EMT 948 Can you help with adjusting loading?
Good luck with the new table. I haven't heard it with the EMT cartridge. I believe it has a much higher output than what I'm using. In order to use the Dynavector cartridge I got the adjustable oversize headshell from Louis. If the hiss is from ov... 
EMT 948 Can you help with adjusting loading?
Rost,I believe that there aren't any other choices. So, I'm having a cable made to bypass the built in board and go directly to a phonostage. Thanks for your help. 
Do speakers have to "warm-up" too?
My system overall needs about eight hours to fully open up.It's easy to know, it always sounds thin, closed and clouded when first started and the next morning is wide open when I leave in on overnight.The speakers have two internal digital amps e... 
Tremendous RF problem -- phono stage is a radio
Have you tried different lenghts of cables? The interconnect may be the proper antenna length for your local radio stations. 
Anyone spend more on their system than their car?
More than my street cars? Absolutely. More than my race cars? It's hard to beat an equation designed to humble even the rich economically. 
Do tube dampers improve sound?
I used Halos on my Tenor 75OTL's. The Halos made the single biggest sonic improvement I've ever heard in my system. It's astonishing how much distortion I believed was in the music was eliminated and enhanced clarity, detail and lower noise floor ... 
Could some one explain how to buy best cables?
When I had a deviant room (suckout, echos, bass bloat, endless reflections) I tried cables to correct the deficiencies I had both in the room and in the equipment. I suspect that is the case for most of us in most situations. Presuming that's your... 
whats your idea of loud music.
Loud to me includeds the predominant volume level, not the transients. My usual listening level is between 75 and 85 db with peaks to 110. My equipment includes 4x1000 watts to power the 4 15" subwoofers. I'm told that the speakers are 99 db effic... 
Heard the $325000 Acapella's Sphaeron excaliburs?
I haven't either heard of the Sphaeron's before and I've never heard them. I do find $325,000 a lot of money for speakers. And, I don't know anyone who owns such speakers. Could I consider paying 325K for absolutely the best ever made? Sure. I hav... 
XLR-RCA-BNC sonic quality differences
Thanks Fsarc. You obviously have had way too much education in the reading area. You seem competent in the reading comprehesion area too.What's you take on the differences with BNC connectors of coax, the L-Com cable and a very high quality copper... 
Looking for killer DVD/CD player for 2 channel
I asked this question to a friend of mine. I was surprised by his answer. He said, "wait for the next generation of players and buy a $150 unit. It will be obsolete in six months."Is he right? 
XLR-RCA-BNC sonic quality differences
I'm really surprised by the lack of answers here. What I know is that BNC connectors with Coax cable seems to be impressive compared with conventional cabling when using the Dartzeel to Dartzeel combination.Is that special to the Dartzeels, or is ... 
What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks?
Nrchy,I direct you to your post of 5/4, "That would be a good question, if anyone cared, but he sure knows a lot about the sound of other peoples systems."I'm not usually sensitive, except when attacked by strangers. I was answering your question ... 
What Do You Get When You Spend Megabucks?
Nrchy,You have an amazing ability to think your sarcasm is funny. You posted a question to me. If you didn't mean the question, I believe that you had no business posting it. I wonder about people who ask questions and aren't interested in the ans...
