| Lowther speakers for Fisher X-202-B? For those who have not heard the latest Lowther changes to the whizzer cone, it is a significant improvement over the old whizzer that had no stiffening gusset on the unsupported edge. The new whizzer has a completely different edge shape now, and... | |
| My current Benz-Micro ACE low or Koetsu Black? I personally feel that you can do better for your money by upgrading the table before spending that much on a cartridge. | |
| THE05: StTropez 1101: comments I think Eduardo de Lima is a very astute audio designer, who's articles I have read with great interest.I'm sure that his electronics are first rate. | |
| Objects Between Speakers Generally, large things situated between the speakers can have an effect on the sound, due to sound waves reflecting off these things.The severity of this effect may vary depending on the location of the items, the reflectivity of the items, the r... | |
| Review: David Berning Co MicroZOTL Tube amp Very Cool! | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge DL103S is one of the other higher cost Denon models.If the cantilever is bent, the cartridge is toast. | |
| THE05: StTropez 1810: comments I liked the sound in that room also, mostly with the Hartsfields. I went back to that room a couple of times, and also enjoyed Ralph's amplifiers.The wood boxes behind the amps are the outboard crossovers for the speakers. | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Fernando, I'm glad I was able to help you out.I'd really love to share that bottle of Mezcal with you!The best Mezcal I ever had was at a beach near Puerta Vallarta called Las Animus(not sure of the spelling), where the local people were selling h... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Jean, when using that DL103 on the Rega tonearm, you simply must try my DIY HiFi mod with the 7/16 ounce bullet shaped fishing weights on the ends of the bearing axle nuts. You can just Blu-Tack them on for testing purposes, if you want.You'll rea... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Johnnantais, I'm happy that you have had the opportunity to try out the DL103 cartridge, and that you liked it.I also liked it, but when I tried the DL103R, it sounded much better(to my ears, in my system). I think it is well worth the extra money... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Fernando, when using a step-up transformer, the output of the transformer is designed to be plugged into the active phono section with a 47k ohm loading(the Levinson phono input should be loaded at 47k ohms).The actual cartridge loading then is to... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Yes, that was the room.I have to say that I was just referring to the amp comparison in my previous post, and the speakers were an excellent iteration of the Lowther Academy design.Extremely good construction quality, and beautifully finished.I'd ... | |
| THE05: StTropez 1507: comments I think Ted's room was awesome!He's also a really nice guy, and we had alot of fun at the show together.Ted has some really leading edge products. | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? If your MM board has 38db gain, even the addition of your Cotter probably will not get you quite enough gain for the DL103R. But it might be close to enough, if your linestage section has 20db or more gain.Regarding the phono cartridge re-think, t... | |
| Nelson Pass First Watt amp F1 Trelja, since it is rated 10 watts per channel, I think it is limited to higher efficiency designs. |
