| Small Room. Go for it or forget about it? In a small room,first-order crossovers are a necessity.You will not have the distance to allow the sound to re-assemble.In near-dield set-ups,tweeter height vs seating height is more of a factor.If the tweeter is dominant,things will appear to be ... | |
| Componets first, cables second? When you maximize the components,when the time comes to buy cabling it will be easier to decide on them.Synergistic matching of a cable to a bright or dull component generally means that both will need the upgrade at the same time.If you are able ... | |
| Cartridge Leads Clearaudio makes a good phono cartridge connector.Michael Percy may be able to supply the VDHs. | |
| Kenwood L-09m's - Keep or Sell? I believe that speaker is fairly efficient and an easy load,why not tubes?Listen with the L-09s and report your sonics-like/don't,then take suggestions. | |
| Shorter or longer ICs? Does anyone remember the Walker table review,where HP had to run a 3 meter IC from the table to the phono.No bass.Anyone heard the Walker? I don't think it has that defiency.My vote goes for shortest IC and longer speaker cables.Most amps generate... | |
| Shorter or longer ICs? Where do you have the most signal drive (IE;higher voltage/current)?That should determine your answer,as there wil;l be some loss transmitting a signal through any cable. | |
| VTA For Scoutmaster Start with the arm level with the platter.Raising the back of the arm/lower VTA will strengthen the lower frequencies and add weight.Raising will articulate the bass and add sparkle. | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos You might want to audition the PrimaLuna KT-88 monos.I would definitely upgrade the input and driver tubes,along with an after-market PC.Check their audition policy,don't know if there is a re-stock charge.For $2700,the other upgrades might leave ... | |
| funk firm t'tables? I am assembling an analog rig,which will center around the Funk Vector.My conversations with their supplier seems to indicate that the mounting of this table on its' sorbothane feet has pros and cons.The table is a de-coupled affair and the suppli... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos The ATMs were very much a midrangy affair,though they did mate with the Yankee FPR 72s very synergistically.The Siemens EL-34s were a must in that amp,not the AEGs.Better drive in UL,but lost that beautiful midrange lushiness.Resale is terrible.Al... | |
| Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monos I had these in house,while waiting for my Air Tight ATM-3s.Very musical and dynamic,but not the last word in down-to-the-noise-floor resolution.That said,they were enjoyable and very dependable,with a musical harmonic structure. | |
| funk firm t'tables? Cyto, Have you experimented with other footers/lifting the table off the sorbothane ffet? | |
| funk firm t'tables? Seeing that the Funk Vector with Incognito RB 300 is almost in the same price range as the new Clearaudio Performance,can anybody compare arms or complete tables:Satisfy,RB 250/300 modded or the Origin OL/Encounter? | |
| funk firm t'tables? Thank you for your response.Being a dealer,would you feel it appropriate to address the arm/cartridge questions?It has been a long while since I had exposure to the current crop. Would the compliance or other issues affect your choice of arm/cartr... | |
