| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges Get a wood body Grado - which BTW is a moving iron (MI) cartridge with better design characteristics than MM cartridges. | |
| Trading the Zu Audio Omen Def MK-II KEF LS50 Meta's are a great small-room speaker. | |
| (dons Helmet, kevlar vest and cup.) Biwiring Cornwall IVs any benefit? Shame on speaker companies for perpetuating this malarkey! | |
| Indispensable Tool! Get a CD or stream Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music to give your system a good workout! Not recommended for musical enjoyment! | |
| Need someone to look at my Dynaco 70 Could be a short in the 5 volt winding on the power transformer. The stock Dynaco power transformers are under-sized for the circuit's tube load. If so, buy a higher-rated power transformer. | |
| (dons Helmet, kevlar vest and cup.) Biwiring Cornwall IVs any benefit? Bi-amping removes the inductor and capacitor from the woofer and connects it directly to a separate amp connected to an electronic crossover. | |
| (dons Helmet, kevlar vest and cup.) Biwiring Cornwall IVs any benefit? No benefits. Bi-wiring is just a ploy to get you to buy more wire. Bi-amping using an electronic crossover and another amp to drive the woofer separately from the mid/tweeter is beneficial as it offers better control/damping of the woofer. | |
| Tube Phonostage Causing Rumble and Noises Rumble filter needed to attenuate everything below 20hz. In the past preamps often had this as a switchable option. My RGR 4 has it and I leave it engaged. | |
| What use to burn in power cords? This is why people think audiophiles are nuts. | |
| Cartridge for JVC Get the SAS stylus. The Z1 is worthy of that! | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? I use a Mitsubishi DA-F10 tuner and listen to NPR programming 24/7 on 89.7 WUSF Tampa. Now that WUSF has ended the overnight Jazz program it is news and talk radio. I turn it off when I am asleep. | |
| Hana S or z Hana M Low output MC Cartridge? That's a good price for the M. Go for it! | |
| Happy Holidays to All Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to fellow Agoners! | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... Revel Salon 2 | |
| Are luxman integrated amps truly balanced? No, the Luxman is not true balanced. Stay with RCA single-end interconnects. No benefit at 3 feet! XLR cables are for 50/100 ft distances where hum can be a problem. |
