[Benz ace, low lack of warness? any suggestion for a warmer cart?]

Good Day,

i have a benz ace, as acurate as the benz are, the seems sounds is very clean, but lack of warmness?

I am searching for a warmer cart to use with my laScala? with Benz, never been able to listen more than 2 records, before listening fatigue appears?

Use to have a 103, does the 103R is a big improvement?

Good thing,

i had kept, my type al crossover, since everything been upgraded in my gear, maybe i should put back my old type al crossover in it to hear/see the difference! did not thought of that!

so after my 3 weeks listening, will do the same with my al type! i'll keep you inform on that!

thanks, it is a good idea!

i did try the red, very very impressive, a huge soundstage, and acurency is sky high! i decided to go for the black!

So far, from my research, the 2m blue is the thing! quality, and fair price!

A+

Hi i'll take your advise, but so far my Benz Ace, as acurate has she is, she lack warmnest and was responsable for some listening fatique, for now, i resume the process with a Denon DL160 (i had broke my denon 103, trying to install it!)

So one week with 4 Ohms, one with 6 Ohms and one with 8 Ohms, will hear and i post my impression!

Thanks, sometime you are to close to the wall to see a simple door, thanks for puting everything in perspective!

So if i have type A crossover (The crite type A), i should modify them or listen to them in 4 Ohms? that is the more neutral, i could get, without modification? right?

[phono preamp, artemis lab, anyone try this one?]

I guess, my problem is my cart, a Benz Ace Red, mc low, very very detailled sound, but an evident lack of warmness compare to my now gone DL103 ( i broke the canteliver with my hudge thumb!).

Maybe, i should order another DL103, maybe a R version, or any suggestion for a warmer cartrige in the mc low zone?

A+

Thanks for the info,

So i am searching a set-up to have the more realistic sound possible, no overbright, not to dark, and very musical, SO:

I don't have bi-wire jumper, so it should be 4 Ohms, but i don't like overbright speaker, so i'll guess i would go for the 6 Ohms for more natural sound?

Will listen to it and gave you my impression!

Thanks again, very helpfull!

Good Day,

I have a pair of laScala and a leben cx300(EL84 and 12ax7).

On my leben, i have the choice of listening [*-)] in 4, 6 or 8 Ohms?

I have noticed a slight difference between the 3 set-up? but could not tell witch one is the best?

I have noticed some listening fatigue, and i was set in 4 Ohms, anyone experienced with those parameters, could share is observation/recommandation on that?

ftr, i have the bob crites, type A updated my laScala

Also on one of my laScala, i hear a tchip tchip, tube or caps? both are one years old? maybe one bob caps, were broken in transport?

Thanks for any help?

Regards

Ortofon Red or the blue!

[phono preamp, artemis lab, anyone try this one?]

I know it is expensive, but i search a replacement(got two turntable and AQV, will go XLR with my other tt) for a AQvox for my P9, rega?

the tercel, was out in production when i bought the Aqvox, it was one that intrigated me, with decware phono?

Audioresearch P7, should i invest more and get the real thing, or search for a BBuy versatile phono stage! i like to swith cart around!

I am looking to upgrade my phono preamp, does anyone try this phono preamp from Arthemis labs, it to go with my laScala, my leben and my Rega turntable?

[laScala and Shindo?]

I just read on 6moons, info on shindo, seems like very well done? Does anyone have experience them with laScala!

For now, i have a leben cs300, but phono stage from leben is 2.5k$CAD, so instead of upgrading the leben, maybe i should go for shindo? for my laScala?

I tought about the Auriege mm preamp and maybe the Montille EL84 or the Cortese El34? not decided yet, still searching a place to listen to them in montreal?

Thanks for any info!
