| Mounting a Mono cartridge Roscoeiii and Br3098Many thanks. Mission accomplished. Mounted the Miyajima BE on the Durand Talea 2 exactly as I would a stereo cart matching the leads and there was zero hum or any noise issues. No idea how much breakin the Miyajima requires but... | |
| Mounting a Mono cartridge RoscoeiiiMany thanks. I presume you get a hum if you don't get the leads to match...OTW this is no more complicated than mounting a stereo cart etcBest | |
| Which is REALLY the best Conrad Johnson Preamp I was lucky to snag a barely used GAT on Agon a while back and it's a big leap from the CJ CT 5. With tube rolling EH 6922 > Seimens ECC 88s >Seimens CCa, this is an incredible preamp in terms of texture with absolutely no grain, silly smoot... | |
| Better sounding after 1 hour My gear sounds distinctly better after I have warmed up....usually it's a decent single malt if I am not broke OTW good ole rum is fine. I am told though I can't vouch for this that a wee drop of spirit in the tube sockets does wonders...NJoy | |
| Ideal material for wall mounted TT shelf Many thanks for your responses. This is a dedicated basement listening room with the TT mounted on a RCC wall that is part foundation of a 3 story building. According to my architect friend as this is a load bearing wall there should be no problem... | |

| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 WolfSuper stuff. Couldn't agree more.Bol1972I was running REL subs with Quad 2905s. If a sub can keep up with a planar speaker, IMHO, it would be difficult to classify it as slow no matter what quality of hooch you prefer . | |
| Lyra Atlas compared to Lyra Titan i I have owned both. The Titan i was traded in for the Atlas. Both are great carts, among the very best available . I can't think of a single parameter in which the Titan i is superior to the Atlas. YMMV | |
| Which REL sub, R528 or B2 Go for the 528. It's an outstanding sub, easy to connect and integrate. I was never happy with the B2. Been tremendously satisfied and still own the G1x2, 505x2 and a solitary 305.All the best | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Ct0157FWIW my TW AC with BN PSU and 3 motor unit takes 8 seconds for the platter to come to a complete halt after pressing the stop button and with the tone arm at rest | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic MoonglumProbably the most sensible post on Agon or anywhere else I've read in a long while. It would do good for many of us opionated, egotistical audiophiles to realise the harm that we can easily cause a small enterprise with our superiority com... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic It's unfortunate the turn this thread has taken. It's a pity that most TW threads end up this way. The OP asked an innocent question regarding a comparison between two reputable brands. I suspect he had no clue this would lead to so much bile. A l... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus EbmWhat's the budget for a Proteus? Unable to find anything online.Thanks | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic TaudioWell said. Boys are boys and we must play with our toys but it would't hurt to play as sensible and mature adults...My apologies for the pontification... |
