| Linn sondek vs sme tzh21y, I am fairly certain that the problem is not with the Benz cartridge due to its design. The problem is simply because this particular cartridge is worn out...plain and simple. What you describe has to do with either a) the diamond is worn o... | |
| Linn sondek vs sme Excellent post, casaross. Only thing that I would comment on is the the RB300 arm is not in the league of the Triplanar V11iii. One of the only drawbacks to the Linn, IMHO, is the fact that one is so very limited to which arm you can mount on it (... | |
| Latest Absolute Sound I actually like the magazine. However, reading the drivel that RH just wrote about the new ML Neolith speaker is somewhat off-putting. I guess if I wanted a course in how to write with hyperbole I could read his article/review and gain a lot. Prob... | |
| Linn sondek vs sme tzh21y, when you go and listen to the LP12, do try and listen to at least a Akurate level deck with the Lingo 3 power supply. Better still, one with the current Radikal D power supply. | |
| Linn sondek vs sme abuckteoeighty, that’s fair enough. But, you spent probably more than that on the SME and then you went on to state how you like it better than your old "updated" Linn. Of course you do, but it’s not a fair comparison....No??tzh21y, tables don’t h... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? Butler, please do post as to what you find out about the price.Keith, next time i'm up at Brooks Berdan, I will try and take a listen. I'm a little concerned, as I may be selling a lot of gear to help finance the Jadis after hearing it... | |
| Linn sondek vs sme I guess I'm not much of a 'Linnie'! I have no interest in the term PRAT or for that matter 'playing the tune;. To me, the table needs to reproduce what's on the record as close to the sound of 'real' live instruments playing in an acoustic space a... | |
| Linn sondek vs sme The answer to your question depends on which model of SME and which version of the Linn.The top flite LP12 Radikal D Klimax SE is at least as competitive as any SME that I have heard, and I have heard them all. ( Personally I prefer it to even the... | |
| Jadis JA30 Mk2, how great??? I have not heard this amp. I have been told from a few friends who have, that it is incredibly good.As to MSRP, I don't know what it is. Would like to get an idea also.Jadis seems to be minimally represented here in the US...at least on the West c... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 impressions Great post casaross. Agree 100% with what you say. The issue today, is that there are far too many people who have a memory of the LP12 that they heard back in the 80's or the 90's or early 00's. These same people still think that is what the tab... | |
| To all LP12 aficionados Radikal, then new arm, then Kandid. | |
| What's a contender to an Audio Reference 5 SE? Listen to a CAT preamp and you won't think of the ARC REF 5 SE again. | |
| £15k $22k to spend on speakers...but which? Matthew, could you tell us the size/shape of your room...and whether you plan on using room acoustic treatments. The room size/shape is very important in deciding on a particular speaker. | |
| Ringing from the tweeter Actusreus, your problem is most likely stemming from your tube preamp. I noticed with my CAT ( tubed preamp) that depending on the tube, there can be noise from the tweeter IF the tube is at all microphonic. Just because you acquired new tubes, un... | |
| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP I own a very late 80's Linn plinth...that's all that is left of my original table. To that I have added a Cirkus/Kore and a Radikal D power supply, a Tramp 2 base and new springs, etc. The arm is a custom WTA Black arm with VDH internal wiring. I ... |
