| SOTA Cosmos and other models - lean sounding? Montaldo, I have owned SOTA tables since 1981. I currently have a Cosmos with a 4 Point 9 on it.To answer your questions,#1 Absolutely not.#2 No way to account. Too many variables. Bad system, bad ears, who knows. Put the two tables on the same sy... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Montaldo, I would get two of these, https://www.sleevecityusa.com/Antistatic-Record-Cleaning-Arm-p/tac-01.htmand wire them directly into your preamp. There is no way you can do better at near the price. These are truly giant killers.Mike | |

| static Issues...anybody know why? tzh21y, static is caused by rubbing, the stylus rubbing the groove. I can't see how an Ortofon stylus would rub a groove a whole lot differently than the Lyra stylus. The size of the stylus and the tracking force might make a difference. But, what... | |
| Tube life Right now my only tube piece is my phono amp which uses 6922s.What I care about most is noise. Roger Modjeski's Tube Audio Store tests all their tubes and hand selects them. They then sell them in grades. Their Super Low Noise 6922s were embarras... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr jd57, you learn something every day. The last time I saw ML-2s was around 1979. There were 6 of them driving the HQD system. That store supplied me with components for my clients 10% off and my own stuff at salesman's comp. Anyway, the HQD system ... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr select-hifi, the tiles are dirt cheap. They are very light. Just one drop of high viscosity cyano acrylate glue at each corner will hold them up. If you put them up alternating the direction of the fins they look pretty cool. Lay things out carefu... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? Easy. SoundLabs 845 $40,000 vs Magico Q7 $229,000. | |
| What do you consider "loud" for your system? Richmos, I listen to rock at 95 dB as measured (not guessing) all the time. That is a comfortably loud level and safe as long as you warm your ears up to it. With warmed up ears I will occasionally go louder. When I watch the Nine Inch Nails video... | |
| Tube life Darn millercarbon , you can't say stuff I agree with. It is not fair:) | |
| Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers Interesting problem. My guess is you are actually playing the Rockport louder for some reason probably a psycho acoustic issue. You would have to look at the frequency response vs the other speakers and compare actual sound pressure levels which i... | |
| Zyx R50 problem or not? You'd better hire an exorcist. | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr faxer, those look like someone from Apogee decided to start his own company. The construction is very similar.select hifi, If you have not already put some acoustic foam tiles on the wall directly behind the panels. I would think 2 wide and 3 high... | |
| speaker impeadance question Keith, yes it is likely that the speakers will sound brighter on the 8 ohm tap and it might also be more sibilant. Depends of your room. But you are not going to hurt anything running them on the 8 ohm tap. It is all about what sounds most natural... | |
