Bidat vs Perfect Wave vs Weiss and others
Guys, in my experience Firewire is the best connection. I do wish read until right ripping were the rule. Despite the bit perfect claims for various drivers, I am suspicious of such claims given the time ripping takes on my Mac Powerbook. All that...

Geopolitis, have you heard the Aaron electronics?Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Thanks for the clarification, Geopolitis. Have you heard the Ypsilon preamp or amps? They are the only electronics I have heard on the Contrivas Disceras SEs.

Argyro, for some it means that it is not a real sounding but nevertheless enjoyable sound. I just wonder how Geopolitis meant it, as he said the Sovereigns were more musical than the Tidals. Believe me, I can more easily afford the Sovereigns, but...

Geopolitis, the word "musical" always concerns me. In what way are the Sovereigns more musical than the Tidals? How close do you think the Sovereign preamp gets to the Tidal Preos?Calloway, you probably heard at Axponda what I heard at the last RM...

Karelfd, while I greatly appreciate you ardent comments, you cannot imagine what torment they cause me. Were I 30 years younger I would have to find a way to get the Presencio, but at this age, I just cannot afford one. But I think I must seek a P... 
Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF
Mikelavigne, it sounds like for this cartridge, the Reed has the optimum resonance frequency. I will soon be getting a Bergman tt and will be able to see where I need to see how low a tracking force I can use as well as what VTA is optimal.In some... 
Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF
Vetterone, when you say "sweet spot" you seem to suggest that you could go lower but that the sound was not as good. Would the A90 in the Tri-Planar track at a lower tracking weight, but not sound as good?I guess I am old guard. I set everything u...

Karelfd, I was afraid someone would say that. How about the Preos? You must be in Europe to hear these components. Thanks for telling us your experiences. 
Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF
Mike, yes by having everything fixed the Shindo minimizes what needs to be adjusted, including overhang and tracking weight. I just remember the old Shure tracking test records where you sought the lowest tracking weight before mistracking.While I... 
Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF
Mike, I still wonder what your quest is. Is it the lightest tracking force or the sound? I assume that you are redoing the VTA with each lower tracking weight. Is that the case? Also, are you readjusting the overhang in each case? Do you have a mi... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Joeyboynj, doesn't a Precision with the special chassis mount come with the PowerCell 10SE? 
Best ss phono with volume control
Murataltuev, are you in Europe? 
Most NEUTRAL class A mono's
Peteferg, I had the Sanders Sound Megtech amp for non-esls. It is extraordinarily powerful and sounds great and definitely a best buy at $5000, but i don't think it is in the league of the Tidals and Sovereigns, although I need to say I am going w...

Geopolitis, do you mean the preamp is the best?
