Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
Sabai,I have an Oyaide non filtered iec replacing the filtered iec on the EMM. That did improve dynamics slightly. And of course power conditioning & cords help. But the generation after EMM products did not sound to my liking. Then this lates... 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
It depends on the recording mostly. Soundstage is excellent. Decent height, width & depth. I wouldn't say world class but I wasn't at the recording to know. I wish there was a touch more detail and a bit more "power" behind the music. I find t... 
Subwoofer for Wilson Maxx2
I have almost the exact same room as you. Yes the speakers are much better further out in the room. I wouldn't listen to others as the Maxx rear port is a big part of why coming off the wall helps. A subwoofer will help as well. But 1st please tre... 
Subwoofer for Wilson Maxx2
My bass improved after treating for bass and I have a watchdog I don't use any more. Maxx 2s in a similar position to yours in almost the exact same size room. Went through the same thing as you. Moving out into the room gives the best mids & ...

Try room treatments 1st. 
Is it possible to transform the EMM CDSA SE?
So much talk but no one being specific. I would love to hear what you all have tried. I have mine on stillpoints which in turn is suspended on a spring based plinth on a nice 200 lb rack. Sound is quite good. I also use a nice after market power c... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Vertigo,I have no experience w. a Lenco or any of the direct drive tables now in fashion. In that regard I will divert to you for how that will affect your overall sound. But...funny to read your post above, you are almost spot on in your differen... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Vertigo,TW arm w. MC2 Finish, and Schroeder SQ w. Titan i (but the setup is critical). These 2 are believe it or not close in sound (neither on the same arm will sound that close) and are what I consider fairly neutral.I did love my Koetsu Jade w.... 
A $300-$400 turntable tweak
A long thread. Took me time to read it. I just want to make a note that I have a few outer rings. I have the Kenwood outer ring which weighs about 1.3 kg and a RSR outer ring which if I remember right weighs 330 gms. What I have discovered is that... 
Schroder sq and the new talea
Vertigo,I doubt any of the arms would be better than your Breuer w. Allaerts combination for what they do best. I owned that match and that is one of the great combinations. Only difference is I went up the Allaerts tree. But... the MC1b mk2 is gr...

Great amps. Enjoy. 
TW-Acustic Arm
Paul,Want to try the XV1s on it one day. That should be incredible. I am thinking to move the Titan i over to give a try shortly. Off season is around the corner so I might have the time. It is just the SQ is such a pain to setup and I don't want ... 
TW-Acustic Arm
Yes the arm is very enjoyable. I love it for many reasons but believe it or not primarily because it works perfectly with my Lift that automatically lifts it at the end of the LP. Mates perfectly w. the Allaerts MC2 Finish. No reason to play with ... 
Schröder Tonearm
Yes you are the messenger of what I don't know.

Nothing special. Just more into Wiggles & Work these days. Lots of great sound out there.
