| Graham Phantom Supreme? Rockitman, are you using the outer ring on the Clearaudio table? If so, that might be one reason MusicalSurroundings recommended the 10-in. The 9-in. brings the anti-skate mechanism uncomfortably close to the ring. I have one on the full Innovatio... | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? My M2-12R is on a Nantais Reference Lenco. It plays well with idlers. | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Dertonarm, so do you also think anti-skate is unnecessary? I'm not asking in order to stoke an argument. I respect your knowledge and experience in vinyl, so I'm curious about your opinion on this subject, which is also somewhat controversial. | |
| Graham Phantom Supreme? Never heard of a captive cable on a Graham. I don't think it's an option. | |
| Miyajima Shilabe with Shindo preamp ? Perhaps I should wait for your tonearm thread but I'll interject here. I just bought a Kansui. I haven't mounted it yet but probably will this week. I'll try it first in my Clearaudio Universal and eventually in my other arms, including an SME M2-... | |
| VAC Signature MK2a pre "phono tube questions" Hello Dev,You asked me to report back on tube rolling the phono section of my Phi Beta, which has the same circuit as your Sig 2a. I've had it for a week now and I'm ready to make a few preliminary observations after rolling a variety of high-qual... | |
| TW-Acustic Raven 10.5 or DaVinci Grandezza?? Let me follow the logic of the argument that azimuth adjustment is unnecessary in high-priced cartridges. So anyone who actually uses a Fozgometer or other measurement device and finds it necessary to adjust azimuth in order to optimize readings e... | |
| Best speakers to use with Mahi Mahi amps I run Merlin TSM-Mmi with a Stingray II, which is basically the integrated amp version of the Mahis. Along with a small Von Shweikert sub, this combo fills a large room with great sound. The Stingray's 40 watts in ultralinear mode are more than en... | |
| Which tonearm cable? The Furutech AG12 is a well-built, quiet, great-sounding cable at a good price. They come up used in the $300-350 range. | |
| Best Tubes results for McIntosh C2300 Correction: I meant 5751s, not 5687s. I've been rolling 5687s recently in the Steelhead so they were top of mind. Please excuse. | |
| Best Tubes results for McIntosh C2300 What's your amp? What do you want to achieve with the sound of the C2300? It'll take on the character of the tubes you choose, so these are questions to ask yourself. I owned it for a year with MC501 monos and spent big cash rolling a lot of tubes... | |
| ZYX Omega or UNIverse? Gotcha. Thanks. | |
| What is the best 2A3 SET Amplifier? Another vote for Moth, especially if you have Craig Uthus, the original designer, now at Eddie Current, do a power supply mod to it. I talked about this in SET Asylum but I'll recap it here.Craig created an outboard power supply connected via mili... | |
| ZYX Omega or UNIverse? I'm used to finicky. The Replicant stylus on the A90 is something of a spoiled cat, demanding and imperious but worth the effort to win over. As a general rule, where have you settled for VTF and VTA (relative to level) for your UNIverses? | |
| ZYX Omega or UNIverse? Doug: many thanks for your reflections. I just spoke with Mehran and I'm close to pulling the trigger on a UNIverse. They seem to be back in limited production, which is good for all.I had the VAC in house briefly before some noise revealed itself... |
