| Anyone compare NHT Classic Threes to SuperOnes? I use a pair in my upstairs system with a classic 12 subwoofer with very good results. I could live with them as my main speakers. | |
| Going from one system to another....confused The tape out bypasses the volume control,so it wouldn't act as a preamp. I don't think the processor out would be any different. | |
| Next Phonostage Another vote here for the Steelhead. Got one a couple of weeks ago, and the flexibility is amazing and sound without reproach. Havent got close to reaching its limits yet. No noise. | |
| Basis table or SME I havent heard the SME. I own a lesser Basis 2001 and have heard a 2800. I also own a Sota Cosmos IV. I believe the Sota and Basis are comparable and equals, the Basis in Acrylic and the Sota in Wood. The Sota uses a very advanced suspension syste... | |
| Turntable Upgrade Suggestions I have had great satisfaction from mySOTA turntables. Sound engineering, quality construction, great service, American made and superior performance and upgradable. I don't have much experience with VPI, so I can't compare. My oracles are also at ... | |
| Narrowing Down the Speaker Search Try listening to PSB Synchrony One. You should be able to find a pair used for your budget. An excellent, musical speaker, small footprint and doesnt need too much power to sound great. | |
| PSB SYNCROHNY ONE What upgrade are you talking about. I have a pair of synchrony ones, but am not aware of any crossover upgrade | |
| How long untill I can really Flog them Hard More speakers are "blown" from too little power than too much. If your amp is clipping, it sends off all kinds of nasties to the speaker, especially the tweeter, which cant take much to start with. What amp are you using? The 802 should take plent... | |
| Speaker opinions for my setup, pls? What volume do you listen at. My understanding is that Maggies sound best when played loud and are a little week at lower volume levels. If that's not a concern, they are a great choice. I have had great luck with PSB speakers. The 6t, t65 or Stra... | |
| Bi-Amping I thought that was your question, rather than biamping which is using two amps at once. You cant just hook up two amps to one speaker, as the signal from one amp will feed into the other amp through the combined speaker terminal connection. If you... | |
| Delos Loading I have heard that HP from the Absolute Sound will only listen to cartridges at the 47k ohm setting. I guess with the equipment he uses, he can get away with that. But isnt that what you get if you use a step up transformer into a regular MM phono ... | |
| Benz Ebony LP or Lyra Delos ? The Lyra Delos is the best cartridge I have heard in my system. My taste in music is similar to yours. I have used an Ortofon Kontrapunkt B, which is similar to a Cadenza. It is also very good for our type of music. I havent listened to a Benz Lp,... | |
| what did you purchase after PS AUDIO GCPH PHONO? I also have a simaudio Lp5.3 with outboard power supply, but I kept the GCPh for my den system. I like the easy adjustments on the GCPH for testing multiple cartridges, and with remote volume, phase and mono, I run it straight into my Nobis Contig... | |
| Information on setting cartridge loading cartridge loading changes on MC cartridges typically affect the high frequencies, so listen for excess brightness and work from there. Some people like MCs loaded at 47k, just like MM cartridges. | |
| DIY TT Stand on concrete floor - I'm confused I would couple to the concrete floor with spikes, rather than sit on a pad and carpet. You want as ridgid a support as possible. |
