| MC suggestions How about Soundsmith Sussaro MK2, last generation on sale at various web outlets. It’s definitely a keeper for me having had several Benz LPS in rotation for a while. It has all of the superlatives you described that you wanted. | |
| Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" MFSL UDOS 45rpm Still waiting....ordered mine late October. Happy listening. | |
| Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II The LPS has been my go to cartridge for years....I was saving for a Koetsu Onyx, but, might not have to anymore😀Sure digging the sound from this Soundsmith. | |
| Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II Not quite broken in, at 30 hours, but starting to get a taste of the sound, and it’s sweet. When new, I tried the recommended 470 ohms, then 1000, and up from there all the way to 47k....then back 470, this on an Aesthetix IO Signature tube phono ... | |
| Beautiful Vicoustic's flagship Wavewood panels for room tretment. Anyone? Wow, been away for a minute and missed some great discussions about something that really interests me. @chakster I like the Vicoustic products and when I initially purchased them, they were at the forefront of combined bass and diffuser products.... | |
| PS Audio P5 - leave on or power off when done listening? I leave it on all of the time. It’s installed on my AV rack and only is used when I watch movies, otherwise, it’s sitting idle. Been like that for a year now. | |
| Do you ever do this before you listen? Or you can take a dose of cough syrup with guaifenesin, which seems to clear all of my sinuses, or doing simple stretches, the preferred method, by doing these two things: 1., stand straight with your back against a wall, turn head slowly left and... | |
| Stereo Speakers behind a perforated screen- How much loss in sound? I agree that there is some loss of fidelity with using acoustic transparent screen, therefore, not ideal for critical two channel listening. I have two separate setups, home theater with the aforementioned acoustic transparent screen and B&W 8... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Aesthetix IO Signature with combination of NOS and modern tubes. Sounds great to me, and absolute bliss every time I play records. Tubes are the only things I have replaced over the 13-14 years of ownership. Experimented with ASR battery phono in ... | |
| Soundsmith Progression: MIMC Star > Sussurro Mk II I just received my Sussurro and it sounds great out of the box. Tracking at 1.85 and experimenting between 470 and 1k loading. 1k sounds more lively, and 470 more even keel. Too soon to judge these settings as it should settle in more before givin... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables Reading through this post and I find it interesting that some folks have swapped some pretty expensive cables for these new ones. It seems to me that at the core of these cables, it is a silver core with a braid/wrap which the goal is to eliminate... | |
| Upgrading Power Service In New Home Build Hi all, I just wanted to follow-up with what I did to address the power for my new listening room. First, I had the room, actually 2 rooms, completely customized for acoustics, power, and aesthetics (dual use room/home theater/stereo). The contrac... | |
| Power Cords Has anyone besides me tried Tempo Electric's custom power cords? I have a pair powering my McIntosh MC2301 amps, off a PS Audio P10, and another one from the wall to the P10. Absolute bliss in mine, and others ears, who have heard my system. Of co... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! @prof, Yes, exactly. Something like that should aid tremendously in your vibration mitigation strategies. Glad that you don’t have to worry about airborne transmitted vibrations either👍😀 | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! @prof, What makes this hobby fun is the shared interests and experiences of others to help each other out. In terms of isolation, the more rigid and robust in terms of mass your base platform is, the better it will isolate the rest of the equipmen... |
