| Audio Desk Record Cleaner How can you tell if the transucers are working as I see no bubble action in the water bath as the record turns? | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Larryi, yes about the arm. Talk to AJ he said once you hear the new one you can't go back to the Vector. I already have one on order. Why would you want to put the vinyl on cd when the sound of the record is better. This does not make sense. Make ... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Doug you are right I was actually in fear when those bombs would drop really scary. I never had that kind of dynamics before. The Erato is Stockhausen by Sylvio Gualda. I even listened to Simon and Garfunkel Parsley, Sage original Columbia 2 eye w... | |
| Audio Desk Record Cleaner I have had this cleaner for a few weeks now. I don't think it cleans any better than my Clearaudio cleaner. This cleaner did not remove pops like Michael Fremer said. I now know why he said that probably got his cleaner for a few dollars. I like t... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Wow Dougdeacon, the cartridge is starting to sound glorious. I put on a classical percussion record on the Erato label. The dynamics and bass whacks could give a person a heart attack. I never heard such weight and tightness and power in the bass ... | |
| Diamond drivers Dracule1 no I report it as I hear it. Sure home editions could change the outcome, but I heard enough of them in enough rooms with different equipment to base my own conclusions. I have been at enough shows to get a basic flavor for things. It is ... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Yes Dougdeacon, I was one of the first to use the eraser. I think it just needs the 50 hours of break in. | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Thanks, Dougdeacon I will try this. | |
| SACD remasters- any better than CD version? Ben, I agree with you in most cases the sacd version is a little rolled off in comparison to the redbook. People may feel this is warmer and closer to analog, but I don't agree. It should give you more resolution and dynamics. I think the best for... | |
| Diamond drivers I heard all the Raidho speakers at CES 2013 and was not impressed. It is a favorite of Valen's which means hifi sounding and it sure is. | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Dougdeacon, I just got the same ZYX mark 2 like you. How many hours did it take to open up the sound of this cartridge? I am at 1.85 grams and find right now that my VTA is much higher than parallel to sound good. I have owned other ZYX and they t... | |
| Negative feedback Amp=more faithful reproduction? So your amp sounds best to you when you dial in a little feedback big deal. It does not tell you that all amps should sound better that way. It is very hard to design an amp without feedback. My hutch tells me that if your amp were designed to sou... | |
| How important is the transport when using a DAC? Yup, I agree the best is MSB and it is linear go figure. | |
| VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage? Hifimaniac, that is easy. The companies that seem to get the recognition are the ones with big bucks to take out full page adds and get a great review from Valen. The best companies out there are like VAC, low key and word of mouth sales. | |
