| Anyone try Cerapucs under full range speakers? I didn't mean to cause a ruckus here! :-) My thinking was along the lines of the fact that my speakers are over the basement on a suspended floor. I figured spiking them to the floor (which may be optimal for a solid floor) may "enhance" the coupl... | |
| Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2 Very good, and perceptive, report.Agreed. I'm looking forward especially to your impressions of the S3 Mk2 compared to the M2. | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? You make a thoughtful point, lewm. I guess I'll see what happens once the 17 gets here. | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? Agreed. I've been very pleased with the support I've gotten from both the Pass gang and Mark. | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? Well, when I spoke to Kent he said the new 17 and 27 have improved power and also lower noise (with of course the 27 being better still). Mark at Reno says I should expect a blacker background and improved dynamics. As I use some low output carts ... | |
| Where to go from XP-15? XP-17? XP-25? A long delayed update. After speaking to a bunch of other folks, including Pass' Kent and Desmond at AXPONA, I decided to go for the XP-17. I can't swing even a used XP-27, and both K and D use and prefer the XP-17 over the XP-25. While none of th... | |
| AR ES 1 our buy a newer TY Depends on how much you want to spend, IMO. The price you've stated for the ES-1 (unless it comes with an arm) is higher than the selling price when it was new. I bought mine in the late 1980s for $500. Over the years I fully tricked out my ES-1 w... | |
| Telefunken Tube Information Sources? Alo do a search on the Asylum Tube section for posts from Bambi B. A lot of great firsthand use info on the 12AT7 variants. | |
| Roadrunner reapearance It doesn't seem they offer the Roadrunner with a motor controller except as an upgrade package with a new motor. | |
| Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC Let me toss in a suggestion for the exaSound e32 MkII. Granted, you'd have to piece it together with a streamer, but exaSound is offering a package with their DAC, their Sigma Streamer and a Teddy Pardo supply (highly recommended) for $3399. 30 da... | |
| Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II Thanks @slaw. Mine appears to be the same. | |
| Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II @slaw , where did you settle on the VTA for the Sussurro? Is the cart body level, or tipped up the rear a bit? | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? Maybe, @slaw . I set up my Benz SL when I first got a 3D arm in about 5 minutes. I figured the cart alignment gods were smiling on me that day. | |
| Roadrunner reapearance D@mn. I was at AXPONA and missed the SOTA booth. Would have liked to have seen that. | |
| Sussurro MkII and surface noise? The AM setup seemed to optimize especially well for clarity and channel separation. Yes, this is what I've been concluding as well. |
