| Cartridge new or used ? I’ve had mostly good luck buying used cartridges. For my last example I paid 2K for a used Lyra Kleos SL. To start with make sure you’re buying from somebody with lots of good feedback and make sure their backstory makes sense. For example if ... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? I have very revealing speakers that tend to sound bright with substandard recordings. I bought a schiit loki and it works very very well. For $149 it’s definitely worth a try.Also you could maybe try swapping out the diaphragm for a non-metallic... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns I would change /add room treatments firstThen maybe new cartridgeThen maybe new turntable and arm. I would only mess with cabling if you had an absolute 100% return policy. Then I would make sure to remove any bias by having someone switch them fo... | |
| New Rega Planer 8 (P8) Turntable - Apheta 2 Cartridge Combo - Thoughts I would go with a kirmuss. Ultrasonic is where it’s at | |
| Is it all in my head?? Exactly! And those of us who question our/and others ability to hear the differences between power cords are not the ones on the ego trip as we are admitting that we are susceptible to bias. @elizabeth. I’m confused, I thought you insisted you c... | |
| Horn listeners - Do you have trouble listening to others? I find with horns they are more likely to highlight glare if it is there. | |
| Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi Output has nothing to do with resolution. In fact I find the lower output cartridges generally to have higher resolution. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound The nerve of him! He probably doesn’t have a clue what he is talking about! And neither do all the science based individuals who study confirmation bias. Just trust your ears 🙄 | |
| Have you had enough of Classic Rock? as someone earlier said, I get sick of the overplayed stuff. I go through phases and switch it up. But I would never drop the genre completely.Also when I’m listening on my best system I tend to lean towards classic rock that is well recorded wh... | |
| Lyra Kleos vs Koetsu Urushi I do believe that you have to consider more than just gain. I tried a Lyra Cleo’s SL with a heron phono stage with I believe 74DB of gain which on paper should be more than enough. However going straight into the phono it sounded a bit polite and ... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A / Origin Live Conqueror / Koetsu Black Goldline I love the teres table as well! One thing I did that made quite a bit a difference for me was I took the strobe sticker that goes on the bottom of the platter, took it to a graphic shop and had it blown bigger so it is right at the edge of the pl... | |
| Is this the end of HEA? I agree with you on a couple of points, cost is definitely not representative of sound quality andGreed is ruining the hobby. Everybody’s looking to make a big big bucks on whatever they produce. | |
| Power Uber Alles ? I find simpler amplifiers to sound better which pretty much means less power | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I’m sure the improvements were obvious to everyone when you told them you had subbed in a larger gauge power cable and that it would sound much better. | |
| Why Power Cables Affect Sound I think people would be further ahead to get rid of the stupid IEC and hardwire a decent gauge cord in instead of spending big bucks on some silly overpriced well marketed crap. |
