| Clearaudio Maestro vs. Lyra Delos To me, the Lyra is better in every way. Not hugely better in any one area, but better overall in the areas that matter to me. | |
| Duped again I do purchase re-issues of certain classic rock and early jazz albums. The classic rock because my originals have become worn or noisy, the jazz because I didnt listen in my early years and have now developed a liking. Also, is it cheaper to buy a... | |
| Upgrade tonearm Sota often uses and recommends SME. There are no dealers around me. I was hoping to get input from actual Cosmos owners who have had good experiences with something other than an SME. | |
| Multi Arm Table One of the Transrotor tables might fit you needs. I have a Fat Bob,which will accept 2 arms. Other Transrotors will accept 3 arms. The Transrotor sounds great, wonderful build quality, and probably less than your Basis. A little hard to find on th... | |
| New Lyra Delos Cartridge Maybe something else in your system. However, I do load my Delos at the lowest load my phono preamps are capable of. I use a PS audio GCPH and Simaudio LP5.3. | |
| Not your everyday bookshelf speaker? Bookshelf and efficient with any kind of bass is somewhat mutually exclusive. The NHT Classic 3 is an excellent bookshelf speaker, but only about 89 db efficient, which isnt bad but it sounds like you are looking for more. So why not try powered s... | |
| Help with my analog rig. I assume your toneam is grounded to the preamp and you have tried it without it being grounded to see if there is a change. Do you have the ability to plug your preamp into a different outlet from the tonearm or amp? One that is on a different cir... | |

| I am set on all but speakers, need advice on those I think for your tastes, Sonus Faber is a very good choice. You might look into their TOY model, and if you want more bass, their TOY tower. If you can find them used, the Liuto is a great option. Another option is PSB Synchrony B monitors, or Ima... | |
| Bi-amp question I was trying to resolve the same issue with my PSB Stratus Gold speakers by trying to use a tube amp on top with a SS amp for the bass. Had difficulties with gain matching and other issues as well, but gain matching is the 1st thing that pops up, ... | |
| Oracle Delphi Mk I motor and PS upgrades Have you tried the speed adjustment screws either on the back of the motor mount or on the left side of the front speed selector mount? You should be able to get some speed adjustment from those. | |
| TT Suggestions Sota Star Sapphhire III for about $700 used, Sumiko ft3 or 4 arm for $400 or less. Dynavector Karat 23r for $400 and McCormack Micro Phono for $350. There, you have a great system for just under $2000 grand. Spend another %50 or so for a tonearm c... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp I am very interested in hearing more about the Fosgate phono preamp. I too am using a SimAudio LP5.3 with upgraded power supply. It will be feeding a newly acquired Musical Fidelity NuVista M3 integrated amplifier into either PSB Stratus Gold or S... | |
| LP12 owners: Anyone try the Tiger-Paw Khan yet? Yes, the Oracle Delphi. | |
| Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference Part of the purpose of a magnetic bearing is not just to isolate, but to relieve the load on the bearing. That way you get the benefit of a heavy platter without the problem of excess weight on the bearing which could create wear and noise. I have... |
