| More power for better sound at low volumes? Mapman, You raise an excellent point with nearfield listening. I often use to pull my chair up to within 3 ft of the speakers ( Martin Logan CLS modded at the time ) and listen nearfield. I believe it removes the room effects and you get a much la... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lewm, I've known the inventor of the mods for 25+ years and have followed the development of his system. Unfortunately there are many issues with his system outside of the turntable with which I have issues so I have to judge that particular SP10m... | |
| SME 312S versus SME V-12 The local distributor for Benz cartridges here checked out 2juki's offers recently. They were genuine, came from a friendly asian distributor who wanted to quit stock. I think this is his main business, opportunistic buying up of unwanted or surpl... | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? I concur with the 1st post, better resolution has to be an advantage at low listening levels. Lower noise floor in components is one way to improve resolution.I do note in my travels that in the US there is a tendency to overdampen rooms, and susp... | |
| Incredible new USB DAC from GOTO Unit USA Maybe he is the Goto Gopher...and proud. | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research What I dont understand in this story is :Why would anyone spend time and money sending an interconnect back and forth from the manufacturer to simply solder a connection. Any competent local technician could do the job in less than 2 minutes and p... | |
| SME 312S versus SME V-12 Gotta say that the compression joint used to attach the 312S headshell to the arm would have to be one of the best in the business, much more solid and stable than the traditional bayonet fitting. It would be quite easy to remove all the junctions... | |
| Technics SP-10 mkII speed adjustment question Lewm,"With the modification to the stator mounts, there is less energy dissipated in moving the stators, more precise speed correction by the servo, and far fewer events that trigger the servo. Everything gets even smoother than it was."But you qu... | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research "In my system I still use SR cables -- in series with cables from HiDiamond, Bybee, Cardas, ASI Liveline and Supra LoRad (as a bridge connector with Oyaide plugs/IECs) to achieve the effects I am looking for."This is precisely why you guys have so... | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? Pani - what happened to your Nouvelle Platine Verdier | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research Sabai -SR 70% trade in deal :The Lifetime Upgrade Passport Program works as follows:You receive up to 70% back on the retail value of your original SR purchase regardless of the price you paid. This applies to any Synergistic Research product, eve... | |
| The Problem with Synergistic Research Sabai, The reality is that you made the decision to spend your money, and you were obviously happy with your purchases. If you took your "outdated cables" out of the system and put them back in you would find they are still doing what they did whe... | |
| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? XPP - Colibri plastic body, platinum coils.Platinum is much more resistive than copper, so the 500 ohms is plausible.You should probably try and borrow a phono stage that has unlimited loading options eg Klyne 7, that you can try out.Alternately t... | |
| VDH Colibri XPP. Best Load impedance? Well I think your response to Atmasphere above is quite rude.You asked for advice, then proceeded to dismiss it outright.The answer to your question is - there is no best load.It may vary depending on your arm/cartridge combination and phono stage... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Hi Dgob, Which tonearm were you using with the Glanz G7, was it the Audiocraft ? |
