| Sub best at high crossover? OK folks, I am back in the fold. That is, I've changed speakers, I now have bipoles that go lower down in frequency, and have found that the sub now sounds best with the crossover at 40 hz or so. There is a plus and a minus, and what is most impor... | |
| Lyra Titan i - in focus? I recently did a comparison of the Titan i and the Ortofon Cadenza, in my arm and system. Very illuminating. The Cadenza sounded great, yet it is also understandable that the Titan is more costly. Potentially it offers more information. Although t... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? Dbphd - I fail to see what is silly about asking about other users' experiences, or what this has to do with magical thinking. As others here have commented, there are often several ways to do it, much depends on the room, etc. And do you find it ... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? Since no-one has posted a DD-18 listening experience similar to mine, I wonder if it is partly caused by local circumstances, like the bass suckout in the middle of my room, and also because the effect is subtle, there is a give and take. I have m... | |
| Lyra Titan i - in focus? Thank you for interesting information. I've found that I have to twist the pickup to the right (seen from front) in the SME shell to sound its best, and to appear best judging from optical adjustment with different protractors too. Is this in line... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? No one disagrees? Other impressions? | |
| Lyra Titan i - in focus? Peterayer - this is very interesting. In my case I have always felt that the Titan (and earlier Lyras) had to be shifted slightly to the right, seen from the front of the record player. With the SME V arm, you cannot change much, but I took the fr... | |
| Lyra Titan i - in focus? Thanks Peterayer. Did the Mint protractor measurement make you move the arm forwards or backwards in the base compared to the SME protractor? | |
| Sub best at high crossover? Here are my considerations so far. First of all, it would be nice if more users of well-placed DD-18 subs (or similar) in fairly large rooms would chime in with their actual listening experiences in this debate. What I hear in a situation with a g... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? Thanks a lot, all of you! This is getting informative, more soon. | |
| Lyra Titan i - in focus? Thank you, Jfrech and Syntax. I agree with your comments. My arm may not be the best but it should be good enough, the SME V. I fully agree with you Syntax, the Titan i is so good that tweaks continue to amaze. For example, I got considerable impr... | |
| Sub best at high crossover? Thanks for response. Wolf_garcia - I usually do trust my ears, thanks, but sometimes I am not quite sure, especially when the case is not so clear, plus it goes against the accepted rules...so thats why I am asking.Tonyangel - agree, directionalit... | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Aesthetix Io Eclipse is not about to depart my home. | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Update: I ended up selling my speakers and amp. I now use tube monoblocs with less demanding speakers, and enjoy it. | |
| Aesthetix Io strange behaviour Update: I am very happy with the Eclipse upgrade. Although it took a long time to burn in, it now sounds remarkably good. I have never heard a better preamp/phone stage. I had to get a new tube set from Aesthetix since the first one was noisy, but... |
