| Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex ArshFor what its worth I also found some magic lies with low impedance MCs, but I dont know why exactly. Your explanation above is appreciated. I actually mistook the magic to be brought by low output, which usually is found with low impedance car... | |
| Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex Hi Arsh,Have yet to see a Colobri with less that 14ohm. Also its a leaner sounding cartridge to what you have. Also helps if you have a very flexible/configurable phono in terms of loading & gain. Not sure if you enjoy fine tuning catridge set... | |
| Should I bypass my Shunyata Hydra power conditioner? Sorry to report that my excitement with bypassing the line conditioner was short-lived. With the added dynamics and treble, I also experienced ear fatigue! The result was that most days I wouldn't even feel like switching the system on to play som... | |
| Should I bypass my Shunyata Hydra power conditioner? Thanks to this post I just bypassed the line condition with very positive results reported here, thanks! | |
| Fuses in the 3 speed SME PSU Many thanks gents!I had asked SME the same question and their response is similar to yours.Plan abandoned. | |
| Fuses in the 3 speed SME PSU mike, thanks for the feedback. I take it that you once upgraded the fuses and didn't hear a difference? | |
| What's the best isolation system? I clicked on the topic thinking somebody wants advise on the best sound system for self isolation...Sorry | |
| Lyra Kleos or Kleos SL? It's good that the OP has come to a decision so quickly! For most of us audiophilia is a journey, and he can change his mind in the future... | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other Please also make sure that all those tiny multicoloured wires from the SUT are soldered properly. I once had the orange one loose on the R channel and that diminished fidelity. | |
| Advice on SUT for Koetsu Rosewood - EAR MC-4, Slagle/EMIA, other I dont remember that Jensen model having a 1:8 wiring option according to the manual. The ARC Ref phono I think uses the same SUT and its wired 1:12 but you can change that to 1:4Anyway my stab at advising you would be that you download the manua... | |
| Benz Ebony TR or Lyra Kleos SL? Last week I received a Benz Ebony TR-S which I bought 2nd hand on 'gon.Very impressed! With about 20hrs on the 3 things that the VdH still do better is instrument separation, dynamics and soundstage depth.The Benz has more body and better tracking... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C catcher10 (and other experts here)In absolute terms, does a Phono pre with multiple gain/loading options only sound it's absolute best at 1 permutation of settings?I ask because I once read a ARC Ref 2 Phono review and it was said that it sounded ... | |
| New or used cartridge To add a tip when it comes to hours on used carts: the internet doesn't forget, you Google a used cart you are interested in with a claimed number of hours and you find an old advert of the same cart with more hours logged. Go figure | |
| SME IV Tonearm and Warped Records Hi. You could perhaps add a spacer between the cart and the headshell? This might also be an opportunity to tweak the sound as there are many options for the material of the spacer. Wood, C.F., carbon-nylon plastic etc. | |
| Alternatives ot Dynavector DV-1t I have had 4 DVs (1 xx-ii2 & 3 xv1s) then 2010 I moved to VdH Colibris (on my 4th). For me the 2 different DVs didn't share a family sound. Xx-ii2 is bass heavy and I best describe it as the Audiophile DJs choice cart. The xv1s gives up the b... |
