| do moving coil cartridges have a finite life-span? Eventually most rubber or polymers will harden, but i have a Van Den Hul Frog that is 12 yrs old and it still is very good with no apparent sag or issues. | |
| Is it the speakers? guys, thanks for the response. I will be upgrading the amplifier for my analog and digital music so i will give an update soon for that change. When you think you have gotten all, damn is something significant doesnt make you realize there is more... | |
| Is it the speakers? thanks for the responses. I know with the Maplenoll apollo/Universe combo (i have the artisan phono stage) the analog input is pretty solid. I am looking at a better amplification to upgrade that part of the chain. I think know the speakers are se... | |
| A moving story Audio Physics Caldera II thanks, i have looked at the quicksilver when i was looking for tube for my khorns. George merrill auditioned one for me with his speakers and table. very sweet. This will give me some ideas to look at. One of our stores in Indy will allow a home ... | |
| A moving story Audio Physics Caldera II z--again, thanks for the info. i do know the new drivers i installed are still burning in. I have about 15 hours on them. One curiousity question about the power level of the Marantz. This is an older AV reciever, but it was their largest power ra... | |
| A moving story Audio Physics Caldera II grantThanks for the info. On some material, the bass response is too much and i will try inverting the bass module. Not sure i can ease these into the room too much as the room is set up as a home theater also. I will experiment to see how much i ... | |

| A moving story Audio Physics Caldera II timrhu--thanks for the welcome, are you in Indy? nice system. those tempo's look great. Z--thanks for the reminder, sometimes we forget these components need some burn time. | |
| 7.1 speaker placement i had a tight room but was able to place them behind. But balancing sound was very tricky. What about inwall? gives you a little room. | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus agree with the posts about Magic eraser. If you want proof, look under strong magnifying glass or microscope before and after cleaning. it will do the trick. it is the best stylus cleaner around IMO | |
| Local Cinema black level quality vs home Projector black level is key but you have to have the contrast so those dark scenes are not invisible. my first projector was a marantz which at the time was one of the best for black levels. Light control was key but it was fantastic. two moves later and a... | |
| Zyx Artisan with what Cartridge? the artisan is a solid phono preamp. I have used a sumiko pearl, Van Den Hul Frog, airy3 and Universe with the artisan. Obviously its a solid state vs tube but any low output up to high output cartridge should work ok | |
| ZYX R100 Yatra i have the Airy3, UNIverse, (both silver coils vs Copper), Van Den Hul Frog, Sumiko Pearl, and a couple of Ortofon MM cartridges. I have a Maplenoll Apollo and Ariadne signature set up right now that i routinely use. My experience is the Soundstag... |
