| I'm a beginner Haven’t heard the Impressions - but they look like classic ML hybrids, which should be superb for HT. My Prodigies, also ML hybrids, worked very well with older Bryston SST amps. | |
| I'm a beginner Sorry, didn't read your post properly. You already have fine speakers.I currently use 2 pairs of Quads for HT and audio: two on each side of the TV. The interior pair acts as centre channel, and the result is amazingly good. But the Quads are goin... | |
| I'm a beginner This hobby is supposed to be fun. With $15K in your jeans, it should be a LOT of fun. Start with some magazines and books. After you are familiar with the vocabulary, and have digested some expert views, go shopping. Visit high end stores and see ... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus I think you'd better turn in your audiophile credentials, Rob. Without theatre and extravagance, where would this hobby be?The purpose of a small weight is to positively decouple the ME from the stylus when the stylus is raised by the cuing lever.... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus I found it useful to cut a small square of Magic Eraser into a wedge shape and glue it to a silver coin. A gold coin would solve the low-cost problem. If you decide to glue the Magic Eraser to something, make VERY sure that the something, like a c... | |
| anybody buying into magnetic levitation "eliminates the effects of any vibration" ? Opposed like magnetic poles act like a spring. Vibration is transmitted, but excursion is reduced and damped. The spring constant determines the stiffness of the spring.Maglev is a great technology, but not close to a cartridge, IMO. | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter @lewm Very good! | |
| Component isolation Michael, you say that," ... when you dampen vibrations you’re also dampening part of the audio signal." In my system, parasitic resonances (all resonances are a form of vibration) such as those excited in the tonearm, are not part of the audio sig... | |
| Is a Bryston 3B SST2 enough for Magnepan 3.7i or 20.7? I agree with Elizabeth and Almarg.I spent all my loot on Tympani 1a's back in the day, and got by with lesser amps for years. It was a very good decision. 20.7's all the way! | |
| Turntable options Ortofon has a very good page on the subject of cartridge-tonearm resonance. | |
| Turntable options Yes, I think that the jade is the most beautiful of all. Glad it's worked so well for you! | |
| Turntable options Hambon, consider a budget for cleaning your vinyl. I found that US cleaning made about the same improvement as doubling the cost of a major component. Of course, YMMV. | |
| Turntable options @whart What Koetsu did you decide upon? Welcome to the Promised Land! | |
| Turntable options Suspension. Do you need it?My TT's live on a concrete floor sited on rock. Miles from the nearest highway. I don't need suspension, so I don't pay for it.Like a Nottingham Analogue Dais TT. I have the previous model with the Dais bearing, and I up... | |
