| I have joined in the ZYX Family Glad you are still enjoying it! My experience with loading my 4D is similar to yours. I set my Allnic H-3000 at 117 ohms, with 66db of gain, which sounded best to my ears on that particular phono stage. I tried the H-3000 at 278 ohms, but one can ... | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? I was building a new music room that I wanted to share with my family. I wanted an amp that would not heat up the room so that the others in my family would hang out with me. I previously had an OTL amp which sounded excellent but turned my room ... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! bondmanp -I am reading your updates with great interest. I have the option of receiving my SC-2 early, without the track splitting functionality, which they said would be automatically downloaded when it is ready to go. I am wondering if your auto... | |
| I have joined in the ZYX Family I too bought a ZYX 4D recently. I got mine from Sorasound, also for a great price. I am really liking it, it is a match made in heaven for my Triplanar tonearm. | |
| The state of Yamamoto Soundcraft products Thank you tooblue. That is the same email address that I used. I will try again. | |
| The state of Yamamoto Soundcraft products tooblue - How did you contact Yamamoto? A couple of weeks ago, I used the email address that is on their website, and I still have not heard back from them. I have a YDA-02 usb dac that developed a problem. | |

| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) We will see used GAE's and G's in the classifieds when the SP-10R starts to sell, as some audiophiles will want to upgrade. | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! bondmanp - No I have not. I only have read some posts and Fremer's initial impression. I'm looking for an easy way to digitize my fairly large vinyl collection. The SC-2 is very appealing to me. I just got a Coincident Statement Phono Stage, which... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! I put a deposit down for an SC-2, but I am not in the beta tester group. Sounds like the SC-1 is very close to rolling out. I'm hoping to read the impressions of SC-1 owners about the real-time click and pop removal feature. | |
| Scale and Type of Improvement with Aurender N100H? Depends on your Mac Mini.The audio dealer that I bought my Mac Mini from personally owned both the Aurender N100H and the Mac Mini at the same time. The Mac Mini is a 2012 model with i7, 128gb SSD, 16gb RAM, linear power supply, and extraneous pro... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Okay, the fact that your amps are 20 watts clarifies things. Very cool tweak! Seems more of an issue of room/speaker interface.Merlins are great speakers for smaller rooms, but in my experience, and apparently yours, they do lose a sense of scale ... | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic Another option would be to keep your Merlins, which are excellent speakers, and find a more suitable amp. I used an 80 watt OTL amp with excellent results, and also tried a 22 watt push pull 300b amp that worked well.. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic By the way, I would keep the Frankensteins. They are very capable of giving you the traits that you are looking for, when paired with the right speakers. | |
| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic I was in a very similar position – I had a pair of Merlins at the time that I bought my Frankensteins and CSLS. I also went from a medium-small room to a large room.I’m not surprised about your experience with your Merlins. Mine were a pair of VSM... |
