| SME 20/2 Finger Lift Hum I have an SME V arm and have never installed the finger lift. I don't want another piece of metal that could vibrate a tiny amount between the headshell and bolts near this sensitive part of the arm and cartridge. I don't know if this sounds bette... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ozzy, It had nothing to do with price.When you toggle the unit in and out of the signal path, what do you hear other than a change in volume? Does the soundstage collapse? Is part of the signal missing? | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ozzy, At least one user did not like it enough to keep it. Read Madfloyd's comments above. He writes "Ultimately I found....the effect too distracting for me." I spoke to him at length about it. He returned it after the trial period and I had the ... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA100.5 Amplifier John, the XA100.5 should be fine with those speakers as long as the room is not huge and volumes really high. Enjoy. | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Lrsky, you may be right in the sense that it will find its way into MP3 players, car radios, TVs etc., and could be described as "the next phase of audio as we've known it." But how do you explain the decidedly mixed reports from users in these fo... | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA100.5 Amplifier You are most welcome John. These Pass XA.5 amps are really great. I have since switched to the XA160.5 as my new speakers needed the extra power. Like Stephen said in his review thread, you are welcome to call me up anytime also. I've been in touc... | |
| Review: Walker Audio Proscenium Gold Signature Turntable Rushton,I came upon your review and really enjoyed reading it. You mention under "similar products" the SME 20 and 30. Could you please describe the differences you heard between the SME 30 and the Walker? Thanks. | |
| Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne Are there different versions of this speaker that have been demoed? Or have they just demoed prototypes at different shows? Are they in production yet, and if so, could some owners describe how they sound in their systems? As an owner of small mon... | |
| New Pass Labs Xs amps Jeb,I get it now. It was a joke, right? Good one. | |
| Solid State Phono Pre-amp Recommendations I agree win Don. The Pass Xono for about $2K is a great SS phono. Very neutral and very adjustable. Great build quality and very reliable. Super support from Pass Labs if you should ever need it. | |
| Best cartridge match for SME 309 tonearm??? I bought my new SME 10/A with a Sumiko Celebration new in 2003. Great combination. The cartridge has great bass and is just slightly warm of neutral, IMO. I have since upgraded to an SME V arm and AirTight PC-1 cartridge.I also found that replacin... | |
| Vinyl pressing/ So Beautiful or so what... I always clean new LPs using my Loricraft and AIVS 4-step process. They just sound much better once properly cleaned. | |
| Demagnetization for MC - good or bad? I used to have one of those Aesthetix units and stopped using it when I heard that it could be doing damage. So my new cartridge has never seen it. I also never really heard any improvement when I used it on my old cartridge.Now I degauss my syste... | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ozzy, Thanks for that very interesting review. Now that you have changed room treatments and the positions of your speakers, how do you know that the result is from the Qol? What do you hear when you toggle the Qol in and out of the system? When i... | |
| PASS LABS XP20 or MODWRIGHT LS 36.5 DM I own the XP-20/XA160.5 combination. I think it's great, but I'll admit I have little experience with electronics other than Pass in my system. I have tried a couple of tube pre amps but they did not work with the XA100.5 when I had that amp. The ... |
