| Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth? FWIW, I talked to my Ortofon dealer yesterday about the life of the A90. The "official" position appears to be: sonics will begin to change on the Relicant 100 at around 1,000 hours because of "changes in the molecular structure of the diamond" (w... | |
| Replicant 100 stylus longevity - truth or myth? Downunder, thanks for the good info. My A90, too, is getting a little long in the tooth--or maybe short in the tooth is the better metaphor, since we're talking about wear on the tip. I'm curious, how did you determine yours was finished, by sonic... | |
| Phono Preamp as Control Center The Steelhead is two boxes, FWIW, because of its external power supply. | |
| bass traps I'm using a pair of GIK Tri-traps. They seem to work well enough but I haven't A/B-ed them against other makes. | |
| Best speaker for Manley itube Stingray? What Muzikat said. | |
| Raven AC3 Anyone else feel that a dealer should not be trying to sell his own TT's in a thread about a TT he doesn't carry? Seems very rude to me.I agree. It's obnoxious. | |
| Vinyl reissue labels to avoid? I am consistently impressed by the OJC vinyl.I agree! Many of the earlier pressings sound terrific. | |
| Micro Seiki RX-5000 - All Switchable 110v & 220v? It figures.... Out of my range anyway but it's nice to dream...:) | |
| Micro Seiki RX-5000 - All Switchable 110v & 220v? To further complicate the matter, there's a sweet one at Top Class right now that specs AC-100v 50/60Hz. Anyone know whether it could be used in the US without a transformer?Thanks. | |
| Tonearms for Clearaudio Master Solution type TNTs Clearaudio's Universal arm with the optional VTA collar is a good match for my Innovation Wood, as is the Phantom II. | |
| McIntosh C2300 Power Cord Recommendation Luckily, you have the flaming sword of a BSEE to cut through illusion, rendering power cords powerless to deceive you. | |
| TSM MMii..........amp pairing?? In a large room, I use a Manley Stingray II in ultralinear mode, augmenting the bass with a Von Schweikert 12-inch sealed sub. It's a very satisfying combo. | |
| Benz Ebony vs Wood Can't precisely answer your question but I can get close. I have a low-output Ebony (S version) and high out-put mono Wood (pre-S-version), which I use on a Phantom II. The Ebony is clearly more refined and balanced through the frequency range, wi... | |
| ZYX Omega or UNIverse? It is an excellent cartridge. Glad you found one and you're enjoying it so! | |
| Oyaide mat and stabilizer I really like the STB-MS stabilizer on my Lenco rebuild. Its weight is adjustable in 40g steps from 200 to 440g, so you can kind of tune it to your system. I'm using it at 280g. Never tried the mat. |
