| PF SETTING FOR MC CARTRIDGE WITH SUT I understand (I think) why the capacitance should be as low as possible for a moving coil cartridge plugged directly into an active gain stage. The OP said he has his cartridge plugged into a step up transformer and the SUT into the MM input on hi... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 Monoblocks Amplifier Hello Stephen, You took the plunge. Congratulations! | |
| Clearaudio Aurum Beta S Well, hooked everything up last night, made some adjustments, and it sounded great - much better than I expected. So I guess the cartridge is ok. | |
| Clearaudio Aurum Beta S Thanks for the good advice. I called a local ClearAudio dealer and he told me exactly the same thing. He added that there could be lots of mistracking nearer the inner grooves of a record.I have an appointment Saturday morning to get him to look a... | |
| Speaker cable recommendation for Harbeth Thanks everybody. | |

| Is Plinius 9200 bright sounding? Thanks everyone. Seems the consensus is not bright, but neutral and very transparent to the source. | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Thanks.I am somewhat discouraged by my inability to get any info from Sumiko; 3 emails, 2 voicemails, no response. | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new I emailed Sumiko yesterday to find out who has a pair of Auditor Ms on display. Have not heard back yet.This has been a very intresting discussion - clearly divided into two camps - those who prefer the warmth and lushness of the original model an... | |

| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Holy moly. Great responses; thanks everyone. I had forgotten about the Analog Room. He used to allow home trials, which would be the ideal situation. I listened to the original Auditors at Magnolia and was told by the salesman that the only differ... | |
| Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor old v new Exactly. I've read all of those reviews, and they are all positive. Still, I'd like to hear from someone who put down his hard earned money. I am more inclined to trust the unvarnished opinions I read here. | |

| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Well the XA-30.5 is here and it sounds wonderful - powerful, punchy, and very transparent. It's been running for about 5 hours now and I've noticed marked improvement just in that period of time - thin and bright when I first plugged it in, but th... | |
| Pass Labs xa - .5 amps Thanks for your responses. I ordered an XA-30.5 - can't wait for it to arrive. My dealer has a 6-month full credit trade in policy just to tempt me to upgrade to the XA-60.5. |
