| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @lewm Nothing Fawlty about my logic.Chakster, the person whom you quote here has got to be Thuchan. Who else owns such a collection of vintage turntables? great, i was not sure, but expected that it must a person related to audiogon. Well the... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I want to get back to Victor TT-101 discussion. Here is some nice info from the guy who restored this complex turntable. And this is another post from the same author, where he comparing TT-101 to some serious machines like Denon 100, big Micro SE... | |
| Could someone suggest a decent audiophile cartrige for a Technics dj TT? @addyson815 You can use hi-fi test record to measure the actual resonance frequency of your tonearm and cartridge. When you are using low compliance cartridge on lightweight tonearm the resonance frequency is way out of the desirable range. Simply... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? @dover Nevertheless I prefer a vintage plug from the 80’s, lightweight, minimal metal and robust. That's interesting! Which one, i'd love to see the images if possible. And what do you think about vintage phono cables? If you are in the habit... | |
| Could someone suggest a decent audiophile cartrige for a Technics dj TT? @gshepardbuster @mofimadness That’s fine, but the AT-ML150 OCC if from the 80’s and quite different from the current AT150MLX :) That vintage AT-ML series belog to the very best AT cartridges ever made (IMO), the AT-ML170 and AT-ML180 were the las... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? I don't think that 10 euro price difference is important:Neutrik ProFi - 20 euro pair (retail)KLE Copper Harmony - 30 euro pair (retail) I think the quality should be the most important for cable designer, not the minor price difference. In other... | |
| Could someone suggest a decent audiophile cartrige for a Technics dj TT? If you don't care about tonearm and cartridge matching at all then you can use DL-103 for the worst result ever on Technics lightweight tonearm. It's been said million times that DL-103 designed for HEAVY TONEARM, that mean HIGH EFFECTIVE MASS, no... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? @lewm I know and trust the owner, Paul Speltz; he is like we are, a serious listener, but he happens to be an EE and very smart in this field, as well. Meanwile the designer of that old Xhadow RCA made his own new LoveCraft RCA and claimed the... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? @nandric i wonder why Frank, the designer of Signal Cable Silver Sesolution (beloweb by your brother Don), don’t use ETI Bullets anymore? It’s stated on his site. His new choice is not KLE from Eichman, but the "standard rca" or more expensive tra... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Well, in my 40, i’m not on the same high-end levels as you gentelmans to hear the difference between two good RCA connectors, i’ve never done such tests. When i first checked that review, many years ago, i decided to buy both (Eichman and Xshadow)... | |
| Name that tonearm ! @toolbox149 I wonder if M.S. could have marketed it under a different name a some point? Micro Seiki TA-1 or Luxman TA-1 | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? @nandric Or you missed the ’’essence’’ Maybe, i just said they are fragile, not the best construction for re-soldering if needed. The benefit of the Xhadow is the bolt inside (to screw-in the signal wire to the connector pin) to pass on solgedin... | |
| Name that tonearm ! Exactly, this is Luxman TA-1 and i use this tonearm on one of my PD-444, it's great for high compliance carridges and much better build than the Black Widow. The armwand is removable, i'd love to find spare armwands (it acts like the one big heads... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? @nandric So I use, for example, Bullet RCA instead of WBT (grin). Those Eichman Bullet RCA are ok to use (i have 2 pairs), but they are not good for re-soldeging as the pins inside are very fragile and it's easy to destroy them in case of over... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? @nandric Anyway I hope you deed not spend mucho dollars for your speaker wire(grin). I did, long time before, tried various brands and stopped on Stereovox Firebird designed by Chris Sommovigo, same with interconnects (Stereovox Colibri with Xhad... |
