Ortofon Cadenza Black loading
Take for example the Jan Allaerts MC2, generally considered to be one of the top MC’s with unbelievable specs (how about 70dB channel separation?). It has a coil impedance of 32 ohms and according to the specs the load impedance needs to be set at... 
Lyra Atlas experiences
In an effort to rescue this thread and bringing it back to topic - any experiences to share with the Lambda versions of the Atlas, i.e. the Atlas Lambda and Lambda SL?Considering moving back to a Lyra with the Atlas after some early experimentatio... 
Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner
On 07-14-2019, Prof said: “Downsides?   Sometimes I'm not sure I prefer the sound of the washed record to the unwashed record. It can sometimes make a record sound in a way a bit more CD-like than vinyl. Can sometimes seem to lose a little bit of ... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
The Accuphase has good reviews but I don’t think I have where to audition it in Florida.Ivan from Legend Audio Video in Florida has the entire line of Accuphase. Check out the Audio Afficionado Forum which is hosted by Ivan...  
Mission 761i Speakers
Here is some information on the 760i. Although I am not sure I would pay that much attention to the specs (except maybe impedance and sensitivity). I should note that I own both the 731i and 760i. I still like the 731i a bit more (more lively, mor... 
What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96?
Slightly late - but for anyone questioning the thought that went into the O/96 speaker design, it really is worth reading this:https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2013/05/21/manufacturers-comment-devore-fidelity-orangutan-o96-stereophile-measurement-co... 
Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x
Also I do agree with all that is said about the description of Accuphase vs Luxman for sound. For me personally not a very length decision on which one I would take. The Accuphase E-600 replaced a much more expensive separates combo (Shindo Giscou... 
Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x
One more thought to throw out is that the Accuphase presents a truly integrated option:You can add the DAC board in addition to the phono board for a true single box solution. Also the plug-in nature allows one to keep up with advances by simply u... 
Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ?
From my own experience the Accuphase Class A amps (e.g. E-650 and up) are a significant step-up from Pass or Luxman: Much more refined and detailed with a more natural and realistic presentation. They also measure perfect. Besides amps, where Accu... 
Thumbs up for ultrasonic record cleaning
It seems the water should be drained from the bottom where released particles would fall, pass through the filter, then be pumped back in at the top.I'm not an engineer but this doesn't look logical to me.It seems there is a lot more thought than ... 
Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi
attymbb - thanks for the response!I have just had an opportunity to hear the MSL Gold at a local dealer. It is very impressive and certainly in the top cartridges I have heard. As you described it, it has excellent layering and separation between ... 
Audio desk pro vs. Clear audio double matrix
Since the original question is on the Clearaudio vs the Audiodesk/KL Audio, I  have owned both the Clearaudio and KL Audio for over a year and can share some experience:The latest Sonic version of the Clearaudio Double Matrix is now fully automate... 
Audio desk pro vs. Clear audio double matrix
Ive had both the KL Audio and the Audio Deske, both are fine machines, the only thing I did not like about the Audio Deske is the "exit mark" the rollers leave where a tiny amount of "dirt" is left behind. The KL Audio does not suffer from this an... 
Lyra Etna SL vs. Transfiguration Proteus + Koetsu Urushi
My other cartridge, the MSL Ultra Eminent Bc is at Soundsmith as I accidentally bent the canitilever and the Transfiguration Proteus I recently purchased is back at the dealer's pending replacement due to a factory defect.   In the meantime, I hav... 
Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover
Greg - interesting comment on Luxman 590 vs Accuphase E600. I recently heard a Luxman L-509X with a pair of Harbeth 30.2 at the Montreal Show which compared to my own experience with the Accuphase E-600 and Graham LS 5/9s fell quite a bit short of...
