| Dynavector XX-2 MkII vs. Shelter 5000 I haven't heard the XV1-S but I have owned a 17D2 and XX-2 and found them rather dull sounding. The 17D2 lacked about an octave of bass and both Dynavectors had a light, rather cool tonal balance with a recessed midrange. I preferred the Shelter 9... | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 I'm currently using Exposure solid state amps, which are about to be replaced by Audio Note tube amps which are in the process of being modified, although the preamp uses 6sn7 tubes. Thanks for the suggestions, though. | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 Thanks, yes I noticed the switch. I have been comparing the MC input with the MM input using the MC4. The internal transformer produes a slightly bigger, more open sound, while the MC4 is a little warmer, but smaller sounding, probably because of ... | |

| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 For downunder and Opus8:I have just borrowed an 8PPB from a dealer for a demo, and will have it for about a week.

| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 >>BTW one of my cartridges is the Rosewood and that sounds terrible with the standard 834P deluxe - I assume that the adjustable taps on the MC4 enables you to dial in the right load for the cartridge to see.<<My experience was also th... | |
| Einstein Turntable's Choice vs EAR 834P + MC4 >>Yes, you like all those EAR distortions/colorations and this is what it matters more because you are the one that must live with it but IMHO the Einstein put you near to the recording where the EAR combination put you far away from the rec... | |

Mine has the Cirkus, Ekos and Naim Armageddon PSU, and currently a Glider.A couple of years ago I bought a Nottingham Ace Spacedeck for a second system to use with an SME IV I already had. With the SME arm, t... | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 Arm - how good is it? Of course you are right - the MA 505 is a fine arm by any standard, and sounds excellent. One day I may try a Triplanar, Brinkmann or Da Vinci Grandezza on my turntable - but I am not expecting profound improvements. http://i211.photobucket.com/al... |
