| Sonus Faber Finish Maintenace I think staying AWAY from wax’s and the like is important. The SF’s are finished in a VERY high gloss...ANY ( and I do mean ANY) minor grit will mar the finish! Always use a microfiber cloth and I believe best to have it dry and obviously clean. T... | |
| Adding sub to Sonus Faver Guarneri Evolutions...need advice where to set crossover on sub Your OP question is very difficult to answer. I would suggest bringing in the sub at about 50Hz. This is where the SF's tend to get a little weak. However, the room plays such a large part, that experimentation ( and lots of it) is the word of the... | |
| Etna or Atlas for Superscout? Yesterday, I was discussing with my local Lyra dealer the pricing of the Lyra cartridges. The Etna is now $9K and the Atlas is $12K...while the Delos is $2K. The dealer told me that the Etna was easily worth the price increase due to the cartridge... | |
| Etna or Atlas for Superscout? It seems that Lyra have increased their prices across the board...with the top models moving up more! I suspect this may be due to a possible introduction of a replacement for the Skala...which would need to be positioned away from the Kleos and y... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table dhcod, that's an interesting story...OTOH with the money spent on the various TT's, could you not have upgraded your LP12? While I like the Thorens, it is not IMHO, in the same league as a full spec LP12 SE.As usual, many here are comparing older ... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table hal253, IMO, the Cirkus kit makes one of the biggest improvements. The new bearing is a lot quieter and this really helps the SQ. The new Kore or Keel is most of the way to a Cirkus kit... I believe you can now buy the bearing by itself and be bas... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table zavato, I would suggest a move up to the Radikal D. That is the preferred Linn route as to upgrades...and before a cartridge upgrade. Personally, I think the Radikal D is a superb upgrade and does transform the table. As to a new cart, I am in the... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table Hal253, I have heard most of the SOTA's in their line. They are a good table and would be an excellent choice, IF you didn't already have a platform that is as great as it is. I think a top flite Linn Klimax SE can still out point all of the SOTA'... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought missioncoonery, I hope you still have your Linn LP12, as I would be very pleased to take it off your hands, LOL. | |
| Lyra Kleos Repair You guys are missing the point...the specially trained 'pixie' has to work on the cartridge and only he ( maybe a she..??, but I highly doubt it) can do this intricate and complex work. The whole reason that Lyra's are so costly ( to some) is beca... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table hal 253, I think that it is clear now on the forums that there are a number of people who like to Linn bash. These same people have likely never even heard the entry level LP12 Majik version, never mind the Akurate or Klimax version. However, that... | |
| Lyra Kleos Repair mdp, thanks for posting that...I'm now far less interested in a Lyra, LOL. | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table Once again, a lot of opinions on how the LP12 sounds from those who have clearly NEVER heard a top flite LP12 Radikal D Klimax!Anyone who says Linn tables have "inherent colorations" and would suggest a VPI or Clearaudio over a top elite LP12 IMHO... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Kyomi audio, thanks for bringing us up to speed. Couple of questions...1) what is the warranty on the Jadis amps...as you may remember, they were not the paragon of reliability in the old days.:0)..and 2) Any idea as to how much heat the new Jadis... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? I think the new versions of the Jadis JA30 mk2 amps with the KT150’s are probably very different from the older models. The main reason that I posted the OP was because an a’phile friend told me that these new amps are not only the sweet spot of t... |
