| 3 Cartridges Reviewed Avanti....glad my write up was helpful. To try and clarify, I guess some might consider the ART 9 a tad "polite" but my read is more "refined". It lays back just a touch but at the same time is very quick, detailed and dynamic. To me it just lacks... | |
| 3 Cartridges Reviewed Thanks, Chakster. I am not familiar with the discrepancies between the American/Euro and Japanese compliance scales. I do know that Audio Technica website specs for the ART 9 indicate a "Dynamic" compliance of 18CU and a "Static" compliance of 35C... | |

| High Pass (Brick Wall/Rumble) Filter Suggestions OK, ordered the FMOD from Harrison and will give it a try. If it works I can see whether the KAB offers better performance for a bit more scratch. Thanks as always everyone! | |
| Sarah Vaughan....Best Performances and Recordings Hey thanks guys for the nice comments about my system. I've been very fortunate to have the support of some great friends in audio and feel I am getting closer to where I want to be. The forums here have been a great support! | |
| Sarah Vaughan....Best Performances and Recordings Hey great suggestions...love this place! Tablejockey--not sure what "gizmo" you are referring to but my table is a "one off" collaboration with Mat and Harry that has some unique features.

| VPI 2nd Pivot for 3D For those seeking a more "stable" platform for their cartridge that combines all the virtues of 3D construction (non-resonant, tonal purity) and unipivot design (extended treble, lots of inner detail) you may be interested in the new VPI 10" gimba... | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions kdude66 would love to hear the details of your time with the LTA equipment in comparison with the First Watt stuff. I'm interested in the LTA stuff as well. | |
| DIY Pass Labs First Watt F5 amp impressions Anyone know if there is a version of the SIT-1 monoblocks available that will put out more watts than the production version? I'd be interested in these if there were a pair that put out 40 wpc or thereabouts.... | |
