| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Purist Audio Design Venustas cables -- the performance far exceeds the cost, and though they are expensive, they are still just this side of outrageous! If you can only affortd one, buy the phono cable :~) | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments RE: cartridge loading and stylus rake angle:Maybe the reason some of you are getting seemingly better response with the cartridge/arm at a negative angle is because that would compensate for the kind of non-linear response created when the cartrid... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments I'm loving this thread, everybody is being so civil and informative! Thanks Raul, Reb, Speedy, et al. I'd like to know what everyone has found to be the best loading for the Transfiguration series. I'm using 100 ohms with my W right now. It's a co... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Speedy, luuuvved your post! You can go on as long as you like, on any subject you please! I'll give the vertical setting a try once my W (or is that DUBya?) is broken in and let you know what I think. You implied that the instructions that came wi... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Raul, I will take your response as a "no." You can find descriptions of the Transfiguration generating system online. It is new and innovative. Based upon my understanding of electromechanical physics, it represents a more efficient way of produci... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Raul, do you know the design of the transfiguration generator and how it is different from the typical yoke generator? | |
| Quad vs. Martin Logan? I agree with linnlp12, and I'm going to add my two cents to that. First let me say that for me, "Martin Logan" means "CLS"! I think my CLSIIz system with just a single ML Depth crossed over at a mere 35Hz is the closest thing to audio nirvana I ev... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Hi speedy,I know all about vdH's customizing service, and I think it's great (he reconfigured my Frog Gold for my arm and phono preamp.) But I think that the Transfig Temper is simply a better design (and build) than the vdH's. Just the diamond on... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Reb -- sounds like you have (and will have) good support components. Why don't you post your system here when you get a little further?Just for your and Speedy's info, I checked my Transfig W stylus position (in the groove) under high power magnif... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Reb -- that's interesting, I didn't know the newer materials were being used in the V, although it just makes sense when you think about it. I was interested in your associated equipment though, if you want to share that info.Neil | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Reb -- congrats, another new Temper owner! Please stay in touch and give us your imprerssions. What kind of arm/tt/phono preamp? And current cart?Higher vs. lower output was an issue I wrestled with a bit. My system (it's posted here) is up to eit... | |
| Quad vs. Martin Logan? I'd listen to them both, but I bet you'll like the Matrin Logan products better -- plus they offer a choices in a wide range of prices.If you can afford it (about $10k/pair), wait until their new Summit is available and listen to them. I think you... | |
| Trans Temp W, Magic Diamond cartridges - comments Well, I went with a Transfiguration Temper W. Other candidates were: Allaerts, Colibri, Airy 3, Magic Diamond, and Shelter 90x. My decision was based on four points:1.) It appeared to have the best build quality. And the fit and finish turned out ... | |
| Signal or Transparent speaker cables??? If you are worried about "harsh", I suggest you avoid Signal Cable. Think abut one of the Level 3 Straightwire products (like Maestro) or mid-priced MIT or Audioquest product. | |
| Air line filter for air bearing arm When I had a Maplenoll TT, I used to get inline air filters at my local aquarium store. |
