| Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2? Wow, I'm glad I asked. I am using a Monolithic passive/active linestage driving my Audio Research D250mkII into Proac 3.8's.The ARC is input sens. of .8v and is increadibly easy to drive. I cannot put my phono direct into ARC without it being too ... | |
| Vinyl experts, I need your advice. TNT6, ETII,Benz O.K. I think I nailed it today. I spent about 2.5hrs on aligning the arm and cartridge and it sounds REALLY good. It is tracking some of my classical albums as well. I'm really impressed with what a little patients can achieve.I also cleaned the a... | |
| Vinyl experts, I need your advice. TNT6, ETII,Benz Yes, I've read about some of those upgrades, but I'm not sure if the HP Manifold is still available.Ive been researching some cartridge upgrades, but for now I'm hoping to just retip the Benz Gold and upgrade later. I hear so much about the Shelte... | |
| Vinyl experts, I need your advice. TNT6, ETII,Benz Wow, thanks for all the help. The arm seems to move in both directions freely, however I have never cleaned the capilleries so I'll give that a try. I'lll also double check the tracking force although I think it is o.k. as I just recently set this... | |
| Choosing cables for Passive applications? Wow the Monolithic is a GREAT piece of gear! My wife and I put a tonne of hours on this since we've got it. The beauty of it is we can run passive OR active depending on the position of the volume knob.It's really quite simple. CD requires NO prea... | |
| recommended cartridge for ETII tonearm Yep! Your right, I would really love to hear a bunch of different cartridges on my setup, but I have to depend a little on reviewers opinion. A nice idea in a store would be to have cartridges already setup on armwands to interchange semi rapidly! | |
| recommended cartridge for ETII tonearm Thank you Rushton,those were good reads, however I'm a little confused as the effective mass for the ET tonearm is given in two planes, vetical (7gram) and horizontal (25-35 grams). If the vertical is the mass I use to help, it goes against the lo... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Asonicyouth, the table in "Indecent P.." is a VPI TNT with an Eminent Technologies tonearm.I gasped in the theater much to the dissapointment of my wife and was quickly followed with an elbow to the ribs!"Love Potion No.9" has a Krell system in it... | |
| recommended cartridge for ETII tonearm Thanks for the replies, I'm wondering what is considered "medium to low" compliance? | |
| Choosing cables for Passive applications? Thanks for the responses, I haven't been able to get to them for a while so I'm just beginning to experiment. I had recently used an Ayre V5-x preamp in the system and it sounded very good, but when I plugged the CD directly into the amp (using th... | |
| ARC sp10 joy and concern... HI Dave, I have a D250 that has a slight hum as well. I found repositioning the amp made it go away. my floor was a bit uneven and the amp being a monster needs REALLY solid level surface to sit on. With the amp on try slightly lifting the handles... | |
| ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8 Yes I bought the D250mkII. It's excellent as well. My wife would disown me if I got rid of it!I will keep the SS ARC in mind though and would love to hear one.Thanks for your reply | |
| ARC 100.2 Enough power for Proac 3.8 Thats one I haven't heard of! | |
| How to match preamp gain to amp sensitivity? Hi Rich, I don't know if I've mentioned it but there are attenuators on the back of my ARC D250 and I am going to try it a bit more before deciding on pre or passive. I did it for a short period but no critical a-b ing. It did prove to me that the... | |
| How to match preamp gain to amp sensitivity? That makes perfect sense Eldartford. I am using an Ayre K-5x that belongs to a friend which I soon have to replace as he wants it back. It's a very nice sounding unit with about 4db of single ended gain which works pretty good with my ARC amp. I w... |
