| Feickert blackbird, kuzma 4 point which cartridge Altanpsx, You have a number of suggestions that would be described as being neutral. I think you may be at a point where you should double check that these neutral carts will work well with your arm's effective mass. Then read as many reviews of t... | |
| Are 45rpms worth the price? Mattmiller, I am curious which 45 RPMs you have heard. I have found that the 45 RPM LPs that I have bought are sonically well worth the cost and inconvenience of flipping them more frequently. Some standout 45 RPM LPs I have bought: new MoFi Bob D... | |
| Feickert blackbird, kuzma 4 point which cartridge Have you looked into Vinyl Engine's Cartridge and Tonearm databases? That would be my first stop to see how the tonearm's effective mass matches with the cart's weight and compliance. | |
| New Speaker for Under 5K Nice that you are in NYC. You should be able to find tons of speakers to audition. | |
| Kevin gets the Kevin, Nice to see you respond here and sorry that you have been so unfairly treated here by posters' insinuations.Thanks for all the help that you gave me with my phono preamp. And can we now kill this thread? | |
| New Speaker for Under 5K You might also want to look into Von Schweikerts. | |
| Kevin gets the Wow, I am shocked at the ill will here. "Put clowns like this out of business"? C'mon. I am certainly not seeing "a consensus in the comments" and certainly not a consensus that backs up claims with evidence. How Kevin decides to conduct his busin... | |
| Kevin gets the Goldenear, This is the first I am hearing about these "dead tubes" on this thread. Not sure what the problem was there, but the Upscale website clearly states: "Vacuum tubes are warranted for 90 days against defects, except in cases of abuse, and ... | |
| Kevin gets the Well, I am not the one slandering a salesman and company here. However, below is my experience:But during the course of my interaction there were some hiccups with the unit I bought not having everything included in the box (sealed by the manufact... | |
| Kevin gets the Goldenear1948, I am not sure your motivations for this thread, but your implication that Kevin at Upscale Audio is not ethical needs some evidence to back that claim up. Otherwise, it is slander. Let's stay away from irresponsible accusations shal... | |
| Retip for zyx But on the other side of things, retips are FAR less expensive. You are still getting the advantages of the coils, cantilever and other aspects of the design. Is it strictly an Airy 3? Are you saving a lot of money by getting it retipped? Yes. Per... | |
| low volume, microdynamics,body,presence, 10k used. For what you are looking for, I think it probably makes sense to look into higher sensitivity speakers. Those have worked better at low SPLs in my experience. | |
| Adding sub question 140 Hz is fairly high for a crossover point to subs. Bass is going to be directional to some degree at that point, which will make integrating the subs more difficult. Might want to get something that can handle time alignment at this crossover po... | |
| low volume, microdynamics,body,presence, 10k used. I think that getting the body and weight you want with the ncore amps is going to be tricky. Maybe putting a tube preamp in front of it would help. But the ncore in my experience is excellent at detail retrieval and at the frequency extremes, but ... | |
| KEF LS50 Integrated recommendation Any chance of auditioning any of these? On paper, any ought to work well. And any amp rec should ideally be based on that specific match of amp and speaker. All about synergy, and sometimes that synergy goes beyond measureables like watts and damp... |
