| Gallo 5LS prototype towers at the CES I heard them there with my own demo disc. I was very disappointed but suspect there was a problem with set up etc. I'm very curious to hear them under better conditions. I have a tweeked out version of the original references and love them. | |
| Do high level sub inputs really sound better? SImply put, there are advantages/disadvantages to both. Which tradoffs sound better to you? | |
| $75 Thorens vs. $2K+ Michell...is this possible? "The conclusion was that I would not need an upgrade for a while."perfect! The more resolving the system, the more each bit makes a difference and the more each difference seems to matter. Nothing wrong with enjoying what you have at whatever poin... | |
| $75 Thorens vs. $2K+ Michell...is this possible? Those electronics are not the most resolving, although pleasant. Obviously, the more attention to detail in a system, from the AC to the cables to the components within the electronics, etc., the more you'll hear. The other point to be taken here ... | |
| $75 Thorens vs. $2K+ Michell...is this possible? resolving some of the differences on that system could be challenging. | |
| Other comments on the Black Diamond Tone Arm? It is the latest iteration of Lloyd Walker's arm that comes with the Procenium Table. I haven't heard of it being available as a stand alone arm. | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail Thank you, Ralph! | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail Bottomless pockets are not always necessary, although that, along with everything else, is very relative. | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail I agree with Jcarr regarding studio monitors. Audio engineers, with many exceptions (I'm one), are notorious for their ingnorance of, and sometimes scorn for, audiophile products. They respect workhorses that help them get their job done in short ... | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail The other issue I didn't quite cover is that some components, most easily speakers, can editorialize the frequency response by being simply brighter or less bright, etc., by adding or subtracting frequency amplitude without necessarily adding edgi... | |
| The Best Turntable for $1300 or less Apples and oranges as always. Listen and choose. If you like clean sound and simple looks and ergonomics, go with the Rega P5 and figure in the outboard power supply as an eventual upgrade. | |
| Musicality vs Transparency & Detail I agree with Rushton. One way to put it is that true transparancy, and thusly true detail, has nothing to do with exagerated sense of detail via brightness or edginess, which are distortions. Noise that rides the signal, as opposed to noise floor,... | |
| $75 Thorens vs. $2K+ Michell...is this possible? The Glider isn't even close to breaking in and will definitely get better although tweeking the set up could render more improvement as well. | |

| MC cartridge output measurements Lewm,manufacturers usually list the spec followed by the scale, for example: 0.48mV (3.54cm/second, 1 KHz)for the Transifuration Orpheus, which, as has been pointed out, would translate to 0.68mV (5cm/second, 1KHz) rounded up to the nearest 1/100t... |
