| Does it matter what power amp i get? Of course, practically any amp "will work" and make sound come out.It is a matter of how much sound quality you want.There are amps which could cost from $50 to $50,000 and what you are probably looking for is somewhere in the middle. Pick a budge... | |
| Lowther Speaker Amp Recommendations I had the Berning MicroZotl(headphone amp) with my Lowthers, and I found it to be a wonderful sounding amp, but just a little too weak to get the volume levels that I wanted in my large room. I have since moved up to another Berning SET ZOTL amp w... | |
| Tonearm for Teres turntable - approx $1000 - ?? With an 11.5gram effective mass tonearm, I get around 10Hz as your calculated resonant frequency in the horizontal plane, and 11.2Hz in the vertical plane, using your listed formula. 10Hz horizontal and 11Hz vertical is just fine. The actual measu... | |
| Tonearm for Teres turntable - approx $1000 - ?? Hi OakIris,Cartridge compliance is the stiffness of the suspension donut that holds the cantilever assembly in the body of the cartridge. It is the thing that allows the coils to be moved inside the magnetic field inside the cartridge. The complia... | |
| DL103 vs. DL103R Letranger, I really don't think so. The loading of the DL103R can affect the top end, and you can adjust the loading at your phono stage to get the top end you want. Just load it at 80 ohms instead of 100 ohms, and you are going to drop that rise ... | |
| Tonearm for Teres turntable - approx $1000 - ?? As long as you are planning to stay in the medium compliance range of cartridges, such as the ZYX, then unipivots can be a valid choice for a tonearm. As the compliance of cartridges gets lower, it becomes more and more difficult for unipivots to ... | |
| Atma-Sphere M60 or David Berning ZH270? It sounds to me like you've already made the decision, because of the items you listed being already in favor of the Berning amp.I use Berning amplifiers and their sound quality is extremely good, tube life is much longer than most amps, ease of u... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Welcome home Pat.It was refreshing to hear you sounding so good when we spoke a few days ago.I'll be calling again soon, and we can catch up on all the stuff that happened since you got home. | |
| DL103 vs. DL103R When I do my listening reviews, I always try to point out some potential shortcomings, even if the item is exhibiting extraordinary performance for its price range. It is of no use to just rave about a product's performance, and give no "down side... | |
| SET Owners.. what the dif 845vs 6c33 tube sound I would advise listening to some of the most best and most expensive SET amps you can find. Preferably listen on a very good single driver loudspeaker system of high efficiency. This will give you a "benchmark" of what a good SET can do.One of the... | |
| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Monitor Well Warren, you have been right all along, according to the recent accolades from the audiophile press about the Caravelles.Congratulations on being ahead of the game, and out in front on the cutting edge of performance monitor speaker systems. | |
| DL103 vs. DL103R Ok, the bottom line here is that the DL103R is definitely the better cartridge. The comments that I made which were quoted above were meant to reflect the comparison against not only the 103, but other excellent cartridges as well.While there may ... | |
| DarTZeel NHB-108 Is this the best amp ever? I think it is incumbent on the person giving information about these amps to tell us what speakers are being used, and any other equipment was involved in the evaluation, too.These amps don't play without speakers, and matching can make or break a... | |
| Single vs Multiple driver loudspeakers... Manger has a pretty cool concept with their wave-bending transducer. It seems like it would have alot of interest, but the high cost might get in the way. The drivers cost quite a bit for experimentation purposes. Most of the info that I've read s... | |
| How long does cable technology take to 'turn'? I think it simply has to do with when you get "the itch". |
