| Help - I've Got the Dreaded Transformer Growl.... As Ralph mentioned you need a DC blocker. I have a PS Audio UPC-200 HB (Humbuster) version. It works great. I also have a DIY single outlet DC blocker. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Best of Nat King Cole, cassette :-) | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Got it. Switched to (cassette) Tape now (Tandberg 3014A), listening to Super Tramp, Crime of The Century, MFSL, simply outstanding recording. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @uberwaltz I need to check "The Flat Earth - Thomas Dolby" album. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Dire Straits, On Every Street, Vinyl. | |
| Tone arm counter weight I use J.A Mitchell TecnoWeight on my RP6. I have used the same weight on 2 of my previous TTs. Can’t go wrong with it. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? @uberwaltz a bright cart does bring out good resolution on that table. Of course Nott is a better table/arm combo.@jafant I'm sure as the vinyl version (original pressing on Verve) is outstanding. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Nice table/cart combo you got there. How does it compare to your main TT (Nottingham)? I did audition that table but it sounded very laid back to me, albeit I auditioned the Jr. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? What cartridge Uber? I’m listening to Buddy Rich (Walkman Jazz, Verve Label, Dolby B) on the 1000ZXL. What tapes are you planning on playing? | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Uberwaltz, you're right there are a lot of good sounding tapes and you seem to have quite a few of them, but among the ones I own there are very few, I should have stated that :-). I have to admit tape and vinyl get same play time in my house :-). | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Stan Getz - Bossa Nova Years (Verve cassette tape), Dolby B. This is one of the very few tapes that was mastered well. Good dynamics and surprisingly good soundstage. | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Range loading range IME the phono stage plays a role in the loading too. I have a Quintet Black (same internal impedance as the Cadenza line), I tried loading the cart with 50 and 120 Ohms but that dampened the cart. a bit too much. The best I resolution I heard was ... | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Tandberg 3014A x 2 , Tandberg TD20A SE and Nakamichi 1000ZXL and my heavily modified EAR 834p phono stage. These four pieces are irreplaceable for me and they've been part of my system for the past 5 yrs. | |
| Reel to reel deck directly to power amp ? The other thing to keep in mind is the impedance match between the RtR output and Power amp input. | |
| Which Nakamichi to choose? @blueranger I could never warm up to Dragon's sound. It just didn't project the soundstage right. I sold the Dragon but kept the ZX-7 for a long time until I came upon the 1000zxl. |
