dover, your " dead silence " only means that you never took the FR measurement in the ALtec transformers. Nothing wrong with that.   R.  
Used TechDAS Air Force III vs New Feickert Firebird with Kuzma Safir 9 vs SME 20 MK 2
Dear @mijostyn ​@chauncey  : " It is otherwise well designed. If you are going to spend the rest of your like with a Koetsu, fine. "   Not with the Rosewood Signature Platinum ( that I still own ) due that it's not really low compliance. What i...

Dear @dover  : " Much more important than loading in my view is getting the gain structure right so you have the optimum voltage going into the phono.  " I agree with that statement. My Denon AU-1000 hast a gain ratio 1:11.5 and I used with every... 
Step Up Transformer
Dear @edgewear  : " If more people would mention the same combinations as being excellent, this could create some sort of experience based consensus about the ’best’ possible combinations as interacting systems, instead of the generally useless op...

Dear @lewm  : " will probably have wide bandwidth and low distortion. " I'm sorry but from where came that statement?  That manufacturer never posted both specifications nowhere or exist measured information about..    R.

@edgewear  : The Moon is better than hat you could imagine. Anyway, unfortunatelly as me no one else already listen all the phonolinepreamps out there and the " best " out there are not at 25K but over 35K as the Boulder 1110 that I never had the ... 
Step Up Transformer
@edgewear : Btw, you could be one of the future owners of the 3180 that will be custom made due that the owner can choose between unit with 2 MC independent stages or one MC stage and one MM stage. In the MC/MM configuration both independent stag... 
Step Up Transformer
Dear @edgewear  : I think that the " trouble " culd be that till today maybe you do not experienced listen sessions trhough an excellent designed phonolinepreamp like latest Dartzeel, FMA, CH, Moon and the like. No, Boulder is not in that league i... 
Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense
Dear @honeyooi  : "  Basis even though uni pivot but is very stable arm. " Well you can see at macroscopic level that's stable but the main and critical issue is what is happening at microscopic levels to the cartridge cantilever/stylus trying to... 
Step Up Transformer
Dear @edgewear   : " but why do you think an active gain device wouldn’t add colorations of its own?  "   Where posted I that statement?, every device develops some kind of distortion level.A well matched pairs of bipolars is all what the cartri... 
Turntable is the most expensive in the chain, do it make sense
Dear @honeyooi  : I still own the XV-1s and owned the Rua and both like a stable tonearm, so unipivot is forbiden but not only with those cartridges but with any one. If your tonearm is with gimbal bearing design just fine.   Transducers always ... 
Step Up Transformer
Dear @edgewear  : The issue is not about FR but what showed your Anna in those both FR tonearms that just said the FX truly was and is spot-on with. The Anna is not only a " so so " tracker along those 16grs. on its weigth. I owned the MAX 282 w... 
A Few Turntable Measurements using the RPM Android App
Dear @kevemaher  : Good that you shared those measurements that speaks by it self what I knew of the Denon quality.   I still own two Acoustic Signature old top of the line TT's alog Denon, Technics, Luxman and the like. Inside the external PS i... 
Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14?
Dear @wrm57 : Both EPA 100 are really good tonearms and in any case both needs an internal rewiring. Japan vintage analog items or Yahoo could be the best sites to look for either one. Differences in between depends of the cartridge you mount an... 
Step Up Transformer
Dear @edgewear  : It's no surprice the mistracking you experienced with the 64S and low compliance Anna where its resonance frequency is not aquated and out of the " ideal " frequency range when in the 64FX it's spot on at the middle. The 4400 is ...
