| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I recently had a pair of Infinity Kappa 8.1’s. The soundstage was enormous, So, (depending on the recording quality) you could not only place an instrument left to right but, forward to backward. I have very nice speakers now. But, 3ft high will ... | |
| Mounting a cartridge Thanks loki1957. I called Brian this morning. He had time & I’m listening to albums now. He’s a great guy & was very willing to teach me as he went along. Between all the recommendations here, videos & Brian this was a great learnin... | |
| Mounting a cartridge Lewm, I have a force gauge & I got a protractor off Amazon. I mounted the old cartridge. I just hear so many people say at this level & above, how precise mounting is both tricky & an absolute requirement. I don’t want diminish the car... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Before this becomes a fist fight... I made my decision & bought the Lyra Delos that was listed on Audiogon. I checked that my RB250 would be workable. He said it’s a great starter-ish arm & would work great. I have Rega spacers.i also c... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Thanks everyone. I a deal on the Lyra Delos here. I’m ecstatic with it & because I was starting to to into “Analyis Paralysis”.youve all been very generous with you knowledge. I post my experience once the cartridge has settled in. | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Thanks everyone. From a comment here, Aris & a pm it’s seems the 17D3 can be very a finicky install because of the short Cantilever. The pm said even though the next upgrade is my ta (6-10 mos) my Rega RB 250 may not work well (bc short cantil... | |
| No right channel in new cartridge I’m asking for options on another thread too. I know this thread Is a bit old. If anyone’s reading, I’d like to ask for opinions. Scott at Aris Audio was rec’d on several threads. He’s offered a new Ortofon Quintet Black S for $855 new. He bel... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon This thread ran its course but, if anyone’s still out there... Scott from Aris Audio (rec’d on several threads). He has aDV 20x2 for sale here-there’s also a 17D3 Karat here too. But, he has a new Ortofon Quintet Black S for $855 that he thinks is... | |

| No right channel in new cartridge I was going to be done talking about the transaction. But, I just got a threatening email from Smoothy (after sending him the return UPS info 2 days ago) saying if the cart arrived he was going to file charges with the Police & he’s done it be... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Lewm, I must have been unclear. I absolutely won’t buy from China or a Benz. I won’t buy outside of North America. Thankschakster thanks for the links | |
| No right channel in new cartridge Thanks lewm | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Chakster, I don’t but from what I’ve read & understood here I thought MC was the better way to step into audiophiledom once I’m in this price range. It also seemed what I was reading was that most MM at this level have more of a warm feel &... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon I wasn’t clear. As you guessed, yes I meant I do like it just a tad bit bright. I have a new Jolida JD9 I’m getting to unwrap for Christmas. I’m thinking of the 2 DV’s on this site. There are a lot of threads with bad experiences on the Benzes f... | |
| No right channel in new cartridge lewm, he never wanted the cart back. He didn’t want to give me a refund. This is probably just too nuanced for a post. But, he wouldn’t let me return it & blames me. He would only let me send it to SS for his supposed great relationship &a... |
