| AudioTechnica ART 9 users - break in, VTF/VTA and loading questions Jjss49-My time with the ART9 is going on 2 years. Mounted on a VPI Classic 1.Tail slightly up, 1.8 grams. 100 ohm loading as suggested by AT.I can't even hear any differences changing loading while playing, so I just leave it.Replaced a Koetsu Bla... | |
| My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated aionlim-the authority on PL is the distributor @ Upscale Audio.Kevin also sells a bazillion tubes, he can offer insight on the tube rolling thing. | |
| My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated saki70-your insight is appreciated. Guess I will pass on those. I have a hard enough time really picking out the subtleties between the 4 brands I have on hand.Presently rockin with a full rack of RCA glass:6L6G coke bottles and a row of blackplat... | |
| My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated Has anyone tried the Brimar 12au7 in the 2 L/R slots? I understand it to be a nice tube. Impressions? | |
| My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated "the bottom 2 positions (nearest to the front) don't really benefit"saki- do you mean to 2 INNERMOST positions?its always been my understanding(per distributor/most of discussions) is first stage L/R channel of the preamp circuitry(the other 2 are... | |
| My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated "..and used to pull Baldwin brand tubes"Jbhiller-if you're not already familiar:http://www.audiotubes.comReasonable pricing on tubes. Especially the cosmetically imperfect, otherwise fine RCA,GE brands. | |
| My first tube roll in a Primaluna Dialogue HP Integrated "Next up is a set of 6 ciftie military grade set of 12AU7s."I don't have an extensive collection of different NOS, but do hear the subtle refinements of the 2 preamp(innermost). The 2 other stages don't seem to be as sensitive to rolling. I ended ... | |
| Picking up my Prime on Saturday Stereo5-im jealous I'm not upgrading my VPI Classic to the Prime. Consider the Soundsmith Counterintuitive for future cart tweaking. Easy VTF & azimuth.Hopefully, you're plugging it into an equally competent phono stage?Happy listening! | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... "Having lived with the 9 for over a year now, I'm really wondering at what cost will a worthwhile improvement come at?"ps68- I mentioned in another thread at some point, we should see a MKII model and perhaps there is something to fill in the cons... | |
| Ahhhh...breaking in a cartridge. With all the praise and gushing the ART 9 has earned over these last couple years, imagine the hysteria it will cause for owners if AudioTechnica releases an MKII NEW AND IMPROVED version.Its been done with all their popular carts, so perhaps it’s... | |
| MC cartridge input - Lyra Delos or AT Art9 (or higher AT) Price difference between the 2 is significant, so comparing the 2 may not be ideal. Having heard both, the "value" cart is the ART 9.Subjectively, the 9 more neutral. Delos has the " focus" knob turned up a couple notches. Also the "tint" bumped.... | |

| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. toddverrone-yeah, it came with a modded CD deck. I was hesitant to use it. Apparently they have sold many over the years without disaster. Thought it lived up to its claims, but I moved on. I use the ribbon interconnects, which also are flimsy and... | |
| Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down. This ISNT advice on safety. Just perspective using a seemingly questionable PC.I used one of these for several years without any problems. The construction possibly Iis even more dagerous appearing!http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Double-Helix-MK1-... | |
