| Azimuth observations and importance Actusreus - use your amps terminals rather than your speakers. With a voltmeter set to AC, the 5V setting should do nicely. Also you will need a test record. Below is a link to an A'gon write-up I did a while back - there is nothing unique about i... | |
| When It All Comes Together-Heaven Wonderful! This is why we do our hobby. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm. | |
| SME V arm and what cartridge? Flyski - thanks for the follow-up! I've heard from or read several folks who go for the Lamm/Wilson combo. A recent review at the Audio Beat covers the Sasha/Lamm 1.2. Pardon my going off topic. | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? I owned the Premier 12, the Premier 140 and had the TPA 30 mkII for an extended visit, while I had the 140. (I own Atma-Sphere gear today, so you are doing my amp history in reverse. ;-) Both CJ amps are excellent big watt push-pull designs based ... | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? I don't think so. Well, not entirely.Blindjim - I'm not exactly sure what your point is, but if you're saying the TPA-30's sonic signature is not solely a result of its using the EL-34, then, sure that's obvious and I agree with you. Paul Marks ma... | |
| Sumptuous, lush, rich, liquid golden midrange amp? I concur with the TPA-30 recommendation as meeting your criteria. I really liked their luxurious tonality. With that, maybe other EL-34 based amps - doesn't Quicksilver have a 50W EL-34 monoblock? (That reminds me, I still have a pair of the origi... | |
| SME V arm and what cartridge? The Transfiguration Orpheus is an excellent match to my SME V. Neutral, natural timbre, quick.By the way - a bit off topic - how do you like the Sasha with the Lamm 1.2 ? I'm considering that combo myself. | |
| Phono cables with angled DIN for SME IV and V arms Jfrech - could you please describe the specially wired DIN setup on your Tri Planar? TIA | |
| Upgrading from Verity Sarastro I to II I'll see your cake and raise you grandma's baklava! | |
| My findings on Magico V2.....what now? I guess the only way to know is to listen to more speakers of different makes.... maybe try your own amps on the V2 at the dealer? | |
| Which cable do you think is most important? Once signal gets lost or corrupted, no amount of expensive cable will recover it. If you have to spend more in one place, spend on the run from source, starting with tonearm to phono section or CD to pre-. Otherwise, don't spend disproportionatel... | |
| Shunyada Dark Field help Height from bottom to inside "V" is roughly 2-1/4". The sliver of interior white foam sits slightly higher than the black, maybe by 1/8". Overall dimensions: 4 W x 3-1/2 H by 1 thick. | |
| Tube Monoblock location? - Rack or near speakers? Wrt the Sanders and Walker observations - these are not mutually exclusive. Put each monoblock near its speaker and cable accordingly. Generally, shorter speaker cables are preferred assuming your preamp has enough output voltage to drive the nee... | |

| CJ preamps? Among the vintage models, the PV-5 - the archetype of CJ preamps - or its immediate descendant, the PV-8 offer that wonderfully glowing CJ sonic. If you can reach beyond the PV line, apart from the ART, the Premier 16 is the pinnacle of 20th Centu... |
