| Lyra Atlas experiences @mijostyn Thank you for your feedback, You might want to read up on my turntable a bit more before getting too critical of how I use it. I might look dumb but I do kind of know what I’m doing. LOL You are wrong about the risk of bearing wear re... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences @mijostyn Thanks for the suggestions, but they have all been addressed. I have already adjusted azimuth, using an acrylic gauge and confirmed with my Fozgometer (which should always be run with a fresh battery for accurate results). Lyra suggests ... | |
| Lyra Atlas experiences I took delivery of a Lyra Atlas Lambda SL about a week ago. I have about 35 hrs on it now (I can’t be dragged away from it….LOL). I waited five months from the time I ordered. I am using this with a Clearaudio Ovation and Universal arm, with a Na... | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable I'm now using the isoAcoustics Delos, instead of the ButcherBlock Acoustics I had before. It's more expensive, since it has four of their iso-pucks embedded as feet, but I'm happier with it and I'm now able to use my turntable on my equipment rack... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp owner's advice. I sold my VTPH-2a recently, not because I didn't like it. It think it's the best value for the money and punches very well above its weight. I only sold mine because I have a top shelf Naim 'Classics' system and decided to match it with the Naim S... | |
| Advice on setting VTA I don't get too hung up about VTA, but I do have dynamic VTA adjustment. I find settings each for 200 gr, 180 gr and older thinner records. Spend some time listening/adjusting (a tad tail down with my DV XV-1S) and note the position for each recor... | |
| Advice on setting VTA I use this to make sure the arm is parallel then adjust from there.http://aaudioimports.com/ShowProduct.asp?hProduct=81 Damn! $85? I have one of these. Got it on eBay for about $5. 😳 | |
| Naim Audio system owners - What speakers are you using with Naim? I know, old thread, but just ran across it so I’ll add my 2¢ if it’s still relevant...I have Naim 252/SuperCap-DR/300-DR, with NDX2/XPS-DR plus analog front end. I’m using Dynaudio Confidence C2 Platinum and a pair of REL R-328. It’s a heavenly ma... | |
| Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection? I never parted with my record collection and I never will. I worked in the retail record business when CDs came out in the 80s. I thought they sounded like garbage and that Phillips/Sony "perfect sound forever" market-speak was just a bunch of tot... | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? I love listening to strings and I love what my Dynavector XV-1s does to reproduce them. Never sibilant, always smooth as silk with excellent ability to resolve details. I had a Clearaudio Concerto before that and it wasn't nearly as good, especial... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A final thoughts. I can confirm all the positive comments here about Keith and the VTPH-2a. Keith lives just 10 miles up the road from me, and when I ordered my VTPH-2 five years ago he delivered it to my house and hung out for several hours while we got everything... | |
| Ordered a Roon Nucleus Plus I run Roon (with Qobuz) on a 2012 Mac Mini i7, which I upgraded with a 1 TB Samsung EVO SSD. Both Roon Core and my 500GB library of ripped CDs and 24-bit FLAC files are on that SSD. I don't use the Mac for anything else.I am getting ready to migra... | |
| Qobuz Users Update? I had TIDAL for about 6 months and signed up for Qobuz went it went live in the U.S. I listen mostly to classical and jazz. I think Qobuz sounds better, but my Naim NDX2 doesn’t support MQA (and probably never will) so with TIDAL Studio I only get... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions The Moon LP3 is a fine preamp in the range, but if you want to step up your game, I don't see doing that without at least doubling your budget to $1200 or even $1500+. If you like the Moon phonostage sound – which as I recall has a very neutral pr... | |
| Dynaudio C4 old stock discounted I was going to buy them but they're too tall for my room and the tweeters in them are a nearly 20 y o designLOL...those Esotar2 tweeters are amazing and some of the best in the business still, and Dynaudio continued to refine them since inception.... |
