I’m in San Diego and would definitely be interested in attending such an event!

Ok it’s post Christmas so that means I’ve opened and set up the Black Ice Audio fusion F159 tube hybrid phono pre-amp. compared to the built in phono preamp in my NAD C658 it is quite wonderful, literally causing me to fall in love again with my vinyl! Female vocals and guitars are warm...

Ordering a ruby stylus!

Did you mention the price you’ve dropped them too?

When the construction dust settles…find some acoustic panels to situate behind your speakers, I think you’ll be shocked at the definition it’ll provide. Lots of hard surfaces around there for reflections so decreasing those will provide benefits far outweighing the modest cost. Check out GIK...

I’m convinced the tech is changing so fast that spending a ton on an EV today is not wise, hence I intend to lease. I’ve an Acura ZDX type S on order, but we will see…..they haven’t disclosed lease pricing yet, let alone exact pricing!

Lease…..

I thought this could be interesting but I’m in San Diego and that beast weighs 116 pounds!

Let me know!

A shure V15 was my original cartridge on that tonearm! I’ve not made a decision on cartridge upgrade just yet but certainly considering an F9 route. I’ve bought a used Black Ice Audio fusion F159 tube hybrid which is a Jim Fosgate designed preamp. Ironically the gentleman selling me this piece...

That’d be pretty awesome! A fully functional body, I’d just need to get a stylus?

I may even follow the path suggested by many and seek out a Grace F9, I have the original literature from my Grace tonearm and it’s got lots of info about those carts.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m definitely looking now at the impact of my low mass arm and yes they definitely work best with higher compliance carts, doesn’t seem like many MC’s fit that bill. I’d rather not change the arm, that’s a sexy arm and it and the turntable are my only remnants of my...

You could simply put something atop the amp to take up the space so there’s no room for an animal. On the other hand a furless cat isn’t going to exactly shed on the amp even if it gets there😻😹!

Sutherland is definitely a well considered brand with options that quickly climb the cost ladder.

After a couple years of primarily listening to Tidal through my NAD C658 preamp (Anthem MCA225 mk 2 amp), on my classic 9’s I’ve decided it’s time to step up my vinyl game. Something better than the built in head amp for phono (MM only), in my NAD preamp. I have a nice vintage TT and arm...

What are you powering? I’m using the anthem MCA 225 II, it’s a 225/400/600 w amp with my classic 9’s so it’s pushing the panels and the bass sections both and it does a wonderful job. Anthem is associated with ML, I don’t think you can go wrong with their gear and ML’s.

I’m confused, on the sanders website their ESL mark 2 amp is for ESL’s, the magtech amp is designed to drive conventional magnetic speakers, not ESL’s.

Completely agree, I’ve a friend with 13‘s in a large room with lots of acoustic treatment, it’s stunning. my recommendation is buy the largest panels you can afford AND will do justice to your room. I’d love 11A’s but they’d be overkill for my small space. So really you can go too big...

EVERYTHING about it is better. I have a small room so using sound absorption behind panels and at first reflection points on the sides but the soundstage is amazing, broader than the footprint of the speakers. Bass because you have two woofers is far better, but I also have a B&W sub which...
