| single driver speakers An easy entry to single driver is available at Madisound. The Markaudio Alpair 7 mounted in a recommended "Pensil" enclosure can provide a peek at the potential of single driver systems. The enclosures are easy to build and inexpensive using 3/4" ... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? My Herron Audio M1 amps are on 24/7 unless I'm away for more than a couple of days. | |
| AT OC9/II vs AT OC9/III dodgealum - Are you still running the ART9? | |
| AT OC9/II vs AT OC9/III tooblue, I spent a long time trying to get the CdC set up. It was consistently too lean. I understand that the later generations of Lyra cartridges were much better.But that's not particular to the question. | |
| VPI ADS Versus SDS I don't miss the point, and you didn't READ my comment. MY OPINION is that speed stability is about off-centered spindle holes, not A/C frequency. I am very sensitive to pitch fluctuations and only experience them with off-center spindle holes. | |
| Turntable system The Classic 1 is a massive upgrade over the Rega. If you are getting a good deal on the VPI, start investigating how to sell your Rega. The Ikeda 9TT is a low output mc cart and will need some kind of signal boost or just use your current cartr... | |
| VPI ADS Versus SDS In my experienced opinion....I have never really understood the need for an SDS or other similar type of device. The only REAL reason for such a device is to reduce the voltage to the motor during record play. That can be easily achieved using... | |
| Moving from MM to MC Though the DL-103 is a good mc cartridge, it is a mismatch for your system. The output is too low to properly match with the phono input in your preamp. Denon makes a couple of very good performing mc cartridges that would have similar output as... | |
| What is meant when someone says a component is lacking soul IMO, "lacking soul" means flat or blurred dynamics possibly accompanied by alack of transparency and / or harmonic detail.True musical detail is most often a matter of electronics that possess very accurate timing. | |
| VPI ADS Versus SDS Dodgealum - I have not heard the ADS, but "reports" from those I trust indicate the best thing you can do is to keep your SDS. Give VPI some serious time to work out the bugs. I'm seriously softening the comments I've heard. | |
| Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage? uber - I also own a Herron VTPH-2a and am more than satisfied. But impedance matching is critical at every point in the chain. I'm using all Herron Audio equipment, so it doesn't make any difference for me.My suggestion is to call Keith Herron a... | |
| Would you change your amp selection knowing...? I would change my amp selection to favor a designer that actually knows what they're doing. If they are clueless enough to design an amp that would go into oscillation under a cap load, then they aren't worth owning, don't qualify in the marketpl... | |
| Ripped off, any ideas? Do you know any members of the Corleone family? Do you have a trustworthy Godfather? | |
| Pick A Tube Phono Preamp, but not just any Tube Phono Preamp I might suggest that you give Keith Herron a call. I have found him most engaging. Maybe start talking pricing options. What's the worst he could say? | |
| Which preamp for a pass labs? My OPINION.... Even if electronics are fully balanced from end-to-end, it doesn't matter. The "balanced" effect is all myth and hype. Noise is NOT appreciably reduced since it is in the system REGARDLESS of the design of the interconnects. It ... |
