| Linda Ronstadt: The Sound Of My Voice @barts the third is “Sentimental Reasons” listen to her sing the opening line of “When You Wish Upon a Star” or the closing line of “Goodbye” off “What’s New” what a talent! | |
| Charisma Audio Cartridges Since my OP I have had the opportunity to speak with Bernard Li at Charisma Audio and to hear his new Signature One cartridge at High Water Sound in NYC. Jeff Catalano at HWS was kind enough to set the Signature One up for me on his reference TW A... | |
| Origin Live Arm in NYC Area @millercarbon I watched the SS videos and read what Peter posted on the website. My takeaway is that azimuth matters and he wishes more tonearm designers included the ability to adjust this in their designs. He also suggests that SS does more to e... | |
| Origin Live Arm in NYC Area Appreciate the reply. The Raven is no longer offered with a continuous run. Apparently Thomas got to many back for repair when folks mishandled the cable and damaged the interface at the base of the arm—one point for the OL. However, not sure I am... | |
| Reference Full Function Tube Preamplifier +1 vinylvalet the Herron is short on the bling factor but offers reference caliber sound particularly in areas of timing, neutrality, functionality and quietness. | |
| EMT and SoundSmith Also, to what degree is "jitter" the result of the moving mass of the cartridge versus the design and quality of the tonearm and associated bearings? As @millercarbon knows, Mark Baker of Origin Live makes a strong case for his composite arm tubes... | |
| EMT and SoundSmith @pops Haven’t yet—still working out possible arm and cartridge combos for my next table. Very interested in hearing EMT and Charisma but have not had the opportunity yet. May also move up the Soundsmith line to a new ES body model above the MIMC S... | |
| EMT and SoundSmith I agree with everything @millercarbon said but wonder how many SS owners actually take Peter up on his revolutionary policy. The typical audiophile likes to change things up, not wear things out. I’m guessing most SS owners sell and move up the li... | |
| Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 Sent you a PM. Happy to chat about both, which I compared directly in my system. | |
| Linear Tube Audio I wrote this about the Ultralinear:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-linear-tube-audio-lta-ultralinear-amplifierStill cannot recommend LTA highly enough. Paired with appropriate speakers some of the best sound available in a novel desi... | |
| Phono Preamps with "balls" ? I had a Whest phonostage a while back that was very ballsy, er ah robust sounding. | |
| Are you Beethoven or Mozart? I enjoy where Mozart sounds closer to LVB—like his string trio Divertimento K.563 or the Adagio for piano or even a few of his “Haydn” quartets. When Mozart gets dark is when you see his true genius. | |
| You went from Harbeth P3's to Compact 7's, and... Had C-7s for many years—loved them. Went to Daedalus and never looked back. They do everything the Harbeths do but better—scale, dynamics, detail. Check out the Muse Studio for a small floorstander that will fill the room! | |
| Anyone compare Herron VTSP-3a and Lamm L2.1 Deluxe? Don’t know the Lamm but own the Herron. Not sure if what you are looking for is a euphonic tube sound with added warmth but you won’t get that with the Herron. You will know you are listening to tubes because of the harmonic rightness and the air ... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA @karl_desch Any updates on the Suessuro ES? @kingdombuildingcon Are you still digging the Lime? |
