He might deliver some valid nuggets once in a while, but you have to wade knee high through camel dung to find them.Just like Carlos and Rauls writing, self important people with too much time available.
Nevertheless , are we not more interested in what folks have to say, having hands on experience , and therefore some valid opinion , ergo what they write rather than how they write it No ?
I don't see how this point is relevant. There are many written sites that have been popular for decades. We are talking talk videos specifically,
I think you may have your input and output impedance mixed up. The 16.5 KOhms you cited is the input impedance and not a high number for that parameter. Output impedance is 200 Ohms.
Wow, what a nut, with an obvious Lamm axe to grind !
Jerry springer show ?
200 ohms would be a very normal output impedance, and very much like I would expect.
But I don't see that here:
Air Tight Opus 1 is installed and sounding great!
OUATINW > GBU .
All day. Every Day. GBU is meh. The Korean version is much, much improved.
As I said in my earlier msg. I am looking at the LL1.1 Sig Manual. Your pic shows data from the Web site. Pretty sure the Web site is incorrect and the manual is authoratative. The Web site has both input and output impedance at 16.5KOhms. So yes that Web version is a typo or an error. It's not the only one in their Web site specs. When the Web site was redesigned two-three(?) years back somehow several of the spec sheets got 'messed up' -- not saying he had a hand in that. I keep pointing those out to Lamm but they do not get corrected thus far.

Talk videos tend to bore and take too much time. Introductions and self-promotions. They cannot be searched. I'd rather read a transcript with salient points highlighted and maybe a few pictures.
Yes I agree, hence I had jokingly mentioned I am waiting for those 3 in Lagonda's post to start talk videos.
That is exciting Ron. How does it sound?
Did you happen to notice how J.R. set your VTA, by listening or by measuring the angle? J.R. seems to be all about precision. Will he come back to fine tune after the cartridge breaks in a bit?

Thank you, Peter!
It is only very early hours. But my initial reaction is that it sounds like how I was hoping from the beginning my vinyl playback would sound! The tonal balance is materially different.
The Io is happy with the higher output (.45mV) of the Opus 1. The Io and the Lara seem to be getting along.
The Io is at 75% of maximum gain. The Lara is at 75% to 100% of maximum gain. So both units are getting a work-out.
Opus 1 loading presently is at 150 ohms.
J.R. sets VTA by measuring, unless something sounds amiss. Ultimately he goes by listening. He would not stay with a measured setting that doesn't sound as good as something he hears by adjusting and listening.
He fiddles with VTF by ear.
A future return is not presently scheduled. J.R. has a number of clients in Los Angeles, and I'm sure I will see him again relatively soon for one reason or another, even if just purely social.
He and Nanci have a standing invitation to hang out at the house for a mini-vacation!
I have my Opus1 set to 100 Ohm at 69dB gain. Works great here ! Awesome cartridge!
