| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation +1 on the LS50s, Fritz Speakers and the Josephs. Try the LS5os or Fritz and then see if you feel like you need anything more.Both deserve all the praise they get. | |
| Pinback a band that needs your attention Huge Pinback fan. Great stuff. Solid live band too, and I think they are touring. | |
| Pro-ject speedbox: Is improvement worth the $ ? There is also the recently introduced option of the Phoenix Falcon speed controller, to which a Roadrunner Tachnometer can later be added for even greater speed precision. Cool stuff. | |
| where to get a Rawson Aleph 5 clone repaired? Know a number of folks who have had problems with the Rawson amps. That's what you get for buying an amp illegally made by an unauthorized manufacturer. Compared to Pass, the work is poor quality, in addition to being unauthorized. Don't buy a des... | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? +1 on ATC. Magical speakers. And most report that the actives are the ones to have from ATC. | |
| Simaudio MOON LP5.3 RS or 300LP? Are y'all using balanced or single ended ICs with this? I was underwhelmed using RCAs. I had a 5.3 with the power supply and much preferred the Avid Pulsus to it, which I have since replaced with the Musical Fidelity kW. Sorry to rain on the Simau... | |

| ZYX Premium Cartridges Well, they haven't been out very long yet. Certainly look forward to impressions, because I love my 4D. | |
| Speed Control There is also a new speed controller by Phoenix called the Falcon that can also incorporate an optional RPM sensor called the Roadrunner. Sells for a good deal less than the SDS. $612 for both, and $378 for just the Falcon | |
| Musical Fidelity? I have always really liked their kW line. Have both their kW line stage and kW phono stage. | |
| Cartridge Advice Agree. Talk to Soundsmith and/or Andy Kim. And get a trade-on quote. Biggest question in my mind is whether you are looking for a different sound or not. Thinking a lateral move to a cart that has different strengths and weaknesses? Or ready to ta... | |
| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs Those jumpers are an under-appreciated option on Atma amps. Did wonders in my system when I had an S30. | |
| Zyx Universe. O.24 mv vs .48 mv with low eff spkrs Audiotomb, you lucky guy! Enjoy the II! Send my best to Mehran. | |
| HEADS UP Chicago based music lovers Thanks for the heads-up. Will check them out! | |
