| Will a tube amp work well on Revel f208? A 100 WPC KT120 powered Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III will be able to drive these no problem- medium to medium large rooms. Should sound awesome. | |
| Anybody Listen Voxativ? I came away thoroughly impressed with a demo of the voxitive zeth towers. female vocals were reproduced better than i have ever heard. unfortunately i did not hear them with more complex, demanding music of which their limitations may have been ... | |

| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance @keegiam per the Audio Technica web site you can multiply the 10um compliance by 1.5 to 2X to calculate compliance at 10Hz. This is the first time I have ever noted an manufacturer's compliance conversion formula in print. From AT: To determin... | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance I have no doubt that the XI is nice but listening more today of the XA, I would not want any more bass or warmth. I suspect the XI has more of this. Everything sounds great on this cart. Is it that big of a deal to mod the class to see 64db? | |

| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance Just installed an ART9XI and had owned the ART9 previously.Running on a 9g arm with 64db and the sound is thoroughly enjoyable. Refinement, sound stage, transparency, dynamics and that treble ! Sounds better than a $1900 LOMC from a highly respe... | |
| .2mv vs .4mv out for LOMC into 60db gain phono stage? I have an ART9XA on order and will be using 64db of gain. Possibly the bare minimum I would run.I ran a .3 mv cartridge successfully with 60 db gain. The comparable calculation for .2mv is 63.5 db. | |
