| EAR and Shindo I have no experience with the EAR but really like the phono stage in my Shindo Masetto. Prior to the Masetto I was using a Wyetech Opal (which is a very good line stage) and Artemis PH1 which I felt was one of the best sounding phonostages in the ... | |
| Power cord for Lamm amps I am using the Lessloss cords on my ML2's. They seem to work very well providing a nice quiet background. I do not think the Lamms are overly sensitive but the sound does change between various cords as with most other equipment. | |
| High efficiency speakers I am using Reimer Tetons with my ML2's to great effect. They are full range and have a nice tight bottom end with the ML2's. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt For those looking for another color in splicing tape I got some Professional Archive splicing tape for 1" and 2" recording tape from US Recording and it is a nice shade of blue and works very well. | |
| scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5 I just ordered the AIVS 3 step process to use in conjunction with my VPI 17F. My thought was to apply the enzyme solution using a hand applicator brush, the cleaning solution via the pump and brush on the VPI and the rinse solution via a hand brus... | |
| A 9 watts SET for the Maggies, Heavenly marriage When trying an SET you may want to check out the Speltz Zero Autoformers which can effectively double, triple or quadruple the impedence of your speakers making them an easier load. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, If you try your speakers with a tube amp you may want to check out the Speltz zero autoformers. The zeros can double the impedence that your amp will see changing your 4 ohm nominal speakers to 8 ohm. | |
| More evidence that LPS are still alive The article in the cnn.com link about the resurgance in vinyl was in today's business section of the Nashville paper. The word is out. | |
| Speltz/Atma-sphere & Merlins Philjolet when you are referring to the sound of the speltz wire vs your own were you referring to using the nude transformers or when using the box. I thought using the box would more likely retain the sound of your wire as long as your wire was ... | |
| Lamm ML2.1 Tubes I prefer the Amperex 12AX7 long plate D getters in my ML2's. These seem to have the best combination of clarity and bass. I liked the midrange of the Telefunken smooth plates but theywere too light in the bass in my system. Unfortunately the Amper... | |
| SET friendly speakers w/ slam? I get pretty good slamm out of the Reimer Teton's using my Lamm 18 watt SET's. The speakers are 95db and a flat 4 ohms. Reimer says you can go down to 8 watts with these speakers not sure how that may effect slamm though. | |
| Best protractor for aligning to cantilever I recently tried buying a Wally tool. Sent him a check in November for a protractor that was in stock. He asks you to call him and remind him to ship a week later. I found that odd but did. After many weeks of calls and emails he finally called to... | |
| Galibier owners How do you like your music now? I have one of Thom's earlier designs when he and Peter Clark were partners. Thom is one of the most knowledgable people I have met regarding analog and he has been a tremedous help in improving the sound of my system. When I first visited him to h... | |
| For those using 'Holographic Mylar' as a tt drive I am using the tape that came with my TAC splicer on holographic mylar. This tape has done very good. I have had this though for 3-4 years and will soon need to buy replacement tape. I presume the tape hasn't changed but do not know for sure. | |
| Best Speaker for Wall Placement? You should check out the Guru QM10's. I heard them at RMAF and they sounded great. They are designed to be placed against the wall. |
