| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! The thread lives?I haven’t put pictures up as I don’t know where to host them yet. | |
| Martin Logan speakers Even though they aren’t for me, I completely get why some people love ML speakers and find most other types wanting. They have their own sound that if you love it, you love it.To the OP: don’t be put off by anyone else (like me) who prefer other ... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? I find the distinction made in the OP to be too artificial to apply to myself, or many other audiophiles that I know.Much of what is mentioned isn’t mutually exclusive. For instance, I find most often “real” to entail “more musical.”Whenever I lis... | |
| Verity speakers opinions/experience? Verity are speakers ive always wanted to love because they provide really hi level sound in a beautiful, compact design.Unfortunatley they end up boring me a bit too much. They don’t quite hit my “tone/timbre” button.But that’s me. I totally get... | |
| Martin Logan speakers Quad Esl and 63s ushered me into high end audio (I owned the 63s and later added Gradient subs) so I have a soft spot for stats.I’ve heard and auditioned many ML stats since the 90s.I find the ML sound to have a generally pleasant “golden upper mi... | |
| Thiel Owners Rob,I’m glad you enjoyed my ramblings on the Thiels. At one point I rambled in an online hi fi mag reviewing speakers (many years ago) so I’ve had a lot in my listening room. I drifted away somewhat from the hobby for a while (turning to designing... | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 the reality is we have spent about $40k and more on cabling for our rooms, do you honestly think we would spend the moneyif we couldn’t hear the difference.Yes.Of course it’s possible for people to spend large amounts of money on imaginary benefit... | |
| Thiel Owners I believe I’ve finally made my decision after torturing myself between the Thiel 2.7s and the 3.7s for many months now.I’m going to sell my Thiel 3.7s!The 2.7s are good enough to keep blowing me away when I listen to them. I’ve had them up for a l... | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 audiotroy,I don’t think you are trying to hoodwink anyone and that you, like many into high end audio, are quite convinced about your experiences with cables and other such things. "If you lose information from point A to point B you are not going... | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 And of course, a high end dealer will be happy to sell you much more expensive cables ;-)tonediary...keep nugat's post in mind. Your wallet will thank you. | |
| My exp. with Focal Sopra No.2 , Harbeth 40.2, Passlabs XA30.5 and Hypex NC400 nugat,Agree with your general point, with the exception of spikes. Spikes will typically raise the speakers and changing the relationship of the woofers with the floor and especially the tweeter/mid level to the ear, it certainly can change the so... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges Ah...just had a conversation with my turntable buddy...he's saying if I find the 250 impedance setting on the phono stage maybe edging into a bit piercing it would only get worse using the MM input and going way up to 47k impedance. That seems to... | |
| Any of you experiment with optimal VTA for Benz Micro Cartridges @audiom3,@artemus_5 I've finally started listening to my new Transrotor turntable with my Benz Micro Ebony L cartridge. The sound is incredibly clear, spacious, focused and free of hash.Being a newbie, I'm still wondering about the recommendation... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Well I ended up with this:Lovan rack: Top shelf reinforced with steel plate, bonded by wall-damp material. Rest of lovan racks damped with wall damp material, and wall damp material/sorbothane in the rack columns. That really deadened ringing v... | |
| Talon Khorus I would say: caution. Talon speakers were a divisive speaker. At least at that time some people raved them up as the next best thing - sort of the Tekton speakers of their day.When I got to audition some Talon speakers I was dumbfounded by how s... |
