| EMT and SoundSmith Good luck with your choice. | |
| EMT and SoundSmith Hi Dodgealum - what cartridge have you moved to - I was thinking of buying the Zephyr MIMC Star. I spent a lot of time with his Hyperion at the Cap Audio Fest in addition to the Strain Gauge and both were outstanding on his system.Those cartridge... | |
| Basis Vector 4 question Thanks Jim, good info. I am fairly certain the Vector will perform well with most cartridges. | |
| Classe 15 vs Classe CA200 Don’t know about the 15 but have had a CA200 for close to 25 years. Always worked well with tubes - CJ premier 14 and ET5. 75 ohm input impedance so it is an easy load for most tube preamps.Also drove Thiels with the CA200 - it is a beast at on... | |
| Audio Research Ref 6 SE Good luck 9rw. I agree wholeheartedly with you and hope ARC works it out. The same thing happened to me years ago. I bought a PH5 and the PH6 came out less than a month later, unbeknownst to me.Like you I made a significant investment with my d... | |
| GT Audio Works at Capital AudioFest 2019 Great sounding speakers - always top of the heap at CAF. | |
| New Old Thiel CS6 Speakers--Too Harsh Not sure about the Kappa's and how they sound but I can tell you having owned Thiels for 20 years they are great speakers. I am using CS6 in my system and also own a pair of 3.6's. You have some great speakers and to get the most out of them, li... | |

| Cartridge Set Up Essentials Good suggestions above and most of all patience, plenty of time and no distractions. The more you do it the better you get.Fremer's video is good. The late A.J. Conti provides a setup video with his tonearms that is very informative. His theori... | |

| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! Why can't you guys start your own thread and argue and not muck up every other thread.....just the 2 of you! | |
| ART7 vs. ART9 vs. OC9X-series vs. Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star LOL | |
| ART7 vs. ART9 vs. OC9X-series vs. Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star dodgealum just read your review from 2017 - terrific! Have become a fan of Sound-Smith cartridges and your description is representative to a house sound I've noticed - reminds me of the Strain Gauge and Hyperion I heard at CAF this year. | |
| Audio Troy Capital Audio Fest the good, the bad and the ugly! Soix the JA perspectives were outstanding. He had them set up on the long wall of a very small room so it was definitely a nearfield listen.Not sure about the electronics he used but his speakers sounded great as always, for me at least - I love ... | |
