| Equipment Protection, Monitoring Electricity Thanks for the advice. The first thing to do is to call the electric company. | |
| Which to get rid of, TD145 MKii or Dual 1219? What if you keep 1 table as a backup? You just never know. | |
| Thorens TD146/160 with Ortofon 309 arm? I may go with a Clearaudio Verify carbon tonearm after all. I'm starting to believe that with the right isolation feet, a 1 & 3/4 inch wide custom hard maple plinth and a sturdy wall mount, that I can make his TD145 upgrade worth the effort. I... | |
| Best FM antenna around $50 I also own the MD ST-2 and was wondering if I couldn't connect it to my MFJ -901B. The MFJ 901B is a Versa Tuner box with knobs for Antenna, Inductance and Transmitter. You could possibly just buy one of these boxes, connect it to the tuner and ru... | |
| Thorens TD146/160 with Ortofon 309 arm? I'm in the process of slowly modifying my Thorens TD145 and I want to change out the stock tonearm prior to upgrading to a Miyajima Premium BE Mono cartridge. The obvious choice would be to consider a lightweight SME, possibly the entry level magn... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? I'd look through the store record binds for Cecil Taylor recordings and as I had said earlier, Paul Bley (Keith Jarrett's biggest mentor) recordings. For myself, learning and discovering material is half the fun of buying records and both of the a... | |
| Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list How could I resist and I'm wondering if anyone else agrees with any one of these here listed. These are not in order of 1 through 6. All are still in print and on CD.Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert: Sonatas / HaskilRelease Date: 02/27/2007 Label: Orfe... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? Recordings on jazz labels from back in the day are often hit or miss. For example, I bought a mono first pressing of Ella Fitzgeralds 'Like Someone in Love' on Verve.. This record comes with an orchestral accompaniment on both sides A and B. Anywa... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? There is a book called 'Audio Reality' by Bruce Rozenbilt which was recommended. I just wanted to put that out there. Personally, I find that one of the biggest obstacles, at least now, is that a number of vinyl pressings, especially the older RCA... | |
| Top jazz trios piano, bass, drums on vinyl? I also like the Red Garland Trio and I had a favorite record which included Philly Joe Jones on drum kit. His brush work on 'The Man I Love' was as good as it gets. Even though the band line ups are often jumbled around, I myself would go looking ... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Right dead on Lewm. It's even recommended by ASR engineer Herr Schaefer that one uses the least amount of gain possible in order to reduce noise which to me just seems like practical sense. For my ears, I want clarity, balance, neutrality but I do... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Decouple the cartridge you say, yikes! I do have a friend who worked with a McIntosh dealer back in the day who has all kinds of weird stories concerning things like splitting head shells, attaching cartridges with soldered pot metal, running tone... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? I concur, I like my Mini Basis and what's it has done so far. ASR makes a nice amplifier also. I'll look at the Audio Technica 33 but it doesn't seem as though 2nd hand mono cartridges present themselves whenever I'm looking. I just take it for gr... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Thanks Pryso and point well taken. Of course subjectivity is limiting in the sense that I am unable to purchase 30 cartridges (excuse the hyperbole) audition them all out by comparison and then choose the one that I like best. I cannot even begin ... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Thanks Lewm, I didn't mean to sound snarky, Below is the best that I could copy and paste from the phono stage manual. By the way, there are no separate inputs for MM & MC, just the way it's put together. As a side note, I've always had a basi... |
