| Garrard 301 - Project @lewm Dover, I own the old QS preamp that has a built in MM phono stage, along with its linestage, Yes - that's the one I'm talking about. In hindsight it may have been the power supply feeds to the tubes that had some design foibles that we... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Do you find that your preference for Telefunken or Mullard shifts depending on the type of music you’re listening to or is it the system’s overall tonal balance? No. I listen to mostly Jazz & Classical. My preferences are for maximum speed... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project TFK ECC83s are so "legendary" for their "tonal richness" No they are not. Exact opposite - in the Marantz 7 circuit they are fast, reasonably transparent and very flat. I have a draw full of premium flat plate Telefunkins. They have never sou... | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Sovtek 12AX7LPS is indeed not a separate “variant” of the 12AX7 but rather a Sovtek-branded 12AX7 with the “LPS” designation, So for those of us who speak English as a native language, the 12AX7LPS is indeed a variant of 12AX7, whether you subs... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @mijostyn Have you managed to try out the recommended capacitive loading ( 250-300 pf ) on the Shure yet. I am interested to know the results. Re Tympanis - I had a pair traded years ago, spent more time repairing them than listening. Fortunate... | |
| Does Anyone Know the History of the Early Sota Turntables? Do you remember what they used on the Gen 1 table then? A rubber mat? This one came with a felt one but I fitted it with a rubber and cork one I had available. Depends what you call Gen 1. IIRC the original mat was acrylic. Definit... | |
| Does anyone have experience matching an Icon PS1 MKII with a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star? @flash56 Both the suggestions by @tablejockey are good options. Manley Chinook & Zesto Andros. I've listened to the Andros for a couple of years with a variety of cartridges - it's very good. musical and underrated in my opinion. | |
| Does anyone have experience matching an Icon PS1 MKII with a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star? @lewm You are muddying the waters again. The Icon PS1 MM input is 47k and an external SUT 1/10 will load the cartridge correctly. All you are doing is confusing the person who started the thread with your hypothetical postulation. | |
| Does anyone have experience matching an Icon PS1 MKII with a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star? @flash56 You have 2 easy options - If you purchase the Icon PS1 you would need to buy a SUT wth 1/10 step up ratio and plug it into the MM input. There are plenty of vintage units such as Denon AU320 or Denon AU340 that will do the job. Altern... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL V15 v Hyperion v Atlas. Chevy Vega v Lexus SUV v. Bentley I guess the V15 must be the Lexus based on build quality and consistency. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL look what is garbage is what you posted and that you did not read slowly through my posts where I said: " those numbers shows electrically FR.." and " Electrically this is the FR response loaded at 22K... " @rauliruegas I actually did read yo... | |
| Does anyone have experience matching an Icon PS1 MKII with a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star? Music Direct are misinforming you. Loading the Soundsmith cartridge below the recommended 470ohms load will result in awful sound. You need to find another phono. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL @rauliruegas @lewm Your recommendations on loaiding and capacitance are garbage. According to independent measurements of the Shure V15vmr in High Fidelity Magazine in 1984 ( unfortunately I can't post pictures ) the frequency response at the l... | |
| Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable The 750 is still better than the others you mention. The Nordost is hifi sounding, thin and bright. | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL atmasphere 11,760 posts 10-05-2024 at 07:53am @mijostyn Yeah, Shure claimed 1.2 gr was OK, but IME it isn't. Disagree. I ran Shure V15vmr and V15vxmr at 1.15g which was the optimum in both an Eminent Technology ET2 and Dynavector 501. T... |
