| Low Watt Solid State Amp I like bi-polar transistors, but only if they are medicated. | |
| Replacing Lyra Kleos at end of its life need suggestions as to what next? Please define "end of life" as it pertains to the cartridge. If it is only a worn stylus, Soundsmith can replace it with a new one of similar or better profile. I have a Clavis DC in the hands of Soundsmith for repair as I write this. | |
| AT OC9/II vs AT OC9/III @dodgealum Thanks for the link to your comparison. I'm reconsidering several options. Your observations are quite relevant since we are using the same pre-amp and phono stage. | |
| Groove Glide. Yeah, nay or maybay??? I would ask Duane Goldman (The Disc Doctor). IMO, he is the authority on vinyl cleaning, and treatment of record surfaces. | |
| Soundsmith Optimized Contour Contact Line Stylus for Rebuild @rauliruegas Something has been bothering me since your first post in this thread. You claim that your Clavis DC has a boron cantilever. It might, but it wouldn’t be a stock Clavis DC. A stock Clavis DC cantilever is fabricated from a ceramic-rein... | |
| Soundsmith Optimized Contour Contact Line Stylus for Rebuild @rauliruegas Did you compare the Clavis DC with a boron cantilever to one with an OCL stylus on a ruby cantilever? | |
| Soundsmith Optimized Contour Contact Line Stylus for Rebuild I appreciate all the comments. I received the information I was hoping for. Thank you. I have heard from Soundsmith. The stylus is worn, but the suspension is OK. The stylus is OK. Not the "low rider" as I feared. So I had some choicesI hav... | |
| Tonearm Suggestions For Technics Sp15 Under 5k @chakster Thank you for proving my point. | |
| Tonearm Suggestions For Technics Sp15 Under 5k @chakster Just because the OP asked about arms doesn’t mean we shouldn't place the use of that device in the context of the implementation. After reading a number of your comments, you seem to undermine your credibility with disconnected verbosity... | |
| Tonearm Suggestions For Technics Sp15 Under 5k @dover Excellent. IMO, there are a LOT of table / arm combos for less than $5000 NEW, much less on the used market. @chakster Your suggestions are performance / quality mismatches. On that particular table, a better Jelco arm would be most satisfa... | |
| Cartridge upgrade from Benz Micro Silver OC9/II | |
| Soundsmith Optimized Contour Contact Line Stylus for Rebuild I was able to read the substance and context of the comments, raul. No misunderstanding from my perspective. I was not necessarily asking about the Lyra cart, but the question was of a more general nature. It's one thing to read marketing info,... | |
| Phono stage hum As noted above, the hum is isolated to the Manley, not the other units. Both channels. The most likely common point between the two channels is the power supply in the Manley. It could be a cap in the power supply or a different defective componen... | |
| Cartridge upgrade from Benz Micro Silver Table / arm? Phono stage? | |
| New Amps to match up with PSB T3 speakers I have been using Herron Audio M-1 amps. Very pleased with their performance. My speakers run a minimum of around 3 ohms up to over 16 ohms. I can find no audible signature or issues with the Herron amps. They are very good bottom to top and e... |
