| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. I sent the Yamamoto headshell back to Amazon. There was no letting it break in or testing with other cartridges. It just didn’t work for me. I wish you could have heard the difference. I once sat in on a show demo of a dull and overly bassy system... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @lewm Yes, Lew! The Boston Mat2 robbed the music of all life and drive. I am finding the reactions of you and @hdm somewhat disconcerting. The decrease in detail is completely apparent. I cannot imagine how anyone could like either the BM2 mat or ... | |
| Slight Hardness on LP's I’d avoid using a tone control. It seems like a band aid. Elizabeth’s suggestion of hardwood blocks may help. Support materials are critical. You could also try different platter mats. Cork or leather may help. Try out various home made testers to... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @hdm I did read your review recently. I have no idea! Maybe it's a Decca thing with its high energy feeding into the shell and arm (despite being in a Decapod). The difference was not subtle. Fine detail was missing on the Yamamoto. Most likely ... | |
| Deleted all posts and responses Probably!As in, "You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you" | |
| Please Make Audiogon Cool Engineers ARE cool. So are audiophiles. And so too are scientists, activists, biologists, and musicians. Intelligence and knowledge always beats lack and ignorance. | |
| Audio Show.... @roberttcan Thanks for the write-up. Look, it's either good or it's not good, no matter what the room. | |
| Deleted all posts and responses Really annoying and selfish. It's messing up threads. I can only think it's malicious.@Admin Why not lock posts after an hour? Day? | |
| Atma-Sphere MP-3 Mk. 3.3 vs. VAC CPA-1 MK II or Avatar Super - Recommendations @hitsofmisses Agreed. However, the reason I suggested the Schiit passive (it has an active JFET option) was because you only have two high-level sources which could be fed into power amp(s). You do not necessarily need a massive preamp or an integ... | |
| Atma-Sphere MP-3 Mk. 3.3 vs. VAC CPA-1 MK II or Avatar Super - Recommendations Why not use a passive/active switching pre like the Schitt Saga? | |
| Please Make Audiogon Cool I was talking with a ham radio Nazi and he didn’t see the cell phone as a logical extention.....When I'm in an extreme analog and tube moment, I feel the same about DSP reissues and streaming. | |
| Please Make Audiogon Cool I had a boss once who was so ugly, he passed out business cards at bars offering his friendship and walks on the beach. We found a stash of them during an office clear out in an enormous box of french letters. | |
| Your thoughts about an upgrade I am curious though about where your Rega P3 is located in a corner and if it will be subject to acoustic feedback. | |
| Your thoughts about an upgrade Great advice above. Or you could simply add a REL S3 SHO and dial it in so it's just audible (you don't want to overpower the room) and also be amazed for a lot less effort. |
