| Review: Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable Rushton,I came upon your review and really enjoyed reading it. You mention under "similar products" the SME 20 and 30. Could you please describe the differences you heard between the SME 30 and the Walker? Thanks. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Are there different versions of this speaker that have been demoed? Or have they just demoed prototypes at different shows? Are they in production yet, and if so, could some owners describe how they sound in their systems? As an owner of small mon... | |
| New Pass Labs Xs amps Jeb,I get it now. It was a joke, right? Good one. | |
| Solid State Phono Pre-amp Recommendations I agree win Don. The Pass Xono for about $2K is a great SS phono. Very neutral and very adjustable. Great build quality and very reliable. Super support from Pass Labs if you should ever need it. | |
| Best cartridge match for SME 309 tonearm??? I bought my new SME 10/A with a Sumiko Celebration new in 2003. Great combination. The cartridge has great bass and is just slightly warm of neutral, IMO. I have since upgraded to an SME V arm and AirTight PC-1 cartridge.I also found that replacin... | |
| Vinyl pressing/ So Beautiful or so what... I always clean new LPs using my Loricraft and AIVS 4-step process. They just sound much better once properly cleaned. | |
| Demagnetization for MC - good or bad? I used to have one of those Aesthetix units and stopped using it when I heard that it could be doing damage. So my new cartridge has never seen it. I also never really heard any improvement when I used it on my old cartridge.Now I degauss my syste... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ozzy, Thanks for that very interesting review. Now that you have changed room treatments and the positions of your speakers, how do you know that the result is from the Qol? What do you hear when you toggle the Qol in and out of the system? When i... | |
| PASS LABS XP20 or MODWRIGHT LS 36.5 DM I own the XP-20/XA160.5 combination. I think it's great, but I'll admit I have little experience with electronics other than Pass in my system. I have tried a couple of tube pre amps but they did not work with the XA100.5 when I had that amp. The ... | |
| PASS LABS XP20 or MODWRIGHT LS 36.5 DM Dreamauduio,Do you have the XA100 or the XA100.5? They are quite different sounding and perhaps that change would be better for you. If you already have the 100.5, then the XP20 would be excellent and XP30 even more so. | |
| New Pass Labs Xs amps Jeb,The New Audiogon does not allow direct email and I don't see your # listed in your post. How should I contact you and why don't you want to post information on the forum?Syntax,Thanks for that. Is there some hidden meaning to your words? How d... | |
| Best tube preamp ever You may want to move this thread to the amp/preamp forum. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hello Dev,Yes, I had read that now deleted NVS thread, but I forgot about your particular post. Do you remember how far off the speed was for each of the tables? According to my KAB strobe, my SME is 0.18% fast, as determined by the fact that four... | |
| ss replacement for my SET tubes and Egglestons? I had a pair of Eggleston Rosas. I first tried the Aleph 5 and then the Aleph 2 monos. The 2s were better but boy those Rosas needed power. I moved up to the Pass XA series and eventually switched speakers. I would try the Aleph 2, 100 watt/8 ohm.... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm,That is a good point about belt contact with the platter. My SME 10 has about one inch of exposed/free belt before and after the motor pulley leaving the vast majority of the belt in contact with the platter. This is in great contrast to some... |
