| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING For reference I just learned something about my Delos the other night-A new recording was sounding especially bad- edgy and not fun to listen to.I experimented with everything. I made a nice improvement by lowering the gain on my phono preamp for... | |
| Sound variation from good to incredible? same recordings? | |
| Any Tannoy XT8f vs Kef LS50 meta comparisons? i hated the sound of the 8XTF. muddy overblown peaky basscrispy edgy lower treble, 8 in woofer to 1 in tweeter makes for compromises in the crossover frequencies. i loved the LS50s when i owned them, the Metas are voiced more natural. no brainer f... | |

| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING i just did a comparison between my lyra delos and similarily priced ortofon cadenza blue. have had the delos in my system for a few months. used to love the sound of the Cadenza Blue.

| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? Speakers and subwoofers like to be solidly mounted to add structure to the enclosure, they do not like to be in micro motion. The ONLY reason you would ever want to iso mount a speaker or subwoofer is if the energy of the speaker is transfering in... | |
| To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question... Harbeth C7ES3, had them for about 3 years, when fully broken in they were rich sounding without losing too much detail. often magical sounding. SHL5+ for about a year, perfect for me. Sensitive to toe in. More transparent and neutral but still... | |
| KEF Blade -- how good are they? I liked what I heard from the Blades on two different occasions --blown away by their sound stage and sheer power over the room.-did not care for their overall tone which was an odd mixture of warmth and coolness. lots of midbass warmth yet at th... | |

| Amp recommendations for Spendor The D7.2 are not too big for your room, I had the D7 for a while in a similar room and they sounded fantastic. I used a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum II tube integrated and would greatly recommend using a high powered tube amp with the Spendors. The S... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) Not a fan of the sound of the Focal Kanta and if you must McIntosh or Luxman Class A would be my amplifier of choice. I like the Klipsch Forte and Cornwall but do not love them because they have too much cabinet coloration that mucks up midrange v... | |
| New speakers dilemma for vinyls... Heeelp! :))) @adversam no matter how you slice it you have a large room with an amp that clips at 80 watts / 8 ohms. An excellent amp but you will best be served with more efficient speakers. The Volti Razz is the best match according to your list in terms... | |
| Cartridges for Rega Tables Hana are 16mm to the tip of the stylus. Dynavector 17DX3 is 15.8mm and an excellent sounding cartridge. | |
