| Dynavector 20 Xl , Benz Micro Ace SL or Denon I had a Dyna 20xl and Benz Glider SL back to back on my TNT with JMW 10.5 arm, no comparison, Benz has much more fleshed out sound. Just a lot more meat on the bones. Dyna not bad, but I like the Glider much more, its just more interesting to hear... | |
| Are linear tracking arms better than pivoted arms? Have had both too. I used a Souther for quite some time, then went to a JMW 10.5. Both are kinda fiddly. Initial setup on a Souther takes some time, lots of patience and good eyes. The Souther "arm" mount adjusts both azimuth and overhang so movin... | |
| When did you ever hear a system sound so life-like This is the effect I got everytime I played music through my former quad esl-63's driven by a vtl-85 tube amp. | |
| Cartridge for the JMW 10.5i Interesting, I'm having same issue with my JMW 10.5 and Shelter 501-2, it seems to have excessive sibilance at times, and its setup as well as I can humanly get it. I have a TNT table. May also try a Dynavector. My Shelter is about 9 years old now... | |
| Which tube preamp meets all these needs? I believe a Sunfire Classic vacuum tube preamp might fit the bill. I had one a few years back and it was quite good! It has balanced outs, but I don't think its completely differential internally, but for under 2k, that probably isn't going to hap... | |
| Tube Amp Recommendations Stay with VTL - try the ST-150, it is easier to maintain than the 225t's and has plenty of oomph for bigger speakers. I have the smaller ST-85 and it can drive my big Martin Logan Vista's no problem with clean sound. | |
| cryoed vs uncryoed wire A/B tests? Drtthis is really what i was looking for. If i may ask, what about pure silver wires, do you have any experience with those? i am thinking of processing some audio note AN SPa (pure silver litz wires), and i have read mixed report about pure silve... | |
| cryoed vs uncryoed wire A/B tests? Drt thxs for your reply. Drt would you say that the two cables have a different "tonal" presentation of the music? i mean i think extensive listening like yours is an excellent A/B testing method according to me. so i am very interested. could you... | |
| gallo ref3 with the golden ear awards? These speakers sound like crud, perhaps even worse. They sound as BAD as they look cool. I went in to the store to hear these just for fun, I have no agenda to bash Gallo speakers, but, wow, I could never listen to these. My ears were hurting afte... | |
| Has hi fi become too specialized That is all top of the line Tandberg gear, it doesn't get much better than the 3018A etc. etc. | |
| VPI MK-4 platter problem You should also replace the entire plinth. The Mark 3 and Mark 4 plinths are different than the Jr. On the 3's and 4's you get an acrylic/steel sandwitch that is much heavier and better made than the Jr's. It will naturally allow the Mark 4 bearin... | |
| Modifying Gain on a Pass Aleph Ono I have an Ono, it is simple. Simply remove the cover. Look down at the circuit board. You'll notice its dual mono.On each channel, there are two jumpers, one is located near a big cap, all 4 are CLEARLY marked. One set of jumpers reduces gain by 4... |
