| Dr.John I like Black Keys on LP. There's something elemental about their sound and writing that captures me if I'm in the right mood, making me want to stay within their raw aesthetic. Auerbach is a good craftsman of songs. In concert I found them disappo... | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Actusreus, we flawed creatures without mystical audio powers like objective, repeatable, accurate frames of reference. The block works. | |
| What is the typical VTA for a Benz Ebony TR ? I have an Ebony L, which is not quite a low out-put as yours but otherwise pretty similar. I run it parallel or with tail just slightly down. Tail slightly up makes it a tad bright in my system. Its supplied FR graph does show a rising curve in th... | |
| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? My will stipulates that my heirs must upgrade. | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Millenium makes a gridded, transparent acrylic block for this purpose. It's admittedly expensive at $85 but remarkably convenient for establishing what's parallel and perpendicular to the record surface, with more precision than mere eyeballing. I... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? Audiozen, as a confessed troll, you have no credibility. | |
| SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead Correction: the MM loading options jump from 200 to 47K ohms. | |
| SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead Just to clarify, I wasn't at all suggesting that the MM inputs on the Steelhead are inappropriate for MC cartridges. My point is that the loading options jump from 400 to 47K ohms, both of which would probably be suboptimal for the cartridge in qu... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? As much I like the sound of the IB2i, I agree that they are a poor value proposition at retail prices. Of course, the same can be said of most of high-end audio. | |
| SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead Doesn't seem like a great match. You could try it into the MM inputs at 47K but the results would probably be suboptimal. For an otherwise versatile phono stage, the Steelhead's loading options are frustratingly limited. I say that as an owner and... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? If the grills of my IB2i were to become warped (I assume that's what Mclsound meant by "wraped"), PMC will replace them free of charge for the next 18 years. That's how long I have remaining on the original 20-year warranty, which is transferable.... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? 02-08-10: Mclsound: My neighbour brought his PMC IB1's over this wknd for a true comparison of the MB2/IB1.... We both agreed that these speakers are some of the best we ever heard.Your words. Not mine. | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? Well, at least you confessed to being a prick, so there's something honest about you. Good for you: now you're honestly a prick. | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? Love my IB2i. They do everything extremely well, to my ears, and seamlessly. But I do think they're too pricey. That said, given how much I enjoy them, I don't regret the expense. | |
| Meyer Sound Just two nights ago, I heard the SF Jazz Collective at the new Miner Auditorium in SF, which has a Meyer system, and I could not believe how good it sounded (once the tech on the board dialed it in). Meyer systems consistently produce the best con... |
