| Bottlehead Crack It will work but not sound it's best. The output impedance of the Crack is too high. Low frequency response will be down maybe 3 db or soIdeally you want to sprun headphone with at least 150 ohm input impedance with the Crack.Sine my original post... | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges I've bought two used cartridges, a Linn Troika and a Linn Arkiv B. Both purchases were flawless. Both looked and worked great. I still have the Arkiv B But I can see how buying a used cartridge can be very risky. Over the years I've bought much us... | |
| How much does your system retail for? On 1/24/14 I posted as follows-"As far as my wife knows, maybe $1,500 tops."No longer have the wife. Stopped counting at $40,000. Gave the ex a bunch of $ too so what the heck. | |
| Personal amp evolution Well I'm back to separates. Sold the Pass INT-150 and bought a Pass XP-10 pre and an X150.8 amp. Finest setup to get grave my abodeBTW- Pass recommends balanced cables between their amps & preamps. I tried an unbalanced cable first then balanc... | |
| Linn Karik's CD drawer cannot be closed Your Karik owes you nothing. It gave you 19 years. How many of us have cars, washing machines, or refrigerators that old?I empathize, but the good news is it can be fun to buy new or gently used newer gear. | |

| Best A'gon System The best system I've heard is owned by some guy who calls himself ZavatoBut what does he know? | |
| Do you Bi-Wire, if you can? I have bi wired in the past. Now I single wire with good jumpers. It works out better that way for meYMMV | |

| My Revel F30s Interesting. I just moved to a new place. Different room, different set up, removed the upper speaker grills, and while the F30's are still not imaging champs, they throw a pretty decent image now. Guess I'm keeping them some more. | |
| Need Help buying headphones and head amps Sennheiser HD600 or HD650 with a Bottlehead Crack amp. Total investment is probably about $600. The only caveat is you have to build the headphone amp but to me that just makes it more fun. | |
| My Revel F30s Aside from imaging I thoroughly enjoy my F30sMy two exposures to Sonus Fabers in other homes leftvmecfeeling that they were on the bright side | |
| Records with words with the letter S are slurred In my experience what you are hearing is an artifact of mist racking. Some records are pressed "hot" and sibilance is unavoidable. Goodxalignment and set up are key and having a cartridge that tracks well also helps |
