| MoFi So Long So Wrong Mine sounds quite good, rich but not dark, although track 4 has excessive sibilance on two of three cartridge/tonearm combos. I find the album to be beautifully recorded--I'm surprised it was done digitally. | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono Mike, thanks for the detailed response.This hum is bad news to me. I have a Kansui, which I like alot, and I was very close to buying the Premium BE Mono but now I think I won't. My Steelhead II doesn't sum through the fixed outputs and my VAC Phi... | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono you can do the same thing with interconnects that a mono switch will do.Mikelavigne, please explain. Do you mean by using a Y-interconnect or Y-connector? Otherwise, offhand, I don't see how.Thanks. | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" My preamp is a dealer demo so it had a lot of time on it. The phono stage, however, had a cap replaced and the screw terminals for impedance loading installed, so those changes require some break-in, as do the nude Vishays I use for loading. In my... | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" Follow up: I found the VAC 12AX7s to be better than the Psvanes in this phono stage--more open and balanced. The Psvanes are tonally richer but and not as extended in the highs. I just ordered another set from VAC as back ups. | |
| Benz Slr Gullwing vs Lp s I've been told by a dealer who was told by Musical Surroundings that the two cartridges are identical but for the bodies. This dealer owns both in his system and loves them but says the LP-S is tonally a little richer. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? I like that fat counterweight. Looking forward to the upgrade, whenever that actually happens. I'm on the list but was told recently that it won't happen before 2012. Mr. Graham is behind, I hear. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? The 9-incher works fine with the ring, I just have to be careful. And since my days (and nights) of staggering to the 'table to flip a record are long past, being careful isn't much of a challenge anymore. ;)I only use the alignment jig to get sta... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Rockitman, are you using the outer ring on the Clearaudio table? If so, that might be one reason MusicalSurroundings recommended the 10-in. The 9-in. brings the anti-skate mechanism uncomfortably close to the ring. I have one on the full Innovatio... | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? My M2-12R is on a Nantais Reference Lenco. It plays well with idlers. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dertonarm, so do you also think anti-skate is unnecessary? I'm not asking in order to stoke an argument. I respect your knowledge and experience in vinyl, so I'm curious about your opinion on this subject, which is also somewhat controversial. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Never heard of a captive cable on a Graham. I don't think it's an option. | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? Perhaps I should wait for your tonearm thread but I'll interject here. I just bought a Kansui. I haven't mounted it yet but probably will this week. I'll try it first in my Clearaudio Universal and eventually in my other arms, including an SME M2-... | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" Hello Dev,You asked me to report back on tube rolling the phono section of my Phi Beta, which has the same circuit as your Sig 2a. I've had it for a week now and I'm ready to make a few preliminary observations after rolling a variety of high-qual... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Let me follow the logic of the argument that azimuth adjustment is unnecessary in high-priced cartridges. So anyone who actually uses a Fozgometer or other measurement device and finds it necessary to adjust azimuth in order to optimize readings e... |
