| Ortofon SPU Synergy Hey David,I have the same plans for the near future...getting a TD124 with a 12" arm, but I now have a 3012R on my Nouvelle Platine Verdier wich should be replace by a EMT 12" therefore the SME should be mounted on the TD124.For the beginning a SP... | |
| Ortofon SPU Synergy "I was just looking at it...I use SPU GE and SPU Reference Gold. Both super cartridges! How does it compare to the GE?"The Synergy's basic sound has(fortunately) all the SPU atributes, it keeps the same rythmic goherency and concentration on the e... | |
| Ortofon SPU Synergy How much tracking force do you use? Do you use a step up transformer? The Synergy is my favourite cartridge at the moment, even before my Kiseki Goldspot, Shelter 501 and Koetsu Rosewood. I think the SPU (also my SPU classic GME) are more able to ... | |
| Built-in phono stages I posted this in another thread..."The build in phonostage in my Paragon 12A preamp and my Audio Note AN-6c or Koetsu (each with different cartridges) step up transformer. I've heard a lot of phonostages (owned a ASR Basis Exclusive and Audio Rese... | |
| What is the best phono preamp you have heard? The build in phonostage in my Paragon 12A preamp and my Audio Note AN-6c or Koetsu (each with different cartridges) step up transformer. I've heard a lot of phonostages (owned a ASR Basis Exclusive and Audio Research PH5, E.a.r.) and even sold my ... | |
| Best Cartridges for the Money You've Experienced "I currently have a Koetsu Rosewood Signature mounted on an SME-5 arm. I'd like to go up from there in sound quality without having to rob a bank."From the level of an Koetsu Rosewood Signature I think it's hard to find anything substantial better... | |
| VAC PA60 Dear Audioracle,No they have around 80 watts in UL and around 30-40 watts in Triode mode (2xKT88 on ech side). They are quite far from clipping since the speakers are relatively efficient. Theres also still a lot of headroom from the amps. They go... | |
| Why does this old tube gear sound so good? Thats because musical satisfaction and emotional involvement has not in any case to do with a perfect frequency response or top notch measurement values...I really love my Paragon 12A preamp from the late 70's which sounds magical to me, because i... | |
| Bruce Moore's Paragon 12 vs Juicy Music Blueberry i can tell you that I prefer the build in phono stage in the Model 12A in use with step up transformer to my still very very good ARC PH5 phono pre...so the line inputs are on the same level...very very very musical no noticeable roll off on the f... | |
| Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 5.1 Do you find the 5.1´s bass shy or thin? they didn´t sounded like this in the store but the frequency response you can find in the stereophile review suggests that.http://www.stereophile.com/loudspeakerreviews/477/index7.htmlmy cabasse while not th... | |
| Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 5.1 thanks to all for your posts so far...i wouldn´t spend more than 4000,- on new speakers in the first place but i saw the wilson in an internet offer (i saw other 5´s for 1000,- more than the 5.1´s im looking for, the sophias even used cost 3000,- ... | |
| Tube Phonostage help by the way 400 ohms of the E.a.r. is a good value for a lot of other carts...if necessary you can have lower values while using Y adapters and RCA plugs with resistors of the appropriate value soldered in...i did the same when i had my ACE Low run... | |
| Tube Phonostage help an MC cart see´s an impedance of 400 Ohms via E.a.r. step up transformers wich is good for ACE L and M as well as L2 and M2...even my Ruby 2 sounds fine with 400 Ohm over the E.a.r....i had a M2 long time running on the E.a.r. and can tell that it... | |
| Tube Phonostage help i tried the MM position on the E.a.r. but in my system the MC position caused a more meaty, colorful sound wich i liked better. and before the benz wood i had also a first generation ACE Low wich was a good match with the E.a.r...but if you go for... | |
| Tube Phonostage help i can strongly reccomend the E.a.r. but i think 0.8 or more will overload the input of the 834p or (because of the strong signal) the input of the following amplifier as happened with my Benz M2 (0.8 mV). i had to trim down the volume on the E.a.r... |
