| How many with analog rigs only? I'm still an all vinyl fan after begun with it 44 years ago. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Al: I'm not a technically oriented person, but your point of possible loading mismatch is well taken. Internally, the EAR 88PB has two different settings via a switch: 4 and 40. With the transformer's input, 4 is applicable for cartridges indicati... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Many of the sounds I hear at a live orchestral concert seem to speak with an effortless and supple voice. There is a more complex and complete sense of richness and ambient tonality. I often hear a more fluid, freer kind of presentation with violi... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge John...Ha Ha, but OUCH!!! You reminded me of the time I blew out a channel in one of my costly Benz cartridges, but I won't get into details about that! I find one of your comments above very soothing: "...you just saved a bundle of $$$." If only ... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge I'm a bit embarrassed. It took me a while to connect the BBs in my brain to realize that simply making changes with my new tonearm's VTA adjustment dial(never had one of those before) was not enough. I needed to grab and physically move the entire... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Pani...You might be interested in going to the site known as 10 Audio and reading Jerry Siegel's detailed reviews of the Miyajima Shilabe and Miyajima Kansui cartridges. I found them quite interesting. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge John...At no time in this thread have I sensed you've tried "...to push a Zyx on [me]". As always, I enjoy reading your comments and taking in your impressions and insights. Plus, I appreciate your delineating the differences between some of the v... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge John...I seem to recall the bass performance of that copper Airy 3 I had left a bit to be desired. Some of the comments I've read from a few other Zyx owners(depending on the particular model)have also indicated bass reproduction was not a particu... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Wrm...I once owned a high output, copper wired Zyx Airy 3. Found it a bit too "hot" sounding and ultimately fatiguing. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Your comments might be right on the mark, John. And of course the required changes brought about by different, newly introduced equipment is always fun :-}. Kind thanks to you and others here for the recommendations. Based on what I've read about ... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Or the Miyajima Shilabe ? | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Hey John...I had been using the Dynavector XV-1S with my former SME IV.Vi tonearm, but quit when the suspension collapsed. I replaced the XV-1S with a Dynavector XX-2, which despite being over $3000 less than the 1S, sounds amazingly similar to it... | |
| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Go for the Verastarr Grand Illusion copper cord. They retail for $1795, but you can find one easily for half that price or less if you keep checking on Audiogon. It is a terrific cord in so many respects, and it has what you're looking for too. I ... | |
| Why does my system sound so shrill and distorted? Check and experiment with your anti-skating. I recently dealt with a problem sounding similar to what you describe, and wouldn't have believed anti-skating could be the culprit, until I found out it actually was. | |
| Cable synergy for EAR Yoshino products. I own the EAR 88PB phono preamp. The Purist Proteus Provectus constitutes a superb complimentary match. |
