| Need your thoughts - LTA 40+ vs Pathos Inpol Integrated amp on 98db speakers. To me this is a no brainer—you can get a David Berning designed amp that is bulletproof, lightweight, will run forever on a set of tubes, and is made right here in the USA or take a chance on an exotic Italian unit of questionable pedigree and per... | |
| My Amp is good but probably the weak point You have a nice amp I would look elsewhere to significantly upgrade, namely your speakers. You have way more power than they need so have lots of options. Not a big fan of Klipsch designs. If you love them great then maybe a tube amp will give the... | |
| Charisma Audio Cartridges @mgw Thanks for chiming in and reviving this thread. Let us know how things progress after break in. I’ve since moved my Signature One over to a Pure Fidelity Harmony with an Origin Live Conqueror. Interesting to compare the two tables by keeping ... | |
| Blue Note Tone Poet Series Wow, I've got at least two dozen of these purchased either at the local record store or through Elusive Disc and everyone is perfect. Flat, clean, low noise. These are some of the best jazz reissues out there IMHO. | |
| Downward firing speaker port and domestic issues Not sure whether a down firing port will bother your neighbor more or less than a front or rear facing port or a sealed box—probably makes little difference relative to the overall bass output of the speaker. The more air the speaker moves the mor... | |
| Where to buy vinyl? Does he live nearby? If so, the best gift you can give him might be to make a date to go to the nearest record store and then guide him thru the selection of 30 LPs. You can teach him what you know about condition, different pressings, reissues, e... | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System I remember being unimpressed by the big VAC/Vonschweickert system at CAF a few years back. I think it probably pushed $1 million or some crazy amount but to me the sound was just “big” that’s all—didn’t sound like music just very dynamic HiFi. | |
| Another dedicated circuit question Trying to parse from this thread so will pose a question which I hope is sufficiently related so as not to hijack. I am building a dedicated room over the garage from scratch—only drawings at the moment of a new structure. I plan to install a sub ... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable @badgerdms The new motor comes with the cable hard wired and the lead attaches to the new speed control unit. It is an easy swap. The more I listen the more sonic benefits of the Conductor become apparent. It does make a difference and also signif... | |
| Out building for sound. The dream ver$e$ reality I've been deep into this for a few months now planning my own dedicated listening room from scratch. One thing I've come to appreciate is that you need to establish your goal: Is it to create a good sounding room or to keep the noise in the room f... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? When you think of technological advancements within the realm of dynamic speakers I don't think much has happened of consequence. Yes, drivers and crossover components have undergone technological transformation over the past several decades but t... | |
| What should be mandatory in every professional published review- If the word "mandatory" is freaking people out how about each publication developing its own "template" that their stable of reviewers would adhere to in order to insure some continuity and comprehensiveness to formally reviewed products. If I wer... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable @lewm There is no sensor feedback to the motor. The Conductor uses a sophisticated quartz lock control over the motor and the flywheel effect of the thick delrin platter and stainless steel/aluminum sub platter driven by two belts is designed to m... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable For those interested in learning more the latest issue of Stereophile features an in-depth review of the Harmony with the new Conductor speed control unit. The review describes the engineering and build quality well and pretty much takes a shotgun... | |
| Review: Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable Yes, the motor is replaced as part of the retrofit. However, the motor looks similar to the one it replaces. |
