| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! I agree that the Sumiko Celebration is a good option. It was designed using an SME V arm. I had the combination until I recently bought an AirTight PC-1. There is a well written review of the Celebration in an old issue of TAS. The Celebration, IM... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Syntax and Ebm, You guys just kill me. Too much. | |
| Has anyone heard the Magico Q7 yet? I'm sure some will be sold. Perhaps not at full retail, but that is usually not known. The 94 dB efficiency is most welcome in these sealed/cone speakers (as a Mini II owner, I would appreciate more efficiency). But how do you move a speaker that ... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not I think Ebm's post is one of the funniest I've read in a long time. | |
| Pass XA.60.5 Monoblocks to Pass XA.100.5 Monoblock Great review Pettyfeversk. Thanks for taking the time to write it. Your experience is very similar to the one I had when I switched from the XA100.5 to the XA160.5. My speakers are harder to drive than yours, so the 100.5 was not enough power.I ha... | |
| Some tables have soul and some not Syntax, you made my day. That is hilarious. Perhaps that guy's soul went to heaven. | |
| SME 20 SME V cartridge I have an SME 10 with SME V arm. I used to have the Sumiko Celebration (Pear) and as Raul says, it was a very nice combination with the SME V. I replaced the Sumiko with an AirTight PC-1. The stylus is a line-contact rather than elliptical, so it ... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation Have you contacted Steve Dobbins? Presumably he sold you his Technics/plinth combo and the Reed arm. Perhaps he has some recommendations. | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl Well, perhaps not if just one individual decides to listen to only one medium, it being something other than vinyl. However, I care if many of us start abandoning vinyl. We have all benefitted from the recent vinyl resurgence of the past few years... | |
| Used Magico V3 or Rockport Mira 2 Sibelius,Are you saying the Magicos smoothed over the rough edges of a trumpet played at fortissimo levels or that other speakers often do that? What model of Magico did you hear? | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 Monoblocks Amplifier Hi Stephen,I responded to you via email when I go your last post in my inbox. Basically, I played my XA100.5 with music on softly for about 200 hours. I noticed the most change during the first 100 hours and then some for the next 50 hours.Congrat... | |
| Pros and Cons of "Staying with" Analog and Vinyl I have met fishermen who only flyfish and tie their own flies.Anyone spend time out on the water? Would you rather spend an afternoon on a sailboat or on a motor boat? And if the answer is a sailboat, the question becomes wood or plastic? | |
| Review: Pass Labs XA60.5 Monoblocks Amplifier Pettyfeversk,I just read your review and found it very informative. Your pleasure with the new amps is very apparent through your writing. What you describe is actually quite similar to my experience from when I switched from the XA100.5 to the XA... | |
| Tube preamp for about $1500? Watch for impedance match. If you want neutral, why not try a Pass X-1 or stretch for an XP-10? | |
| Anyone auditioned Pass Labs XP-30 preamp? I also am quite pleased with how holographic or 3D my system sounds with the XP-20. However, this was improved by placing the XP-20 and other components in my rack on Vibraplane and Townshend Seismic Sink isolation platforms. The increased isolati... |
