| Questions for Sonus Faber owners @greycoupe Which strings are you referring to? The ones on the stand or the ones on the grill covers? | |
| Am I asking too much? Perhaps this B&M dealer really doesn't have the expertise that he needs to set up a cartridge like a Koetsu! If that is the case, he would be wise to disclose that to you...OTOH, he did say he would do it at full price, which leads me to quest... | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? A good friend of mine and a fellow a’phile brought up an interesting point when we were discussing some of the high end pricing...he simply stated it was "comical"!! I would agree with his statement in many instances in this hobby. | |
| Turned Off My Subwoofer ... And My Speakers Sound Great I also use a very small listening room. In my room, with two REL T5i’s the soundfield and extension is slightly better than with my speakers by themselves. The key I think, is to make sure you are not impacting the mains..if the mains sound better... | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? D’Agostino is a brand that I believe appeals to an a’phile who primarily is concerned with the look of the case...and not so much the total SQ. While his amps and preamps don’t seem to fall down in the SQ department anywhere, I think they can be b... | |
| Record Store Day---Drop 1 (2020) I went to my local record store for RSD and picked up the last copy they had of Hawkwind Quark LP. Didn't think they were releasing the McCartney Lp till much later...in their second phase? | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @cd318 It is pretty clear by now that you are no Linn fan. Whether you owned a Linn LP12 or not, you still insist on trying to naysay the table. You state "Linn are possibly one of the most maligned companies in audio today" ---Yes, because of fol... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @stringreen YAWN. That myth has been disillusioned decades ago...which was when you last owned an LP12. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 The varying opinions of the KT150 tube seems to be primarily dependent on whether the amp was designed to utilize the KT150 in the first place. Since the KT150 needs a more stout transformer and has to run on a higher voltage, i would question if ... | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @mre28m5 Not the way to go with regards to the Tranq, IMO. If one wants to end up with the Karousel, why blow money on the Tranq? which is NOT compatible with a Karousel. Simply better to save the money and put it towards the Karousel. According t... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc @audioquest4life Agree. Flamenco Fever is a reference level recording. Unfortunately, it is also quite rare and now very pricey! But if the price doesn't put you off, it should be in everyone's collection. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @coachpoconnor Good to hear that you acquired a nice Linn LP12.As to upgrades, the next upgrade for your table would be the bearing, going from the Cirkus to the new Karousel. The bearing is probably the most important part of the TT. | |
| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? @photomax +1. Unfortunately, like many threads about the LP12, there are always a lot of folks who have no issue with posting--total nonsense! Doesn't stop them from putting their 2 cents in nonetheless. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 What amuses me a little with the amp designer in question, is that not only does he preach that the KT150 is worse than the KT120, with no proviso that it could be in his circuit, but not others; but also the fact that he did not believe in tube r... | |
| Options for ridding records of static electricity Mijostyn, maybe stop putting words in my mouth, did I say anywhere where the guy at any Hi Fi store is an expert...or did I say, and I quote' " Linn trained professional". Please read my posts closer and not jump to conclusions. You stated that yo... |
