| recommendations of phono preamps < $3000 range I am selling a Klyne System 7 preamp with in-built MC/MM phono here on Agon but it is 240v unit.You could also look at Plinius Koru or a used Pass XP-15. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I totally agree with @chakster and others who say that ART-9 cannot be for everyone. I also agree that expecting an equipment that sounds awful in the beginning to blow you away later is not an easy argument to buy.Without showering any more prais... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @avanti1960 I may have missed it, could let us know your phonostage and the loading for the ART-9 ? Also, would you know the capacitance of your phonostage input ?Just keep it going for a month and come back to the comparison with your Dyna, it wi... | |
| Isolation Feet for Garrard 301 wood plinth @glennewdick, that plinth looks luxurious! Superb!I also use a Garrard 301 (restored by Loricraft) on a Birch ply plinth. I did not like the way it sounded isolated by squash balls or any such softer material. It sounded best properly coupled to t... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @sebrof the slight glare you hear is something I also heard. It will go away by 100 hours or so. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @audiolabyrinth As far as I have seen and used, the ART-9 should work well with most phonostages which has adequate gain of around 60db and loading option of 100-120 ohms. Which phonostage do you use ? | |
| Unison Research S6 vs S9 vs Sinfonia Hi mattam, I have tried both kt120 and kt150 but on push-pull designs. Among single ended designs which use non-DHT tubes, I have heard amps with EL84, Kt88 and 6550 tubes. To my ears it was very clear that Single ended designs clearly have a diff... | |
| Proac Response D 48/Tannoy Kensington Kensington is probably the only speaker in the Prestige line which can sound bright if not well matched with the amplifier. Proac sounds nice but not spectacular in any sense. Tannoys on the other hand can totally bowl you with their effortless pr... | |
| First Watt with KEF LS50s The F6 should easily drive it and sound wonderful | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @jcoehler I have tried the ART-9 on 3 different tonearms ranging from the weird 47 Labs RS-A1, Immedia and SME M2-12. My friends have it on Jelco 9" and the big Thomas Schick tonearms. It works well with all of these tonearms in my experience so I... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... BTW, I like Dynavector cartridges in general. The XV1s is a cart that I would like try some day. So, it should not be taken as my preference for AT over Dyna as a house sound. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @avanti1960 not just me but there are more people on this forum who have compared the ART-9 to the Dynavector XX2 and I personally have even heard the Dynavector Tai katora rua. The ART9 is in the league of $5k cartridges my friend. I suggest you ... | |
| Unison Research S6 vs S9 vs Sinfonia mattam, SETs especially with very low feedback have a way of sounding very convincing musically. With 18 watts you can run out of juice if you listen to very dynamic music very loud (especially in a big room) but within the regular listening level... | |
| Unison Research S6 vs S9 vs Sinfonia No mattam, I could not get much info on them. I am settling down on a pair of Audio Note Conquest Silver Signature SETs. Its 18 watts per channel and sounds very good with Turnberry | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... @oregonpapa Thanks for creating this thread and keeping it alive with valuable posts. Regarding the rising top end on MC carts, I experienced it drastically with Lyra and Van Den Hul carts and even though they were very dynamic and lively I could ... |
