| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? EMT 950/948 phonostage sounds very even, neutrar, fast.But the sound is very rough. Me and my friends prefer EMT with external tube phonostages by a big margin. I know Fabritius sells EMT phonostge board with modern better op-amps.EMT tonearm is n... | |
| Horn speakers , high efficiency but not “shouty” I have the similar size room 14' x 22' x 8' my 6 watt SET drives Altec 604E easily.I'm sure even 2a3 or 45 SET will be enough!I think the really sensitive horn speakers don't need more power for a such size room. | |

| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? I had Lenco 78 with heavy plinth and SME 3009 tonearm.I liked it more than Nottingham Spacedeck/Spasearm that I had too.Lenco has better bass definition, texture and PRAT.After that I bought EMT 948. EMT is much better than Lenco. EMT sound is mor... | |
