Conrad johson versus lamm
No clipping but with high volume i hear aggressive acute It is also possible that the Tweeters get overloaded, then they start to glare (a kind of your aggressive acute). It isn't so uncommon, Tweeters aren't so robust than other chassis, that's o... 
Conrad johson versus lamm
Dynaudios are more or less know to be a money grave for amplifiers. No matter what you do, the stronger amp will be always better, unfortunately good sound and high power is nearly impossible. Most high powered amps sound dead and boring. Quite a ... 
Wow/flutter issues P3-24 — measure motor accuracy?
Don't worry, there are lots of very, very expensive Turntables out there which can't hold the correct speed. When you want to check it (also in future for your next one), the best tool is the Timeline Strobe from Sutherland. 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
03-06-13: PeterayerSyntax, I presume that digital level also reads 0.0, 0.0 while it rests on the platter.click me softly Like Halcro wisely wrote, we do not need luck, we need someone who does something right.....btw. did you ever check the Pull... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
I do however maintain, that absolute level of platter and tonearms is pretty important.Done right ?You see, right side ----> Timeline Strobe.... :-)

What is a better route, tube or SS preamp?
Everything sounds pretty good, but I want it to sound great!In a way it will depend on the genius of the Designer (they are all genius, but there are differences ), there are good examples for one or the other design out there.But, at the end of ... 
Shuguang 12AX7 Pavane/Psvane Reference.
Rolling tubes with my Lamm ML2.1 made me curious for the Psvane 12AX7. I used normally Telefunken, Mullards or JAN Philipps as my favorite 12AX7. The Psvane is a great tube. Good gain, great image, deep soundstage and the high frequency area is to... 
Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge
I know a few who ripped LP's, all of them are lonely, their only friend is a cat or old dog, their only email is the daily result from their ebay searches and they wear pink or purple panties. I asked a ripper today "Jack, what is the flavor?" He ... 
Soundsmith re-tips received today
Some time ago I had a cartridge with the cheapest Soundsmith update - $150,-- - and I was really impressed about it. An excellent example for doing a great job in this overpriced business. 
Do stands make a difference for equipment?
Agear, at the end of day most stands should be seen as a design element. When you put some Sorbothane devices between Speaker and Stand (no matter which one) you have a very good working solution without spending big bucks.When you want a real vib... 
Do stands make a difference for equipment?
Charles, it is not arrogant. I had Copulare racks :-)Yes, my components are so good that there are no further improvements based on wood blocks. But you can try it yourself without spending a fortune...click me 
Cones under a suspended table?
Use a bicycle tube below the turntable. Better than any Mk 33.3 cones :-) 
Do stands make a difference for equipment?
Elizabeth wrote a very good comment. Normally nothing can be added except you have such rattling units like Audioquest4life owns, then you'll run in a real problem, when a piece of wood (= Copulare, a German Brand) makes tremendous differences :-)... 
Phono Preamp Gain Question
Gain is in a way a chain, even from Preamp to Amp is important or how easy your amps can drive your speakers... but generally a Phono Stage with 58-64dB will be right.Don't be fooled from excessive high Phono gain, most do not sound good at a leve...
