| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge Acutusrex- Sorry to have offended you; I was just trying to light-heartedly say I agreed w you. The cost is very high compared to the cost of a new product. However, rebuilding/re-tipping high end MC carts is a sub-niche of a niche market and one ... | |

| Fremer's review of the Anna cartridge But then I guess you can't just replace the stylus yourself... By jove, I think [s]he's got it!!! | |
| Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing? Al- Thx, after thinking about it more, I began to believe that the approach, which would limit the power output, would not have much effect at typical listening volumes, but I do not have the technical background to be sure. Rrog- If my integrated... | |
| Tubes/SS Power Amps? Orpheus10- I think Phaelon is on to something. Perhaps you have Class A operation confused w Sterephile Quality ratings? All Class A operation amps run hot because their active elements (read transistors) are carrying current all of the time. The ... | |

| Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing? All- sorry about the misspelled subject. Zd542- I thought of that but desperate times call for desperate measures ;-) Also I was thinking about only going from 0.20v nominal to 0.19v. So far the bias seems rock steady so I might go to a more sensi... | |
| Anyone going to the NY Audio show today to Sunday I'm headed down Saturday. | |
| Zyx vs. Van Den Hul The ZYX output figures are based on a different velocity (I think that's the parameter). Not sure about the technical details, but it results in a real world output that is quite a bit higher than the spec would suggest. You may want to talk to Me... | |
| Mcintosh MC240 can drive Dynaudio Temptation? Stereophile review available online. Measurement section says:The Temptation goes very loud with only a small input signal—I estimated its voltage sensitivity as a high 91dB(B)/2.83V/m. However, its impedance (fig.1) is moderately difficult, with ... | |
| NYC Audio Show this Friday, 12 APR 2013 ? I'll post later this week, once my plans get finalized. Swampwalker's always happy to meet a talking amphibian. | |
