| Koetsu compliance compatibility issues Well, this not an area of expertice but the effective mass is the moment of inertia and the further from the pivot point wheather the cartridge or counter weight increases the moment of inertia and hence the effective mass. In your formula the F w... | |
| Koetsu compliance compatibility issues I'm using a koetsu jade with a VPI JMW-10 on a TNT turntable.On paper the JMW-10 is a poor match for the jade as it's a unipivot with effective mass is in the 10-11gm range. That being said it sounds awfully good to me. Would an arm with a higher ... | |
| Zu Soul Superfly Just thought I'd chime in with some additional amp options in the $500-800 range that over the years I've had some experience with. Conrad-johnson MV 50 or 52(the 52 has polypropylene caps in the power supply) which is EL34 based would be excellen... | |
| Atma Sphere S30 amp Welcome aboard. I'm an S30 owner going back to early 2000, just a few months after it's introduction at the sterophile show in Chicago.I just had mine upgraded to 3.1 status from mk2 and it's a "wow". If your an Atmasphere owner I highly reccomend... | |
| Krell amp with Zu Essence speaker Afc, could you comment on the sound of the Essence? | |
| Record Cleaning Have to second the opinions already voiced. I use the audioquest brush which is good at getting the top dust off and keeping it off the needle but it is not a subsitute for wet cleaning. If your buying used records you MUST have a wet cleaning sys... | |
| VPI Aries 3, 10.5i Arm - Dynavector vs. Koetsu Timztunz, The dynavector's are an excellent match with the JWM arms. I didn't want you to get the impression from my post that their not. VPI even sells them with turntable purchases on their site. The xx2 I'm sure would be an excellent match for ... | |
| VPI Aries 3, 10.5i Arm - Dynavector vs. Koetsu I have not heard those specific cart's however I do have a Koetsu jade on JWM 10 on a TNT.The JWM is not an ideal arm for the Koetsu's as they are low compliance cartridges. That being said the jade sounds pretty darm good on the JWM 10. Ultimatly... | |
| Speaker suggestion for Lamm ML2.1 amps I'll second the recommendation for coincident. I would also suggest Zu essence but that would be pure speculation as I have never heard them together. | |
| Atma-Sphere MP-1 and MP-3 comparison Their's probably only a handful of people in the world who have had a chance to hear the MP1/MP3 side by side in the same system in a meaningful evaluation. Ralph Karsten of Atma-sphere for sure,maybe some of his dealers and perhaps an audiophile ... | |
| Choice of Koetsu cartridges? David, as a koetsu jade owner I thought I would chime in. The dyna xvs-1 is an excelent cartdridge as the multiple posts above have stated. If your looking to upgrade from the rosewood signature I would recomend one of the platinum models, a stone... | |
| Best amp for Coincident Total EclipseII I've been using an Atmasphere S30 with Coincident total victory 1 for many years. If you had asked me what I thought was the ultimate amplifier for coincident speakers I would have voted for the atma's that you already own, so obviously personal t... | |
| Atma-Sphere MA-1 filter cap upgrade I have no experiance with the upgrade your asking about but as an S30 owner I think a call to Ralph Karsten at Atma-Sphere would get your questions/concerns answered. Ralph is an honest sraight shooter and will give you the pro's and con's without... | |
| cartridge selection for vpi10.5/refsupscoutmasters I woukd definatly give the koetsu a serious tryout. I'm using a koetsu jade on a jmw 10 on a tnt. After reading all the negative stuff about vpi tonearms and koetsu my expectations were low but they work very well together in reality. Also remembe... | |
