| Benz Ruby ZH or Wood SM? I just picked up my Ruby Z today. I will attempt to mount it today or tomorrow. I will post initial impressions immediately. It will be nice to compare the Benz LPS against the Ruby Z. Both arms will be SME V's and the phono stage will be the Aest... | |
| SME V aftermarket cable? I too use the Silver Breeze with silver WBT Nextgen connectors. It made the already nice sounding SME cable (pure hybrid MCD501 cable) sound bland in comparison.Not sure what your price range is, but this is one top contender for sub 1k phono cables. | |
| Skating force at 45rpm Not sure how that would affect the antiskating to much. I use very little antiskating on am SME V arm with the Benz LP-S. No problems using either speed on my setup. Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| Steve Jobs we will miss you Your right about having thick skin nowadays. It seems you need it everywhere, be it at work, sometimes at home (for those who are owned by their spouses), and of course places like this, where it is very easy to speak your mind freely and opposing... | |
| Steve Jobs we will miss you @Inna, "We are not supposed to deliver a eulogy"So you are the eulogy control manager for this forum and therefore everyone has to listen to you? Who put you in control what people say of others? No wonder people read these forums in disgust and a... | |
| Steve Jobs we will miss you No wonder people are leaving these forums. I propose to put some comments in the Anderson Cooper "Ridiculous" column. How does a eulogy turn into a love hate battle of digital versus analog or a business man's ethics? If people feel strongly about... | |
| Benz Ruby ZH or Wood SM? Hi Guys, We are all waiting anxiously for this new Ruby Z. Personally, I am hoping that there will not be much of a different in sound between the two cartrdiges, because that means the Ruby Z, at a lower price is just as good as the LPS. I have n... | |
| Benz Ruby ZH or Wood SM? Hi No_regrets, Thank you for the reply. The Ruby Z is less than a thousand dollars than the LPS, but looking at the specifications, everything else is the same, so, I am wondering if the wood on the LPS is really worth that much more of a differen... | |
| Benz Ruby ZH or Wood SM? Do you know when you will receive the Ruby Z? I just ordered mine yesterday? This will be my second high end Benz MC in my system. I already own the LPS, but needed a good contender for my second tonearm. Have you heard the new Ruby Z yet? | |
| W4S ST-1000, How Loud Should It Play? is there a high/low gain setting on the preamp? How about the amps, do they have a high or low power setting? When I tried some Crown amps as an experiment on my system, they were rated at 300watts per channel and 600 watts bridged. They did not s... | |
| French Doors I would build an acoustic door to mitigate the sound transmission out of the room. There are many companies that build acoustic doors. I just did a quick search and found this company. http://www.industrialacoustics.com/usa/doors_windows_partition... | |
| Benz cartridge phase? Never heard of such a thing with the Benz. As others have mentioned, only if you wire it wrong in the head shell. If your phono or line stage preamp has a polarity switch, experiment with that to see if you notice a change, for the better. I notic... | |
| Subwoofer Differences and Choice "the following subwoofers and which would you choose and why"Of your choices, I would select the B&W 855. I know from personal experience how well the ASW 850 integrates with my system. This sub can go really deep and is easy to setup. I have ... | |
| What will raising the Va of atransformers provide? I thought North American power is 120 volts. That means a 15 amp circuit x 120 volts will equal 1800 watts and a 20 amp circuit will equal 2400 watts. If I was going to be using close to the limit for either scenario, I would opt for several dedic... | |
| EH vs gold lion kt88 I suspect most responses will be purely objective biased by subjective opinions.Based on my personal experiences and on my equipment, the EHKT 88's trump the GL88's in high frequency extension, bass tautness, and midrange extension. The GL's do so... |
