| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? kind of unsettling that the prime requires a speed controller to compete with the G. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G congrats @jsm71 ! I will be very interested to hear how the ART9 and Delos compare as I own the '9 and am considering the Lyra. -i'm in a similar position with turntables and am considering the G, the RP8 and the VPI prime. At the moment my m... | |
| Move your sub @contuzzitrue, the phase adjustment does add delay but it has always worked for me. my typical method is to reverse polarity on the sub and take an RTA measurement using uncorrelated pink noise. It is easy to spot the main speaker's roll-off fre... | |
| Move your sub Proper sub integration starts with the room position that gives the smoothest response as measured at the listening position. For my sub it happened to be just outside one of room corners in front of me. From there you can adjust continuous phas... | |
| lush cartridge under $1500 used(?) unorthodox response but well under budget and worth the wait-get a used dynavector dv20X2L - send it to soundsmith retippers for the ruby cantilever ($350). the sound is lush, detailed and extremely dynamic. incredible. | |
| New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix? you may have a system synergy issue (bright amp + bright speakers) especially since each are new and not close to being burned in / broken in. each should start sounding smoother over time- could take a year or so (seriously). however- your setu... | |
| Which speakers do I pick and are they close in quality As a dedicated lover of the Harbeth sound you really should get them. They sound great with all types of music and live up to their reputation. Holding their value is also a plus- keep them looking mint and save all your packaging and boxes. | |
| Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints.. I just measured my CMII from the volume knob on the front to the point where the end of a connected interconnect cable could bend out of the way at the back and it is 18" . If you can use hole saw etc. to create openings for the cables that would... | |
| Pro-Ject Tube Box DS Phono Pre Settings for Sumiko Bluepoint #2 cart? your cartridge is a high output moving coil. set all of the jumpers per the recommendations in the manual for the example of the ortofon x5 mc cartridge, e.g 50 db gain and each of the input capacitance jumpers, 220pf and 100pf. since it is a du... | |
| Static Electricity on Vinyl i clean all of my new lps with a record dr V machine and put them into new mofi sleeves. static is never an issue from then on. the record dr V is relatively inexpensive (200 bucks) and very easy to use. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @lancelock did you run the ART9 on the scout?if so it would be interesting to hear how the sound changed mounted to the Technics. thanks. | |
| Thing of upgrading the Soundsmith Carmen II definitely broken in then! I have had the ART9 for nearly a year and it is a very nice sounding cartridge- much better than my 2M Black and Dynavector DV20X2L. If I were to upgrade it would be to a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC star or Lyra Delos. | |
| Goldenear Reference Vs. Focal Sopra #2.....pocket the $5k difference and don't look back? don't get the GE or Focal love. listen to some different speakers before you make a decision. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G consider the VPI prime. | |
| Replace 2M Black or new phono? do you have your speakers set up properly and a listening position that is in relationship to the speakers and the room? if you are truly new to the 2-channel audio game then you should research this area and begin there,the reason I ask is that ... |
