| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @amg58, I forgot that the BL-91L originally had different and more substantial feet to begin with. Perhaps these were the MSB-100, I’m not sure. But the standard feet on the BL-91 are really crappy in my opinion. From the description of your cheri... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? My original point was that apparently some reputable brands have issued new models that could be regarded as an 'ode' to Micro. I thought it would be interesting to know how these would compare to the original, but apparently nobody has any inform... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @amg56, finding original Micro R-15 feet will be very difficult, but as an alternative I can recommend www.micro-Seiki.nl. They can supply exact stainless steel replicas for a reasonable price and they have even designed accompanying (non original... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? ’I don’t know what I don’t know and think that I know what I know, but how do I know which is which?’ This pretty much sums up my agnostic position in life as much as in audio. Is this blissful ignorance or am I just kidding myself?@amg56, the BL-... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? Guys, sorry for perhaps stirring this pot (or should that be ’pod’?) unintentionally. I’ve learned over the years that just about everything in audio has an effect on sonic quality, especially in analog. Arm pods, turntable mass, null points, the ... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @chakster, the CU-500 is definitely on my radar, but unfortunately the asking price is usually off my radar :-(. I certainly would like to use it on the RX-1500 and move my CU-180 over to the BL-91. I assume it's not allowed to negotiate on the f... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @rauliruegas, What's the point of your endorsement of a $40k turntable for people interested in a RX-5000 or one of its clones? I'm sure it will be absolutely shocking news for some people to hear that in your opinion this NVS table is superior to... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @amg56, I use three different arms. At the back left position a Reed 3P 12" on an AX-6G armbase, at the back right position an Audiocraft AC-4000MC, also on AX-6G and front right a Fidelity Research FR-64FX on AX-8G armbase. The Reed has a Van den... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @amg56, don't worry, my last remarks were very much tongue in cheek. I sort of enjoy the way discussions on this forum tend to take unexpected turns. From RX-5000 clones to paradigm shifts in global economic power is just a small step in 'lateral ... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? @amg56, I agree. The capitalist need for cheap labor ushered in globalism - as a slightly more civilised form of colonialist exploitation - and the communist regime in China opened their doors in a desperate attempt of revigorate their own declini... | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? Sorry, I was being sloppy. The correct URL is www.Micro-Seiki.nl which shows the RX-5000 exact copy called ’The Tribute’. This can be joined by a German made motor drive by Dereneville (www.AVdesignhaus.de).The table displayed by Acoustical System... | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings @wynpalmer4, thank you so much for sharing this information. It really is most valuable to get first hand confirmation that UK pressed SXL and CS labels were created equal by someone who was actually there! But in your experience the SXL's are sti... | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings @lewm , I'm not sure about the Decca - London situation in the late 70's. Perhaps Decca had changed their export policy by then. I do know that the New Malden pressing plant in the UK was shut down completely in the early '80's and Decca's were pr... | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings @harold-not-the-barrel , thanks for the kind words!I'm not a great Genesis fan, so I don't have first hand experience with that particular LP. First you should understand that this so called 'Decca - London debate' only has a bairing on the classi... | |
| Audiophile LP's Many valuable suggestions of course, but perhaps a more generalized approach could be helpful as well. Here are some basic guidelines I've found useful in many years of record collecting:1. Some labels had higher sonic standards than others and ar... |
