| Sonic atributes ultralinear vs tetrode vs pentode Thanks for clearing this up Trelja. | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? If you decide to change the phono preamp, make a fairly big move.Why? When you eventually decide to upgrade the table/arm/cartridge, you'll be set.The alternative is to upgrade the table/arm/cartridge now as the Cronus is a very nice component. Ho... | |
| what is the proper loading Need more information.Thanks. | |
| Much better MM cartridge than Shure V15 IV? I'd leave the cartridge alone and invest in a really good phono preamp. Even the best moving magnets will perform only "ok" in that arm. And the Shure V15-IV is no slouch btw.IMO | |

| Synergistic Research Cables Then you need to buy the quantum tunneling, vibratrons, tuning bullets, resonating cups and saucers, air strings, 2 turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree.Good luck. | |
| Anti Skating adjustment Correcting an error in an earlier post, VTA is set with the top surface of the cartridge parallel to the platter.Not the tonearm. | |
| SET amp recommendation The 2 most important components of an SET amp are the power supply and output transformers.If you have a high quality source and resolving speakers, I don't believe there is much available for $1500 you'd be happy with long term.IMO | |
| Upgrade Amp or CD/Sacd...Help Needed The original manufacturer's paperwork from JBL recommends 150WPC for optimum performance.That being said, the SET tube amp is probably a very poor idea.IMO, the Pass X350.5 won't be much of an upgrade over the Nakamichi but the higher powered mode... | |
