| Dynavector XV1s loading & phono Hi David, I am surprised at the difficulty you are having with the XV1s. I have had many carts in my system and the XV is clearly one of the best I have used. Loading should be around the 100 to 150 ohm area. Of course VTF, VTA etc. all need fine ... | |
| What Makes a Good RIAA or Line Stage? Raul, this is a different thread. I have just read your same post in your Essential thread. Why do we need two Essential threads. Please give us a break. Thom attempted to start a new thread exploring some very interesting ideas regarding phono st... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde No Amfibius, You are certainly not more insane than any of the rest of us in this hobby. In fact I think you are on the right road with your speaker choices. Markxiii said it all. The plasma drive on the Acepella's is incredible.Amps I have used w... | |
| Acapella vs. Avantgarde I own a set of Acapella High Campaniles and can tell you that that I have never felt as if the sound was in any way disjointed. I have owned several speakers which did have problems melding different technologies but not Acapella.OTOH they require... | |
| Stereo channel balance/image This sounds like improper cartridge alignment. Alignment, VTA, azimuth, VTFand anti skate are fully covered in the archives. These adjustments are critical to balanced playback. | |

| DPS/Schroeder Ref. Turntable Re: tables I agree with Flyingred. The Galibier is an excellent table. Re: arms I am one of those lucky few Thom referred to in his post. I run the Tri-planar and a Schroeder Reference SQ. Thom's remarks on choosing an arm that you most identify w... | |
| Einstein "The Turntable's Choice " phonostage Yes, the Einstein phono stage does seem to be difficult to obtain. I have had the balanced version on order for awhile and no idea yet as to when I will receive it.I do believe it will be worth the wait however. | |
| Einstein OTL amps experience It is possible I am mistaken here but to be exact my Atma-sphere amps are Ma1 Mk 2 Silver edition upgraded at the factory with power supply boost and Caddack resistor package. I thought the upgrade brought the amps to mk 3 status as well except fo... | |
| Einstein OTL amps experience I forgot to mention that the amp portion of this shoot-out will also include a set of EAR 519 push pull 100W tube amps and a set of Bryston 7BST high power ss amps. I will include these in the game for overall evaluation of power requirements etc.... | |
| Einstein OTL amps experience I am expecting a set of Einstein Mk 60 amps to arrive on Friday along with the Einstein pre. I am using Acapella High Campanile speakers. My current amps are Atmasphere MA1 mk 3 with Supratek Grange pre.This will end up as a personal shoot out bet... | |
| Turntables from 1-10: Personality 8.5 Beauty 12 I have to agree with Dan And Raul on this one. Thom's Galibier tables are great to look at but more important they also have amazing sound. | |
