| Personal Tuner Evolution Yes, and perhaps a bit undervalued because they are not as nice looking as many of their Japanese competetitors, let alone Marantz or McIntosh. | |
| Personal Tuner Evolution 1. Pioneer TX-9500II2. McIntosh MR-783. Marantz 20bFor me the Pioneer sounds best by a small margin (although the MR-78 is now what I listen to--go figure!) The Marantz lags behind (and it has been recently serviced.) | |
| Looking for a CD player that holds 5 CDs An Anthem CD-1 by Sound Frontiers. It may be hard to find, but I still think mine sounds wonderful. | |
| Technics Sp-10 platter screws A little "googling" taught me the original platter screws are "pan head shoulder screws." There seem to be several sources in England, or one could have them custom made in China if you needed several thousand or so. If someone with the original s... | |
| Technics Sp-10 platter screws What diameter is the bushing? I need the screws (although the table sounds fine without them,) but don't particularly want to pay the £49 the chap in England is charging. | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game I have the SP (Standard Play, i.e,. 78 RPM) version of this cartridge that I picked up in unused condition for a song on ePay, and it is wonderful --especially for post-War (that would be WWII for those of you have lost count) sides. Without inter... | |
| What's the best buy for 2nd hand at 200 USD? Late 70's Sony direct drives are still decent values and under rated performers. Look for PS-X6, PS-X7, PS-X60, or PS-X70 or variants there of on the auction site. | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? I have two mono MC cartridgesDenon DL102and Ortofon SPU monoand both have sufficient output for any normal MM phono stage. Of the two, I find the Ortofon has a naturalness that the Denon can't quite match, but the Denon is cheaper and satisfying... | |
| Small DAC With Balanced Outs The Apogee MIni-Dac should fit the bill. | |
| MONO cartridges I think if you are mainly playing mono re-issues, a Helikon Mono may be the way to go (if you have the funds.) Their sophisticated stylus may be a better match for modern cutting heads. If you are like me and have a bunch of old mono lps and 45's,... | |
| Which CD players have AES/EBU digi outs? Pro audio cd players! I have a Denon Dn-C680 with AES and S/PDIF digital outs (and balanced and unbalanced analog outs.) It is a very substantial broadcast deck that retails for c. $1,000, but if can often be found used for much less. (I payed $66... | |
| Great sounding smallish DAC, balanced output, $3K Apogee Mini-Dac is less than $1,000, very small, very versatile, supports high sample rates, had balanced outputs, a good headphone amp, and sounds very good to me. | |
| Is there a truly musical multiple CD player? I second the Anthem CD-1; I found mine very musical and satisfying. | |
| Good Sound Quality From 10 Inch Records? Have you tried a mono cartridge? I use an Ortofon Mono SPU with a .1 mil conical stylus--it seems to work pretty well. | |
| Is there a truly musical multiple CD player? Another oldie but goodie: the Anthem CD-1 from Sonic Frontiers |
