| Songs Faber Olympica III Thanks for all your responses!Dealer is sending me the shorter spikes. Starting to form solid impressions now after a few days. Really enjoying them. I’ve noticed that i do need to have the volume a tad higher than I usually do for them to really ... | |
| Songs Faber Olympica III Thanks! Bi-wired them this evening: sound quality jumps out as *noticeably* better in back to back A/B comparison. Will need some time listening to them as bi-wired to be able to describe/quantify the improvements. Question: what would happen if ... | |
| Songs Faber Olympica III Just noticed that auto-correct changed "Sonus" in the title of this thread to "Songs." Sorry about that!Question: I am going to try bi-wiring these speakers. I have a Macintosh 2275 integrated amp, which has 4ohm, 6ohm, an 8ohm taps. Currently,... | |
| Songs Faber Olympica III Thanks for all your responses!FYI, I started with the ports facing outward just because that's how they happened to be arranged when I brought them downstairs to the listening room. I plan to leave them this way for a couple of days; then switch ... | |
| Turntable sibilance Guys: thanks for the concern, but message received. I've already removed the cartridge, so no risk of record damage. The question now is whether I send it in for the exam and rebuild for $250 or just invest that $250 toward a new cart. | |
| Turntable sibilance Checking VTF via a calibrated digital scale. If I said VTA earlier, that was a typo. But you probably already knew that. So I don't know why you felt the need to comment. | |
| Turntable sibilance Stringeen,Thanks, but I noticed the sibilance with the old speakers, before I installed the new ones (also, I never found the zephyr to be bright, with either the old or the new speakers).Update: I checked VTA. I had originally set it at 2.0 grams... | |
| Turntable sibilance Thanks for all the responses!Will start today by checking VTF, VTA, etc. If the issue persists, I'll likely then send it in for examination. Peter: as a general proposition, I thought the consensus was that *2000* hours was the expected maximum u... | |
| Audio Desk Systeme RCM - what's been your experience? I had the original version of the AudioDesk and returned it after a couple of weeks: I could tell it was going to be problematic over time. I therefore bought the KL Audio and never looked back: it has worked flawlessly. I'm very glad to hear of... | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic 3 SE I'm running the Soundsmith Zephyr on my Classic 3. Sounds great. Like you, I I was also looking for "on the warmer side of neutral" and it meets that description for me. For more info, see my post here: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/cart... | |
| Philly Record Store Day fail If by "contemporary," you mean music released in the past couple of years or so, no, not really. I'll occasionally download a catchy new song for my gym playlist, but beyond that, the only instances of contemporary music on vinyl that I can recal... | |
| Philly Record Store Day fail Oregon,Two suggestions:(1) Jazz Record Center, 236 W. 26th St. Note: there's no external signage for this store: you have to go to the street address, press the buzzer for their suite, and ride the elevator to the 8th Fl. First time I went here, I... | |
| Philly Record Store Day fail Oh, and I used to go to that Record Exchange, but never found much of any genre of interest to me... | |
