| turntable isolation feet I'll give a try to viropods. I had used a bike tire once. With an inch thick wood chopping board. I will also try it and see if there's any difference.Thx | |
| turntable isolation feet I have Thorens TD145, Clearaudio Bluemotion, Dual 1019, and Garrard 309. Garrard is with an old plinth and I am replacing it a new plinth. I will use Ortofon RMG 309 arm, and in the future, I will have an SPU cartridge. All other tables are with s... | |
| Headshell for RMG 309? I've found that Denon 103 is too light for SPU headshell. RMG 309 has a ocunter weight that can add up to 6g. The tonearm will balance at 32g headshell/cartridge. So, if the tracking force is 2g, the headshell/cartridge combined weight has to be a... | |
| Please Recommend a Cartridge for a Thorens TD-145 I have TD145 MKII with TP63 tonearm (removable armwand). I haven't used the Stanton cartridge, but I've used TD145 with Grado Gold and Audio Technica AT150mlx. Both worked very good and I think either will perform better than the Stanton. | |
| Subwoofer connection Thanks for your comments.The subwoofer has a 300W amp (from Keiga) and 12" woofer.Currently, I have two different systems that I can use with the subwoofer. 1. 50W tube integrated amp with Tyler ref monitor2. BAT vk60/vk30 with Tyler Linbrook syst... | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used Not considering the color, Tyler reference monitor would be a good choice. Sold used in audiogon at around $700. It is called monitor, but a bit larger than usual bookshelf speakers. | |
| the perfect tonearm And, I would say that Ortofon RMG 309 dynamic tonearm is one of perfect tonearms. | |
| the perfect tonearm The SAEC UXL3, Victor L1000 and Audio Technica LH-18, all these weight: 18grs.Thanks.I would eventually need an SPU cartridge to work with RMG 309, but I am trying to find a (cheaper) way to use Denon 103r which is 8.5g. With 18g headshell, I woul... | |
| the perfect tonearm Regarding Orsonic AV-101B/S being 16 gr, would that be one of the heaviest headshell? Any heavier one (except Ortofon SPU)? | |
| The Thorens 124 Fromunda,One of my friends told me that Ortofon 309 or 212 arm will best match with Silver Meister SPU. So, I would believe that you got the magic sound.Have you ever tried with different cartridge/headshells with your Ortofon arm? | |
| The Thorens 124 How much would TD124 be better with Ortofon dynamic arm and SPU cartridge? | |

| Active FETs vs. Step-up phono stage designs I guess the following document has some relevance.http://gramophone.net/Issue/Page/December%201978/197/834601/Movingcoil+stepup+devices | |
| Which to get rid of, TD145 MKii or Dual 1219? Mechans,Good suggestion. I would probably need to sell both and save more bucks to go for something noticeably better. | |
| Which to get rid of, TD145 MKii or Dual 1219? What do you mean by marking wildly? Pricing too high?I am not aware of recent interests in the Dual table. But I see that the price of entry level Thorens turntables (TD145, 146, 150, 160, 165, 166, ...) and Dual turntables have risen steadily, as... |
