JafantTo quote Radar O'Reilly of MASH, "Ahh, Bach". I can add "Ahh, Clapton", but little else here other than questions. However, I am still reading and following this wonderful and informative thread nearly daily. I can't not, too much to learn h...

TmsrdgPaul Jacobs was an amazing teacher at Brooklyn College as well. After the first few classes I made sure to sit in the first row on the left so i could watch his hands glide across the keyboard and also really focus on the music. Knowing real...

UnsoundThank you. Now that I have a better feel for what the 3.5s can do (I am absolutely thrilled) even when underpowered, I'll back off to the 40 hz and play them with an even lighter touch, especially on the bass heavy stuff. I will admit that ...

ArvincastroI had the exact same impressions of hearing the high res remastered, but non- MQA, Beatles Sgt. Pepper as you did - it offered so much new terrain. The remastered White album even more so, with the Esher sessions and outtakes really all...

Thank you. I think doing this stepwise does make the most sense for me. Getting an appropriate high current ss amp first with using the preamp of my Linn would buy me time. I've read that the preamp is better than the amp section on my Linn, so it...

Continued,The 3.5s immediately revealed themselves. Obviously they played louder and deeper, I use the EQ. They are not as position dependent, and I'm somewhat limited in placing them, so it will never be ideal. But positioned where the 2.2s were ...

I'm honored to be asked for my thoughts, especially from the master artisan and craftsman himself and the very knowledgeable Jafant, but I'm afraid the tech eludes me and I know nothing other than what I hear and feel. It explains why I'm still ru...

Many thanks to all on this site, especially Unsound. The insights and experiences posted here led me to purchase a pair of 3.5's. I very briefly considered Maggies, but I have enjoyed my 2.2's so much since 1992 that I had no choice but to move up...

Thanks Radni, that's exactly what I did, replaced the stylus with a JICO. Looked into NOS, shocked at the prices, so went with JICO. So grateful for all the helpful advice from the community here.
