| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Gregadd.Would you buy the phono stage if you liked it?? I would.It is not a cheap unit. :) | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? RaulMe for one will be happy to be a beta tester and try out your phono stage and let the gon know about my experiences. If I like I will buy it.Me I have gone back to the Pass Xono for the moment after trying many other phono stages.email me sepe... | |
| Powercords for CJ CT-5 Cmach. I have done 500 hours on it by now.It just dosn't seem to have that old cj warmth. I have even changed out my cables to cardas golden cross and harmonic truthlink to add some wamth.compared to driving the phono stage direct into the amps (u... | |
| Powercords for CJ CT-5 I agree with the other posters. standard cable seems to be the best compromise. I have tried TG SLVR that I used to use on the prem16 and that adds a bit of treble extension (which in my system it does not need) and takes away from the midrange. N... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Gregadd. What does Luke Manley have to do with this thread. VTL don't even make a phono stage.You must be confusing Eva Anna's Manley company which makes the steelhead. IMO, it is very quiet and has great dynamics - I can see why people like it, b... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Raul. I would not trust his wide ranging opinion that transformers are the only way to load a MC cartridge. Just the same I won't believe you that all SUT's are bad.I think as a few of the guys in the thread here have stated - it all depends on th... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Raul.What do you think of Tim De Paravancini from EAR. He uses transformers extensively in all his products including MC pickups. His EAR 834 is an excellent unit, I am listening to one now and it has a fluidity that the Pass Xono or Ayre Px5 don'... | |
| How to upgrade a nondetachable power cord? Don't bother, cj voiced their amp with the captive power cable and they feel you need to spend real money to improve on it.if you feel the need to change something, change an interconnect or something. | |
| What preamp for Lamm M1.2 ? I would look at placette passive or active linestage - they also have 30 day return policy.or cj ACT or CT5 pre amp. both have 20db gain, but you will not get any tube rush with your lamm amp. my cj prem350 has similar gain to your Lamm amps and I... | |
| Von schweikert vr4sr up against mahler Melm, In my system the VS 4.5's could never really get any deep bass and the midrange / treble was very trasparent but ultimately fatiguing - much like hifi.The mahlers just sounded better. | |
| Setup Dynavector XV-1s on SME V help Tim. I find my XV-1 is quite sensitive to VTA in the 5 years I have had one, but it will never go from sounding great to bad. That is why I bought the VPI to make it easier than my Linn. There seems to be enuf SME IV / V users out there that are g... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? David12. I have looked at the K&K p[hono stage. Does it have nice tube warmth?In M Fremer's colum last mnth he reviewed the art audio ref1, which is based on the K&K. he commented on overloading and distortion when using a .5mv lyra titan.... | |
| Setup Dynavector XV-1s on SME V help Darren. Harry from VPI has always stated he believes antiskating is a crap shoot as it changes at every position as you play the record.XV-1s takes about 300 hours to settle down. Must admit I never noticed any stifness in the cantilever, but then... | |
| The Sutherland Ph. D. vs ARC Ph-3 The sutherland would be a lot better than the PH3. I have heard the PH5 and PHD and they are both very good abeit different.The new ARC PH5 has a nice slight upper bass bloom with very good extension top to bottom. sounds a LOT better than the PH3... | |
| MC transformers - what do they sound like? Thom. thaqnks for that, The Bent audio Mu transformers appeals to me as it is easy to change the loading and seems to have a good reputation.What is the difference between changing the load on a MC transformer compared to changing the loads on an ... |
