SME - Model M2-9 Tonearm

Product No: T SMEM2
Available: LimitedStock
Category: Tonearm
Label: Equipment

Logical segue...

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, April 17, 2016 by Carlos Bauza This would have been the logical progression of the 3009 series, in absence of the 300 series. It is delightfully beautiful and impressively solid. It has been a perfect vehicle for Denon DL-S1, Stanton 881S, Sumiko Blue Point 2, Grado Statement 1, Stanton 500 EE II. Perfect tracking for all, neutral sound, solid-ample-consistent staging, and perfect cueing. Easy to set up and adjust but Model 309 is easier still. A substantial tonearm with virtually perfect sound and tracking but slightly less comfortable to adjust than SME Series 300.

Lyra - Kleos SL Low Output

Product No: T LYRA KLEOSL
Available: SpecialOrder
Category: Low Output Cartridges
Label: Equipment

The right choice

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, April 7, 2016 by LD100 After owning the Kleos SL for over a month, I think I can fairly review it and the result is 5 stars. The Kleos replaced a Lyra Argos I used for a little over ten years mounted in a Linn Ekos tonearm. The Kleos is everything the Argos was, detailed and neutral, but to a much greater extent. An extended low end is also apparent. The only caveat that I can think of is that the SL seems to be sensitive to 60 cycle hum so proper cable management is required. I would make this purchase again without hesitation and highly recommend this cartridge to my friends, although once they hear it no recommendation is necessary.

AcousTech - The Big Record Brush

watse of time

1 Stars
Posted Sunday, February 14, 2016 by ted ralston after about two weeks and various attempts I cannot recommend this brush.

at first I tried it ungrounded for a couple of days and noticed no difference between it and the Hunt EDA I normally use. the mat actually came up with the record.

then I grounded it with the preferred instructed method the cord to the screw holding your plug cover to the wall. no change still ineffective. then I tried an alternate grounding to my power conditioner ground screw. no change then to my phono pre amp ground screw, again no change.

exasperated I then tried various speeds and number of revolutions of the disc sweeping and from fast to slow exiting the disc. again no luck.

while it does an adequate job of removing dust, no more or less than the Hunt brush, it is not an improvement... I used it in low humidity 35-40 % , on both a thin leather mat and a thin cork mat. the mat material made no difference.

not at all what I expected from a Stereophile recommended component

D.B. Systems - DB Systems DB-8 MM Phono Preamp

Product No: M DB-8
Available: InStock
Category: Phono Pre Amps
Label: Equipment

Probably the best preamp under $500

5 Stars
Posted Saturday, February 21, 2015 by Anonymous I bought this after scouring for reviews online and reading universal praise, not only for this item, but all of DB Systems products.

This phono preamp is definitely not a showpiece, and is housed in an unpretentious simple box that has a sort of "prototype" appearance. It's no frills- no nonsense, but what really matters is what it can do.

What this preamp can do is kill giants. Noise floor is super low, and I hate to say it, but it blows away my slightly more expensive Parasound Z Phono. It produces warm, accurate, balanced sound in my relatively inexpensive system (ProJect Debut Carbon and Epos Epic 2 speakers). Also made in the U.S.A by the same guy who engineered it.

Posted Thursday, March 27, 2014 by JJ77 So far this is the best sounding Headphones to my ears for all types of music from my headphone amp/dac to Zune and I Pod players. :) The sound is much richer with the PS1000 pads. To my ears the two sound the same with these pads?

Best I've owned

4 Stars
Posted Saturday, December 21, 2013 by Wowflutter I finally bit the bullet and purchased the most expensive cartridge I've ever bought. Before this I had a Denon DL110 (I think that is the model). I have to say, I have no regrets. Seems much better sounding than what I was used to. I've had two issues though. It seems as though the cantilever suspension wore out and the cartridge sagged after a while. I've never had any mishap that would have damaged the cantilever. My VTF was always set correctly also. Granted, I play a lot of vinyl. I had used this for about a year. In fact the only way I noticed it was at the end of an album, the body would rub on the record label. It sounded fine while playing. Visually, It looked like it sagged. I ended up purchasing a new stylus, and all was well again. The second issue was, the original stylus seemed to have much more sibilance than the replacement. The second one had none at all. Was the first one faulty? I don't know.

