| New Pass Labs Xs amps Dfw,When you write that the XS beats the XA in every way, could you please elaborate? What was in the rest of the system? Thanks. | |
| How many with analog rigs only? Analog only. I got rid of the CDP when I needed extra space in my rack. That was two years ago. Haven't missed it yet. I recently built a new stand, it has some space and I've had no desire to reinstall my CDP.I used to be able to read while liste... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Live orchestral music indoors in a decent hall has always sound incredibly clear and crisp to me and leading edges have never sounded rounded off. I regularly attend the Boston Symphony Orchestra but other orchestras in other hall also sound that ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Thanks for the clarification, Spirit. It does indeed sound as though you have gone through a thorough and lengthy process and can speak from your experience. That always helps one to feel confident in his choices. If you ever get the chance to hea... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Yes, and I did. I guess I was not clear enough. I placed the Fieldpiece on a stand and took the reading. I then took a second reading from the exact same spot and they were not the same. I then tried about three different locations each at a sligh... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, Congratulations on your reaching audio nirvana. You certainly seem pleased with your choice. But are you stating categorically that you feel your current table and arm are better than all the belt drive table/pivoted arm combinations that ... | |
| Min room size for Wilson Audio Sophia or WP8 Mechans, Do you not recommend Pass Labs gear with the Wilsons? | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Syntax, I assume the wooden arm wands are used to handle resonances. Am I missing something? Thanks for the description of the Lyra vs. the ZYX cartridges. I had not realized they were designed to deal with the energy in completely different ways.... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I have just tried the Fieldpiece SRPM2. It is a laser digital tachometer. It works by pointing a laser at a piece of tape on side of the platter, or any other rotating object in other fields. It purports to have a high level of accuracy and it can... | |
| Raidho C1.1 I tend to agree with Missioncoonery. That same TAS reveiwer, JV, just gave a rave review to a non-Magico speaker, namely the Raidho C1.1. Based on his accurate assessment of the Mini II, IMO, I'd now like to hear the C1.1. | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet Even my dentist who uses an ultrasonic cleaning machine for appliances in his office changes the fluid after one use. We, as audiophiles, surely have standards for cleaning LPs equal to or surpassing those in the medical fields.How about a thin ma... | |
| Magico Q7 . . . wow Front baffle also looks curved and colored. If so, it would be much nicer than the rather conventional looking baffle/driver front of the S5. I think Suteetat may be right that it is a smaller S class two/three way to replace the last wood Magico ... | |
| SME 312S versus SME V-12 I can't imagine how difficult it would be to copy an SME V-12 arm. The magnesium arm tube is supposedly very difficult to manufacture. Perhaps if 2Juki has a counterfeit arm, the tube itself is some other metal, but I doubt anyone would go through... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner-Anyone buy one yet If one wants ultra clean records and is willing to deal with the hassle, I recommend a Loricraft or Keith Monks machine multi step fluids.If one wants clean records and ultra convenience, I recommend the Audio Desk.This is my experience after a sh... | |
