Rich, I have done several upgrades over the last 12 months. I just do not announce it. I have the SME 10 and the 20 and 30 are just too far out of reach. I bought it used and got a steal on it otherwise I would still be using my Thorens. Jeff:cool:

My Thorens I played closed. THe SME does not have a real dust cover so it is not there when playing. Jeff:cool:

Thanks! This has a lot of precise setup procedures but it is a work in process. :D Jeff

Well first of all you said it sounds ok so that is a clue that you are close. Whether you are close enough is a tough call. The only way I am afraid is to get another headshell and try it. Other than another cartridge of a different dimension that is all I have to offer. The hidden issue here...

Although your space is not what one would call ideal, I still would try an in home demo. You always have the option of saying no. I still belive it can work but you are the final judge and only you will know. Good Luck Jeff:cool:

First off, no problem. It was more of a thought not a definite fix. I think it may be just be that combination may not work. Is there a VPI forum somewhere so you can post the question there too? I know several others here have VPI tables and maybe they will chime in with experince and...

I guess this is a tough situation to say the least. Are you sure the arm and cartridge are setup correctly. I almost sounds like they are not. I do not know the VPI table at all but it sounds like as the arm moves towards the center of the record the distortion increases. If that is the...

I agree with Dan (DTB300) on this. Although we all would like the perfect room, the reality is most of the time it is a compromise. A lot of people also use the same space as a den/family/multipurpose room. There will be compromises in this kind of an area. I would not rule out ML's for you...

How is this? I took this last week. The wires behind have been moved. :D Jeff:cool:

What I can say is yes it is amazing and another leap up. The SME 10 is an amazing piece of engineering. I think now it is just buying some more vinyl and SACD/CD's and just enjoy what I have.:music: Jeff:cool:

Dave, Yes the SME 10 was a major jump up. :D Jeff:cool:

Kruppy, From CJ "Why is my conrad-johnson component phase inverting? A. Each active voltage gain stage in a circuit inverts phase once. In pursuit of ultimate purity in music reproduction, recent conrad-johnson preamplifiers have been designed for the absolute minimum number of gain stages –...

Welcome to the club, I too have CLSiiz's and I do drive them with a tube (valve) amp. I am using the Conrad Johnson LP70S. I do not play them at ear bleeding volumes yet I do have plenty of volume for when it is needed. Would more power -current be better maybe, but in my case, it would be a...

I also use my CLS's as 2 channel music and HT. I have no real issues at all. They really do quite well for both. Mine are about 3 feet from the side wall and about 3 feet from the back wall. Jeff:cool:

Jeff, Welcome I had a pair of KEFs before I got my first pair of MLs. The difference for me was eye opening. As stated above the mids and high was just more present and more defined for me. Also, as stated above room treatments play an important role too and this is where you can get your...

Tom, Happy Birthday and thanks for keeping up all the great work on this site from one of the old guys. Jeff, Happy Birthday. Enjoy the holidays and thanks for all you have done. Jeff:cool:

FYI I am using the CJ LP70s to drive CLS's. It does this with ease and does not appear to roll off at either end. Jeff:cool:

gritz_1. Welcome Yes new panels are available and they are $890.00 USD for the pair. Contact ML directly Good luck! :D Jeff:cool:

I had done this with my CLS atone time with no problem at all. I do not believe there is an issue. Enjoy Jeff:cool:

Harry, I am in Lancaster! I am driving them with a Conrad Johnson LP 70S. It is a 70 watt tube amp and has plenty of power to produce some excellent sound. Maybe we can arrange an audition. :) Jeff:cool:
