| Installing cartr.:slide it all the way to front? Hi Doug, I'm familiar with sound reproduction through vinyl, but was never interested in technical questions like how to install a tonearm correctly, but now I am! Why do tonearm manufacturers specify a pivot-to-spindle distance for each arm they ... | |
| Installing cartr.:slide it all the way to front? But if the cartridge can't be moved inside the shell, or it's a SPU type of cartridge, how can one get both the pivot-to-spindle distance and overhang right? Sometimes you have to move the whole tonearm, but that would be a violation to the rule t... | |
| 9", 10" or 12" tonearm? So in general it is not true that 9" arms are more agile and dynamic sounding than 12" arms and that 12" arms are slower and more colored sounding (with emphasis towards midbass and bass)? I've seen that some audiophiles are using the SME 3012 + S... | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? Gadfly: to be fair I'm not sure whether analog is better than digital. These are two different modalities so comparing them is like comparing apples with pears. I think both have their strengths and weaknesses. It is also not very logical to striv... | |
| Was your first cartridge relatively expensive? The Denon DL-103 is a very fairly priced cartridge. It is also capable of giving very satisfactory sonic results. But it is not a beginners cartridge, because it can sound good only with heavy and very heavy arms. These arms are not so common nowa... | |
| Finally Lurked for 2 years, then bought......Rega Congratulations Joe! After 12 years I'm spinning vinyl again. It is still miraculous how vinyl can sound. The matter whether vinyl is better than digital isn't solved yet, because I think analog and digital are two different media with own signatu... | |
| "oldskool" tonearms Thanx for all your responses. Raul, you have a wonderful collection of arms. It reminds me of a museum. The Museum of Modern Tonearms. What do you think of the EMT tonearm? You are not very fond of the SME Series V tonearm, aren't you? Thom, the S... | |
| Cayin - a warning It's always the same: Tube equipment: just too much hassle, unless you are a hobbyist. If you are not a hobbyist, don't even touch them. | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Why bother? Even if a reviewer says a speaker sucks, I still would take the speaker if it is musical to my ears. David Wilson is a very dedicated man. Even if his creation is flawed (which speaker isn't?), he will spend every effort to get the bes... | |
| Nuforce Hi folks, does anyone know the differences between the eAR ICEpower amps, for instance the eAR 1001, and the NuForce? Does the NuForce sound more organic and natural in comparison with the ICEpower amps? Recently Bel Canto design released an ICEpo... | |
| A tubes vs. Solid State question. The subject of this thread can be modified a bit into: solid state and single ended, low powered tube amplification. Some audiophiles, including very venerable ones from Japan (Sakuma, Kondo, Shindo) are preaching that the way of listening to musi... | |
| accuphase vs dartzeel Essentialaudio: you are right, I have to give a description of my set up in the first place. Front end: Accuphase (digital and preamp), Acoustic Reality ICEpower (with ASP1000 modules) poweramps (biamped), Dunlavy SC-V speakers. I listen mostly to... | |
| Usher Horn D-2 No, Usher has several different speakers. The D2 is their biggest (and probably greatest?). I'm very curious to how they are sounding. Where did you hear those Rob? | |
| ARC SP11 vs ARC LS22 ??? Hi Steve, I've had the LS-22. I must say it is too colored, midrange sounds bloated. There is also some upper midrange emphasis that can make music sounding harsh. I think using a tube Conrad-Johnson preamp, a better ARC preamp like the LS-25, the... |
