| Benz Ebony LP loading ..and yet, The Absolute Sound or Stereophile exclaimed the LP as truely something special and put it in their highest category. I'm going to continue my quest to mke this thing work. I'll report my progress | |
| Aduioquest Sky & Cheetah I must tell you that because I have Vandersteen 5A's, and because Mr.V wires those spkrs with Audioquest silvers, I naturally had Sky and their comparable spkr wires on loan to try. You're not going to believe this, and neither did I. I auditioned... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading ..and Happy Holidays to all of you. I feel like you are all my friends and are on my side trying to get this damned thing to work. The gain of the preamp set at 60db. The volume control is set at the sometimes 11:00, sometimes 12:00 position depen... | |
| Name a couple of HOLY GRAIL LPs Here are a few of my favorites. Not only is the sound wonderful, but the music is as well. Class of 55 - I got this album at a garage sale for 50 cents and it is wonderful. The sound is probably the best I've ever heard recorded. It was recorded a... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Why a step up transformer?? My preamp is certainly capable..an Ayre K1xe. | |
| Pls Recommend Grado Green vs. Red P-Mount for Me? I would get the best cartridge I could afford. You will always hear a difference - even if your turntable was a Webcor. You have to make the decission if audio quality means anything. | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Thanks for the information on the LP. Because of you, I am running it now at 47k. The bass and mids are much better, but the highs are much too strident now. I touched base with Ayre the other day who is sending me a few different loads to try. Th... | |
| Pls Recommend Grado Green vs. Red P-Mount for Me? You really shouldn't be afraid of the quality on=line suppliers. AudioAdvisor, MusicDirect, etc. If you just have an occasional need for vinyl, then anything will do. The P-mount requires an adapter (it may come with the cartridge - youd better in... | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Ok - you piqued my interest, and I had nothing to do, so I played around with the damping in my arm. It is the 10.5i that I just installed on my Superscoutmaster which had previously been a 9 Sig. I have a Benz Micro Ebony LP, and discovered that ... | |
| An Audiophile Goal Nice, Padrillo | |
| Best results using what fulids with VPI or Steam cleaning is really the best way to clean a record. I just use my Nitty Gritty to vacuum off the condensed water. | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? I asked that very question to Harry Weisfield of VPI and to Musical Surroundings. I have a Benz LP. Musical Surroundings said I can try but they recommnd very little if any. Harry said basically the same thing for my cratridge, but recommends damp... | |
| Raven owners - how's your mid-range? Stuff happens. I had a Superscoutmaster with the 9 inch arm into which I had installed a Benz Ebony H. The sound was absolutely gorgeous with deep subteranean effortless lows, huge sound stage with layers of depth, air, and all the good stuff. You... | |
| Move from Benz H20 to Denon DL301 You must know that the Ace comes in 3 colors and corresponding outputs. If you like the Ace call Musical Surroundings (the importer) and see if you can trade or change to an even higher quality cartridge. They have a very liberal trade up/exchange... | |
| An Audiophile Goal My goal when I listen to music is to be moved by the music. Whether the system goes from 20-20000 hz. has nothing to do with it..as long as the system can reproduce the music in a musical way. A big problem with many systems is that not the big dy... |
