| Great Music/Bad Vinyl - 2010 Edition Yeah, I know about the 45RPM version, but I only found out after I bought the 33RPM (!). I agree, there is a lot of complexity happening, but there's a lot of complexity in a Mahler symphony and I have a few of those that sound stunning. Decent so... | |
| 2010 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet I think Kevin is marketing his new fully differential phono amp and line stage under the Sonus Veritas name, and not the K&K moniker. I am looking forward to (finally) meeting Kevin. See you all there! | |
| Great Music/Bad Vinyl - 2010 Edition Yup, too bad about the Phosphorescent (I tried to warn you but alas too late). Easily my pick for poorest vinyl transfer of 2010. The Analogue Productions release of Yes' Fragile has to be one of the most sterile transfers ever done - all the soun... | |
| EAR 834P Phono Pre I find it rather warm, tubey and lossy. If you are looking for tonal accuracy, dynamics and a lack of euphony, I'd look elsewhere. It's not that it's a bad unit, in fact it is very listenable but its flaws are easily exposed in the right company. ... | |

| Adjusting SRA using macro lens vs microscope So gentlemen, what did you think of the A90? | |
| K & K phono pre compasison Wrm57,Wait until you hear the latest mods in the K&K - frankly, they're amazing, though you'll have to wait 100+ hours of actual playing time for the new JFET to come around and tame itself. If there is any downside, it may be the fact that th... | |
| Cartridge Output Level Question He'll need either an "MC" setting/switch or a step-up transformer going into a receiver (most of which are based around the premise of using a MM cartridge where the output voltage is 10-12 greater than a typical MC). In other words, a typical MM ... | |
| suggestions on small footprint phono stages The Audio Electronic Supply PH-1 (6.5" W)(now discontinued) is a pretty nice sounding tubed unit with a half-rack width. The Artemis is larger than it looks (8.5" W)(the PL-1 is for MC, the PH-1 for MM) but is also quite nice. A Tom Evans Microgro... | |

| Remember the Electric Light Orchestra Why not just buy some nice clean used copies of the ELO LPs you desire - they're common enough and for the most part sound pretty good too. While they may not be the last word in extension or detail, I find them quite musically involving - an arti... | |

| Dynavector XV-1s loading question. Thank you Jonathan for furthering our collective thinking on the subject; yet more food for thought. Thank you Thom and Al for nudging resonance a bit more forward as it relates to this topic - now we know just how much of a "tuned circuit" the wh... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s loading question. I've played around with loading quite a bit (though not on an XV-1S), trying loading on the primary vs. the secondary, various types of load resistors, different SUTs, etc. It's all guesswork in my opinion, and completely system dependent. When I'... |
