| Stereovox LSP-600c and Merlin? Thanks everyone. I actually ended going with the Stealth Hybrid MLT speaker cables. I liked the improvements in my system with the Stealth Hyperphono and Metacarbon cables so when a good deal came up I thought I'd at least give it a try.I'm very h... | |
| Has anyone upgraded your merlins to lead free? Yes, had my VSM's upgraded to MXe's some time ago. Being "relatively" close to the Merlin plant, my wife and I got a tour out of it as we drove them there and picked them up. Bobby's a great guy, (as everyone with Merlin's knows), and it was fun t... | |
| Cartridges - what have you owned and your opinion Lets see, I haven't used anywhere near as many carts as most of you but I've had a Rega Exact which I used briefly until I picked up a phono stage capable of handling LOMC's.I then got a good price on a Dynavector Karat 17D2 MKII. I liked it but i... | |
| New Ortophon Tonearms? I have an Ortofon AS-309s with an Ortofon Jubilee on my Raven AC and I really like it. I'm also using a Dynavector XV-1s on a Graham Phantom the sound is very very close. The Dyna/Phantom combo is more dynamic, bigger soundstage but we're not talk... | |
| Phono Cable Suggestions? Stealth Hyperphono. Detailed but relaxed sounding and not harsh. An excellent phono cable but not cheap. Good luck. | |
| Stealth Hybrid JR speaker cables Geared4me, congrat's on your purchase. I hope you like them. Once you try them, please let us know what you think. Cheers. | |
| Stealth Hybrid JR speaker cables "You might enjoy one cable more than another and that's a subjective issue."Of course it is, I didn't imply any different, I was merely offering my personal observations based on my preferences and system, (as per the original request)."However, a... | |
| Stealth Hybrid JR speaker cables I'll try to give you something of an answer. First, I haven't heard the Hybrid JR but I do own the Hybrid MLT so I'm going on the premise that they sound similar.I changed from Audience AU24 to Stealth Hybrid MLT's recently and the major differenc... | |
| Stereovox LSP-600c and Merlin? Thanks for the system compliments guys...Some other speaker cables I'm curious about are the Stealth Hybrid MTL (I've liked the Stealth Hyperphono and Metacarbon interconnects I added to my system and wonder how the speaker cables would be), and w... | |
| Stereovox LSP-600c and Merlin? Weird? It's on an angle from a corner of the room. I get what you're saying but it actually looks pretty normal in real life. It's just a bit of an illusion in the photo although I'm sure a dedicated room with appropriate treatments would improve ... | |
| MC phono stage without transformer? I've used LOMC phono stages both with and without transformers. My transformer experience is limited unfortunately to only the Tron Seven I currently use. That being said, having compared it to another decent transformerless LOMC stage, (Pass Labs... | |
| Feickert analogue protractor....Owners impressions Excellent tool. I would definitely buy one again. I've used it to set up my Dynavector XV-1s on my Phantom and it works like a charm, (as well as other carts on other arms). I don't know what the hell I may have been doing wrong with the Graham ji... | |
| Ortofon tonearms ,Static and Dynamic - Difference? I have been told by a dealer who has heard and used both that there is no difference sonically. Can't confirm myself because i have not heard the dynamic version but that is what I was told. Hope this helps.Bryan | |

| DRT XV1s Vs Orpheus Vs Shelter Harmony Vs 47 Labs Thanks everyone for all of the advice and opinions. After much debate I decided to go with the Dynavector DRT XV-1s. Should arrive shortly and we'll see how it is. Thanks again.Bryan |
