| Review: Audio-Technica USA AUDIO TECHNICA AT-20SS. Cartridge I have had my AT15ss since new in 1975; I still have the original receipt for it. I am on my third replacement stylus, another NOS AT15ss. This cartridge is truly outstanding and as mentioned above, the low end bass/mid bass is simply amazing. ... | |
| SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS AND MORE SPEAKERS.. BUT NEED BASS.? My personal experience with the SVS subs was not good at all. I had multiple failures (all covered under warranty at least), but they just didn’t hold up so I changed brands. But before replacing the subs, I played with a pair of Bryston Middle T’... | |
| I can not live without "Room Correction" I have found that room correction is really based on the quality of the speakers used. Some 'lesser' speakers see improvement as I have found when I had the new SVS Ultra Towers for a few months and used the Anthem ARC software; it really helped ... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers If you can find a pair of the Bryston Model T’s to audition, do it before you buy anything. Most people who have listened to them say that nothing under $25K will touch their performance.I personally had a pair of Bryston Middle T’s for three mont... | |
| Highest detail cartridges I would like to chime in on the discussion of highest detailed cartridges, phono stages, cables, etc.I just completed a replacement of my service entrance of the house which had a rather typical 200 amp breaker box with around 60 breakers all GE e... | |
| Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge I have listened to a variety of speakers. Hours upon hours before I purchased a pair of SVS Ultra Towers due to the price point. But when I had the SVS Ultra's set up next to a pair of Bryston Middle T's, I was longing for the Bryston's, there w... | |
| Finally took the Bryston 4B Cubed plunge I would love to try a Bryston cubed amp; the 14B3 or a pair of 28B3's, but I just don't have the spare funds to do so at the moment.As with the creator of this thread, I had been using a Parasound, but it was the A51, great amp, sounds wonderful. ... | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 If one has a high quality amp or amps with good design and not costing more than a small Honda (or motorcycle) and taking the extra step to de-oxidize the buss on the service panel and the breakers, I'll bet it will sound just as good. Limiting v... | |
| New D'Agostino Monoblocks...$250,000 When the bubble finally implodes, and it will as it really needs to, all of this non-sense will vaporize and there will be no buyers at any price to take the used $250K amps off anyone’s hands.Really??? did anyone look at the internal photos of th... | |
| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 I have had Bryston Middle T’s, then went up to the Model T’s.... cannot be beat! But, you do need a lot of power; they love power. There are three variations of the Model T’s available; passive, external crossovers and active to be driven by three... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Here is my take on it: The SME Series IV is regarded as one of the best tone arms ever made; so it would make sense to me that it would play well with most cartridges out in the market place or people would not compliment how it performs. I guess ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Thanks Wrxified for the information... the nylon hardware certainly looks interesting. However I am not sure I'd need it if I am reading the chart correctly. On the left side where it reads 18 for the spec you supplied on the ART9, it lands at ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... For my set up to hit the sweet spot, what weight cartridge would accomplish this? | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Thanks for the input; I actually found the mass of the arm at 10 to 11 grams too. It’s too bad the ART9 doesn’t have tapped threaded mounting holes so that short/lighter screws could be used. I suppose aluminum mounting screws would be a good opti... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... OK, OK.... I have been following this thread for half the day (read from the start). I am sold. I was considering the Delos and the Clear Audio Concept MC Black also the Ortofon Quintet Black MC; but it looks like the ART9 will be it.I have some... |
