| Do Costly XLR Cables Make A Difference? As @jetter stated in quoting Ralph it totally depends on the equipment you are connecting. If both pieces follow the AES standard there may not be any improvement noted. Unfortunately in reading a lot of other comments and observations by Ralph on... | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. I have the L3 Atmosphere X HC power cable on my Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated and other SR power cables employed thorough out the system. I really appreciate the performance. I have used upper level Audience, AQ, and MIT in my systems over the y... | |
| To ROON or not to ROON ? I purchased a lifetime subscription over 7 years ago and have not regretted it for a minute. I have an 8TB collection on my NAS and Roon integrates it perfectly with my Qobuz selections. My Wolf server has been issue free through all the updates... | |
| Anyone who owns a Technics SU-R1000, can you answer a quick question The question that remains unanswered is when you are listening to the RCA input phono section “hiss” is the amp set for a MM cartridge input or the increased amplification factor of a MC cartridge. I do not find the actual amplification in the R1... | |
| What Cartridge sings on your Origin Live (Silver Mk 4) arm? The effective mass of the OL Silver mk3 is 12g. It most likely is not a great match for a 1970s MM cartridge with a high dynamic compliance that is designed to track at 0.75g. That cartridge would probably work best on an older Black Widow tonea... | |
| Are Their any Tube Preamp with Home Theater Bypass? VAC preamps will provide you exceptional sound and a Home Theater Bypass. I believe the bypass can be used without power to the preamps tubes. Call VAC and discuss. | |
| What Cartridge sings on your Origin Live (Silver Mk 4) arm? I have owned many OL arms including the Silver Mk 2, Encounter mk3c, and currently the Illustrious mk3c and Enterprise mk4. I have used Lyra, Benz and many levels of Ortofon cartridges up to the Windfeld Ti. Very different presentations but each... | |
| What should I expect moving from MM to MC? You asked about the connection of an external phono preamp and just to clarify that point it would need to be connected to any other analog input except the phono input. | |
| Best Dedicated Streamer I would agree with @newtoncr that you should consider or research the Wolf Audio Systems Alpha 3SX or Red Wolf. I have had my Alpha 3SX for 3 years - Stereophile Class A. | |
| One turntable with two arms, or two turntables with one each - which would you prefer? One turntable with two tonearms is what I currently use. I absolutely agree with @ghdprentice on his comments about the need to invest in a quality phonostage. | |
| Am I Better Off With Limited Low Frequency Speaker In A Small Room? Listened to the new model stand mounted Vienna Acoustic “Hayden” speakers last week in a dealers large room. I was surprised at their performance as far as musicality and the range they projected. I heard a previous Hayden model a few years ago... | |
| Moving Magnet & Moving Coil Cartridges Question... There are two issues that need to be viewed within your question. If you have a low output MC you can purchase a stand alone phono preamp that does all the required amplification and has the RIAA equalization curve. In this case you do not use t... | |
| Best tutorial for cartridge setup Fremer’s video is a good resource. IMHO you must set the Vertical Tracking Force (VTF) first. This only needs to be “close” but as you go about the other initial adjustments you do not want a cartridge that tracks at 2 grams bearing 6 grams of we... | |
