| Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others? John, glad you are enjoying it. It blows the doors off of many so called "audiophile" recordings. Plus the music is just great. | |
| Emma Watson- audiophile? At least you live at the home for the blind, not the home for the deaf. | |
| Impedance Mismatch ??? There are certain amps, such as the Krell Cast stuff that have the preamp acting as a current source, rather than a voltage source:http://www.krellonline.com/cast.htmlIf this is the case, preamp output impedance and amp input impedance must be exa... | |
| Impedance Mismatch ??? You are hearing correctly matched components, hopefully. The 10:1 ratio is a MINIMUM not a maximum, so the ratio of your component is roughly 330:1. Well, well above the minimum suggested rule of thumb. You are great. | |
| Turntable volume help Let's remember first that the further a volume pot is turned down, the less linear it is. If you can run the volume pot wide open, that is the closest that you can get to no volume pot at all. So no need to worry about running the volume pot at th... | |
| cartridge cost/quality/performance Lyra may select stylii, but I don't believe that they make them. IMHO they are from Namiki. | |
| Audio Research SP3A-1 or Conrad Johnson PV11 I have owned both the SP3A, updated by Julius Futterman and the PV11, but not both at the same time.My take is that both will need extensive upgrading at this time, and the more preferable unit may very well be the one that is upgraded to a greate... | |
| the way turntable recs and evals are made here The first thing to do is take a deep breath and realize that once there were scads of entry level tables. Every major manufacturer made one. Now there are but a handfull, and IMHO the fittest have survived. Once you get to the Project and Rega lev... | |
| Cartridge opinions: New stylus, or new cart? Thanks Johnny, I don't think that I was very clear at all and I appologize for the lack of clarity. I was not speaking necessarily of primary resonance. Adding mass at the headshell certainly can bring the primary resonance of the moving system in... | |

| Cartridge opinions: New stylus, or new cart? Johnny, a little off topic, but those cartridges have a wide range of compliances. Do you think that they will all work to maximum performance on the Technics arm? | |
| Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others? OT, you wouldn't be Early Bender would you? | |
| Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks type music, any others? It's funny, I love most of the acts mentioned but don't associate any of them with the sound of Dan Hicks. The closest thing that I can think of is Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. BTW, if you can find a quad copy of Hicks' "Strikin' It Rich" jum... | |
| Silly turntable question IMHO, the Panasonic obsidian base does not sound that great. My recommendation, first if you have a regular SP-10, sell both it and the base and get an SP-10 MK2. There is no comparison here. Make, or buy a nice Baltic birch ply plinth, or if it's... |
