| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's Tweak I did not say anything about the Marantz. Never heard one and do not care to. My CD transport is an upsampling computer. All my CDs and downloads are in high res on a hard drive. The best transport is no transport. To my knowledge "cuz" is n... | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? Oh Uberwaltz there is absolutely nothing funny about Freon. In making comments like that you just demonstrate your ignorance on the topic. Freon is a large molecule. All you have to do is keep the top on and very little will escape. If you want to... | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? Benjie, Freon is now a very loose term. There are many types that have different vapor pressures. Chlorofluorocarbons are also used as solvents not just refrigerants. They have a unique smell, the smell of Last products and cleaning agents like br... | |
| What's your definition of analog smell? My fathers old tube Ampex RTR. I use to watch my father with great interest demagnetizing the thing. What a ritual. The Stereo 70 and HH Scott Preamp and Tuner were all mounted in a custom wood cabinet that was oiled. So after about an hour of pla... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review Lewm, if you add effective mass you lower the resonance frequency. You can prove that to yourself with a good test record. Below the resonance frequency the bass drops of rapidly. Koetsus require a heavy arm. They perform best with a resonance fr... | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor It is just a frequency response thing. If you had room control you could make the woofer sound the same and be more efficient and probably go even lower. If you have control of frequency response on the floor or in a corner is always going to be b... | |
| Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price) I personally do not find this useful as price is only a very loose indicator of performance. Those that believe that money buys performance in audio are sadly mistaken. | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? Dyslexic geofkait? Viridian, If you get yourself the right seat at an acoustic jazz concert there is great imaging. The problem with any electrified concert is you are listening to the speakers not the musicians.You are only going to perceive imag... | |
| Does anyone have any impressions about the Aphex Sound Exciter ? Wolf did you mean nitrous? I wonder what happens when you improve your signal to noise ratio? | |
| MartinLogan Subwoofers- Don't Overlook Them! I really like the fact that you can make adjustments from the listening chair. It make comparison much easier. Can you sync the woofers so that you can make the same adjustment to both woofers simultaneously? That would really be the nuts! | |
| Benz Micro Ace SH - retip worth it? That would certainly prevent me from buying a top of the line Benz not that I am a big Benz fan. I actually have never listened to one that I know of. But imaging spending 16K on a Clearaudio or a Koetsu and not being able to get the cartridge reh... | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? That's right viridian. In most modern electrified concerts there is not any imaging. But in smaller venues there may be like a jazz club, a choir in a church or a symphony orchestra will have wonderful imaging and loads of ambiance. A string quart... | |
| Amp sound occasional momentary cut out Lights stay on so it is not the power cord or fuse. It would only be a power supply tube or tubes none of the others. I assume it does it with all your sources? Say turntable and CD player? A protection circuit could do that via a relay but you wo... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review It is a felt pad you place under the cartridge with felt washers that go under the screw heads on the opposite side of the head shell. If you tighten it up firmly it is going to do nothing. Depending how loosely you tighten the screws down it migh... | |
| Thoughts on extending speaker life. Nothing will help foam surrounds. Keep the speakers out of direct sunlight. Meguire's #40 is a rubber treatment with a UV absorbent in it. You can treat butyl rubber surrounds once a year. |
