Jfrech's systemSorry John. I read Thesaint519's post of 8/07 to you in which he writes "...but almost done." I mistakingly thought you wrote that and I was just jokingly trying to convey that anyone who... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Sublime SoundFunny, I refer to it as the "cartridge wars." It is coming along nicely. The My Sonic Labs Signature Gold now has about 40 hours on it and I'm becoming familiar with its sound. After anot... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Jfrech's systemJohn, want to stop by on your next trip to Boston and hear my 30/12 again? Precision and natural sound are it's hallmarks. posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Parmenter SoundHello Jason,I did prefer the 160.8 to the 160.5 in my friend's system with Alexias. However, the areas in which the sound improved are not weaknesses in my system, so I have no plans to swi... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Jfrech's systemJohn, I'm surprised that the timing with the Vivaldi dad is even better than the timing of your direct drive turntable. That is very interesting. Why do you think that is? posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Sublime SoundNo, not any time soon. I would love to hear the .8 in my system to really understand the differences, but as an existing owner of the XA160.5, the cost to switch over to the XA160.8 is just too muc... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Parmenter SoundThanks Jason, I heard a direct comparison between the XA160.5 and .8. I thought the .8 had better control of the lower frequencies, it has a lower noise floor so details are more apparent and it ba... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Parmenter SoundJason, how would you describe the sound difference between the .5 and the .8? Also, what cartridge do you use on the SME 30/12? It looks as if that turntable is right in the direct sound path of th... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, I thought the one you have is near perfect and you kept it in place of another MK3 that you had been using. This reads like a time warp. You must have great sources looking for these tables... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Albert Porter's SystemAlbert, I'll also be very curious to read about what you think of the Atna compared to the Atlas and the Supreme. posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |
Jfrech's systemDoes this get you to 100% Opus? Whoa. Pretty darn nice. You've had quite a year or two with the room, the speakers, the pre, the DAC and now the cables. Must sound fantastic. Congratulations John. ... posted almost 12 years ago | View comment | |

Sublime SoundI did not mean to suggest that the AirTight Supreme came as part of a package with the SME 30/12 and V-12 arm, just that the table and arm were a package.For what it is worth, the SME 30/12... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |

Sublime SoundThanks Number_95. No, I have only heard the V-12 on the 30/12 and only my Air Tight Supreme cartridge. They came as a package. Albert Porter has compared the SME 312S and V-12 to a fair number of o... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |

Voice Of Living PresenceThanks Syntax. That is a pretty high output with a high impedance. I think mine is .5 and 1 ohm, which is very low. Is the cartridge available directly from Dertonarm?His company seems to b... posted about 12 years ago | View comment | |
