| Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC upgrade to Paua opinions? I am pretty happy with the MIMC on my SP-10 MKII with Vector Arm...Before this I had a Denon 301 and before that a Benz H20...The MIMC was a very clear step up from those. More dynamic, better at the frequency extremes. More articulate bass...So I... | |
| Subwoofer suggestions I suggest the Seaton Submersive HP. Great dual opposing driversub. Goes down to 10Hz. I have two I use in stereo mode...run my mains full range. With the dual drivers you get almost no cabinet vibration that gets transmitted to your floor.http://... | |
| MQA vs. ripped vs. vinyl vs. hi res If you check out the CSV file on this Meridan website of the listing of MQA albums you will see the list contains over 11K entries...https://www.meridianunplugged.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=268318There are some duplicate... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? I have Green Mountain Audio Continuum 3 with the HX crossover..They educated my listening on what phase and time coherence sounds like...They are great ones. | |
| No high pass filter on sub woofer! If you are open to a digital crossover these two pro pieces from DBX are very flexible...They have an iOS app so you can make adjustments from your iPad/iPhone. You can choose different crossover slopes, it has a 8 bands of parametric EQ so you ca... | |
| Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time? Putting the energy consumption issue to the side here is something to consider in terms of component reliability. I have had two sources tell me that electronic component lifetime is related to the number of power cycles (on/off). This came from d... | |
| Using Maple Butcher Block Under a Turntable My listening room is up on the second floor so I had to come with a mounting scheme to isolate my turntable (Technics SP10 MKII/ Basis Vector IV arm in Technics Obsidian plinth). I got the large Target wall mount shelf..I removed the standard MDF ... | |
| Surround Processor Upgrade to improve surround music? Auxinput, Thanks for your insight. It seems like moving to the Oppo205 would be a good first step using the analog outputs and then evaluate if that is far enough Shadorne, I do have a separate preamp and streamer/DAC (Lumin A1) for two chann... | |
| MQA vs. ripped vs. vinyl vs. hi res I have started to rip my vinyl to DSD128 via a Korg DS-DAC10-R. My front end is a refurbed Technics SP 10 MkII with Basis Vector arm and Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC through a Tom Tutay tube phono preamp.My streaming front end is a Lumin A-1...So I have... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? To Downunder: The two subs I am using in stereo mode are the Seaton Submersives. They are dual 15" subs with a 3400 watt amp each. They are flat to about 10-14 hz...So they can definitely excite the cartridge/tonearm/table system into feedback wi... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? I have an SP10 MK II with the Obsidian plinth. I am using a Basis Vector arm with a Soundsmith Zyphyr MIMC. My audio room is on the second floor so I have always mounted my turntables on the large Target TTW1 wall mount rack. I replaced the cheap... | |
| Lumin A-1 or Lumin U1 I will third the opinion on the A1. It is fantastic. It was recommended to me by a group of diehard analog guys (Walker tables and the like)...Said it was the first digital that made them forget about it being digital. I have also found a great... | |
| Is anyone familiar with the process to bias the TRL Dude Preamp Sorry for the slow response. I have been on travel. Thanks RX8MAN for the procedure. Bill, I may still call you to talk through this. Mine has the 1inch face plate. I think it was built in 2010. | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products I am wondering if anyone has tried a Pulse Gen module inside a surround sound processor. I have an Integra DHC 80.3 and was thinking it might be helpful there. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? I saw Jamie Cullum on Tuesday night this week at the 930 Club in DC. It is a small venue(1200 people) and a standing room club. WOW...This was perhaps the best concert I have been to in quite some time. Jamie is so talented as is his other 4 band ... |
