| help hooking up electrostatics 2 sets at a time You didn't say, but if you're using a pair of speakers together for L and for R (like people used to do with the original Quad ESLs), you might consider hooking each pair together in series. That would protect the amp and not screw up the frequenc... | |

| How accurate is the Geo-Disc cartridge alignment ? I used my SME (V) template for years (15) but felt I was missing something, so when I recently got a new Transfiguration Temper W, I decided to invest in the (tried and true) DB alignment protractor. What a difference!Adios SME.. | |
| Cartridge for SME IV.V Eso -- I don't know the MSRP for a Dominus phono, a Venustas is $1800. However they are both available new for the following prices:Venustas-$1150.00 Dominus w/Ferox-$3300.00I'm using a Venustas with my SME V / Tranny W, and the sound is quite spe... | |
| ZYX Universe, Dynavector XV-1s, vdH Colibri, ?? Interesting cartridges to compare. Wish the experiment had been more apples-to-apples across the board in terms of output, appropriate loading, and proper setup. | |

| Is the Bi-wire really that bad? I don't think this issue will ever be resolved. The one thing you can defonitely say for bi-wire configuration is that you are making the "pipe" between your amp and speaker twice as big. | |
| Cartridge for SME IV.V The IV.V has ribbon internal wiring (both for high conductivity and minimal bearing interference) and was designed specifically for MC cartridges -- especially of the low output variety (although certainly not exclusively.)Very high end Koetsu, Tr... | |
| Interaction between Sub XO and Amp? The high pass (to your main amp) is typically applied before the sub's amp. However, the high pass is still another device between the preamp and main amp, so you're dependent on it's quality (although it's just a capacitor, but how good?.) Furthe... | |
| Tone arm cable for SME V Demeter, I would like to do what you did (using the Granite Audio phono burn-in CD) and make (buy?) a male DIN to male RCA adapter, so I can include my Purist phono cable in the burn-in process.Could you explain how you made the adapter (or where ... | |
| Direct Drive Turntable plays slightly too fast Elizabeth, did you read the second post? | |
| Comparing Virtual Dynamics and Tranparent Audio Fplanner, your experience or experiments may have led you to your particular conclusions. Mine have led elsewhere.My conclusion about power cords (and I'm sticking to it) is that it's all about power transfer -- the higher and faster the better. I... | |
| Mark Levinson 25 vs 25s vs JC-2 Whoaru - the last time I bought the Camac adapters was about 18 months ago, so they've probably gone up like everything else. Thank God they didn't raise their minimum to $200!! If you need to make up a minumum order, get some of the shorted Camac... | |
| Direct Drive Turntable plays slightly too fast Also, remember to check/adjust the speed with a record playing. | |
| Mark Levinson 25 vs 25s vs JC-2 Hi Ken, Nice system. I would recommend the Wilson Benesch for good value. Sophia is not a good value. If you like the sound of Sophia better, then you should go for a Watt/Puppy, new or used.As for the knobs, I would email ML customer support dire... |
