| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 The ability of any tonearm to "outperform" another is largely based on 2 factors:1. The cartridge(s) used. It's difficult to assess either the tonearm or cartridge performance without considering the other. There are very good and very bad tonearm... | |
| lps sound bad No big deal Ralph.I think the issue is resolved.Thanks for taking your time though. | |
| New to Analog and just played my first record in Gwyn Thomas. | |
| lps sound bad I just received a response from the principle administrator of the Albums Discography website.The original Brain Salad Surgery in the US was released on Manticore only.Atlantic reissued the album in 1977.Thanks to all. | |
| Rock Siblings..... The original statement of the OP "Zak Starkey has surpassed his Dad in every way" is simply untrue although other posters have danced around it by comparing him to Keith Moon, citing his technical ability, etc. etc.His dad was one of the Beatles. ... | |
| Stealth Indra Vs Purist Audio 20th Anniversary i/c With cables as expensive as Indra and 20th Anniversary, you should MAKE time for your own evaluation. Would you buy a new luxury car without driving it?I certainly wouldn't rely on other opinions given the cost of these products.Anyway, the bottom... | |
| Atma-sphere S-30 with Reference 3A? I've never used the Speltz autoformers and can't speak to their effect on output power with impedance changes. However the previous statement "Raising the impedance will also reduce the amplifier's power output" is incorrect with Atma-Sphere amps.... | |
| lps sound bad Ralph,I bought the album on release as I did with all albums way back when. Within the first few days in almost every case.OCD? OK, guilty.In any case I've never seen an Atlantic pressing. I know their next 3 albums Works Vol. 1, Works Vol. 2, and... | |
| Atma-sphere S-30 with Reference 3A? I don't agree with the other posters.The S-30 loves high impedance loads; a minimum of 8 ohms. The power output lessens with lower impedances in Atma-Sphere amps.I'd check the impedance curve of the De Capo. If it is not ruler flat you could have ... | |
| whats the best addition u have bought for system Start smart with a good foundation and install some dedicated lines. | |
| Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200? >>With your stuff I think you should try a tube integrated. I like the Pathos a lot. Art Audio just came out with one too.<<Well that's bad information as the Art Audio Lissa is a solid state (chip) amp, not tubed. | |
| Up grading power amp... Mono blocks or stereo amp? >>two monos are always better than a stereo amp<<Not true at all. There are many excellent stereo amps and an equal number of poor mono blocks.Separate chassis does not guarantee anything except the requirement of an extra power cord. | |
| lps sound bad Brain Salad Surgery was released in mid-November of 1973. It is on Manticore, a label they formed themselves after making enough money from the first 4 albums.According to the Album Discography web site anything on Atlantic, at least in the US, is... | |
| Which part reduces surface noise most? The tonearm/cartridge pairing. | |
| Rock Siblings..... >>there's been a rumor those Beatles tracks were laid down by Billy Cobham...<<Right, and Paul is dead. |
