| Zu Soul Superfly Well, I've had mine for approx. 6 weeks. Plenty of bass. No issues like you mention. Wonder if something happened to the Grewe loading?Would definately call Zu to discuss.Sorry couldn't be more help | |
| Amp advice sought for Coincident Total Victory Hi Dave. Glad your enjoying my former speakers. Regarding amps I used an an Atmasphere S30 for years. Its 30 watts/ch OTL and produced spectacular sound. Alot of what you like about the 300b SET amp but much greater speed and transparency. Also th... | |
| Technics SP-10mkII replacement screws? You might want to contact one of the plinth makers for the SP 10 as the SP 10 has to be bolted to their respective plinths (OMA,Albert Porter,Artisian Audio,Steve Dobbins).Jonathan Weiss of OMA for sure knows because he ships all required hardware... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly I got mine about 2 weeks ago. Driving it with an Atmasphere S30. Pretty amazing combo after about 30 hours of break in. Great definition and transparency. Even though my current digs don't allow for optimal placement, soundstaging and imaging are ... | |
| Atma-sphere MA-1 mk 3 to 3.1 upgrade I have an S30. Went from mk 2 to 3.1.Definatly, worth it. Lower noise floor though I didn't think that the mk 2 was noisy. Better bass. More space between the performers.Even my wife, who loves music and tolerates the hifi stuff noticed and was in... | |
| Technics: PLINTHS: Dobbins, Porter, or Thompson? I have not heard any of these plinths but I can say that Albert Porter is a class gentlemen who I wouldn't hesitate to buy from. I have no doubt his plinths are outstanding. Steve Dobbins I know of only by reputation but I don't think you can go w... | |
| JMW 9 effective mass? Toufu, you should also consider the Dynevector and Lyra lines of cartridges. Both work extremly well in the VPI arms. | |
| JMW 9 effective mass? I used a VPI JMW 10 with a Koetsu Jade for many years so perhaps I can help here.First of all, a compliance of 15 is not a low compliance cartridge. It is squarely in the medium catagory. Low compliance is usually considered < 10 such as a Koet... | |
| Amp recommendation for Alon IV The Alon 4's are different then the other Alon models in that they have a 15" woofer and are very power hungry. 100 watts/ch minimum, 200 watts/ch even better. I agree that tubes are the way to go if possible but it's going to be tough to find a t... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Albert, a question about the Boston Audio mat on a sp10 mk 2. Where you able to fit the standard mat-1 on the Mk2 platter or did you have to have one custom sized? I ask because the mat's diameter per BA is 293.5mm and the diameter inside the lip ... | |
| Thought on OTL tube amps FWIW,I've owned an Atmasphere S30 for 10 years almost since it's introduction currently updated to the latest 3.1 configuration.Over that time there have been no significant mechanical/reliability issues. IMHO, these "OTL concerns" date back to th... | |
| Koetsu owners cartridge set up ? I have a Koetsu jade. The ballpark starting point for loading a MC is 25 x resistance (5ohms) thus 125 ohms for a Koetsu.I run mine at 500-1000 ohms. I tried 100 ohms and it was too closed in. I've also run it at 47 kohms but I think it sounds mor... | |
| Rogers LS3/5a question These were my first "high end" speakers back in the late seventies. I had them hard wired with Fulton brown speaker wire(one of the first audiophile cables).Don gives a nice description of their sound. They also have a nice jump/aliveness to their... | |
| Grado Earbuds I bought a pair for my wife for use with her iphone. They sound excellent to me especially for the price. | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Gopher, I've been an Atma-Sphere S30 owner for many years and just recently had them upgraded to 3.1 status.Regarding how hot they run, it's my understanding that they run slightly hotter, around 5-10%, than class A solid state amps of equivalent ... |
