| Need Help on my ML 26 I have a 26s and I maybe I can help you but first: Is this "problem" something that just happened (all was OK before?) or did you just notice it?Neil. | |
| Transfiguration:sonic balance/Axia shares Phoenix Tp - responding in reverse, "Do you feel that the Phoenix' sound is completely different than the Orpheus-no family resemblance?" I'd say an 'educated' yes they would be different sounding. Why? They'd have to sound different having such radically... | |
| Transfiguration:sonic balance/Axia shares Phoenix Well, this probably won't help much because I never owned a JA cartridge -- and though the Eco is his "entry level" product, I find it hard to believe it isn't as good or better than the Phoenix or the Axia. The Temper V, W, and Orpheus are anothe... | |
| Are ML CLS speakers a match with SS BAT amps? I have repeatedly read comments in forums that you generally give up something in bass tightness, definition and impact when a tube amp is used as compared to a SS amp. Undoubtedly, these people are not doing EVERYTHING ELSE right, or that would n... | |
| Are ML CLS speakers a match with SS BAT amps? Dchazen, the CLS should be able to provide excellent bass down to its design limits as I mentioned - and that's regardless of amp type as long as the amp is a 100W+ toobie (with a damping factor greater than 14) or a 150W+ SS. And it's good that y... | |
| Are ML CLS speakers a match with SS BAT amps? Dchazen, "bass" is something a CLS just won't do no matter what amp you use, tube, SS, ML, ARC, Pass, BAT, Mac. Its bass response starts to fall off at around 60 - 70Hz and is down by half at 40Hz and completely gone by 30Hz. So when you say "I tr... | |
| Are ML CLS speakers a match with SS BAT amps? About 5 years ago, starting with the Summit, MartinLogan introduced their first powered hybrid. A hybrid is a combination of both electrostatic panel and cone woofer. A 'powered' hybrid has a built in Class D SS amp just for the woofers.Previous (... | |
| An easier way to set VTF/VTA/SRA? Perhaps.... Tom, I always wondered exactly HOW people (who cared to ;-) actually measured cantilever angle. One dare not risk damage to the cartridge by trying to put an instrument of some kind near the delicate cantilever mechanism while the stylus is restin... | |
| An easier way to set VTF/VTA/SRA? Perhaps.... Dertonarm, I never question the reports of others' personal experience(s) except in those (extremely rare) instances when I've had the same experiences only with quite different outcomes ;-)I also think people need to be careful when assuming cert... | |
| An easier way to set VTF/VTA/SRA? Perhaps.... Tom, you have the sequence reversed. There should be no tail-chasing ;-) ! You first MUST wait 50 hours (100 if you can stand it) until the suspension is settled in; a term I prefer to broken(!?) in ;-)And forget some manufacturers' claims (like I... | |
| An easier way to set VTF/VTA/SRA? Perhaps.... I wish I could agree with more of what everyone is saying, but most of it is wishful thinking. For instanceI assume that the stylus is properly mounted to the cantilever and that the manufacturer knows the angle of the cantilever when the stylus i... | |
| An easier way to set VTF/VTA/SRA? Perhaps.... Tom -- finding true vertical for a line or micro-ridge stylus, as I outlined, is actually quite easy, and many people have done it with great results once it was explained. And there are only three stylus geometries, if what you mean by "geometrie... | |
| An easier way to set VTF/VTA/SRA? Perhaps.... "WCA"? Do we really need another acronym? What you appear to be talking about is finding the VTF (within the manufacturer's prescribed range) which will put the plane of the coil windings (basically the plane of the coil former) at a right angle t... | |
| Need to vent tube heat? Bot -- thanks for the links. It looks like manufacturers are starting to catch up with the needs of the market ;-)- Neil. |
