| The pivoted arm experiment is over The results of the experiment do not surprise me. I have a tnt with a 12 inch jmw and then acquired an old beat up hw19 with an et. I found myself listening to the hw19 more and more until I broke down and sold the jmw and bought 2 more et's. I al... | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 Arm - how good is it? I've seen lewm mention this lack of azimuth adjustment quite a few times. Just to set the record straight that is not correct. There is a screw where the headshell connects, all you have to do is loosen this and adjust away. | |
| 6SN7 tube question Whatever you do don't buy from Matthieuriverin from Quebec. He does not stand behind his tubes when there is an issue. There are more folks than just me that have had issues as well. Buy from Andy or the tubestore. | |
| Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it? I compared the herron head to head against the zesto and the rhea signature and it was better by no small margin. I would think the EAR to be a good choice if you wanted to keep the cost down. | |
| Which model Tannoy for my audio room I would go with the kensingtons or the canterburys. I think the yorkminsters bass would overwhelm the room. Maybe the stirlings. Canterburys maybe be borderline too much as well. | |
| What's your "diminishing returns" preamp choice? Has anyone ever heard a bottlehead beepre? I've been intrigued by 300 B preamps for quite some time and loved the DIY aspect of the hobby. So I really been thinking about giving the bottle head A try. | |
| Devialet Amplifiers Joeinids experience is not indicative of mine. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio I think both schools of sound are represented. Some state of the art is still lush and convincing sounding, such as my Tannoy's with set amplification. But I guess I agree most mainstream is as you described. Someone above had a good comment that ... | |
| Van Den Hul what is the best cart ? I bought a colibri xgp and it's pretty phenomenal, came from a Lyra Delos. For instrumental music the colibri is unbeatable but for rock and vocals the Delos is more satisfying. The colibri tends to highlight the least bit of sibilance. | |
| Another I would try asl hurricanes with them | |
| Best 845 tube out there? Goldeneraguy I have Sophia 845 amps, the ultimate top of the line ones, with their brand of tubes. Their tubes have reliability problems and are merely rebranded TJ. When you try to get a refund warranty Richard just blames you and offers you a ne... | |

| Best 845 amp? I wouldn't go with coincident. Made in China, which I have no issue with as long as it's declared and priced accordingly. | |
| Extraordinary recordings on vinyl Slaw you mentioned a Frazey ford album. I heard her on CBC, loved it and had to buy a few of her albums. Got one and the sonics were absolutely horrible, unlistenable. Wonder if it's the same label as yours? | |
| Doge 9 listening experience... And also people always trot out the silly "you'll be sorry when it needs service" comments. In fact any decent tech can work on any brand. There is not much that is groundbreaking in tube devices. Ss on the other hand can be different. Another rea... |
