| Current sensing phono stages w/Rega? @boothroyd 1+ The MSL Ultra Eminent EX has the lowest of them all at something like 0.8 ohms. @lewm , judging by my own experience, a cartridge over 10 ohms would have so little gain in current mode that the signal to noise ratio would be pretty ... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @lewm It was sort of iatrogenic. The processor was doing what it was programmed to do which was make the frequency response of the speaker flat. Because of that speaker's location there was a large dip in the high frequencies that the processor w... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @lewm Plitron is no more. It was bought out by Noratel Canada. They do have a custom transformer department and will design transformers for audio use in larger lots. I doubt they would just build two, but who knows. If I remember correctly the 1... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas , at $85K a pair I would hope so, but from a cost/performance ratio I will take the JC1+ any day. Is Meitner any better than John Curl? I do not know the answer to that question. At this point due to the reputation of the Atma-Sphere... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas , see, you already had it all figured out! The subwoofers not only add bass but they clean up the midrange! It is important for people to know that. You certainly have a system capable of life like performance. @lewm , I went back t... | |
| Field coil dava cartridge @rauliruegas , if not more! | |
| Is the seated-centered solo listening to music a dated tech? @johnk , you should look into Ambiophonics. Have fun?! | |
| Field coil dava cartridge @rauliruegas , The vapor deposition prosses they use to make the cantilever is not easy and requires very special and expensive equipment. I can not believe they would use it for only 60 examples. There will be more to come and probably at an even... | |
| Are advances in technology making speakers better? Manufacturers have to replenish their lines for marketing reasons alone. The technology has not significantly improved or even changed in decades. Spend your money only if you are looking at a significant upgrade in performance, otherwise keep s... | |
| A New MC to Catch One's Attention @pindac, You forgot the most important feature, the walnut storage case. It is an interesting cartridge from a very competent manufacturer. Now if they come up with an ultra low impedance version I will buy one. | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas , Back in the 80 ADS made what were arguably the best dynamic speakers on the market. The L2030s were landmark speakers in several respects. They used and active crossover and required bi amplification. They used a line source midran... | |
| System that sounds so real it is easy to mistaken it is not live @rauliruegas , I down loaded the article and will get back to you on it. Cool Loudspeakers for sure. | |
| Field coil dava cartridge @rauliruegas , I have no experience with an air bearing straight line tracker in a system with well tuned subwoofers so I can not say for sure but a vertical effective mass that is too low would explain that. A carriage driven straight line tracke... | |
| Considering Nagra Tube Dac with Power Supply or MSB Reference ? IMHO expensive DACS are a supreme waste of money. Look at commercial studio units. Their performance is just as good and the prices far more reasonable. They may not look as flashy but it is not about looks. A combination ADC/DAC is extremely adva... | |
| Current sensing phono stages w/Rega? @hleeid , Not at all. When Channel D adds the option of voltage mode operation it adds an entire new voltage mode board and you have a choice of quality. It is like having two separate phono stages that use the same RIAA correction board. Unless ... |
