| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? @lewm @mijostyn almost sounds like the crowd over at ASR. He reads the specs, and decides what it's going to sound like. | |
| Transients hurting my ears on hifi solid state amps I work from home, and I listen between 8 and 12 hours a day, though most of that is not critical listening. I am also sensitive to "bright" components. I currently have 3 turntables, a Herron VTPH-2A phono preamp, and a BAT VK-30SE preamp. On t... | |

| Does the Eminent Technology 2.5 arm work well with the Transcriptors Reference turntable? I've owned an ET2.5 for almost 25 years, mounted on a VPI TNT 4. With all due respect to @mijostyn , he doesn't know what he's talking about with respect to the ET arms. I would not consider mounting one on a table with a loosely sprung suspensi... | |
| Lyra Cartridges @jpan Thanks for that. | |
| Lyra Cartridges Thanks, I will check those options out. | |
| Added an SUT...not sure I understood this The lower the ohm rating on a tap the higher the gain. As a rule of thumb, you should use the tap that most closely matches the internal resistance of your phono cartridge. | |
| Carver M-4.0T driving Magnepan MG-1 IMP I'm using a Bryston 4B SST2 to drive 1.7is. I've owned Bryston amplifiers since the mid 80s except for a short stint with a PS Audio Stellar S300, which was a very good amp too. | |
| Are You Happy With Your Phono Preamp? The PS Audio is a fine unit, but I wound up buying one of the last Herron VTPH-2A phono preamps. Not even a touch of regret and I've had no desire to make a change there. You might be able to find one used, but they don't come up often and they ... | |
| After the thrill is gone I've had planars for over 25 years. First, Apogee Duetta IIs and now Magneplanar 1.7is. I can't tell you what happens when the thrill is gone because it's never left. 😁 | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? Apogee Duetta II. I can't go back to boxed speakers. I still have them but one woofer panel is blown. Got a pair of Maggies to replace them until I can maybe get them repaired | |
| What do you consider the most when choosing a pair of speakers? How do they sound is first. Second is how do they sound. Third (are you noticing a trend here?). | |
| What is the best 2 channel listening chair? This may be a little off topic, but I'd be more interested in the best 7.1.4 chair. 😉 | |
| New equipment My personal experience is that if I find myself listening to the equipment instead of the music when I get a new component, it isn't the right component. | |
| Best Stereo Upgrade Value The single biggest improvement in my system was moving to planar magnetic speakers (Apogee Duetta IIs, and when those died, Magnepan 1.7i). |
