| Thoughts on Phantom vs Copperhead? My advice would be to take the $ and use it to have musicians play live music in his home once a month. Then he'll see that no matter how much upgrading he does it will never be enough. Then he'll give up. Right? | |
| Benz Micro M2 loading Boy, here's a can of worms I can relate to. I share in your pain! I have to ask you 1st, is this a new cart.? What was your previous cartridge and setting. Is Benz broken in? Is the Benz a recommended match for your arm?Now I can ramble...There ar... | |
| AQ PT-9 vs. Rb250-300 What did you you like about it regarding the sound differences? | |
| Cartridge Man Isolator with Graham mounting Jig? Lwerner,"Depending how thick the Isolator is, the flip-over glass guide may not sit flat, you may have to guess a bit on how far the stylus projects. I had no problem with the required extra plate." That is exactly what I am worried about. I am to... | |
| Amp for Naim line? Mike,I have had all three 250's in my Naim set-up. I have an orig. 52 and have had a chrome, olive and 250.2 in my system. The chrome vs the olive is by far the biggest jump. The olive has bass slam, and rhythm in spades. I recently moved to a 250... | |
| Hope this helps someone with RFI problems I too live in an RF/EM nightmare. My system is literally 50-70' beneath high voltage power lines. These send out enough RF/EM that enter my sys. via phono cart., phono preamp or not to mention how it plays havoc with my phono cable. I've had no lu... | |
| CDP caused tinnitus? As someone who has had tinnitus on/off for several years, mine was only really noticable at night when I was trying to sleep. It had the sound of "motor hum" a lower frequency noise. Interestingly enough it has been less noticable in the past year... | |
| Upgrade options from Michell Gyro SE Shoegazer, I would upgrade the arm first to an RB600 or RB900. Then either the platter upgrade and next a cart. upgrade. I have an OrbeSE and my latest cart. and phonostage upgrades were the biggest improvements I have heard in a long time. The PH... | |
| Got a New CD Player and Now I'm Bummed I don't quite understand how you think "The table ....is immune from footfalls and airborne vibration generated by the speakers." Isolated from footfalls to a large extent but form speaker airborne vibes, now way. I have to agree with Restock that... | |
| Spendor S9e or ProAc Response D28 I have had both in my system and chose the Proac's. I use Naim gear and tried the s8e's and the D28's. I loved the top end of the Spendors. My room acentuates HF to make your ears bleed, (at least my ears) and the Spendors were really smooth and n... | |
| Phono hum You need to establish a ground from the TT to the preamp! That is where the cables are grounded to from the TT in the first place. Try connecting a lead from the TT ground to the preamp chassis. If it has a screw somewhere on the chassis un screw ... | |
| LP -12 Felt Plater Mat I used an LP12 for years and had excellent results with the Ringmat. Way better than the felt. It had no negatives in my system. | |
| ARC PH5-Tube info. and suggestions Tim,Thanks. Question: Do the 4 tubes all need to be matched pairs? | |
| ARC PH5-Tube info. and suggestions Easy to say and do if your'e treble isn't too hot! But if it is and it ruins the listening experience one has no choice to search for a better sound unless cotton in the ears is considered a worthwhile upgrade. | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Stringreen,I find the fact taht the "H" sounded much better interesting. My Ruby2 was about 6yrs. old with low hours. I picked up a used LP one with 100hrs. or so. I still had my Ruby2 to compare both. The LP was better all around I thought. It wa... |
