| Going from MM to MC The Lyra Delos sounds above every cartridge I have owned. It is clearer, cleaner, more detailed yet smooth, has dynamics and energy as good as my digital sources. Bass is punchy and detailed, midrange is clear and life like, treble is sweet and n... | |

By that I mean once you break a turntable down into its basic functions and your table has those bases covered, the rest is diminishing returns on the dollar. And yes, pe... | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta Music Direct has a 60 day return window. | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman Which is why I recommended the MoFi Sourcepoint 10- it is a point source system with tweeter in the center of the main driver just like the KEFs but with a 10 inch woofer ! Also the Sourcepoint 8 is excellent too. MoFi Electronic... | |
| LS50 vs R11/7/5 Meta @martinman Depends on how critical of a listener you are. I was in the same boat- loved the sound of the LS50s but even with subs and in my medium room they didn’t sound big enough. I have upgraded several times since the originals and listened... | |

| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs you have pointed out why i do not prefer focal speakers because i highly value the midrange, latest generation mcintosh amps are much clearer and slightly midrange forward hence the improvement. | |
| True high-end Speakers need a midrange There are many exceptions to your conclusion. Also there are issues and compromises with three-way designs. | |
| Speaker placement Quandary @fthompson251 If I had more room I would do the same and pull my speakers more away from the wall behind them. Five feet from front baffle to wall is about optimum for the best bass depending on speaker design requirements. At that distance th... | |

| SL1200G - Tonearm shape from side question for owners dont try to sight the tonearm level. use a small bubble level on top of the headshell. make sure the vtf is backed off temporarily to compensate for the mass of the level. | |
| A "Downgrade" that proved to be a spectacular "Upgrade" ------- Also I much preferred the sound of the Pass Labs XA25 over the Pass XA 30.8 amplifier. The Audio Technica ART9 cartridge blows away the Soundsmith Zephyr mimc star es. |
