| Soundstage...How to determine what's right? I think determining what is right in regards to the soundstage height is based upon personal preferences. I would set yor listening position at a height that is about even with the midrange and tweeter elements of your speakers if they are arrange... | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? Aesthetix IO Signature. I can't believe that I have not posted here yet? Until now, the one and only best phono stage I have heard is the IO Signature. I have heard the Pass Xono, the ASR Basis both mini and exlusive, the Einstein and the integrat... | |
| How goos is the harmonix HS101GP interconnect? I just happen to have 2 pairs of HS101's for my mono amps (Octave MRE130) and a pair to try from my phono stage (Aesthetix IO Signature) to the preamp (Octave HP500SE). I have to add credence to the fact that the Harmonix cables from the preamp to... | |
| TW Raven Acustic AC Owners I have a Clearaudio MontBlanc dedicated turntable stand and it never ceases to amaze me, I can play music loud until their is bass in your chest and the Transrotor Apollon / Clearaudio rack combination are something I never have to worry about. I ... | |
| CES Day 1 Photo Gallery The smaller Transrotor is a picture of the same one I have, the Apollon with carbon-acrylic sandwich construction. I would like to see that one hit a mainstream review, besides the one I posted. Ciao,Audioquest4life | |
| life without audio dealers After reading these posts I would like to add that if the manufacturer became the primary source of sales for the audiophile/customer, then we would all lose out. The reasons are several, first off, the direct sales will have to also rely on stock... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4-JR This sounds like a potential resonance issue at the tweeter during certain frequencies and sound pressure levels. I would check all connections, from amps to speakers, from pre to amps and whatever else you have. Use a set of headphones to see if ... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Hi Markd51,That is what I was saying to do, back off the tracking force from whatever setting you are using now and do it gradually. I may have gotten a little long winded in my last post trying to explain all of the minute things I have experimen... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading If your experimentations with gain does not reveal satisfying results, I would look at the finer details of the mounting of the benz LP. I have commented before in other posts, the LP is sensitive to tracking force and also to VTA. If the LP is se... | |
| Confusion about "high-end" racks That we are, only as crazy as how much we want to spend I guess. One of my friends had a brand new Z06 Corvette and painted it some $14,000 chameleon color, all of the rest of us said WT over,,,,anyway went to car a show and his car did not even p... | |
| Confusion about "high-end" racks I use the Copulare racks hand made in Germany. I thought about all of the issues already mentioned here, vibration control, weight support, aesthetics etc. I realized that the only choice was that something that would at least dampen the electroni... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading When I first had the Benz LP new, I used 390 or 410 I forgot what the Aesthetix IO setting was, however I now use 1000ohms and it seems to work perfectly. I have not tried higher numerically numbers since the 1000 seems fine to me. The users manua... | |

| Review: Transrotor Apollon Turntable Thank you for your response. I am actually the same guy, the review here is the same as the one in Vinyl Asylum, I thought it would be great to share it here as a seperate review. Thanks, Audioquest4life | |
| Aesthetix Io Sig vs Manley Steelhead-opinions pls I cannot comment on the Manley, however, the Aesthetix IO Signature is an outstanding device when you desire an all out assault on vinyl. It leaves me missing nothing. I have seen various posts in this forum about IO versus other phono stages, the... |
