| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo...Sure, I'm aware of what you're saying, and I do agree with you. And others'positive impressions about equipment will not necessarily guarantee the same for me or anyone else. We've all been through the mill, some more than others,with th... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Syntax: I just stole a peek at your audio system. Speaking about perfection..............!!! | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? David: Would I be correct in assuming your Ortofon arm has a pretty neutral sound? If so, yes I would imagine that combined with the Raven and Benz, it would provide a nice balance tonally speaking. I don't know what kind of music you mostly liste... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Suteetat...I'm curious about what type of arm material your Reed is made of. If it is wood, which type did you get? Also, is the arm internally wired with the C37 copper or silver, and do you have the copper or silver Eichmann Bullet ends or one o... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Dover: I really prefer to stick with only one tonearm, and lean toward the more compact Raven One. However, I do intend to think a little more about possibly staying with my SME IV.Vi. I just had the pros at SME in England rewire it with the very ... | |
| Reed tonearm w/ Raven One table-how's the match ? Vertigo: Unfortunately, getting the opportunity to audition this combination in my own system is as difficult as reversing Earth's rotation. | |

It's refreshing getting a direct answer about a component's sound rather than one ignoring or dodging it and advising, "why don't you try c... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV - What amp are you using? Hello again...I just caught these latest additions to this thread. No regrets: In response to your question about what other amps I've tried with my SC-4s, years back I recall using two Moscode 300 hybrid amps, one for each of the speakers. Prior ... | |
| SME V and Benz LP-S I initiated a thread on this subject entitled "Problem matching Benz LP-S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ?" on 4/19/10, in which Audioquest4life and I discussed this matter. At that time he indicated very good results using the LP-S with his SME V. You mig... | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem No one's necessarily leading him astray. I certainly agree with what you say about pinging sounds being heard routinely when one taps on preamp tubes, but crackling or ripping noises that come and go is fairly symptomatic of a problem with an amp'... | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem Incidentally, chances are all your amps' tubes are not bad. I've experienced loud crackling through a speaker several times before with just one of my six output tubes per monoblock being bad. | |
| Help Diagnose Tube Preamp Problem I agree with Marakanetz on both points, especially the loud crackling, which typically indicates a problem with amp output tubes. | |
| Whats the diff in these Synergistic Research cable Thanks, Zeal. I especially like your last statement. | |
| Whats the diff in these Synergistic Research cable Zeal...After noting your considerable background in both initiating and answering threads and your obvious familiarity in dealing with components, I wish to apologize for the manner in which I presented my closing remarks to you. I had automatical... | |
| Whats the diff in these Synergistic Research cable I've owned Resolution and Absolute Reference and have heard Designer's Reference. Among the newer generation, I've owned Tesla Accelerator and have heard Acoustic Reference. I'm going to generalize here and say from Resolution Ref to Absolute Ref ... |
