| Shoot-out Klyne 7xp3.5 vs IO Signature Thank-you, Syntax, for your observations.Lewm,I have certainly had the Futterman in the line-up. Funny, even with this 40year old + piece of equipment you can see very clearly in to the illusion. It is uncanny. The Futterman is grainy but suits th... | |
| Shoot-out Klyne 7xp3.5 vs IO Signature Care to elaborate Syntax?Additonally, how would you describe the Phantom vs. Triplanar, vs. Grandenza from a practicality, robustness and tone perspective?Looking for a new arm on the 301.. thanks, | |
| Shoot-out Klyne 7xp3.5 vs IO Signature Lewm,I should really post my system. For now:· Oracle V· SME V· Garrard 301 here: http://gallery.audioasylum.com/cgi/view.mpl?u=127&f=DSC00407.JPG&v=f&UserImages=127&session=&&moniker=AJ&invite=&w=675&h=506· Koe... | |
| Shoot-out Klyne 7xp3.5 vs IO Signature Hello,I've had the Klyne for a little while and actually have been too busy to report back. The Io has a sense of stage space and air that is expansive it's lowest resgisters on my system are slightly plump. The top end of the Io does not sound un... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I have the Io sig with volume controls. I run a Koestu at supposedly .2mV There is no tube rush here. Of course, I had selected tubes put in the front end and was careful in doing so. Additionally, the unit is one of later production so this may h... | |
| has anyone else heard the wyetech ruby mono block I bought my Topaz 211-C I about 2 1/2 years ago. I saw Roger Hebert's prototype laser etched chassis plates and transformers for the Ruby at that time. It has taken him a long while to bring them to market.If they better the Topaz they are quite s... | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? Thanks for the replies so far,I think I may trick out the Garrard and see where it goes. I'll probably sell the loser and re-evaluate. This might take a while... Nkj | |
| Revamp Garrard 301, keep Oracle V or move along? Thanks Mike,I was hoping you might chime in. You certainly have a admirable main system that I have envied for some time.With the addition of the Garrard and Technics you have a perspective that most of us will never get close to. I understand wha... | |
| Anyone ever use the Goldmund Reference Mat ? Btw,Forgot to mention Nsgarch is right. The Goldmund mat was not intended to couple via the sorborothane mat. The Goldmund mat originally had a paper backing that peeled off to reveal a sticky surface that was then applied to the platter. If the s... | |
| Anyone ever use the Goldmund Reference Mat ? I've used one of these on my Oracle (now a Mk V) for about 20years. It's Goldmund Relief Mat made of Metacrylate. It does in fact have a concave "relief" to it for the label area and its impedance is supposed to match that of viynl. I tossed the s... | |
| Koetsu vs Dynavector Well like everyone else here my opinion is worth a cup of coffee when you throw in $1.00.I have an Oracle V with turbo supply, IO signature with two supplies and volume controls and use USA monitors and PK 57 ESLs. So our systems share some simili... | |
| Transformer-coupled tube phono pres Look up Audio Tekne's top end units... | |
| Best Canadian Made Whiskey Wiser's Special deluxe... I much prefer over CC or Crown Royal... try it! | |
| Early Quad II With Giant Power Xformer? A picture would help. However, its not uncommon to see aftermarket power transformers on a quad II as the iron is the weakest link on these amps. | |
| 211 tube integrated choice Viva Solista...get your wallet out.. You give no indication of your budget. There may be something Chinese out there too. |
