| Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps +1 waltersalas. PS Hopefully the OP did not just order cheapo cables! | |
| Change it or Defend it, where is your stereo at? Happy with system(s). I do wish I had a better space than the basement. But it sounds so much better on concrete. Some day. | |
| LP12 Hum Best to meter out the connections from disconnected cartridge pins to RCA plugs. | |
| Toolshed Amps 300b Stereo Amp Nice read on PTA. I enjoyed this in particular: >> "What I hear is what I might describe as “fast bloom.” Have you ever seen one of those time-lapsed videos of a flower bud transcending into a full-on blossom? Think that, but speed it up ... | |
| LP12 Hum It could only have been that if you think about it! Dump the arm, the LP12 deserves better. It was the internal wiring of the tonearm | |
| LP12 Hum If you have a separate ground wire from the Linn to the phono preamp, try removing it. The Rega arm has a strapped ground in the left channel and a separate ground causes a ground loop. | |
| Tired of all the gimmicky pricing, i.e. $999.99 or $927 Anything .95 or .99 is pathetic. What would enlightened folks from the future think about pricing something for $3999 in the hopes of fooling the customer's mind that it isn't four big ones? | |

| Looking for a cartridge upgrade Lyra Delos for more dynamics in the same ballpark? Next step up, if you have a dealer to assist set up, Linn Kandid for more of everything the Krystal has. | |
| Why People Like Tekton @tomic601 Jim, I'm sure it sounds amazing! Agree with the general consensus that you can have lots of detail, as long as it's not ear-searingly bright. i don’t think my reference system gives up much detail in service of the music | |
| Why People Like Tekton You might be surprised. Fast attack time of Decca and Quad ESL57s is not cloth eared mellow! 😉 | |
| Why People Like Tekton @tomic601 Respectfully, I disagree that "hyper detail" is distortion. Low noise floor, responsive electronics, and light diaphragms help. none hyper detailed as that leading edge exaggeration is distortion… | |
| Speaker placement With 23 feet to play with, you’ve got to be able to find another 12-24". Considering that John Atkinson found the Impact Monitor and Enzo to have lower sensitivity, I’d bet the Lore is not 98dB. "My estimate of the Impact’s sensitivity was 87.5d... | |
