| JC3+ With Kleos SL? Sorry, to be clear, I heard a lot more noise through the system as the gain was turned up...in my books that equates to distortion. As the system was asked to amplify the signal, the noise increased tremendously as it began to max out on the gain.... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? @robbob, since you had already made up your mind, I'm not understanding the point of your OP??If the phono stage is working too hard to amplify the signal, you will get distortion...unless you are going to be happy with a very low output from your... | |
| JC3+ With Kleos SL? I wouldn’t go that route, what minimal increases you are likely to gain with the lower output SL, you will almost certainly lose with pushing the phono stage into potential distortion. Probably depends on how much gain you enjoy listening at, but ... | |
| The quest for the hot stamper or is it a myth @bdp24 Funny how what you observed is fairly common even today. There are a bunch of folks who are self proclaimed ‘experts’, who are using very ...shall we say...’marginal systems’ to determine the value of their findings. Having stated that, I t... | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @xagwell The Radikal increases the speed accuracy and timing over the Lingo. IME, speed accuracy is going to be more audible than what a better cartridge brings. YMMV. | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenitecity. Great post, and so very true. What you heard was a culmination of the various pieces of gear and the room/ your mood at the time. Would this hold for your current room and gear...who knows? When I heard the Palmer, ( on two differen... | |
| linn sondek tt Finally, we have a disclosure that one of the naysayers has never heard the table, but that doesn’t stop him from putting his two cents in...er,is that the definition of a troll!Pity that the others who have never heard the table in a proper setti... | |
| Delos bottoming out anybody else experience this? @tzh21y All handmade cartridges are subject to variability and possible suspension issues. Therefore, you are probably correct, it has almost certainly happened to Lyra’s before...but that can be said for all handmade cartridges. | |
| linn sondek tt @syntax. We are supposed to believe that Linn sold thousands of their turntable, simply due to excellent marketing!... According to you..no one that bought the rig was able to hear well enough to determine that is was faulty and therefore they wer... | |
| linn sondek tt Some people love the Bose sound. When it comes to tables, I don’t think that anyone is going to spend that kind of money on a high priced table, unless it delivers. YMMV | |
| linn sondek tt Do you guys seriously believe that if the LP12 wasn’t a great sounding table that it would have garnered the success it has? | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @latenitecity There is a variable here that occurs to me. If you are happy with the sound of the Origami vs the Ekos SE, then I would still go with the Linn platform. However, here is the one thing that I somewhat dislike about the LP12...it locks... | |
| linn sondek tt @tzh21y So you heard the LP12 with an all Linn system and then came home and preferred your Scout! Really that is no big surprise to any Linn table adherent! While we think extremely highly of the table, the same cannot be said for the Linn ancill... | |
| Delos bottoming out anybody else experience this? @slaw Why would you state that Lyra doesn’t stand behind its products?...actually in the US Lyra is handled by Audioquest.Everything that we have seen so far in this thread points to exactly the opposite. | |
| Radikal Linn LP12 or Palmer 2.5? @xagwell The Linn protocol is to upgrade from the inside out...so the power supply first, then the sub chassis then the arm and cartridge last.I replaced my Valhalla with the Radikal D...a huge upgrade! But here’s the thing, like many large improv... |
