| Seeking turntable upgrade advice "My guess is that you could spend a million dollars on a turntable and you could not get it to sound good."Not sure I understand you. It already sound very good and I am enjoying what I have. Now that I'm not being limited by other aspects of my s... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice I might be close minded here, but I'm not convinced that you can compare tables when they're in completely different rooms and systems. How much of the character of what you're hearing is the table versus other components including cartridge etc. ... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice Thanks for the reply, Doug.The reason I was considering a 265 is because I know someone who is selling one used. However, I have followed up on Ebm's suggestion to contact Highwater Sound and I was extremely impressed with Jef. I'm thinking that s... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice Thom: Good advice, just not as fun. :-)Doug, out of curiosity, while the 265 may be step down from the Galibier, Reven, your 320 (and maybe SME?), would it still be a step up from my Scoutmaster considering it allows me to change the tonearm?Teres... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice OK, I see where you're coming from now. The only area where you're confused is:"As we heard with your TT/arm/cart in my system, your rig actually produces clean harmonics. The "ringing" comes from other components which can't handle those harmonic... | |
| Sophia II's and Pass Labs etc I have Sophia 2s and Pass XA 100.5s. They are a great match. I was worried that I wouldnt have enough power and was thinking of the XA 160.5s but my dealer talked me out of it. He was right to do so. The XA 100.5s have 200 watts of power at 4... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice What gives you impression I have distorted harmonics in my system, Doug? You haven't heard it... I'm confused. | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice What erroneous conclusion have I arrived to with the Doshi other than it's not to my taste in my system? It's a highly regarded piece of equipment and I'm not saying there's anything wrong with it. Btw, the mismatch for me was not due to the phono... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice Doug,When we met, the problems with my analog rig (as I saw it) were:- low frequency ringing- slight lack of high frequenciesThe ringing was heard by all, the lack of high frequencies wasn't, although I often heard the comment that my tonearm was ... | |
| Seeking turntable upgrade advice Riley804: You're absolutely right. I had a ton of issues when I first got into analog. It wasn't just related to my TT though - my first cartridge was whacky as was my Rhea (which had to be repaired). For a long while I wasn't happy, but over time... | |
| Seeking suggestions for Preamp Thanks for the all the responses! | |
| Montreal Show? I might have went if I had known about it. | |
| Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2 So would you guys think that the Pass XA 100.5 would have enough power? My Theta's are 650 watts into 4ohms and the Pass would only be 200 watts. Not that I'm an expert in any way when it comes to ohms, impedance, class A vs B etc, but I do know m... | |
| Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2 ARC products are lean in the bass, aren't they? | |
| Are Wilson Sophia 2's lean in the midbass? Tusa,What models of those Pass lines have you tried - or specifically how many watts?I'm wondering if I should try different amps (currently using Theta Citadel 1.5's). |
