| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet I visited the Magico room saturday. The sound was decent but did not stand out as special. That was my first listen to their speakers. Maybe next time will be more favorable.My favorite room was the Vandersteen/Aesthetix/Clearaudio room.No one has... | |
| Best phono for a Merrill MS2/Triplaner/Ort. AC90 ? Allnic H3000 should be on your list to audition. My A90 works great with it. The Allnic has adjustable loading, plenty of gain, and has a very low noise floor.Sean | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet What no Death Metal? I'm gonna bring about 10 lps. I will bring stuff I play all the time. Not sure exactly which ones yet. Should probably bring easily replaceable discs in case something happens.Sean | |
| Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i? Dre,Sounds like I will just have to keep my eyes peeled. I wish more of the exihibitors would list what they will have in their rooms.I will be there all three days and will just focus on analog so I should be able to hear most of what is there.I ... | |
| Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i? Larryi,Thanks for the feedback.Variety is the spice of life. Yes I want something different but equally refined and transparent.Does anyone know what rooms at RMAF I might find Lyra carts in action? Same with Transfiguration?Sean | |
| Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i? Suteetat,That is troubling to hear. I wonder if others that have had it rebuilt feel the same way?Larryi,I do not think that a more prominent upper midrange would be a good thing in my system.I like the tonal balance of the A90. It seems about rig... | |
| Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i? Dre, I intend on waiting till after RMAF to make a decision.There are so many interesting carts out there I have not heard yet. You are right I should stick with the A-90 as I am satisfied with it's performance. It is easy in this hobby to go back... | |
| Anyone compare Ortofon A90 vs Lyra Titan i? Thanks for the replies.May I ask what tonearm you used to compare them?Sean | |
| 2011 RMAF Analog Reports + Meet and Greet I'll be there this year. Missed it last year. I just recently got into vinyl so this will be my first time there with my focus on analog.See ya there.Sean | |
| Turntable interconnect If you have no hum your golden. Unless you just want to try different cables.What IC's are you using now? | |
| What defines a good tonearm Hiho,I auditioned the Talea 2 last week and it uses magnets to adjust azimuth. So it's not totally free floating either.It was in a system completely foreign to me but from what I can tell it had a lower noise floor than what I am used to with my ... | |
| Dollar to Satisfaction Ratio not met. Can anyone tell me why some amp designs have such a low input impedance. Is it because the design demands it? Or they don't expect you to use a tube preamp with it? Is there a sonic penalty for raising the input impedance?Sean | |
| True Headphone AMP? Thanks Al. I figured there was some good reasons that such a device does not exist. I thought there might be some issues but do not have the technical knowledge to know what they would be. Might make an interesting project. But sounds like it woul... | |
| True Headphone AMP? I think most preamps have enough gain to drive headphones but have to high of an output impedance to work. Is there a non active way to drop the impedance down enough to work with headphones?I think atmasphere preamps can drive headphones from the... | |
| Need Recommendations for SS amp for 2 ohm load Gerald,Glad to hear you are enjoying the update.I have no intention of changing my speakers any time soon.Cheers,Sean |
