| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Fjn04:Thanks!!! You are are correct sir, the AT does need more break-in. The London’s are great. | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 So I spoke with the dealer again and in fact it appears that this cartridge may have only played about 20 records prior to it landing in my possession. The limited playtime would perfectly explain why my initial thoughts about the cartridge were n... | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 lewm:I absolutely agree with you that components can sound better then worse (wash repeat) during break-in. I actually wondered if that is what was/is occurring with the ART 1000. Either way, at this point it sound fantastic and I am probably goin... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:They probably should place that on the site. Either way, I figured it was probably over a B.W. outside of 20-20khz. This why I stated that listening is the ultimate arbiter. Thanks for getting the exact freq range information. | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 noromance:Thank you. I was actually reading some of your posts a little earlier this evening ago regarding the Decca cartridges :) | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:I agree with you but I have to confess something LOL. The ART started sounding better last night as I put another 5 hours on it. I don’t think the dealer really put 80 hours on this unit. I am not saying that he told me a fib but rather proba... | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 bdp24:I would recommend you have a chat with Robin Wyatt. I don't want to write out of turn concerning any of his policies :)You have much more experience with Deccas than I do with the Reference being my first real exposure to them not counting Y... | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Lewm: Thanks for the kind words. I did neglect to mention that the cartridge had 80 hours on it prior to my beginning the listening sessions.I will still continue working with it to see what more I may be able to coax out of it to the possible det... | |
| AT ART 1000 vs London Reference vs Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 bdp24:I agree, it does seem as though he would have wanted to go up the chain and eventually review the London Reference. I think I will be getting a Tsar next for audition. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) bluewolf:You are welcome, I am glad it was helpful to you. I have foot switches on multiple SMPS powered devices around my home which makes it easy to disconnect them from the wall. As you found with the blue ray player, it is not enough to simply... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani;Actually hearing something is the ONLY way to judge it, anything else is just speculation. I look forward to reading your thoughts :)My 103.3 has gotten steadily better and is sounding more like the ART 1000 than not. There are differences b... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:It’s +/-0.5db and it’s a current amplifier which means it will auto load the cartridge. Measurements seldom tell the whole story, which supports my OTL amplifiers sounding better than any and all solid state amplifiers I have ever compared th... | |
| Arche headshell with London Reference cartridge - fantastic results Thank you for this post. I have a London Ref and I think I will order the Arche headshell and look into the Aggelos wires. I use my Ref with the SPL Phonos set to 330pf/47k ohms and it sounds scary real. Thinking of trying to aquire a FR66s in ord... | |
| Ana Mighty Sound 103.3 Pani:Unfortunately I do not. I will say that in my discussions with Francois of Ana Mighty Sound, I have found him to be a connoisseur of good sound. That guy knows what he is doing and the equipment he deals with is TOP NOTCH (Neumann DST's, Tsar... | |
| review iPhono 2 pbraverman:Read your trial, sorry you had to go through that. It's never fun when these sorts of things drag out. I thought you handled it well and I especially liked your balanced and intelligent response to one of the less enlightened posters to... |
