| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! lewm, having heard the MP1 with a Ortofon A90, I guess it depends on what you call "no significant noise penalty"!Sweeping generalizations without having done the actual work to support them...oh, please!!! | |
| What's happened to the used high end market recently?? Sales are tough....:0( Some great replies so far. Particularly interesting points about the trends of the new generation. Personally, I very much hope that HEA will NOT be going the way that akaim8 states. OTOH, the one thing that does strike me as a MAJOR problem for H... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! Raul, you need to calm down a little.. :0(plus, it would probably help if you weren’t attempting to read into my post things that weren’t there. For instance, nowhere do I say that there are NO solid state phono stages that cannot work with flea o... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! I can think of no tube phono stages that will work well with a cartridge that has between 0.125 and 0.2 Mv of output. The age old argument has been that the less wire the less loss. IMHO, that is a bogus argument. What is lost by the necessity to ... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! Saw this release. Unfortunately the designers seem to be slow learners! This cartridge, like all of the other models in their upper ranges has basically zip for output! At some point, I am hopeful that the realization that this type of flea output... | |
| Y No YG ? I think YG’s are a superb speaker. Some of their older first rung models leaved a lot to be desired, but the new models are all pretty fantastic, IMHO.No flea powered amps need apply, and one had better get the upstream gear singing, otherwise the... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale invictus005, have you been looking at what other manufacturer’s are charging in this hobby?? There are numerous tables out there that are far more expensive than a fully outfitted Linn. Many of these TT's fail to hold a candle to the SQ of the Lin... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 6 vs Jeff Rowland 625 The model 6 was an excellent amp, but so is your 625. I would look elsewhere for weakness in your system to upgrade.If you think everything else is great, I would do as tdimler suggested above. | |
| Tube amps and heat Interesting thread. This subject...heat..is one that many a'philes should consider before purchasing the tube amp with multiple power tubes, IMO.BTW, BAT is one of the worst offenders in this regard with their tube amps. ( Not saying their ss amps... | |
| KT120 back to 6550 Lalitk, I believe the KT150 requires a higher draw, as such it can damage the transformer if that is not up to the task. Presumably, the transformer in the VT80 can handle the draw like in the VT80SE? | |
| KT120 back to 6550 Tommuch, I see that the VT80 can apparently run with KT150’s. What is odd is that the newer VT80SE includes the KT150’s, and so I’m not sure what is the difference between the 80 and the 80 SE?? | |
| KT120 back to 6550 lalitk, I would suggest checking with ARC first before rolling in the KT120's and particularly the KT150's. I would be surprised if they told you that your VT-80 was compatible with these tubes. Best to get ARC's blessing before you damage your amp. | |
| KT120 back to 6550 I believe that if an amp can work well with 6550's and can also accommodate KT120's...then the KT120's would be the superior tube in that amp. However, the big question is whether the amp can actually support KT120's without damage...as most that ... | |
| Sonus Faber EA II If you find your speakers lacking in the very high end, this is something that would in the long run be frustrating. For some time, I listened to titanium domes, which i thought were good, but only when I replaced my speakers ( coincidentally with... | |
| TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever. Txh21y, please do enlighten us at to what you heard when you heard a totally maxed out Linn. What did that consist Of?Even a LP12 Akurate with the new Lingo 4 will display far superior SQ than a 1200 G. Why, for the simple reason that the isolatio... |
