| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. @dover Thanks for posting ~ Great insight! | |
| Arcam Integrated Amps This sums it up rather nicely: https://www.whathifi.com/us/features/was-then-ar-cambridge-a60-1976-vs-arcam-a19-2013The original A60 was most memorable back in the day. Today, I appreciate what Exposure is doing. They seem to play well with most a... | |
| Does anyone know who makes mijostyn - There's also the DS Audio optical system. As a displacement generator, the RIAA is (not) handled differently than PL's Strain Gauge.Quite the bold statement regarding inexpensive MCs! Wish I had more experience with the Pickering, Stant... | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening Which makes me ponder if maybe the Loudness button on my old NAD 3140 back in the early '80s didn't have a buffer-amp in the circuit?There's a truth in what several are describing here, and I really appreciate Raymon's comments about convincing dy... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. Such an odd & open ended topic - I’m hesitant to participate.No one has mentioned AMG. LP12 guys should take note of their 9” versions. A very capable tonearm that is not a massive affair - excellent for suspended ‘tables like my ‘64 Swiss bui... | |
| Lyra Etna or Atlas? fsonicsmith ~ your going to be in for a treat 👍Both great pickups. Of the new Lambda series I’ve only set up an Atlas (not SL) and it was rather special in terms of extracting delicacy from the mix while analytically conveying all the texture, ton... | |
| Killer used integrated for 👍👍👍 on Exposure. Just plain musical and fun! | |
| Which Component Has the Greatest Affect on Low-Level Listening If I were to name a single component, I’d have to agree with yyzsantabarbara that a very well executed line preamp with attention paid to stable linear gain attenuation will have the most dramatic impact of fullness at ALL playback levels. | |
| Others like QRP? While RTI (and Pallas in Germany) are exceptional at both plating and pressing, I’m not aware of anyone with the complete vertical integration surrounding Chad Kassem’s QRP. | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? Yes indeed. Trouble shooting could begin on either end of your system.On the front end, see what happens when you swap right & left phono inputs. You may or may not find the answer there . . . | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? For such a simple tonearm, the Concept/Verify magnetic tonearm can be a bit tricky!Its vertical tracking force can vary wildly with vertical motion, increasing in pressure/force as the arm is raised. This is why Clearaudio supplied a super low-pro... | |
| 16 ohm speakers: any amp sounds better with more resolution. speaker cables less critical. http://www.speakerworkstulsa.comDave is the guy to ask | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? Clearaudio Satisfy or Verify?? Makes me think of a tonearm run without enough anti-skating or a turntable that’s altered its levelness.Exactly yogiboy! | |
| Ok to adjust balance to achieve center vocal image? What is the phono system? Tonearm?? | |
| Looking for feedback on moving from a 1200G to a Luxman PD151 I'd begin by placing a PD151 record mat on your 1200G after removing the Technics. |
