| Aesthetix IO Signature upgrade path? Thank you all for the responses. I was awaiting some responses from users in the field before I made any official calls to the factory. @Albertporter, I have used so many different power cords in my system, from HMS, Bryston, Neotech NEP 3001 with... | |
| the best kt88 tube there is available? You are right in that there should be a best but there are way to many variables. I have heard the GL 88's called the best, not in my book, they sound great, but so do my other tubes I have put through the hoops of my amps. I know what you are ref... | |
| the best kt88 tube there is available? Hi Koegz, That is a very impressive and nice looking system that you have. My experience with the KT 88 series is based on TAD, EH, SED winged C and GL. All of these were KT88's. My amps, Octave MRE 130, mono tube amps have 140 watts per side and ... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? Raul, Are you implying that someone should select one of the alignment calculations and use a single null point to align the cartridge rather than two? I have seen excellant results with either situation, depending on the arm and cartridge combina... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? Dave, I am glad to be able to provide some real world information about the new Benz LP S to others. I agree that some of the newness of the new LP S is probably aiding in some of that Benz magic I am describing. I do remember distinctly from owni... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? Thank you. I would not call the original LP subdued but I would say it is not as revealing as the new Benz LP S. The older Benz LP has brought me many hours of beautiful satisfying music and all with the same attributes I describe with the new LP ... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? Ok the wait was worth it. This is not a review, yet. Just an initial informative update about the new Benz LP S. If you can adjust the longitudal balance as I can on the SME V, you will not have any problems matching and setting up the cartridge. ... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? The wait has been extened another day. Sadly the LP S was mailed out today from the distributor. I will hopefully pick it up from the dealer tommorrow afternoon. Man, the wait is rough. I have a backlog of LP's to spin already. I do not want to sc... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? Thank you for the link, that is a good one, already bookmarked. I like that one way better than the one at Vinyl Engine. The sums for the LP S an V arm are okay looking to me. I understand your concern about damping though. VPI was my first choice... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? You are are right. My bad. I thought the chart I was shown stated 6.9 for the older LP. I found this chart at Vinyl engine useful after I last posted: http://www.vinylengine.com/cartridge_resonance_evaluator.php?eff_mass=11&submit=SubmitI do s... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? I just came back from the dealer and have good news, the SME V and new LP S are within tolerance of keeping the resonance below levels. The original LP fits in the scale at about 6.9 and the newer LP S version fits at about 7.9, the play room for ... | |
| Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ? I have a Benz LP and the SME V, not the S version and do not have any mechanical and/or resonance issues. Of course the original LP is lighter and therefore does not have the mass as the newer version. Have you already purchased the LP S? If so, w... | |
| Fozgometer? Does anyone know how this compares to the Feikert azimuth plus? Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| Pangea power cords Mrtennis, You raise some good thoughts about these cables and the system and a persons own synergy issues. I pretty much agree with you about the AC9 being even handed in frequency. I would speculate that these are trult a bargain for those that c... | |
| Cable lifters/towers- voodoo or the real thing? Depends! I am not sure about the tonal effects of cable lifters but I do know they help keep my massive speaker cables from bending or pulling down from the terminals of my mono amps which are raised off the floor by virtue of sitting on amps stan... |
