| Switch preamp? notesaddict. Glad I could help. It sounds like Don is quite backed up. Did he offer you an audition period? From my remembrance he uses top quality parts in his amps and preamps. I probably should have bought one of his preamps last year when I t... | |
| Switch preamp? notesaddict I am happy with the sound but ...Sounds like audiophilosis. I have it too. My system sounds better now than ever before. Yet I keep looking at tonearms and lately, tube amps. Before that tube preamps. I can give good reasons for... | |
| stereo receiver recommendations Shoff do not be afraid of the Luxman R-117 because it is not new technology. Do some research and read the reviews. This is one of the best receivers of all time! Willand I definitely would say the R-117 is legendary. I had the Luxman R-1... | |
| Is it possible to buy a decent tube amplifier in the $2000-3000 range? IIRC, the Conrad Johnson 2500A at 250 wpc was a high current amp made to push difficult loads. You can find a used one for 1600-1800 (I believe) I had one which was nice. It is a SS design with a tube warmth. | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Lew. I was shocked at the lack of hours on my Benz. My post above shows how I tracked the time. So, yes, 2000 hrs is quite a long time. I don't play for hours every day. But I listen to my fair share of vinyl and yet my cartridge has at the most 3... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Buying anything without a warranty has risks. Some aren't willing. Some are. Thats why used equipment is sold daily. But not all buy used. My budget required me to buy used. Or owe a lot on credit card, LOC, etc. Everyone has their own set of prio... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family Chakster. I hear you. Two things I'll point out. There are more ways to replace Zyx than through Mehran I bought mine used (200 hrs) at a ridiculous low price. The owner, another audiophile, bought a Universe at a great price and only had this mou... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family This cartridge is addicting. Racedoc, I'm probably only 1/2 gr from the 25 now. Thanks for the info. | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 I am very pleased with the Zyx. And my system sounds better than ever. My tonearm is a good one. However it doesn't have VTA on the fly and no azimuth adjustment which is normal for Origin Live. I haven't tried other arms and would love to hear th... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 OK, I mounted the ZYX 4D G SB low output cartridge to my arm on Tuesday. First impression. WOW!!. The dynamics were off the chart. Actually a little too much. But, the cartridge hadn't had time to settle. Even so, the separation of instruments was... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 Well, I took Rauls advice and bought a ZYX 4D G SB. Lets see what changes are brought about. My Benz Ebony L is a good cartridge. However, one reviewer replaced his Ebony L with the 4D. We'll see. I've been wanting a Zyx. | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 I own a zyx airy 1000 on a conqueror mk 2 arm. Arthur Salvatore said that the zyx is very sensitive to VTA and VTF. I USE A VTAF from Pete Riggle , vta on the wind,and it is very useful when you listen to a modern flimsy record and then a speake... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 Interesting concept Raul. I know you are much more experienced with tonearms and cartridges than I am. I think I am satisfied with the cartridge and have felt the weak spot to be the arm...IF there is a weak spot.I did see a Zyx Airy 1000 G with S... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 nrenter, Does Chris still make the tonearms? I emailed him a few months ago when I had a slight problem and he was helpful in getting it resolved. Bearing just needed an oil change. He said he was still in business but to a much smaller scale. Th... | |
| I need a fitting/appropriate tonearm for my Teres 340 Wntmute & Harold, I remember when that arm 1st came out. Reviews were quite favorable. I considered one for a scoutmaster. But I don't think I could ever come to like it on my TT because it would be such a clash of design, etc.. Tables which h... |
