| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? I researched this about two years ago when I was looking for an integrated amp. At that time, I could buy two Accuphase amps from Japan for less than the retail price in the US. And that includes the shipping.The distributor markup is exorbitant... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Looks good! I am curious as to why you place a piece of paper under the 45 spacer. Does it vibrate? | |
| New Funk Firm Achromat Warped Mine is flat but I remember reading about at least one other that arrived warped.I am sure Music Direct will replace it with no issues. | |
| Magnepan 30.7’s I heard the Magnepan 30.7 demo at Absolute Audio in Santa Fe last weekend. I don't usually date speakers that are taller than me but I thought they were very nice and well worth making an effort to hear.Wendell was very low key-no tiresome 30 mi... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B @pani Thanks for your comments on the Time-Step power supply. There are very few A/B comparisons from actual owners on the web and those are mostly rather equivocal. I was hoping you had listened to your table before the operation.I read your re... | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings @syntax "London CS was created from Decca because Decca couldn’t use their own name in USA.(There was a small private label which was named Decca). To avoid any problems, Decca decided right from the Start to create for USA a new Name, London."... | |
| Technics 1200G Tweaks @chakster Always intrigued by your comments on vintage cartridges. It is on my list to try one but I first have to deal with the wire issues. Agree that many MM carts are underrated these days.@jsm71 Thanks! I am very happy with the table, whic... | |
| Technics 1200G Tweaks @chakster For stereo I am using a Hana EL. At some point I would like to get an Art 7, based on all the positive reviews. Since I am a record collector, I have a number of carts, for mono, 78s, etc.I had a look at the Zu cables on Ebay. It app... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Pani: Did you listen to your Technics 1200G before you had the Time-Step PSU installed? | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B "As I listened more I also realized that the 1200G does not have the fluidity that I am used to with the Garrard or other belt drive TTs I have heard. Notes bloom but die out instantly, followed by a silence before the next note. "I just got my... | |
| New SME SYNERGY Turntable! For me, the big news was the possible reissue by SME of the Garrard 301 in 2019. | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G I also have a Pioneer PLX1000 that I bought brand new - $700. I have a Denon 103R on it. And it sounds just fine! Made in Japan, too! I can't hear any "cogging" with it - contrary to what some "golden ears" will claim! The Pioneer PLX 1000 is ... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Here is a link with measurements for a 1200 specifically addressing the jitter issue. There are others online as well:http://archimago.blogspot.com/2014/08/measurements-technics-sl-1200-m3d-wow.html | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? I can't hear the "jitter" on my Technics 1200 MKII and I have listened very closely. So far as I know, there are no measurements that even prove the "hunting and pecking exists on the 1200. I suspect that to some extent the myth was promoted by ... | |
| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 Spatial Audio X2 really impressed me at RMAF. |
