| Paul McGowan's (PS Audio) autobiography -- "99% True" now available for $4.99 on Kindle I finished the book a few days after my last post. This is a really good story with many laugh-out-loud moments. Hard to put down and very insightful into what it takes to make a success of going for it. But it is so much more than that. It’s not ... | |
| Buzzing through speaker's tweeters - PrimaLuna Dialogue Two Integrated AS @newbee said, check cartridge headshell and tonearm wires. Phono ground and power to turntable for any grounding issues. Also ensure there is no routers, wireless or cable boxes close to the amps. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 Tricky! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Preservation Hall Jazz Band - New Orleans (1977 CBS/Columbia)Fantastic music. Wonderful recording. In the room with you. | |
| VM540ML cartridge - what phono preamp is a good match You may simply be getting more of The Truth from the transducer than you were. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Tom Waits & Crystal Gayle - One From the Heart (1982 CBS)Great album with some reference-grade songs. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Al Stewart - Past, Present & Future (1973 CBS)Fairground Attraction - The First of a Million Kisses (1988) Gem of an album. I played the US RCA and UK BMG versions expecting the American version to be an inferior version. Well the pressing was... | |
| VM540ML cartridge - what phono preamp is a good match Yes. Google 834 clone and read artofsound forum.DG tend to be a little "hot".If you can’t lower your Rega arm, try a 1mm shim between cartridge and headshell to change the VTA slightly. This can help tame the AT. | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities @georgehifi I didn't see your post just before mine covering the same thing. Hate when that happens. Even improving the source can make the amp and therefore the speakers sound better. | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 @mijostyn No. Stu Remmington rebuilds. Chokes, fixed bias, film bypass/PIO caps and triode input. I have another pair of recapped originals. | |
| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities @br3098 Not necessarily true. The amplifier's ability to control the motors of the speakers is critical. | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 I run 57s (with grills off) on 20" stands with 1960s EICO push-pull tube amps and they can go pretty loud and sound magnificent. I’m not sure why but in my set-up they sound better than all speakers I’ve ever heard at shows (for what they do - the... | |
| if you did buy the new schiit sol....... Why not? Schiit did. I used have a $1500 Decca SG on my first idler, an old, original $700 Garrard 401. With amazing results. Nevertheless, I’d always advise to get the table in order first as a general rule. | |

| Moving Iron Carts or stick with LOMC Glen, fair enough. Apologies for reiterating this upgrade advice. The 850 is transformative when you've used 750s and CA$1500 not $2-3k. Add PH Sien's bearing at $230 inc s/h to your wish list!You might look at a Decca/London Gold with a Decapod.... |
