| 14/4 wire for speakers- good idea? Bad idea? Excellent insight guys. My gear is not super high end...but certainly not cheap, so I most certainly want to benefit from the dollars spent to date....let alone have a configuration that may create havoc between speakers and amp. Point of note Im ... | |
| 14/4 wire for speakers- good idea? Bad idea? So to be clear cable in 4 or more seperate bundles twisted at the ends is not as effective or have the same properties as one braided strand? Thanks. | |
| 14/4 wire for speakers- good idea? Bad idea? I think once twined at the ends it is effectively 11 guage. If higher end manufacturers use this design then it looks to be a sweet deal unless I’m missing something. I’m also doing bare wire termination. | |
| Cartridge Suggestion Requested I load mine at 1000 ohm. At or below 500 is far from ideal. Soundsmith recommends loading it at or close to 1000. | |
| Cartridge Suggestion Requested This is a jump in price but the Soundsmith Zephyr Star may bring to the party what you are seeking. I’ve had the 2m black, dynavector, and Benz carts. It’s the most balanced one of the lot and is my current go to pick up. | |
| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range Had an avid pulsus that I really liked. Very dynamic and punchy. Then went to a zesto andros. Phenoninal!You can get a used one for a great pride well under your limit. | |
| Phono cable recommendations - high performance good value cable I have a VPI Prime with a Soundsmith Zephyr Star. I have had good results with Morrow phono cables. They have several grades to choose from and even offer payment plans on the pricier models. I think my current cable is a ph4. Check them out. | |
| Lamm ll2.1 a microphone??? Sorry for the delay but the tubes sat at Canadian customs for far too long. Grrr.Anyway I did a total tube swap and what a major difference. Even if tubes test well it doesn't mean jack in terms of overall performance. I have a tester and all my o... | |
| Lamm ll2.1 a microphone??? Hi tooblue. Ordered them and waiting for shipment. Went for some Mullard cv4003 and Russian NOS 6h23eb's. Cant wait to try them. | |
| Lamm ll2.1 a microphone??? A tube issue is music to my ears...hate to think it might be something else. I'll do a tube swap and see how it goes. | |
| Lamm ll2.1 a microphone??? Hmm. I also get the same effect. The slightest touch to the chassis or volume knob is picked up very clearly. I even picked up symposium roller blocks to see if that would help. | |
| Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2? Beautiful system tooblue!Wow. 13 pres to land on the Lamm. i too have a VPI prime with Weights. It goes into a Zesto phono pre. Digital is all flac into a Chord Dac. Speakers are Volent vl3. Thank oh so much re the tube rolling option. I'll follow... | |
| Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2? Well I have had the Lamm for under a day now and what a stark contrast. Not as detailed but So much more weight and body to the music. My goodness!!! | |
| Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2? Thanks so much to all. I've decided to go for it. Should have it in a few days. Will post my thoughts. | |
| Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2? Used ones are rarely up for sale/resale so guaging pricing is tough. Thoughts anyone? |
