| External step-up transformer with Io or MP-1 I'd like to know what people have found to sound best in practice. Unfortunately, there is no general rule. Some Cartridges sound well without SUT AND are also good sounding when you connect it to such a unit.And some wake up with it, some not an... | |
| A higher level than Mullard in tube quality? All are excellent tubes.. Yes, I think, that's the point. It is always depending on the System in General (analytic, cold/warm etc.) and how the unit works with it...I have Mullards, Telefunken, Jan Phillipps, GE and so on here and in one unit one... | |
| Phantom Arm VTA change from regular to 180 gram LP A little bit higher, but honestly it depends on your cartridge. Some are more sensitive to VTA than others.When it is done, you have to check the VTF, otherwise you can't compare it.When your arm is new, you also need 100h for the wire in the Arm ... | |
| HIGH output MC verses High MC??? In general, low output MC's sound better than those with higher output (but not always). It depends on the quality of the Phono Stage and the Gain of the System in general.I think, MC's with higher output make for most listeners the life a bit eas... | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling Hello Alexc, my local Dealer ordered them from the Distributor. They are a little bit stiff, not much, there is no problem to use them with a rack close to the wall.When you are looking for a soft power cable, I also have some from XLO and I repla... | |
| Reissue 180 grms vs original issue I stopped buying Speaker Corner Reissues, compered a few and all of them sound hazy, like listening through a curtain compared to Originals. Probably it will depend on the quality of the analog Playback system but the latest comparison I did, was ... | |
| Lamm ML2 power cords and tube rolling I use the Oyaide Tunami Power Cords.A friend compared them with those from NBS (don't know which model) and prefered the Oyaide. | |
| Audio-Technica AT637 Electronic Stylus Cleaner I own that one, too. Perfect. | |
| Excellent turntables with threaded spindles ? Kuzma Reference | |
| Transfiguration Temper W vs. V-sound differences ? I prefer the low output version. It is more clear, staging is different and in my opinion the dynamic Range is superior. | |
| Will SME 90 DIN work with Graham 2? Yes, no problem. I use one, too. | |
| Zanden 1200s, have they done it again? Well, when you think, that a Lamm LP2 is dark, closed in and not neutral, you should probably look for something different. How about a ML25 Phono, or a Pass Xono? | |
| Top turntables? I agree with Partckamory, I have the same experience. My friend runs that one with this original SME 3012, another one uses the same heavy Ikeda Arm.MUCH better than in a Triplanar, it works of course, but these Denons are better in Heavy Arms. I ... | |
| Common Same experience. I had a Thread about it, too:Records without ticks, pops .... | |
| Opinions please I think, there is probably a misunderstanding: The Problem is NOT how to clean them (manual with a brush or with a motor), or how long you want to leave the cleaning fluid on the surface, the REAL Difference is the way to remove the fluid. Here ar... |
