| Leben CS600 or Atmasphere or ARC My understanding is that HiFi+ will have a review of the Atma-Sphere M-60s on DeVore loudspeakers quite soon- issue #192. | |
| Amp making noise on shut off Is replacing caps a factory repair job?Any competent technician could do the job. Is the amp in warranty? If yes, I'd send it back for repair. | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options 2. Hopefully Ralph will weigh in but unfortunately I suspect @atmasphere is referencing his own Class D amplifier that is currently under development. I'm sure it'll be wonderful, but not yet available and perhaps outside your budget. We are wo... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options I’ve heard the Benchmark, Mola Mola and Soulution amplifiers (Examples of High NFB circuits) no SET sonic characteristics in my opinion. I don’t deny that many listeners loves these particular amplifiers and in fact I could be in the minority. ... | |
| Tracking modern pop recordings with very loud bass @mapman The one I like to use is made by Oracle. I think its about $300.00. To really use it effectively, you install it permanently. I'm not a fan of the Rega arms as the ones I've seen don't have a VTA adjustment, but that might be because they... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. Does either of you have a clear idea of what the resonances do that is detrimental to the overall sound? Regarding the problem of VTA setting, I too have found it difficult to regulate arm height in repeatable fashionWhen I got rid of the arm tu... | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered I qualify flat frequency: IN THE ROOM, at the LISTENING POSITION.That’s one of the benefits of L-Pads, you buy from company specs, auditions in showrooms, get them home, they start out sounding different.@elliotbnewcombjr This is where I side ... | |
| Tracking modern pop recordings with very loud bass But can can any good quality vinyl rig track those well? How hard is it and what does it take? Does it take an audiophile vinyl setup to track modern pop recordings like these well? Cost?@For the most part, 'any good quality' vinyl rig will do t... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options It was just more detailed with subtleties that increased realism beyond anything else. That's what I'm asking about in a possible Class D replacement. Speaking from experience, the right class D amp can do that. Class D has as many variations ... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. Ralph, when I say killed the sound, in my experience the use of fluid damping on the SME V reduced speed and coherency. Similar with the analog survival damping. In my experience soft materials tend to store energy, but dont disspate it cleanly... | |
| Tracking modern pop recordings with very loud bass Are there any new vinyl releases like this? Can people’s Record players track it? Or do the producers tone it down when mastering for vinyl.**Of course** it can be tracked on LP! And mastering houses don’t need to hold back. Back in the old days (... | |
| L-Pads. Speakers Awful Without Them, New Ones Ordered You mentioned this before, L-Pads are for the amp, not the drivers.I don’t understand. Right or Wrong?L-Pads, like any pot in a receiver, volume, balance, bass, treble determine how much juice, more or less, i.e. each one a signal strength contr... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. When I distributed the SME V, it never spoke back to me. Nor me :) But it was obvious that the arm tube had resonance. If removing that 'killed the sound' clearly you have bigger fish to fry. Adding the Analog Survival Kit increased the mass of th... | |
| Gave up my SET----looking for moderate to higher power replacement options And despite the modest power rating, this amp had startling dynamics. Because the ear uses higher ordered harmonics to sense sound pressure, and because this amp was really being pushed to hard to drive this speaker, higher ordered harmonics were... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. I ran the SME5 for some years. It benefited greatly from the Sumiko Analog Survival kit; its arm tube had a way of 'talking back' to the cartridge. The Sumiko kit shut that up. Using the 14" Kuzma we got Best Sound at Show from Dick Olsher. |
