| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @karl_desch,BTW…forgot to add that my cartridges are mounted on SME Vs…and the one new tonearm I am looking at is the TRA9…essentially a newer improved SME V. If I order a new Transrotor Tourbillion it may well come with the new TRA9 tonearm. http... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @karl_desch Yes, we are more than likely hearing the same things. Will be interesting to hear your listening impressions on the FR-64s…don’t think anyone has tried that combination yet. Also, will be great to hear your impressions mounted on the K... | |
| Kuzma 4Points and Lyra carts @karl_desch Congratulations on your pending acquisition of the Kuzma 4point 9. That is an arm I have been considering for a while. It would be the third arm for my Transrotor Apollon turntable. Are the Kuzma arms compatible with SME mounting? Rega... | |
| Noise floors @millercarbon, "Groove noise is the new noise floor." That is where I am at. Low 20's in DB measured in the room. Lifetime of playing around, career related, and hobby stuff got me to build a dedicated listening room that is quiet. In this hobby, ... | |
| klipshorn speakers Klipschorn speakers will definitely shake a room or two. They can play very loudly due to their efficiency. If your son wants that loudness in the room, will the rest of the home accept this loudness? Is the room specially built and treated to kee... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration It’s only a problem if not properly implemented. So, Not me, I am not worried, at least for low level listening where bass smearing might be more noticeable if not properly implemented. At way louder and extreme listening levels…the way I listen, ... | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Hi Tim,Thank you. Appreciate the good vibes and feedback. Yes, the Classic T-1.5s produce great bass as is, but having lived with augmented bass for so many years and my frequent excessive need for an over abundance of bass when rocking out, I fel... | |
| Phono cartridge torque wrench @millercarbon,I can’t believe that Porsche has such a high torque rating on the center lock hub lug nut. That is race car territory. Anyways, agree, just tighten the cartridge snug fit to the point when all spurious play or wiggle room is eliminat... | |
| Scheu Audio Das Laufwerke No 2 Arrives Safely Congratulations on your recent acquisition. I love the look of mass loaded turntables. The Sheu Laufwerke 2 reminds me of a few Transrotor models as well. Is you’re new turntable black or acrylic? Happy listening. | |
| Distributed Bass Array configuration Well, I am going to join the DBA Swarm club, will, let’s call it the “Magnum” Swarm club. Instead of 4 10” subwoofer driver cabinets, I am getting 4 12” subwoofer driver cabinets in 36”x14”x14” dimensions. After speaking with James Romeyn about m... | |
| Analog Upgrade - Where to start? Your system specs look good to me. Based on what you said; “ looking for more dynamic sound, detail (without edge) and musicality.”, the first places I would look at are 1., the phono cartridges…there are so many newer models at various price poin... | |
| Shunyata Research alpha hc vs Shunyata Research original black mamba I have two pairs of the Black Mamba and one older Alpha. The Black Mamba is used on my dual power supply phono stage and the alpha on my preamp. They seem to work very well and I don’t perceive any problems. But, the newer versions of these Alpha ... | |
| Single vs. Dual Subs You can obtain satisfactory results with one sub, but to achieve really great integration you also you need; lots of time, and a way to equalize and tailor the bass frequency response to correlate to your listening position. I have found great res... | |
| Transrotor Turntable please help… What model is your Transrotor? The link does not work. Specifically, what kind of help do you need or what questions do you need answered? I am very familiar with Transrotor. | |
