| 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... | |
| Cleaning the equipment Sorry for not keeping this worthy thread awake - busy with other things.Yes cat hairs are a nuisance - really no good for pickups riding low in the track, like my Lyra titan i, according to the debate about how some reviewers had it far too straig... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Chris -- I sold my Krell FPB600 and bought used Atmasphere MA-1 monoblocs here at A-gon, and got them upgraded at the factory. Although this was quite a change, and I was missing the bass at first (needed burn-in), I have not looked back. I am ver... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse RE Io best output: XLR / balanced output sounded best with my Krell. I have not tested much with my new tube monos. Io input (from pickup) is perhaps also best served by balanced cable? I have only used RCA / single ended (Kimber KCAG). Comments?O... | |
| Aesthetix IO Eclipse Re: "careful evaluation in my own home".I could not agree more. Of course, this is the ideal. However, it cannot always be done. Especially when you move to a top level, and live in a peripheral place, e g Norway. So one has to make informed (hope... |
