| New cartridge vs. Re-tipped You are 100% correct that a retipped Lyra cartridge by SoundSmith most likely will not have the identical sonic sig but that doesn't mean it would be worse. Soundsmith when doing retips has several choices, I know from experience. From 2 I've had ... | |
| New buy, no return policy Good choice. Once you get them in your room let us know your thoughts on the speakers. Enjoy 😉 | |
| New buy, no return policy Curious what are the shipping charges from TMR to and back if needed? Seems if that cost is reasonable then buy from TMR. Or why will your local dealer not bring over his in-store pair to your home for a short demo. If you like them maybe work out... | |
| Looking for a more solid-feeling turntable (and maybe a new preamp) @helomech just an FYI Palmer turntables are no longer in production. Jon Palmer, the founder of Palmer Audio, ceased operations due to personal reasons. I'm sure you can still buy used Palmer tables which should be a good buy. | |
| speaker upgrade from Magico A3 Did you find the SF Serafinos a bit to warm and maybe lacking some detail? If so you might try having a listen to some Franco Serblin speakers. | |
| Clearaudio Ovation vs Kuzma Stabi R Hard to put into words but when I heard the Clearaudio it just didn't have the life or energy that other tables had. No connections to the music for me. Now the Stabi R was just the opposite. It had foot stomping rhythm. Several times I got chills... | |
| Clearaudio Ovation vs Kuzma Stabi R I've only heard Clearaudio tables at shows and while they sounded ok they didn't move me. What I can say without hesitation is whenever I've listened to the Stabi R it has the rhythm and pace that no other table I've heard has. I've heard it with ... | |
| High Performance Moving Iron Cartridge Candidates? I've heard many SoundSmith cartridges and they all are wonderful. The Voice is fabulous and has an output of 2.12mV and if and when it requires retipping the cost is only $300. | |
| Back in the vinyl saddle again. @tony1954 500 albums to sell? What condition and where are you located? | |
| speaker upgrade from Magico A3 IMO the A5s are similar to your A3s just a bit more bass but only with an amp that has the current to bring them to life. Still a more sterile sounding speaker that does not suit many listeners including me. The Joseph speakers or SF or even Franc... | |
| Mike's Barn. +1 @jettyfat2323 Cam mis-operator ' hopefully does better @ the day job....jus' sayin'... 🙄 Wasn't MC an X-Ray tech in a hospital? If so hope he did a better job with those pics. | |
| New to Turntables Personally with virtually no albums I would not be going down this rabbit hole. Unless you have an unlimited budget vinyl will get VERY expensive fast. Just my own 2cents worth. | |
| Mike's Barn. As others have stated the camera work made it unwatchable. Got thru 45 seconds then turned it off. Wish Mike participated more on these forums. | |
