now all you need is De Wood to build you a plinth and you are all set oh plus a modern arm... I have heard that the stock 75s sound great but the updated ones sound superb almost the equal of the 301/401 How are you liking the idler sound

Greg, do you have the most up to date MIO console, drivers and firmware, if not go to mhlabs.com and grab them. My issue is sometime when I flip an LP the 305 loses sight of the mic pre amps and outputs no sound and meters see nothis as well but if I reboot the unit all is well.

Oh and the sonic 305 is also acting weird, is there major solar flare activity?

It is essentially the 4D although current dealers may dispute this as they redid the line in response to Sora Sound losing their distribution rights. On another sad note, nothing ever goes as planned. No sooner did I get the Atmos on the deck did the OL Sovereign speed go fucking haywire. I have an email into them to see what the potential problem could be. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

the Atmos is even a better deal as when I called dealers they wanted over 3k for just the airy and he has the Atmos for about $2200, either way its tough to go wrong

HOLY COW! the Atmos is a screaming amazing cart and as good as the Yatra, Fuji and Bloom were the Atmos smokes the living daylights out of them. I'm going to give it a break in over 25 hours or to begin to listen seriously as most reviews point to this time frame for suspension break in. So far all aspects of reproduction are vastly improved, sounds really jump out of the speakers . Listening to Willie Nelsons Stardust, what a fun record, and the guitar snap is wonderful and the vocals are just magnificent.

Spumoni Gardens Pizza from Brooklyn square slices !! Ed great pics I have to try that place if I am in Az again

yes Greg the Bloom has better mids than the Denon but the Denon has the better bass. In the end it is a trade off but I am going to sell the Denon on the net few days and stick with the Bloom as a back up for the Atmos. Liking the Bloom over the Denon does not make the Denon suck. Both the Shelter and Denon are great carts in their own right but at the end of the day given the trade offs with each cart I do really prefer the Bloom. You could get the ZYX RS100 on ebay for $680:jacob:

great looking arms, nice score Ari! I really love the look of the SME arms but admit to never having heard a SME product, I had a strong lust for the TTs for a while.

just as an update a month or so ago I bought my Bloom back from Dan by way of Alex and WOW what a great cart. Not sure what I was thinking when I sold it, although I dod just upgrade to the Atmos but I do think this will remain the back up. It is a shame that Zyx got greedy and axed Sora Sound as Mehran was a great dealer/dist for them. At $500 it was the deal of the century at $1000 it is a tougher sell. Still great for a grand just tough to stomach a 100% markup over the previous price. Hate to say it but I like it over the Denon DL-S1.

the Lenco and 301/401s I have heard at shows have been stunning, when mated with a great plinth they are top class decks on a side note I ordered a ZYX Atmos today and hope that it is all it is cracked up to be

Mike have a great today, the final day of Mikapaloza!! It was great to celebrate your Bday with you.

Greg, my brother from another mother, Happy Birthday hope you have a great day.

I wonder if when I can record the difference digitally? In the metric halo console I can pull the signal from the firewire send and route it to the digital recording console?

actually this is possibly the best backwards scam ever invented, he is pure mad genius and maybe turning the audiophile community on its ear by pointing out the absurd with coconuts and exeres pods

U R N I D 10 T

Yeah screw that , it reminds me of people that volunteer for stuff then drop the ball

I really liked the 17D3 but thought that the Zyx Fuji was better on the Sony table. I would like to listen to the 17D3 on the Origin Live to see where it performs relative to the Denon.

Cart update So far the Denon DL-S1 is ruling the roost to my ears and preference. The Soundsmith while showing great promise was a mismatch for the mic or line inputs of the Sonic 305, so no more MM or MI carts for me. The Shelter while silky smooth in the mids just can't match the Denon's extension on both ends. Denon's bass slam is outstanding my only quibble would be the mids are just a slight touch hard. They are not in any poor just not as smooth as the Shelter which could be a tad romantic in the mids. Keep in mind that all these carts float in the around $1000 or sub $1000 range. For the life of me I can't fugure out how they can't make a totally amazing cart for a grand but so be it. Right now the Denon is as close as it got for me. I do need to put the ZYX up fbut I'm not wrestling with the Mint LP protractor any more today. Looks like the Denon DL-s1 is the keeper and I'll be stepping up a rung for my next move to the $2k range over the next year.

IT has become apparent to me that I am co-dependent with Apple and ATT since I just pre-ordered my iphone 4 through Apple. While I am significantly more pissed at ATT I do blame Apple for not holding them more accountable. How can ATT and Apple screw this up given their core competencies.

The awesome part is now the premier site has them as sold out. Hope Steve and his factories can pump out a few million more of these in a month. Wonder if anyone has looked at the iphones impact on the earth from a mining perspective. These must be one large ass hole in Africa somewhere where the minerals for the chips come from.

Frank OMG that amp looks stunning can't wait till Mayberry to hear what you've cooked up. I'd love a 211/845 based tube design. the BH sounds great with push pull configured tubes but normally I do not like 34/kt88s as they can sound hard and give me listening fatigue over time. The BH did not have the ill effects that I am normally used to in these tubes. Love them for Marshall stacks though

Actually that is not a half bad looking set for a modern release, most modern releases look completely brick walled sausage. That release still has a fair amount of dynamic range intact some of those songs could have easily been a result of what he was given. Take most modern releases and you'll see this has shit loads of dynamic range compared to most. I just had a look at Stanton Moore's CD release lll from a Telarc related label and the graphs are nightmares compared to these. Now the only way he got the release to have any dynamic range was with the artists and labels permission as most command the mastering engineer to make it LOUDER. Blame Phil Spector not this guy.

This may be the most frustrating cell phone upgrade ever, I've attempted to give ATT my money now on 5 separate occasions. THEY SUCK BALLS the web told me to call and the phone rep said to use the web then yesterday a phone rep told me they were pausing sales to get caught up. I'll just wait until the dust settles.
