| New turntable help If you are hitting the $1-2k budget, you might want to try to hear a Well Tempered Simplex. | |
| New turntable help Not anywhere you can audition them? They are all well thought of tables with their own advantages and disadvantages. Having an idea of what is most important to you would help. As might an idea of what genres of music you most often listen to. | |
| Mounting a Mono cartridge Dunno, I have always matched them. | |
| Mounting a Mono cartridge Yes, just color match the leads. Miyajima documentation has a pic of the proper connections too. IIRC, the colors weren't easy to make out on my Miyajima cart. | |
| Where to buy a Sgt Pepper Album Cover? I might have an extra around here. Shoot me a message if you are still looking. | |
| high power tube amps vs ss Al, I am surprised that curiosity hasn't gotten the better of you. | |
| How to increase the gain on a preamp Details will help here. How much gain does the phono stage have? What is the output of your MC (not clear if it is HOMC or LOMC from your post)? Do you have this gain problem with any non-phono input? You could also buy an external phono stage tha... | |
| Rogue Audio Sphynx and Martin Logan Odysseys You have spikes and choose not to try them? As for an uneven floor, spikes can be adjusted (how far in you screw them) so the unevenness can be corrected for. Spikes are the recommendation of your speaker manufacturer. Take em out of the drawer an... | |
| Rogue Audio Sphynx and Martin Logan Odysseys What are your dealer's thoughts on this? And have your contacted Rogue to get their impressions? As much as I like A'gon, I'd start with those first. Rogue has always been particularly helpful when I have had questions or problems. | |
| Rogue Audio Sphynx and Martin Logan Odysseys Yes, damping factor is one potential consideration among many others. Though I have had instances where damping factor was clearly the problem in the bass of the speakers I was running (over-damping the bass in my case, though under-damping may be... | |
| high power tube amps vs ss I will add this to what Al said: It is generally thought to be a good sign when a typical solid-state amp doubles in power as the impedance of the speaker is halved. A sign of a good power supply, IIRC. And yes, generalizing about amps based solel... | |
| Rogue Audio Sphynx and Martin Logan Odysseys I would not assume that the bass issues you are experiencing are necessarily due to not having enough power. There is much more to amplification and speaker-amp interactions than power. You bought your amp at a dealer. So have you inquired with th... | |
| Help with a system for a guy into electronic music Pretty sure it has been mentioned above, but with subwoofers intergration with your mains can be difficult. This is more tricky in some set-ups than others (planars + subs, for example). But the trick is to get a seamless handoff to the sub. Just ... | |
| New cart for under 1K I have no experience with the Transfiguration, but I really liked the XX-2 (Soundsmith rebuild) with the P75. A low impedance cart like the XX-2 is ideal for the PE mode of the P75. And I'd be sure that you have an idea of the seller's listening p... | |
| Retipping Service Soundsmith still does retipping. But they are often quite backed up. 8-12 weeks turnaround time or so... |
