| What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature I would skip the Casablanca. Not sure why your using that when you own such a nice preamp. You own some really great gear. If your looking for opinions, your turntables may be your weakest link. Two great cartridges by the way. | |
| Analogue question Ground wire from tonearm check first. | |
| What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature You said you had both Aesthetix Rhea and Calypso. Why are you running your Rhea into the Casablanca? Isn’t that a surround processor. What is the rest of your front end?I didn’t mean to comment on spelling. Just pointing out to start off more poli... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @orpheus10 Not sure how this is relevant here but I must say that I fully agree. | |
| What is tour opinion on the Aesthetix Rhea signature and the Calypso signature Saying what other people write is BS isn’t a good way to start, especially starting a thread with a spelling mistake in your header. It’s all peoples opinions and they are putting effort in writing here. I have a Rhea Sig. It’s an excellent phono... | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s Yes. Like I said. Your source is more than enough gain for your Yamamoto to be driven. Probably would be too much wide open. I used to have one of those myself, the Yamamoto, years ago. Along with a 300b and 845 amp that I used when I had my Ava... | |
| 45 tubes for Yamamoto A-08s I have experience with passive line stages. Basically it’s just a volume control. My first was using the digital volume control in my dac back in the 90’s. I’ve also used extensively resistor and transformer based. Including two from Bent audio a... | |
| Ikeda IT-407 tonearm geometry @rauliruegas I’ll have a look closer at what you said later tonight. At the moment I still don’t quite understand. I appreciate all the input though. I’m really enjoying learning more about vinyl playback. I’ve always been into vinyl except for a ... | |
| Ikeda IT-407 tonearm geometry @chakster Yes. It got a little off track. I’ll have to get a protractor for Stevenson and give it a try. You said your short ikeda lined up properly without having to twist The cartridge in the headshell. Using Lofgren I have to twist my cartridg... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @terry9 I have read that this is a tape pre head amp input and not just a labelled line input. It is also labeled tape head and not tape input. It is also positioned along with the mm input. I think the Marantz 7 preamp might have this too. Watch... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? I have a Mcintosh mx100z preamp. It has a tape head input. I assume this could be used. But I’m confused as what it was meant for in its day. Were people going direct out of their decks back in the 60’s. And did they have direct output option back... | |
| Ikeda IT-407 tonearm geometry @rauliruegas What pivot to spindle distance do you use for your it407? And it the cartridge rotated substantially inwards or straight in the headshell? | |
| Ikeda IT-407 tonearm geometry @chakster if this graph is correct, wouldn’t it give you the most distortion when your playing your small 45’s except for the very end of the song? https://www.analogplanet.com/content/uni-din-versus-löfgren-b-just-clarify | |

| Ikeda IT-407 tonearm geometry I thought I would try Stevenson but I keep hearing how poor it is. Maybe uni-din is a better choice. Check this out. https://www.analogplanet.com/content/uni-din-versus-löfgren-b-just-clarify@ |
