| from ARC to Pass ? so, first answer is:Pass X2 better than ARC LS25/II (in the opinion of jl35's friend, it's understood).ok, thanks.I've read many comments about the X150.5 power amp, and they all told about a very good amp, but I did not find comparisons with my v... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. I like her voice but I mistook her name (see my post above): she's obviously Kate Pierson, not Pearson*. as I'm here, I also add some other votes:Sinead O'ConnorMimi Parker (Low)Margo Timmins.*q: is the pronunciation very different or quite the sa... | |
| Most unusual/mesmerizing female voice. Lisa GerrardK.BushBjorkDiamanda Galas I may add some italian female singers, like Alice and Elisa, but I guess they're not so well known in the USAbut the one that mesmerizes me most, though not so unusual:Kate Pearsonher voice is not "uncommon" b... | |
| High frequency distortion? if it's been "great so far", and the distortion appeared only "lately", as you say, and after the troubleshooting you described, I guess it must be something related to the cartridge, namely dirt or wear. did you buy the cartridge new or used ? h... | |
| Rega Rp8 vs VPI Aries 2 Black Night Actually nothing in particular, but I'd like to try un upgrade; moreover, I'm afraid the TT is the relatively weak link of the chain: I feel both the Delos and my Klyne phonostage may deserve something better to fully express their potentiality. a... | |
| With Naim amp - Naim or Teddy Pardo PSU ? I have a Naim PSU for my CDX2 CDP and a friend of mine has a HiCap DR for his Supernait 2. I can tell both really make a difference.Don't know about Pardo, but a quite common opinion is: they are different objects, with a different "philisophy". N... | |
| Which phono preamplifier do you recommend? I own a Klyne 6PE and I think it's an option to consider, if you can find a used one (which should be under $1000, I believe). | |
| Stand out phono stages I have not enough experience to state which is the best phonostage, but I love my Klyne 6PE.if you can suggest some model that can better it under 2k$ (used is ok), you are welcome.I'm very curious about Herron and obviously Klyne series 7, but th... | |
| Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5 thanks, I've seen the Klyne on ebay -too expensive :( - and I guess Herron would be too expensive as well, even used. you must consider that shipping cost from USA are very high and then there are taxes and so on, it is generally about 25-30% more... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. I've not read the whole thread, so I may be off topic now or repeat what has already been written, sorry in case.I think specs can give us an idea on 'how it sounds' but just an idea, a hint. That's due to several reasons, going from the reliabili... | |
| Hum question OK, I'll try :) | |
| Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5 I went to visit the Herron site: as I don't see any international dealer listed (if I didn't miss it), I guess they are to be ordered directly from Herron.moreover, I saw their phono retail price is around 3600$: much, much more than my budget... :( | |
| Hum question ah, ok, Stringreen, now I undesrtand.and I must say that I already made that attempt (exactly the way you describe it, except that it's eaasier with italian plugs, which have equal prongs), unfortunately without success.thanks anyway, ciao. | |
| Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5 thanks, Lewm, but I can't seem to find it on ebay...do you have a link, please ?thanks a lotciaodaniele | |
| Yet another contender for my Klyne 6PE: ARC PH5 @Lewm: I already asked mr Klyne about upgrades (and that woukd be my first choice) but I live in Europe and shipping costs to and fro USA, together with taxes, would cost a sum comparable to that of upgrade itself, which is already not cheap. @Syn... |
