| MC suggestions I will be receiving my new cart soon. I decided to stop whittling around and go for it. The resistor mod I may still go after down the line. It was almost the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, but after talking to my local dealer, I decided to go with the A... | |
| MC suggestions I thought I’d post a follow up post if anyone is curious as to what direction I went. Being that the sound I hear in my head is oh-so-close, I reached out to Bill at LKV and he’s really interested in trying out the naked foil resistors. It’ll be s... | |
| MC suggestions @edgewear I worked with Bill at LKV to get the gain at 47k up to wear it needed to be to support a 1mv output from my Statement Reference v.2 Didn't mean to imply it was dark and lifeless necessarily, it certainly is not that. But, I want more ya... | |
| MC suggestions @johnss I will look into this. I wonder if the designer would agree with you and not mind humoring me. Bill has been such a cool guy to go through this process with. This could be a nice tweak to grab that "micro detail" that I know is there. I'm... | |
| MC suggestions @tomic601 hey!, whaddya know, maybe there is more Grado fans than I thought! Grado’s there sure is something about them for that full bodied natural presentation(midrange?). Seems like you got some nice set-ups going. 2-votes Lyra. with Nagaoka co... | |
| MC suggestions Hey all, johnss, my stage is I think a nice one, its the LKV-2sb. Dual mono, outboard power supply, decent amount of gain for a lo-out cart. Usual options for loading and gain. I'm not sure about changing that out, it'd be a pricier proposition.... | |
| What are you going to buy / download this season? I picked up the Dead’s RSD release, “Playin In The Band”. Knock your socks off production /sound(wall of sound era) and the music(one song over both sides-45 minutes long), is pretty darn epic. | |
| Are you as OCD as this audiophile? That was great I had no idea what he was talking about but I liked it. “A proper crossover or a mess.” Ya! I think I’ll subscribe ocdhifiguy. I can relate somewhat sometimes I give people a glazed over face when I get going | |
| Best vinyl purchases based on pressing, studio production, sound quality and enjoyment. I’m gonna come at this just a bit different in my suggestions based on my digging around like folkfreak suggested as a methodology. I have found anything by these guys to be excellent music and top fkn shelf sound. These are not rare birds but I g... | |
| Best MM? Been running a Grado Statement v2 as of late and I just love it. Traded in an older Grado Ref. v1( started out way back with a Sonata) and it was only 1k for new one. I’m glad to see new v2 Grados get a mention here. I’ve often wondered if I was j... | |
| Insider or Outsider? To be or not to be,...? lookin like net neutrality on a micro scale and a dash of social stratification with whiffs of gentrification. It’s obvious who they really want around. And that’s fine they gotta make money. I’ll find other forums not worried. Will be interesting... | |

| Thiel CS2.4 to what? Well, I haven’t moved from the 2.4 but does the 1.5 count? Probably not. But I did love those little speakers and I did covet the 2.4’s, still do actually. Anyway moved to low power set and single driver and have now gone push pull and supplemente... | |
| In need high-efficency speakers I had some GoldenEar’s for awhile and you know what they were great speakers. I foolishly thought they weren’t audiophiley enough at the time. Meaning they just didn’t seem cool enough, dumb I know. But they imaged big, great tone on em. I listene... | |
| Decware Tori II vs. Line Magnetic 518ia Well I can say I fave the mk3 with my phono preamp running direct. No problems. Love the amp. I rarely turn it past 9. Speakers are 8ohm, 95db. Cart is 1mv gain at 62. I can lower the gain and will, just been feeling out my Grado Statement at this... |
