| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL I’m on board and have been for years. I just don’t want the extra clutter and complexity. Whenever I get close to pulling the trigger, my inner self says, "Nah. My Sound Labs do excellent bass, though I would not argue that very low bass could be ... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital There’s no way to predict the excellence of a particular LP, in terms of sound quality. There is always an element of serendipity. But for jazz, ECM, Pablo, Bethlehem, Riverside, Contemporary, then Columbia, are pretty reliable. Perhaps best ever ... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL OMG! I once owned Tympani 1Us and then Tympani IIIs. Those were my only forays outside of the ESL paradigm since 1973. Without the ribbon tweeter, magnepans were dead sounding, utterly lifeless. It’s frightening to think how closely our bouts with... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Guys! All I was trying to do was to establish the definitions of bipole and dipole. But I must say I’m curious about a “dipole cancellation compensation circuit” or whatever Mr Ding calls it. I remember reading about subwoofers using two woofers i... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL There is dipolar and there is bipolar. The difference is important. In one case, where we are talking about two subwoofers mounted into opposite sides of a cabinet, the rear or opposite side firing woofer will cancel cabinet movement that might ... | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's Not enough gain is often a problem with the lowest output of LOMCs, like less than 0.3mV @ 5cm/sec. However, I cannot recall ever having a problem with too much gain, if we restrict the discussion to LOMC cartridges and MC inputs. And what most f... | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's When one uses the phrase,” specifically designed for MC cartridges”, what does that mean? I assume it means that the phono stage has gain sufficient to allow the use of a low output moving coil cartridge without the need for a step up transformer ... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Like I said, in my opinion Quad 57s are best if you remove the complex electronics that Walker implements in order to make the panel act like a point source. Then a stacked pair (or triplet) can act like a line source. Hearing is believing. | |
| VAS (Steven Leung) cartridge repair/retipping service? Is this Steve Leung the same person who was previously associated with Raysonic in China? | |
| Suggestions for phono preamp for LOMC's Check out he recent thread on SUTs. There you will find mention of good high gain phono stages that are compatible with LOMC cartridges. Also I suggest you read up on “gain”, the meaning of db, etc, so you can calculate how much gain is enough for... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital In my above post, the sentence "In general I have found that sampling is a good thing." contains a typo. Should have written or meant to write "upsampling" is a good thing. | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Vinylshadow, that hasn’t been my experience. In general I have found that sampling is a good thing. Also, you leave out SACD. I find that music recorded as SACD and played back as such is far superior to RBCD; whereas older recordings reproduced o... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL Pindac, you’ve risen in my esteem. Stacked 57s are among the finest sounding speakers I’ve ever heard. I’ve a local friend who even runs 3 pairs! Dave Slagle (EMIA) built for him tube amplifiers that direct drive the panels via a single transforme... | |
| Recommendations for a jazz record which demonstrates vinyl superiority over digital Richardbrand, With all due respect, you asked a very bad, very open-ended question with many ambiguous edges (the question pre-supposes that analog is in fact superior to digital and that there is or could ever be such a thing as a recording that ... | |
| The Shure V15 V with a Jico SAS/B stylus VS The Soundsmith Hyperion MR and Lyra Atlas SL What is so interesting is that Mijostyn and I arrived at the same speakers (full range ESLs) driven by the same brand of amplifier (Atmasphere) completely independent of one another and before we ever met on this forum, and yet we differ emphatica... |
