| Bryston sound 'neutral' ???? I fail to see the point of this thread. | |
| My first tube preamp Manley jumbo shrimp The current Bryston SST2 lineup has excellent bass--and everything else, too. FWIW, I drove my 28Bs with a Manley Steelhead as a linestage for a while until my VAC preamp arrived and thought they went really well together. | |
| Clearaudio " Innovation" - What? Yes, why pick on Clearaudio about the literality of a product name? I owned a Michell Orbe for years and thought it a fine turntable; but you know, it isn't actually spherical! I've known a few overweight guys named Robert; the Transrotor Fat Bob ... | |
| Clearaudio " Innovation" - What? I think the "innovations" are the magnetic ceramic bearing and optical speed control. Google "Clearaudio Innovation Wood" and you'll find a review or two that discuss these things. Whether they're true innovations I couldn't tell you but they make... | |
| Ortofon Silver Meister SPU Oops, the link above is wrong. Here's the right one:Meister Silver GMIIApologies for the round trip. | |
| Ortofon Silver Meister SPU Hi Fromunda,I don't want to contradict Louis but if you're asking about the current Meister Silver GM MkII, it's listed on Ortofon's website as outputting .3mV with a DCR of 1.5 ohms and recommended loading of >10 ohms. If that's the case, you ... | |
| Replaced stock McIntosh 12ax7a with gold lion ecc8 Don't worry about the glow--it's pretty much irrelevant. What you're hearing is the difference in sound character from stock Mac tubes, which tend to be bright and edgy, IME. The Golden Lions are richer in the mids and bass. They'll open up more i... | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply Jeremey72, since you seem to value "humble knowledge," would that not preclude prejudice, which is presumed and prejudged knowledge, and not at all humble? Lots of people have agendas and opinions. Certainly Jean has his, and he's a character. But... | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply I found him great to work with, very cooperative and service-minded. Did gorgeous woodwork on my turntable, too. | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply I'll add that I owned a PurePower 2000 re-generator for a year or so. It's supposed to put out a constant 120v at 60 hz. It made no difference to my Reference Lenco motor at all. | |
| How Many Turntables Have You Owned Since 1973, seven: Dual 1214, Beogram something, Yamaha PF-1000, Michell Orbe SE, Nantais Lenco, Nantais Reference Lenco, Clearaudio Innovation Wood. All but the last two are gone. | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply I think Jean Nantais is playing around with designing an external PS for his Lenco rebuilds. You could query him. | |
| Multiple turntables Two turntables and four tonearms active into a stand-alone phono stage with 3 phono inputs and a preamp with 2 phono inputs. Everything is on Adona stands (4) and shelves (3 per stand), which I think are terrific. | |
| MoFi So Long So Wrong Mine sounds quite good, rich but not dark, although track 4 has excessive sibilance on two of three cartridge/tonearm combos. I find the album to be beautifully recorded--I'm surprised it was done digitally. | |
| Ground loop with Miyajima Premium mono Mike, thanks for the detailed response.This hum is bad news to me. I have a Kansui, which I like alot, and I was very close to buying the Premium BE Mono but now I think I won't. My Steelhead II doesn't sum through the fixed outputs and my VAC Phi... |
