| Graham Tone Arm/Orbe Turntable I used a 2.2 for years on an Orbe SE and found it a very enjoyable combo. It's definitely the Graham to use on an Orbe. | |
| TriPlanar Tips That was a cheap shot, as I'm sure you know. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Ttboald-- My K&K SUT took quite a while to lose its edginess, so that might have been part of it. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Opus88, you could also try different tubes in your phono stage. It's less expensive than new gear and can make a huge difference. Just a thought. Glad you got the sound near to where you want it. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Opus, you know what you're hearing and you describe it admirably. And you have a very fine system that should produce excellent sonic textures. I agree that the soundwave from an orchestra in a concert hall or a jazz ensemble in a well-designed ac... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Sadly and paradoxically, the word "neutral" must remain forever subjective. Indeed. Just as one person's derogatory "round" is another's exemplary "natural," and one person's "resolving" is another's "aggressive." Most of us believe our system tel... | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Syntax, which ZYX models are your recommending as recessed in the treble? I owned an an Airy 3SB briefly and it was the opposite of recessed in the treble. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge That one, too, though I haven't heard it. The Kansui is designed to be little more refined in the highs. And it's slightly higher compliance, so probably more flexible with tonearms. | |
| Moving coil with a bit less leading edge Miyajima Kansui would fit the bill. | |
| More power for better sound at low volumes? The amp designers who post here would be best-qualified to answer your question. But it seems like full sound at low volumes is, at least in part, a design intention. For example, Bryston says of its 28B-SST2:A significant part of the design crite... | |
| a solid state amp that is recessed in the treble Correction: that should be MC501 | |
| a solid state amp that is recessed in the treble McIntosh MS501 monoblocks are worth considering. I owned them for a while to tame some speakers I found a little too hot in the treble. These are rich, powerful SS amps with a warm, tubey quality and attractive midrange. The treble is all there bu... | |
| Why does my system sound so shrill and distorted? Any significant change in distortion when you run the Stingray in Ultralinear? At 86 db, your speakers might be over-taxing its 18 watts in triode if you're playing loud in a large room. Probably not the problem--the sound would likely be kind of ... | |
| Tonearm suggestions I'm unfamiliar with your turntable, so take my advice with a grain. If you're interested in Rega arms, take a look at Origin Live arms like the Illustrious 3C or, at a higher price point, the Conqueror 3C. The "C" versions have carbon fiber wands,... | |
| Clearaudio innovation wood or SME 20/3 Peterayer,Thanks for the detailed reply. You have quite a breadth of experience with fine turntables. If I may ask (without hijacking the thread), which of the TWs did you hear and what were your general impressions? I'm quite happy with my curren... |
