| LP12 Setup: Dead & Lifeless: Where's the air? Hm, unfortunately I think, this is not possible, beside huge tweaking.I never saw a LP12 which was able to create 'air '. All were - more or less - dull, slow, coloured with no inspiration.Your description about being dead and lifeless is normal, ... | |

| VPI 10.5 vs Graham 2.2 For me, without doubt the Graham.Excellent quality !And every setting is possible ( Azimuth, VTA ....)Used Scan Tech and Benz system with it. Great.And the replacable arm wands is the real thrill for cartridge collectors .... | |
| VPI Aries vs Basis Turntable...which one??? Go for the Basis.Excellent built quality, superior sound.Works always, no change in settings. | |
| Power cord recommendations for Martin Logan Ascent I agree, with being critical about reviewer's ' opinions '.My friend tried Cardas Power Cords with his Logans and the best XLO Power Cords.Normal power cords work, but the music is a bit slow, less dynamic. He prefered the XLO, the music was more ... | |
| Clearaudio ref phono - any reviews or comments? Some time ago my dealer told me a story about one of his customers,a vinyl collector, who has a very expensive stereo system and lots of cartridges ( Insider, Koetsu, Benz ), too.He was looking for a new, good phono preamp. He had for loan, both c... | |
| Linn or VPI Linn is wasted money. It never works properly, when you open the window, it will sound different ,it is coloured and totally overrated. Maybe it was not bad in the 80's but today, forget it.I listened to maybe 10 different ones, all adjusted from ... | |
| Pass Aleph vs. McCormack: What to Expect? I own the Pass Aleph 0, these are Mono's, but before these I tried various amps , bi-amping and so on, so I can say in general:When you go for another Aleph 3, everything will be better ( better focus, better dynamic and bass, larger soundstage, b... | |
| Recommendation from dCS gear owners I did try that, to connect my DAC directly to the M-60's and my Pass amps.The result is much worse than using a high quality preamp between. My digital combo is adjustable in every area ( DCS units ). The ONLY sound best when their digital volume ... | |
| Why vinyl? inpepinnovations, something more to say ?Or is that all ?It is a example my friend and btw, a picture shot with a SLR Camera and a colour slide film is much more sharper,has much more colour information than a picture shot with a digital camera.Th... | |
| Why vinyl? The Sonic Differences: Just what is it about vinyl’s sound that gives it the sonic edge? Perhaps the most effective way for me to contrast the differences I hear between the two mediums is to compare them to two differing motion-picture formats, c... | |
| Questions about a new Ruby 2 cartridge 47 k loadWell, it is a point of view like the opinions about best speakers, best amp and so on.From my experience with top equipment the last 10 years I went always back to 47 k load for most MC carts, there is the most information, FM Acoustics h... | |
| Questions about a new Ruby 2 cartridge I used the Ruby, too. It needs about 50 hours playing time.First it is like you wrote but it will become better and better. After 100 h it is great.all new cart. need some playing time, some more, some less.Your 47 k setting is the right one ( whe... | |
| What is the next Phono Pre-Amp for me? There are some very good phono stages out there without doubt.Sooner or later you have to choose it based on your own priorities.Counting brands only is useless, you have to know what they can and what not.- excellent sound ( + enough gain )- reli... | |
| www.high-endaudio.com & Arthur Salvatore In read his site many times and I like his kind of writing.It is so different to the useless blah, blah in Stereophile or most other magazines.His combination : dealer + knowledge + honesty is ultra rare in my opinion.I own or listend to quite a f... |
