| Thing of upgrading the Soundsmith Carmen II My dynavector 2x20xL cart never seemed to emphasize the SSS's to such a degree that the pop out to me like the Carmen does. I love the tone and dynamics of the Carmen, so I don't want to give up on it yet, but it may not be a great fit to the 3D ... | |
| Thing of upgrading the Soundsmith Carmen II I did contact SS and spoke with Peter, and while he did offer to have me send it it in for inspection I hadn’t gone through all the additional rechecking at that point. Understand that the sibilance isn’t horrible, just more noticeable than my oth... | |

| Thing of upgrading the Soundsmith Carmen II Many times to no avail. With no noticeable changes. | |
| Zu Soul Supreme Recap -- Owners, what are your preferred system pairings with them? I have the Omen Def mk2's with Radian upgrade. I use a Decware SET with a complement of Winged "C" tubes. Very good tone, texture and bass. | |
| Parasound JC3+ making buzzzzzzz Stringreen,. I've tried all of that. As an experiment I was going to get xlr to RCA adaptor and run it from the xlr outs on the phono pre to the single ended at the integrated to see if that would cut the noise, but I'm pretty sure that won't work. | |
| VPI Prime 3D arm making noise I can't be sure if it's the wiring but it feels more substantial than that | |
| Setting anti skate on a VPI for Soundsmith cart Update:found out my my sibilance was coming from the pivot needle mount on the TT coming loose. Tightened that up now everything is sounding wonderful!!! | |
| Setting anti skate on a VPI for Soundsmith cart What I don't understand is how can not having an AS setting work at the inner grooves? The tonearm just wants to swing inward pretty significantly there. | |
| Setting anti skate on a VPI for Soundsmith cart Thanks guys. For now I'm going with no AS and keeping the cart level. Once fully broken in I'll mess with VTA and such. Would it it be correct to assume that the upper limit of VTF would also help aliviate silibance? | |
| Setting anti skate on a VPI for Soundsmith cart So I broke out my Foz and set the azimuth more accurately. Honesty it wasn't but a smidge off. I also have a test record - The ultimate analog test LP - and I checked the antiskate with no antiskate set on the TT, and the darn thing passed with fl... | |
| Decware and Zu. A pairing made in heaven 3 months | |
| Ortofon Quintet Black or Dynavector 20x2L Thank you for all your comments. After some research I think I'm going with the Soundsmith Carmen. Should be a bit more organic from what I've read. | |
| Ortofon Quintet Black or Dynavector 20x2L I'd hate move to a worse thing | |
| “Invest” in Tekton? In that small of a room I would go with SET amp - no question. Decware makes amazing stuff for reasonable cost. Their interconnects work well and a cheap compared to most. Check their site. Pair that with a Zu Omen speaker with Radian tweeter upgr... |
