| Koetsu US Importer FWIW, I used Soundsmith EZ mount hardware for a Koetsu Jade which had threaded mounting holes, which worked fine. They are listed as M2.5 so 2.5 mm should work fine for the threaded holes.The EZ mounts are nice because they come in different mater... | |
| Aluminum Foil test for Audio Desk Vinyl Cleaner I took the plunge for the ADSC a few months ago. I'm not going to defend the price, but it is the best and most convenient record cleaner in existence period IMHO.If your heavy into vinyl and have cash it's an investment worth doing.End of story. | |
| SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead Soundsmith's recommendation is for 2-4K loading. I'm loading mine at 2.2K and it sounds great. Don't know what would happen at 400 ohms but I suspect it wouldn't be good.Why not speak to Manley to see if there are more loading options. That seems ... | |
| GRADO CARTRIDGE & TONEARM COMPATIBILITY Long time previous Grado user. The RB 300 will work fine. | |
| Ideas on table/arm combo for Miyajima mono cart I would suggest the Thomas Schick arm which is sold by OMA. It is designed specifically for low compliance cartridges and is reasonably priced at around $1500 new. Go to the OMA website for more info.As an aside Miyajima now make the Zero, their t... | |
| Amplifier for Quads I 've owned both the Bedini 25/25 and currently the Atmasphere S30 though I have not heard either with Quad 57. I can say that the Bedini 25/25 is highly regarded by Quad 57 owners as I was deluged with offers when I sold it.That being said, I wou... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Just my 2 cents, but I have to agree with Albert, that all three are capable of excellent sound but when executed correctly i'd have to vote for DD. My current setup is a Technics SP 10 in a slate plinth and what you hear is a substantial increase... | |
| Sussurro Paua on JMW 10.5 arm - mini review Hi. Thanks for the review. What VTF did you use? | |
| Some Advice Hi. Fellow Soul Superfly and former VPI TNT owner. The Lyra's have worked well with VPI turntables. Their tendency to be on the cool side mated well with warm sound of the VPI's. The Classic is far more neutral then previous VPI's but the current ... | |
| Compatability of Koetsu Black Urishi with ARC PH-7 Hi. Long time Koetsu Jade user so I thought I'd try to help I can't find the exact gain of thr PH7 but I'm assuming it's in the mid 50's. that should work fine with the 0.6 mv of the Urishi. Regarding loading, 30 ohms is way too low. I don't know ... | |
| Has anyone heard the Audioquest Dragonfly? I got one for my wife to upgrade her computer audio. It is a very large upgrade compared to straight mini-RCA. That's with Itunes in Apple lossless. I'D imagine a further upgrade with Pure Music or similar product. We also use it with ear phones a... | |
| Class A, 6SN7 pre amp with zero feedback Atma-Sphere MP 1Any reason for the 6SN7 requirement? There's a lot of great preamps that don't have the 6SN7 as the prime tube. | |

| SUGGEST A TUBE AMP? For under a grand I would suggest a Conrad-Johnson MV 52. Usually goes for around $800. Try to get the 52 over the 50. The 52 has all polypropalene caps in the power supply.BTW, I'm a long term S30 owner. If you can get one for around a thousand d... | |
| Cartridge for a Thomas Schick Tonearm...MM ? The arm is designed to work with loe compliance cartridges. The OMA site sells a moving magnet cartridge made by Soundsmith for the Shick arm. It goes for $800 and I suspect it's a superb value.Other options would be the UWE, Zu or Soundsmith modi... |
