| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon @pindac, Thank you. Yes I agree, that tonearm is quite impressive. @tomic601 , I was sort of leaning that way.. go full bore and see how it will sound with a top performing cartridge, but, I am also rationalizing that if the TRA 9 is actu... | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon Finally, the Transrotor TRA9 tonearm is here. I will install later this weekend, but, I have a hard decision to make. I need to decide which cartridge to use with this new tonearm first. either the new Air Tight Opus 1 or the Soundsmith Hyperion. ... | |

| Speaker cable shootout Townsend Audio Fractal F1, Fidelium, AA Statement e SC Cryo rhodium My Neotechs are pure original Neotech speaker cables. Neotech is also an OEM supplier to other companies…one I believe is Acoustic Zen. Yes, the Neotechs are expensive, but my goal was to benchmark my cables against highly popular cables. I was fo... | |
| Speaker cable shootout Townsend Audio Fractal F1, Fidelium, AA Statement e SC Cryo rhodium Oh man…,what a ride so far. Two cables arrived, Townshend F1 and Audio Art Statements gold. This is a quick update and not detailed. It will be enough to make you salivate for more, LOL. My intent was to compare these against my reference Neot... | |
| Benz SLR Gullwing, not sensitive to loading? That explains it. I now know why I always felt an affinity towards 47k values for my LOMCs. Even though I did start with the recommended loading values set by the manufacturer, I gradually migrated to the higher values as each time I went higher, ... | |
| Benz SLR Gullwing, not sensitive to loading? When I use my Benz LPS with an Aesthetix Io Eclipse dual power supply phono stage I use 47k. This setting sounds best to me. I arrived to this setting after a long period of experimentation. I appreciate the mathematical formulas to generalize on ... | |
| CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS I wonder how well this new product will work with 16 ohm speakers? Sure, it will work, but, how effectively. This is a surprise for folks who have cherished the OTL designs for use with 16 ohm speakers. | |
| Systems over $100k @ted_denney A little off topic, but, what is the brand of armchair in your pic? It looks nice. Is it your listening chair? I am looking for a set of front row arm chairs that are comfortable for music listening and with enough plushness for w... | |
| Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all? @mijostyn A little off topic. Would something like the Tacx Neo be useful for someone who has had recent L5/S1 artificial disc replacement with the ActiveL disc? I had the disc replacement procedure on 1 July and tried Peloton bike, but leaning ... | |
| Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products) @lancelock That’s great news. Glad you had pleasing results right from the box. John has been giving me updates and is apologizing for the delay. When did you order your F1s? I also wonder if the owners passing had any impact on their top... | |
| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. Lot’s off good advice here. Do not overcomplicate it for sure. Your best bet is to use a tool that you are very familiar with and enjoy...well, who "likes" spending time, lots of time worrying about very minute micro-millimeter variances in some s... | |
| Waiting on Townshend Fractal speaker cables (and any other Townshend products) I have been on and off. Still pending shipping status...no date. | |
| I believe I experienced great PRAT for the first time Congratulations on your new OCL Hyperion.

Regardless of what you call it, the information that is being retrieved and how it is co... | |
