| Phono settings + Koetsu RSP The Bent TX103 step-up reduces the impedences seen by the cartridge by a large factor. This reduction depends on the amount of step-up needed. You must set your loading at the preamp at 47K. This will give you an effective load as seen by the cart... | |
| Quicksilver M-80 vs. Atma-Sphere M-50? I am a fan of OTL's. For my ears they have no peers. If your speakers have a lower impedence, simply get the 'Zero' Autoformers. | |
| Sophia Electric 845 - Any heard it? BmotorcycleI am commenting on your speakers.I just picked up the Total Victories after living with the smaller Victories. Wow!!!. Beg borrow and steal if you have to, the Totals are that good.I am going to try a few different tube amps, 845's, PX2... | |
| ZYX cartridge and advice I have a ZYX 1000 Airy, and I love it. It is as precise a transducer as I could have asked for. It plays all of my albums exactly as they where recorded, or as I percieve they where recorded. This is sometimes not good because of poor recordings, ... | |
| Please share views on Coincident MP 300B. I have just purchased a quad set of the new KR Audio 300b BXLS's.Upon first listen this tube is incredible. The bass is as tight as I could want and the highs go to points I didn't know I could hear.I will give you a follow up in the near future. | |
| Tenor amp / Coincident Total Victory combo I just purchased a quad of the new run of KR Audio 300b BXLS's.This is a stunning tube upon first listen. As much bass as my ProAc Response 2 has ever put out, and highs that I didn't know I could hear. I have only listened to an Annie Lennox CD s... | |

| Tenor amp / Coincident Total Victory combo Onhwy61 and SbankThank you for your responses.You are both absolutely correct. How good can great get. If the Coincident amps where designed for those speakers, what am I looking for.I think this describes my neurosis which is Audiophilia.Case in ... | |
| Please share views on Coincident MP 300B. I have now lived with these amps for some 6 months. I choose them on Isreal Blume's recommendation over the ASL 1009's. I did not disaggree with his recommendation because the amp does sound great. My initial feeling was that they only sounded pre... | |
| Anyone heard the new Tenor 150 Hybrids yet? This past weekend I attended the Montreal Festival Son & L'image. CESMy Girlfriend up until then thought my obsession with reproduced sound overpriced, though enjoyable.After she heard the 150hp my obsession became hers. She now understands. S... | |
| Best Tonearm match for ZYX Airy 1000X I have just returned from Applause Audio here in Toronto. Rob has Graham, SME, Origin Live, Rega and other arms in his store. He seams to love the RS Labs Uni-pivot arm best. It is also less expensive than most of the others.Does anyone have any i... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! This is a silly response.One day my wife moved my EAR 834P Phono Pre onto the window ledge. That afternoon I came home early and put on Stanley Jordan [Gyrodec/Zeta/Zyx1000]. I could not believe my ears. The sound was heavenly. My Proac Responce 2... | |
| $4500 amp beat out the Tenor OTL in the latest TAS Today I visited two stores which carry 'Antique Sound Labs'. Neither store seamed very interested in letting me listen to any of the products. One of them even had the more expensive [lower power] amp. Both stores made the same comment 'incredible... |
