| Questionable service at Soundsmith Unfortunately my story coincides with the OP. My Lyra has been with SS for thirteen months. I know that Peter has had serious family troubles during that time, but I am approaching the point of calling my cartridge home. If SS does complete the... | |
| OK...I've ditched my mono cartridge I wouldn’t claim that the AT 33MONO is the last word in mono cartridges, but for me the things that it does well with mono LPs outweigh its shortcomings relative to the excellent stereo cartridges playing mono that I’ve compared it to(AT ART7, Ort... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Iggy Pop-- Post Pop Depression. His and Josh Homme's best LP in many years. A serious contender for best of 2016. | |
| Rubidium Clock The K-01X manual specifies the BNC clock input as 75 ohm impedance. I can't speak to other Esoteric products. | |
| Rubidium Clock There are many relatively inexpensive scientific instrument versions with 50 ohm outputs. I could find none with a 75 ohm output, as needed for optimal impedance match with 75 ohm digital audio input as used on the Esoterics. Through a web search ... | |
| Antelope 10MX Rubidium Atomic Clock vs S.S 10M Rubidium Audio Clock I had a strong sense of across-the-board improvements with the SRS clock into the K-01X early in break-in of both units. Now that break-in is finished I’ll spend a few days with the clock in and out and return with impressions. That said, I think ... | |
| Antelope 10MX Rubidium Atomic Clock vs S.S 10M Rubidium Audio Clock I doubt you’ll find anyone who has compared these two units. I use the SRS PERF-10 with a Hynes Linear PS into an Esoteric K-01X.--If you can believe factory specs, SRS has significantly lower phase noise than Antelope.--SRS actually builds the ru... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge smctigue1, I have an ART7 that I compared awhile back to my NOS AT20SS. The ART7 was better: more refined treble, fuller-bodied midrange and LF, and generally more natural. I would assume the same for the ART9. | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm HW, sorry if I over-reached. Assuming that there have been continuous improvements that eliminate the problem, I would think owners would want more information on the range of serial numbers affected. Also, heat, cold, and sun can be "normal cond... | |
| "Cracked Rear View" Those two albums are JH’s grand slam, but Slow Turning is seminal as a turning point off the booze.I was gonna get up off that bar stool Just as soon as I could figure it out Why I was overlooked at the car pool Stood up at the dance with no twist... | |
| Need help and advice on a VPI 3D arm Nice that HW chimed in, but you are all too generous. The 3D twists like a Takata airbag. | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? The 22Mhz master clock in the K-01X synchronizes to the PERF-10 at 10Mhz, and all other frequencies are derived within the CDP.You don't need a G-02. If you purchase a Perf-10, get it with the optional 12Vdc power port for use with an outboard li... | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? The selectable upsampling and filtering options apply to both RBCD and SACD from the transport. My opinion of these options has evolved through the break-in process. After extended break-in is I gravitate toward RBCD upsampled to unfiltered DSD a... | |
| Esoteric K-01X or K-03X?? That’s a VG price for a K-01X. I doubt that your friend’s unit is nearly broken in. It took 1000+ hours for mine to come fully on song; after break-in it compares favorably to vinyl. If you do buy it, sell the G-03X clock and purchase a Stanford R... | |
| Andy Summers I missed much of his post-Police work, but caught up with the Circa Zero/Circus Hero(2014) LP. He's still going strong. |
