| Subwoofer placement - does it matter? please consult your subwoofer manual. positioning is the first step and there are many more to follow. REL has some good online videos about subwoofer basics. | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions $2000 (pre-rabbit hole tire kicking edition) I have a Sutherland 20/20 with outboard linear power supply. Super clean and noise free, dynamic and transparent. Sounds incredible driving a 0.2mv LOMC cartridge at 64db gain as well as .5mv LOMCs and does a great job with MMs too. My keeper. | |
| Speakers good for close to wall placement KEF R series. Use the port plugs for positioning close to the wall. | |
| Filling speaker cavities with cat litter what speaker cavities? hopefully you mean speaker stands. | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Where it’s made is not a factor for me, I just do not care for their sound. The times I have heard their amps they sounded somewhat closed in, slightly euphonic in the treble and flat in the midrange. Jazz horns did not sound very good. | |
| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... @pani 15 hours in and it sounds better than the ortofon cadenza blue ! 64db of gain and a 8 to 13 gram arm and you're going to be in vinyl bliss with the XA. i am mesmerized by how good this cartridge sounds. explosive but delicate, refined y... | |
| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... yes, 12 ohms | |
| 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,no problem, i was already aware of that info for my own calculations. yes this stuff matters, nothing wrong with that. enjoy the xa! fyi music direct shipped the same day for me, recieved it on the third day. peace. | |
| 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? | |
| New Audio Technica ART9XA Up and Running..... thank you.using a Sutherland 20/20 with linear power supply option.definitely an impressive showing cleanly boosting the .2mv with no strain or artifacts at very high listening levels! a most complimentary pairing. | |
| AT-ART9XI Cartridge - Reduced Compliance edit previous post- make that a just installed ART9XA, not XI | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... FYI ART9 users, having owned and loved my ART9 I just installed a new ART9XA, the .2mv Shibata air core version. It sounds completely amazing and bests the sound of a highly regarded $1900 LOMC. I have a 9g arm and am using 64db of gain @ 100 oh... |
