| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Thanks, Thuchan. By the way, my number is 130. | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge By the way Thuchan, you mentioned earlier (I presume before listening to the A-90) that you liked the ZYX Universe very much. How does the A-90 compare to the Universe? I guess they do sound different but which one would you prefer? | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge This is all exciting news based on the information provided by trusted listeners. I listened to the A-90 at Mike Levine's place and it all sounded great even though it is hard to discern the impact of the cartridge alone in the presence of all ult... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? LitL:In earlier version there was no difference. The original Stage stand was replaced by the subwoofer panel for the Minigrand. The Stage would just atop the subwoofer panel just like it did on the stand. My Minigrand Stages were no different fro... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? LitL:If you or your dad are in DFW area, drop me an email and we will setup a listening session at my place. I think I have a good collection of CD and Vinyl but bring your own too.Krell KSA-100 is a good amp. I am not sure if re-capping is necess... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge I have just opened my A-90 box. I am thinking whether to install the A-90 with my SME3009R on the Micro Seiki RX-1500, or first upgrade the tonearm and then install the A-90 on a better arm. If latter, then I am thinking of Graham phantom even tho... | |

| Review: Tube Research Labs Dude Tube preamp My Dude with additional mods and optimization has been back. I am still comapring it with Charlie's X-2 and it seems like the improved Dude is having an edge...... more later.But I dare say that the Dude as a product must be declared "Find of the ... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? LitL: You made another very important point, that is a truly outstanding and revealing system can expose all the drawbacks of a poor recording. That is the case with THE Apogee. I fully concur. So the solution is do not play poor recording on it!!... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Good comment, Lil. I love to engage in such discussions. I own two Fullranges and I agree that it is one of finest speakers ever made. It has got everything: might, power, authority, finesse, romance, subtlety, you name it. However, I have improve... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Rrog: My guess is that the Manely should mate well with the Stage. I am sorry I do not recall our conversation. Apologies. Drop me an email if you have any specific question. With regard to building speakers, I did not build any per se but I moded... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Rrog: So my answer is even though you may have a 50 WPC amp that can drive the speaker, then so what? The fine detail and quality of the Stage requires a fine quality amp. So for a 50 WPC, numbers may not matter, quality does. And Even though the ... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Rrog: As sogood51 says, 50 WPCs can drive but may be not enough load and may lack dyanmics. When we says power matters (and not matters) it is all relative. The Stage is an easier load as Leo was saying but still need good enough power. | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Rrog: Leo is also saying that the Stage impedence will not be problem, which is what I also said. However, you said "while this may not be a problem for your monster tube amplifiers it can be a problem for other amps"I do not think it will be a pr... | |
| Best Amp to drive my Apogee Stages? Rrog: I do not agree with you because you need to re-read the context of my statement, yours and Leo's. First, you were putting the Stage with all Apogees and saying power does not matter. That needs some clarification.Second, I said power does ma... |
