| EAR Phonobox = HORRIBLE First thing that I said, and Lew said, so great! No vitriol Lew, you are a great gent! | |
| EAR Phonobox = HORRIBLE Lew, as I said, it seemed unlikely that the impedance mismatch would cause the On the EAR phono stage when low gain (MM) is selected the input impedance is fixed at 47K and cannot be changed, except by selecting high gain (MC) where the input imp... | |
| "I Trust My Ears" The whole thread reads like an entry level introduction to physiology, thanks teach. | |
| EAR Phonobox = HORRIBLE A few thoughts, but I’m just throwing spit on the wall abscent any further info. First, your cartridge is a moving magnet, is it possible that it is connected to the moving coil input of the phono pre? There is a button on the back that is marked... | |

Conti passed too early as well and Jolanta was thrust into a business that she was not all that conversant wi... | |
| Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile? I change gear too often. It would not be practical for me, I would rather listen to music or surf the ads. And I have only been here for 25 years, so there is plenty more time. I’m not sure that it really speaks to experience anyway, I have worke... | |

| Basis Audio - Exhorbitant servicing evaluation cost How about some first hand experience from a Basis owner who had extensive interaction with the company last year? I purchased a modest Basis 2000 turntable and it had an arm board cutout that did not seem to be dimensionally correct for most of t... | |
