| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Thanks Phil at al. That's good to know. Phil, your speaker placement is almost identical to my current arrangement for a very different kind of system, which would be convenient because my options are constrained. BTW, I looked at your system; we ... | |
| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Hi all. Interesting thread. You Zu-dudes are an informed and informative crew. I have a low-watt, high-eff system in my home office, built around a (heavily modded) Moth Audio 2A3 amp and a pair of old Galante Silverdale speakers (Radian coax with... | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Thanks for the post, Aoliviero. My Supreme-upgraded Phantom II should be here in a week--after a four month absence. I'm really looking forward to it. I have that Triplanar, too, and thought the Phantom II was already a wee bit better. | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic This thread long ago entered what Freud called the narcissism of minor differences, in which the similarities between individuals or social groups foster the exaggeration of tiny distinctions in order to generate or validate uniqueness or superior... | |
| Mythologies on MoFi - Something wrong? ? My copy of Mythologies (#611) sounds a touch dull at low volume but I wouldn't call it compressed. Its dynamic range sounds natural. OTOH, my copy of Sinatra's Only the Lonely does sound a bit dull and compressed. It's my second copy of Mythologie... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic The volume of ad hominem attacks by TW owners on posters who don't share their love of these turntables is really astonishing, and virtually unique to this brand. Dislike the message? Discredit the messenger, either by direct insult or innuendo. T... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic My but TW owners do take it all so personally. | |
| Dr.John I like Black Keys on LP. There's something elemental about their sound and writing that captures me if I'm in the right mood, making me want to stay within their raw aesthetic. Auerbach is a good craftsman of songs. In concert I found them disappo... | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Actusreus, we flawed creatures without mystical audio powers like objective, repeatable, accurate frames of reference. The block works. | |
| What is the typical VTA for a Benz Ebony TR ? I have an Ebony L, which is not quite a low out-put as yours but otherwise pretty similar. I run it parallel or with tail just slightly down. Tail slightly up makes it a tad bright in my system. Its supplied FR graph does show a rising curve in th... | |
| At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp? My will stipulates that my heirs must upgrade. | |
| Parallel? How do you set the VTA? Millenium makes a gridded, transparent acrylic block for this purpose. It's admittedly expensive at $85 but remarkably convenient for establishing what's parallel and perpendicular to the record surface, with more precision than mere eyeballing. I... | |
| PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better? Audiozen, as a confessed troll, you have no credibility. | |
| SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead Correction: the MM loading options jump from 200 to 47K ohms. | |
| SoundSmith Sassuro Paula and Manley Steelhead Just to clarify, I wasn't at all suggesting that the MM inputs on the Steelhead are inappropriate for MC cartridges. My point is that the loading options jump from 400 to 47K ohms, both of which would probably be suboptimal for the cartridge in qu... |
