| VPI 3D tonearm Nevermind, I see it now. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Stringreen, I can't seem to find that post you started the other day. What happened to it? | |
| How long does it take you to install a cartridge? Dear Rauliruegas: ++++ " well, I think that that (save time. ) is very high trade off/"price " to pay against the cartridge quality performance level adjusted with the right azymuth: don't you think? ++++No, not necessarily, Raul, and here is why.... | |
| Ayre mx-r vs. Pass xa 60.5 If your XA60.5 is properly matched to your speaker load, I can't imagine you lack bass control. Some have described the X.5 as faster than the XA.5.My speakers are an extremely difficult load, so I decided to upgrade from the XA100.5 to the XA160.... | |
| New VPI 3D Arm The SME alignment system (mechanism) may be simplistic. It is also very well engineered. And for setting overhang, it is extremely effective, accurate and easy to use. I find the SME sled much easier to use than trying to slide a cartridge back an... | |
| How long does it take you to install a cartridge? My experience is about the same as Onhwy61's. Perhaps a bit longer when trying a new arm or alignment jig. I use the MINT LP arc-type protractor. Then it may take quite a while after that to fine tune and readjust cartridge loading and gain on the... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Here's a twist. As Dougdeacon so well reminds us, each record is different and styli shapes differ, so it is somewhat futile to fixate on the 92 degrees. However, out of curiosity, I did check to see how close my SRA is to 92 deg. when my arm is h... | |
| AMG V12 vs SME 20/12 The OP asked about the Brinkmann Bardo down the thread on 9/9/13. | |
| AMG V12 vs SME 20/12 Well, some people prefer direct drive to belt drive. It depends on the implementation. So, I'm not certain everyone will prefer the sound of the Balance to the Bardo. I have read that the tubed power supply is an improvement, though. | |
| JM Lab Nova Be or Eggleston andra 3 ? anyone? I have not heard the Andra 3, but can write that Eggleston and Pass work very well together. I used to own the Eggleston Rosa and Pass XA100.5. Eggleston used to show with Pass amps. Egglestons need a lot of good clean power to sound their best an... | |
| AMG V12 vs SME 20/12 Is there more than one version of the Bardo, or did you mean to ask about the top Brinkmann turntable? I have heard the Bardo in two systems as well as the Brinkmann Balance. I preferred the Balance. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Some companies do offer in-home trial periods. Reno HiFi does with Pass Labs electronics. No rental fee, just shipping costs. Some dealerships offer home trials on speakers for a fee. My friend is doing this now for an expensive, massive speaker s... | |
| AMG V12 vs SME 20/12 I kind of figured. I thought I would ask anyway. | |
| AMG V12 vs SME 20/12 Audiooracle, how would you describe the sound of the SME 20/12? Could you elaborate on your opinion about SME? Thanks. | |
| Quandry: Used Magico V2 vs. new S1 I should have added, and I think this is critical to what I heard, that the set ups were not valued equally by the dealership. I heard the Q3 during that speaker's introduction/debut in New England. Alon Wolf was there and much effort was made to ... |
