| Pictures at an Exhibition Not as well known but IMO up there with the best : Victoria Postnikova (wife to Guennadi Rozhdéstvenski) piano, Melodya 46049-2 There was a reissue on Olympia I believe. | |
| Amp to pair with FM Acoustics 122/245 combo ? Thanks Jond, should really start thinking about selling gear that has accumulated over time. Your set up must also sound very musical with the Audio Note DAC & speakers. Some time back had the AN (UK) P2s with 6L6 tubes and enjoyed that syste... | |
| Amp to pair with FM Acoustics 122/245 combo ? C4s were the go to speakers for years when system was set up in living room but when grandkids starting jumping off amps had to seek refuge in abandoned bedroom where the large Dyns were too constrained. Since the weather has been pretty hot late... | |
| Amp to pair with FM Acoustics 122/245 combo ? @vassilis_t Already have amps but may be interested in ICs & SCs. | |
| CLASS A POWER RATINGS Thanks much Ralph I was hoping you'd be the one to answer | |
| Stylus gauge recommendations ? Based on all your kind replies I've decided to go with the Ortofon DS3, price not being a factor considering the potential hazards when handling cartridges. Thanks to all. | |
| Stylus gauge recommendations ? Thanks lewm. The Ortofon seems like a safe bet as they've been at it as long or longer than anyone. | |
| Amp to pair with FM Acoustics 122/245 combo ? Thanks for your response jond. Went with a pr. of Accuphase A-200 monos @ 100w class A into 8 ohms purchased here on Audiogon. Awaiting arrival to see how they mesh with FMA. | |
| Anyone with experience mating a Kuzma 4Point 9 tonearm to a SME 15 turntable ? thanks for the tip, will do. | |
| Anyone with experience mating a Kuzma 4Point 9 tonearm to a SME 15 turntable ? Thanks for the input. I'm sure the Kuzma combo is fantastic but I already have the SME 15 & am looking for a different arm to experiment with since I already have a IV on the Avid Volvere and the design of the 4P9 intrigues me. Reason for 2... | |
| Anyone with experience mating a Kuzma 4Point 9 tonearm to a SME 15 turntable ? Exactly my dilemma. The 4P9 was designed with the reduced weight of 920g to accommodate more TTs but not sure the spring suspended SME 15 will match up well. Unable to find info on SME website as to how much weight it's made to support. | |
| Break in time necessary and if so how long for Dynaudio Heritage Special ? Thanks for the tip hilde45, had heard or read about that sometime ago but never applied to new speakers. | |
| Break in time necessary and if so how long for Dynaudio Heritage Special ? 300 hrs sounds about right. Initial Perception of glare has been significantly reduced after only a few hours. Have the original C4s that when new seemed to take forever to open up. Hence was expecting a closed in sound before break-in but appears... | |

| E.S.P. (Essential Sound Products) power cables Initially was inclined towards Shunyata having had previously way back the Taipans but too many iterations & models were confusing and then was directed towards E.S.P. by Ken Stevens @ C.A.T. after sending him my JL5 for upgrades to Limited E... |