Pro-Ject - 1.23M RCA to RCA CC Tonearm Cable with Ground Wire

Product No: W CNTITRCA
Available: BackOrdered
Category: Phono Cables
Label: Equipment

Fragile.

3 Stars
Posted Wednesday, November 6, 2013 by Brian This phono cable is exceptionally fragile which is a surprise to me coming from Pro-ject. The ground wire is super, super thin and spade terminals are extremely small and susceptible to dislocating from wire. When I recieved mine it was a demo and the barrell cover on the left terminal will not thread on correctly and stay in place. I used loctite to secure it otherwise when I try to disconnect from rca terminal the barrel comes off but not the rca connector. They are however, very quiet when connections are all secure. Would not replace with same cable. Spend the extra money for a better quality cable.

Posted Tuesday, August 27, 2013 by Donald Scarinci Power cords make a noticeable improvement in sound quality by improving dynamic contrast or "blackness"--the space between notes. You need to throw away the power cord that comes with your audio components and get a good one.

Great Needle

5 Stars
Posted Sunday, July 7, 2013 by Emmanuel So I was listening to my records on a Rega RP3 with Elys2 Cartridge (factory installed). I thought the Rega player and needle were decent, then, my new record player started having motor issues, so I had to return it. In a quandary what to do, I decided to go big or stay at home, made a leap and purchased a New VPI traveler and settled on 2M Blue after talking to Chad Stelly at Acoustic Sounds. Stelly was knowledgeable and helpful without pretensions. He gave me the low down on this cartridge in layman terms. I went for it and haven't regretted it since then. This Cartridge edges out the more expensive Rega Elys2 by a small margin. It generates clearer more defined sound overall. I noticed my 45RPM records have more air in them. I found it interesting that the 2M Blue had a slight higher output than the 2M Bronze and 2M Black. Great cartridge for anyone looking to move past the entry level cartridge stage. Even after I broke the needle cover, Ortofon sent me a replacement.

Symposium Acoustics - Ultra Platform X-Large (19x24)

Product No: S ULTRA XL
Available: SpecialOrder
Category: Isolation Devices
Label: Equipment

A must to get max out of you amp

5 Stars
Posted Thursday, April 18, 2013 by TJN First of all it`s always a pleasure and joy unpacking a Symposium product, this is high quality products!

Some weeks ago I recived this platform as an ampstand version, this include the Terminator cone feets with tellurium copper reversible spikes. I have a 140 lbs. amp on it and have testet different options regarding placement; spikes in couplers on a thin carpet, spikes through the thin carpet and into the concrete floor, couplers or rollerblocks between amp and the platform. The best result by far is the spikes into the concrete floor and the rolleblocks between amp and platform. The sound improvement is very clear; the first you hear is the improvement of the soundstage, it`s clearly bigger and deeper, the 3D is superb!, the background is darker. Bass is deep and thight, check out the bass on those AP Prestige records! You won`t belive it! A wonderful and airy treble and the midrange is now as natural as you want it. Highly recomended!

Pahmer Enterprises - Q UP Tonearm Lifter

Works really well

4 Stars
Posted Thursday, October 18, 2012 by Jeff C - Australia I've just installed one of these on my Rega P3-24. It took about 5 minutes, was easy to set up and works a treat. Because the clearance between the deck and the arm on the Rega is small I had to mount the Qup without the adjustable U mounting bracket. This is why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. I also had to add some thin double sided tape to the base of the Qup to fix it to the turntable. By carefully reading all the instructions on the Qup website http://thequp.com I found they had provided info about how mounting on a Rega would be a little different. You do get a slight thunk sound through your speakers when it activates but I think that is acceptable as some run out grooves are very noisy anyway. So if want the extra convenience of automatic arm lift up at the end of a record on a manual TT then I think this is a very neat solution.
