| How is the OTL sound like? I use Atma-Sphere, the M-60 Mk II.2. These are a revelation. Their reproduction of dynamics, high frequencies, timbre, timing, bass, control is amazing. These are easily the most fluid, grain-free tube amps I ever heard. Super fast, clean and clea... | |
| Quad 34 Hm maybe a mismatch in the components.I owned a 34,44, the complete 22 System and in the living room is a 66/67/606 System working.I always liked the 34 and I owned a Rowland Consonance II at that time, too.I used it with Quad 22 tubes, but for th... | |
| Jeff Rowland Model 1 info The later Generation has more watts, when I remember right 90W compared to 75W.There is no difference between black and silver faceplates, it was only a option for personal taste.But both are switchable to Mono, then they are excellent,so buy 2 of... | |
| Anyone using Schroeder arms? Opinions pls. I didnt listen to a Schroeder Model 2 ButI did a comparison between a Graham 2.0 de Luxe and a Schroeder Model 1.The Schroeder Model 1 Arm Tube was specially made for the Takeda cartridge.Table was a Basis Debut V vacuum with a replaceable Arm Bo... | |
| ZYX Fuji vs. Lyra Helicon I believe you, when you write that in your System sounds best with a xyz load. It is in a way System dependant,when I go down from 47 k ot let's say 100ohms I can NOT hear some Details I heard before. They are gone. And the presentation became slo... | |
| ZYX Fuji vs. Lyra Helicon I think, too, the Helikon is a good cartridge.Based on the big differences with quality of a Phono Stage and the load it is difficult to give a final Statement.The Helikon is made for 47 K, like all Lyras.From the musical presentation I like the Z... | |
| Which Lyra Helicon? Yes.Should be silent.( I need for my Miyabi ( 0.22mV ) 60 dB and 47k ) | |
| Where do you start your cable upgrade? Source to PreAmp to Speakerthen the rest | |
| Best Tonearm match for ZYX Airy 1000X It works and sounds very good with the Graham Arm | |
| Aesthetix Question I use a Aesthetix Callisto Line Stage ( Signature ), not a IO, but I can say some general:From my experience ( digital and analog ) is the use of a line stage with a phono stage always superior than a CD/analog with vol pots.( This is something fo... | |
| What's a good step-up transformer? There is also one available from ZYX.A very interesting design. | |
| Phono interconnect recommendation? I use the Phono Cable from XLO. It is from their Signature Series.This one is specially designed for phono signals and it is shielded,too.I had so much more information compared to others, I had problems to believe that.I can be made for all kind ... | |
| The heat of tubes... I like listening to music in shorts and a T-Shirt.I have no problems with that. And my cartridge is always right on temperature. | |
| Dedicated phono cable or quality IC I think, the phono cable is the most important one from the whole system ( when going serious into the cable 'mania' ).I would choose a cable, which was designed for phono signals only, not a renamed standard RCA cable.I use for example the Signat... |
