Great bass from a linear tracking arm?
I heard very fine bass performance with ALL the ET arms my friends ran.We(me) are talking about different degrees of "really good". I have a very good unipivot,and can fine tune "the heck out of it",thanks to what I heard on my friend's Air Tangen... 
How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp
Previously,I had no problems with a PS Audio Ultimate outlet,and the UPC-200.Other types of these products did not fare well in my set-up.If there is no current limiting,and you have good wall cabling(able to support a good load)I see little risk.... 
How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp
My ENTIRE system,including amp(and sub with built in amp) will be run,this way.I will report back,unless it is a MAJOR mistake,and I wind up commiting suicide! Best! 
Great bass from a linear tracking arm?
Well as to the A.T. holding up under high pressure,in the long haul,both of my friend's had this exact compressor combo going for about ten years(I don't know how high the pressure was,but I do know it was way more than the stock model).The only r... 
How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp
I just invested in an Exact Power EP-15A,and it's "balanced" partner,the Ultra Pure symmetrical wide-band filter.All to run my entire system,even though I have dedicated lines.I have heard some regenerated products on my front end stuff,and was am... 
Great bass from a linear tracking arm?
As the Kuzma arm moves across a disc the downforce "slightly" changes.This was reported by JV in TAS.That IS a BIG issue,and should be considered a design flaw. As to the issue of a better pump for the A.T.I believe many amps/pre-amps are bettered... 
Great bass from a linear tracking arm?
"The Air Tangent not only had less bass but it was vague and lacking in detail solidity extension impact etc".......Seriously,and I truly mean NO disrespect,but you have not heard a well set up Air Tangent.I have had two friends,who went to HUGE a... 
Sealed Loudspeakers?
One reason I would never get rid of my gorgeous Avalon Ascent MKII's.Sealed 175 lb box,with two outboard 55lb crossovers.Very easy load(6 ohm),and amazing detail retrieval and timbres.Yes,I have added a big REL sub,as I have these speakers 8-9 fee... 
Great bass from a linear tracking arm?
Sorry,Raul,but if you have ever heard an Air-Tangent(with modified pump/compressor)I believe you would change your last opinion,on the subject.This combo(the compressor MUST have alot of compression power,beyond the standard unit)absolutely will c... 
Akiva or Titan
I have a dear pal,who owns the Titan-I.He is a fanatical collector of classical/jazz "classic" vinyl,and is extremely demanding.The Titan is a fabulous,no FABULOUS product!!I have heard it on many occassions,and he has a wonderful,full range set-u... 
Eben loudspeakers
Nsgarsh,my man!!You should hear a properly driven Avalon Ascent.I know of a fellow,who sold off a pair for Genesis 200's(not stat,but stat-like,big time)and was amazed at the similarity.At volume too! Of course I'm prejudiced,but MAN are these thi... 
Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A???
The best acoustic guitar reproduction I have ever heard,by FAR,was with a ZYX Universe!! 
Kharma Midi vs. Sonus Faber Stradivari Amati
When it comes to Kharma's,the partnering amp is ALL important.The Lamm's,by far,are the best I have heard on them(I do not own Kharma).This combo really IS superb,but you really have to be careful.I'm not wild about the Kharma amps,but that is onl... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
I have heard the G's and thought "what great stand mounted monitors"!Great looking too.I am infatuated with the Magico's,though,and am trying to influence a friend(who has a small room,and is leaning to Parsifal Ovations)to consider them,based on ... 
Has anyone heard the Magico Mini?
We are talking about two "superb" speakers.Both are beautifully made,and sound wonderful!Different priorities(room/other equipment voicings)will dictate one's choices.As a person(me)who allowed myself to be foolish,and instigate negative feelings,...
