| ZYX cartridges I'm sure you'll get some better responses here but I encourage you to call Mehran and talk with him. He is not out to sell you something if he doesn't think it will work for you. My understanding is that the Atmos is just below the Universe. It do... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? If you have the coin then don't pass on the MUs just because you may use them with the EAR for a while. As I said before, I'm considering buy a set myself even though I have no need for them. I've not spent time with one myself but I think Rccc's ... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? making the FET/417A front end sound great is work - but not that hardMaybe you should start traveling around the world giving demos of your work. Perhaps you can find a market for it. | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Mm2550, I understand what you are saying about incremental mods. I've done them myself and done them on the 834. The mods do help make it sound better, but not great. IMO, putting the MUs in front of the EAR is like putting a rose between your nos... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Just because it has a FET stage doesn't mean it will sound good or sound the best or even sound better than stepups. There is a lot more to getting a FET gain stage to sound as good as a stepup than just building the circuit. However, if it is don... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Now lack of enthusiasm for the Bent Mu here. I don't own a stepup now because I don't need one. But I have heard how good the original MU sounds when setup well and they don't come around very often on the used market. I know John Chapman has been... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Mgreene, I hope you enjoy your 834 for many year to come. | |
| Upgrade for users of 1/2" mylar belt You guys have fun out there in Denver! Anne and I just can't seem to work out the RMAF dates with our schedules. | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Mgreene, we seem to have a disconnect. My comments were directed to the 834P that the OP asked about. He asked if the MUs added to the 834P would equal "greatness". Well, ok, that is subjective. IMO and IME, my answer is still no. You seem to want... | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Sonofjim, my comments were based on what I thought was your budget. I don't know exactly what Raul and Jose are selling the Essential for, but it is well north of $10K. Well north.Sorry, I didn't mean you weren't somehow good enough to own it. | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? $5 grand? Forget it, it is out of your league. :-) | |
| EAR 834P + Bent Audio Stepups = greatness? Mgreene, NO offense meant, but I think you should back off on Raul's full function preamp. I have heard it, seen it, felt it, over a year an a half ago and I understand that there have been some improvements made as Raul and Jose keep working on i... | |
| Amp burn in time..just being on or music played? With most amps merely having them on will exercise the bias circuits and open the path through the amp's channel. But there is very little signal (just noise) passing through so all of the components in the signal path aren't being worked, especia... | |
| How Should We Clean A New Record? Maybe it is an urban myth, maybe it is not. I have read Stan's comments and others on this. There seems to be no evidence that mold release agents were used with modern pressings, but there is also no evidence that proves these agents were never u... | |
| Premier Record Cleaner, How to use Ok, I didn't recognize the company. I just know it by Premier and I keep a can of it myself. That stuff contains highly volatile (that means it evaporates really fast) chemicals so the crud is still left behind on the lp. I prefer to follow the ap... |
