| Single vs Multiple driver loudspeakers... I have single driver speakers(Lowther) and I'm very happy with them. As reported above, the immediacy and transparency are truly amazing, as is the coherency. I don't think that I could easily return to the multi-driver type of speaker, unless it ... | |
| Can the Manley Neoclassic 300B handle a 2 ohm load Not a suitable combination.Efficiency match is ok, but the impedance match is poor. Look for an 8 ohm speaker for this amp.If you want to keep the speakers, then you need an amp capable of low impedance loads, which is not any SET amp, nor most tu... | |
| OK time for Christmas Music My all time Christmas favorite is the Mercury Living Presence LP set of "The Nutcracker Suite". Simply glorious. | |
| SET--Cary/Sophia 300/845 bassed amps Avguygeorge, try a David Berning Siegfried ZOTL Single-ended 300B or 811 amp.It will really do what the Lowthers are looking for. Probably about $4500-$5k used, but worth every penny of it.It eliminates all the output transformer related issues, a... | |
| Newbie Analog Question Adds wear to the stylus, carves out the lead-out groove, but shouldn't really do any significant damage if you catch it relatively early.Letting it run like that for overnight, on a regular basis will cause the cartridge to wear out much faster, a... | |
| Denon DL-103R or AT OC9MkII They are both very good cartridges.In your case, the decision is easy, because as much as I love the DL103R, it is not well suited to the MMT tonearm.I vote for the OC9 in this particular case. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone Pat is simply the finest man you'll ever meet.Devotion and integrity have never had a better practician and advocate.I've known Pat for years now, and we are close friends.This news saddens me greatly, but I know Pat is tough and has been through ... | |
| Isolation platform for non suspended turntable? Adding a spring-type base, or one with rubber, or one with air bladders, is simply making your turntable a suspended turntable, instead of an unsuspended one.If you want to make the most of your unsuspended turntable, then you should look at stand... | |
| what's the next upgrade What about cables and points? | |
| Review: Monument Reference Signature Series SoundPosts Tweak Nice review.A few years ago, I tried using cones with various shapes made of various hardwoods, including cocobolo, brazilian rosewood, ebony, maple, walnut, and mahogany. I did this for similar reasons that you described above, they were tone woo... | |
| TT to vintage amp w/ 5 pin DIN, how to connect? If the amp has an input called "phono" or "disc" it has a phono preamp built-in. In 1969, there was no CD, and "disc" was sometimes used as the label for phono inputs on earlier British gear.I am not familiar enough with your unit to know whether ... | |

| TT to vintage amp w/ 5 pin DIN, how to connect? It is likely that you can use a B&O RCA to 5-pin DIN adapter for turntables. I have done this with some other British gear, like Armstrong receivers, and it was the same pinout. Can't guarantee, but it is likely.Or you could make your own adap... | |
| Motor and spindle bearing for DIY turntable If you want to make a decent main bearing for a low cost DIY TT, take a large brass bolt, and drill a 1/4"hole down the center. Polish it up inside, and use a long 1/4" non-tapered roller from a roller bearing. Push this into your platter all the ... | |
| Who will survive? One last table til I die. Raul, the EA-230 is the older Berning design, which used traditional output transformers. I am referring to the new ZOTL designs which are completely different than the EA-230 was. My amplifier is a ZOTL design.It is still not "perfect" for all sp... |
