| Are There Any Risks to Your Stylus From Using Magic Eraser ME is sooooo freaking cheap that soon as I see it getting any slight discoloration I flip to another side or simply cut a new pc.Shmutz might happen if you use the same spot over and over. | |
| Will Lyra Delos get Lambda upgrade? Would be nice..... | |
| Are There Any Risks to Your Stylus From Using Magic Eraser I have been using ME for years on all my carts, including the one in my avatar. I have never thought it was going to do any harm to my carts, as long as you go up and down ONLY. You start going sideways and dragging the stylus across the ME surfac... | |
| more gain = more dynamics or less? My goal is to add enough gain at the phono stage to match the input sensitivity of my amplifiers preamp stage. My Parasound HINT preamp input sensitivity is 300mV, so setting my Nova II gain at 56dB gets me about 320mV, close enough.This gets me v... | |
| Subwoofer insight. My only reason for not buying a REL speaker is they don't dive deep enough. Notice I said speaker not sub....My SVS SB2000 can reach below 20Hz, has nothing to do about "hearing" this, its about feel and sustain of musical passages with deep notes... | |
| Amplifier to pair with Parasound Hint I've asked Richard Schram in the past about adding an A21 to my PSound Hint and he thought the improvement would be just so so, as the Hint amp section is excellent as is.An A21 is about $2K used and the new A21+ is about $3K, so I suspect you'd h... | |
| Lyra Delos vs. Kleos? I've had the Delos since 2016, for the most part I have never looked back nor do I feel the need to. I have thought many, many times about the Kleos and I still do especially with the trade in Lyra program. But still a lot of money....and that is ... | |
| Music Hall MMF 9.3 upgrades Get the Cruise Control w/AC motor and that is a large sonic upgrade for minimal money. I have a 7.1 that I turned into a 7.3 by adding a 9cc tonearm and the Cruise Control...both of those took me up several notches. I think the ProJect arms are ve... | |
| Cartridge loading What @atmasphere writes is very much what is causing your change in sound character. Loading at the phono stage and not at the cartridge is what you should be looking for. Also what phono cable are you using and do you know its capacitance? A very... | |
| Where subwoofers are manufactured Pretty much all your electronics in your home are made overseas. Usually the design, engineering and assembly process is regulated by the US company. These companies have people usually living overseas or at least visit often to check QC, in a lot... | |
| Phonostage Recommendations for my PS Audio + Thiel setup @bighempin looking forward to your impressions. I have a MS Nova II which I really enjoy but wondering how much more I may get with the PSA Steller phono. My only issue is the gain seems on the high end for MC with 60db being lowest. Currently I r... | |
| What is the Best Tool to Measure Cartridge Azimuth? Fozy meter...... | |
| Pre-recorded Reel-to Reel tapes I have said on other sites, if someone would issue tapes of classic rock or progressive rock albums/artists at say 7.5ips......I think they would sell like hot cakes, either on 7" or 10.5" reels.Getting a really nice copy of Pink Floyd, Genesis, Y... | |
| Dynavector XX2 mk2 vs Lyra DELOS which is better? Delos is not a thin sounding cart. That is more an issue with the gear like phono stage and amplification, if you have thin sounding music also your loading.If I play music that has meat the Delos plays it, what it does is play low end with very h... | |
| Project VC-S MK II question Mine has this noise you describe, I assume it is the type of motor they are using. I will say I had to send mine back for service work and they ended up sending me a new one, which had a quieter motor.That would be my only gripe, everything else a... |
