| How far can room treatments solve boomy bass? InpiecesThe XTZ room analyzer sounds very interesting andquite simple for the non technical dudes, like myself. In the manual it seems to want you to measure right and left speakers together.Can you measure left and right Chanel separately?Cheers | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, why would I think anything you or anybody else is getting personal. We are talking hifi not rugby league :-)Since you still have your tube pre, why don't you use the tube phono stage in it to see if you can get better performance from your ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry Todays valve gear has changed a bit from 25 years ago. Have you not heard Valin's musing of SS and tubes merging. Not quite but closer :-)Did you have the same handle of appreciation of mm's when you had your tube pre amp as you do now?I was... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Henry, you are stretching a VERY long bow linking this thread to any release of high end phono stages. Most Phobos stages have always offered mm.There are no phono stages outside of Accuphase that offer 100k loading that Raul likes.The Vitus, ARC,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi HenryYes, I believe the choice of electronics and speakers does provide the foundation over what sound you may be achieving. Do you think it does not?Yes, the epc mk4 and at25 are neutral sounding cartridges. The epcmk4 measures ruler flat and ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have never really got my MM's to sound as good as some on this thread seem to get. Whenever I brought up all things being equal I believed MM's sound better with SS and mc's with tubes. Mm's always sounded a bit soft on tubes and mc's definately... | |
| Skala or Kleos? At 1000 hours you still have plenty of life left. The lyra stylus will last around 2000 - 2500 hours without any problems.Cheers | |
| Nordost Cable Sale I took advantage to finally buy a 5.5 metre set of Tyr interconnects.A crapload better than Acoustic Zen silver reference. | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi guys. I am currently trying out a pass labs xp-25 phono stage. Sounds pretty darm good with Atlas and xv-1s.I decided to replace the xv-1s with the legend that is the Technics epc-p100cmk4 on the exclusive p3 to see how it sounds with mm. chang... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 Hi SmoffatI do not think you should be in any hurry to buy an Atlas if your A90 is still working fine. That said I believe the Atlas is the better sounding cartridge. imo, the a90 is smooth and slightly relaxed in its delivery. The Atlas is faster... | |
| Vinyl Heaven : Lyra Atlas on a Durand Talea 2 I have had my Atlas for close to 3 months now and it is a wonderful cartridge. I have mine at 500 ohms with tubes and 320 ohms with SS phono. JFrech, you know you want one :-) enjoy | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w thanks Fjn Very interesting, taken them 30 years. back to the future:-) will be interesting on feedback if anyone has tried it. that said, folks have had good performance from the Tron phono and XV-1s - low impedance - high gain SUT. | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w HfisherIf you have the tracking and other issues you related below, perhaps it is not the XV-1s that is deficient. I personally have never had any of these issues you describe on all your tables.BTW, I have never heard the XV-1 sound particularly ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w Hi Unoear. No, I meant system balance. We all try to create a system that suits our own listening bias and musical taste. To others this balance will be lean, neutral, warm, perfect and probably every other combination in between.cheers |
