| SME V with MINT LP TRACTOR Thanks for the link, Thom. It is very informative. I will measure my cartridge and contact Yip. Peter | |
| SME V with MINT LP TRACTOR Jlin, Your explanation is very clear. I now understand what the issue is. Thank you very much. I will try to measure the distance and let Yip know. | |
| Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES I have the Rosa which I love the looks of. Especially the granite sides, elegant grill and small proportions. Have not heard the Andra III, but I think they are simply TERRIBLE looking. A real shame. For $25K, or whatever they are asking, I'd cons... | |
| Furutech Destat or Walker Talisman or both? I just tried Dan ed's advice. I have an old GENEVA Audio/Video Tape Eraser which I used to use to erase VHS tapes and demagnatize CDs. I listened to Bill Evans Trio, "Waltz for Debby" and Brubeck's "Blue Rondo a la Turk" on Time Out. Then I demagn... | |
| Turntable on a $5k budget? I agree with Sdrenslow. I'm very biased as I have a SME10 with SME V arm. It's the only component I have not upgraded. You should find one for under $4K here on Audiogon. You can always upgrade the arm, cable, cartridge later. It is very well made... | |
| Suggestions for preamp compatible with Pass X250? I would suggest staying within the Pass family. If the X-1 is too expensive, and it doesn't have phono, then you could find a used Aleph P and Aleph Ono for about $2400 together. I used this combo with Pass monos before upgrading to the X-1 and XO... | |
| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners I agree with Lewm. Raul has his opinions, but he is also very experienced. He has always answered my e-mails to him regarding specific cartridge/table/arm combinations and offered me good advice. Thanks Raul. I appreciate his contributions. Sorry ... | |
| Solid State Amp for Usher Be-718 Pass Aleph 3. 30 watts pure Class A. Glorious little amp. I don't know specs of your speakers, but it's a small room, so 30 very good watts should be enough. | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ I'm pretty sure it is possible. I am counting on this for a future upgrade from the X-1 to the XP-20 using its PS for my XONO. I would contact Pass Labs directly. They are extremely helpful via phone or e-mail. | |
| Best Phono Stage within 2000 $ Used Pass Labs XONO. Extremely neutral, balanced (XLR) outputs and over 200 cartridge loading options. Also very reliable. | |
| Pass XA 100.5 vs Lamm M1.2 I just bought a pair of the XA100.5, replacing the XA160. My speakers are 87db with a 4-6ohm load like yours. I have never heard the Lamm products. The XA sounds better and more powerful than the XA160 as it doubles in power as impedence is halved... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA-100 monoblocks Amplifier I can only comment on the XA100.5s, not the XA100s. I think TAS was also talking about the XA.5s in their recent review. They do run less hot than the earlier Class A lines. I replaced my XA160s which were quite hot to the touch, though not as hot... | |
| Magico V2? Info is now on the Magico website and at 6moons.com. 89db, 4 ohm load, 32-40khz, $18,000. | |
| Mapleshade Brass Footers w/ Rega P3-24 ? I have the Mapleshade heavy brass triple footers and 4" maple platform on rubber/cork footers all under my SME 10 table. The result is slightly faster tighter focus/sound,and better overall clarity. Worth the cost. You can view the setup in my vir... | |
| SME table owners - ever have a motor go out? I agree with Rgurney. Contact SME via e-mail. They are good about responding. I have an SME Model 10 and its manual recommends 1 drop once a year for the motor. The spindle should get one drop every 1000 hours. My table is about 4 years old and I ... |
