| Should the power be off every time changing cables? Wish I had read this thread a few months back. A couple of weeks ago, I was having a problem with my left mono block tube amp...no sound. So, I switched in my ss tube stereo amp ( which I run off my second output from my preamp). I had switched of... | |
| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? @zipost Unfortunately, I think choosing a cartridge is the most difficult thing in this hobby, I started a thread somewhere on the web about exactly this....due to the inability of one to actually hear the design before purchase. Some folks real... | |
| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? @zipost keeping in mind that what I look for in a cartridge and what my preference is in music are probably totally different to what you prefer...I would say that all of those cartridges are good. The order is going to depend on what is your pref... | |
| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? @zipost The reply you received is exactly why I opted for one of Jonathan's designs. IMHO, his designs are far more advanced than just about anyone out there. For example, the old motor design of Koetsu's, VDH's and Kiseki's etc is really no lon... | |
| OMG CAT has a web page!! @jsautter You bring up a very good point. Here’s hoping that the long term viability of the company is secure, because the new business partner is certainly making some decisions appearing to be sensible...and not! | |
| OMG CAT has a web page!! @jsautter Presumably ( hopefully) the price increases are in line with the demand! Otherwise, I would totally agree with you. | |
| OMG CAT has a web page!! @imhififan Ok, I liked your prior post, it was just what we needed on a slow night, LOL. | |
| REL subwoofer using only red cable not yellow per REL technical dept I am under the impression that if you use two REL subs and hook them up to mono blocks...one sub per channel, you should sum the red and yellow wires together and attach the pair to the positive terminal and the black wire would go to the negative... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE The question that I always have is this...how many times is a so called ’upgrade’ truly what it purports to be? If we are to believe everyone in this industry, all upgrades are always a step forward...yet IME, that has not always been the case. OT... | |
| OMG CAT has a web page!! @jakestevens You are very welcome. Here's hoping that you and your dad will get a lot more recognition and business from the new web page. Happy New Year. | |

| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? I think the factor of magnet strength has more to do with the design aspect of the cartridge motor...and possibly how quickly the coils will react to the signal. Personally, I think the trend to ever lower output cartridges is a negative aspect wh... | |
| OMG CAT has a web page!! @imhififan Wow, you shelled your preamp..that must have taken some doing as I think the shell is pretty thick..what did you use, garden shears, pliers??Sorry, just couldn't resist...;0) | |
| OMG CAT has a web page!! @clearthink If you understood how 'old school' Ken Stevens is when it comes to these matters, you would understand how much of a big deal it is. The company has been making what myself and many others consider SOTA gear for years now..but they ha... | |
| Need help with speaker wire connection to ARC Classic 60 I had the same issue when I owned an ARC D70Mk2...which was a truly great amp. The solution for me was to have the speaker cable company add small spades at the amp end ( most can do this with no problem).Do NOT snap off the fins or try and bend t... |
