| What is the fascination? My Red 3P "12 Cocobolo works fine with all vintage cartridges, especially the Garrott p77i. It's amazing tonearm for sure, but i love top vintage tonearms on the same level, definitely not from the 50s era, but from the 70s/80s | |
| Difference in sound using different carts when digitizing vinyl record? Definitely, there is a difference even in digital format | |
| Phono Stage Opinions I'm sorry, but i have to remind that iPhono is Made in China and MANY users have a problems with brand new units. Some users replaced 2-3 units under warranty and still have got serious problems. This phono stage must be avoided, seriously. I have... | |
| Difference in sound using different carts when digitizing vinyl record? Cartridge is the most important part in analog chain, your music is in the grooves on vinyl, bad cartridge can NOT extract all information from the grooves! It depends on the stylus profile first and overall cartridge design + phono stage. You wil... | |
| Can I substitute a 12AU7WA for a 12AU7 in a Primalina amp? WA is always a better grade tubes, surely you have to try | |
| Best turntable under $2000 It's so nice that we have Brenk who will be able to compare new Technics SL1200 GR to the Luxman PD-444 with various vintage tonearms. I'm looking forward to read more comments about it ASAP PD-444 is my favorite turntable | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? @edgewear Actually I do and can recommend it highly. It was part of a Japan only series of three models. The PL-30L II and PL-50L II were the smaller ones with 9" tonearms, the PL-70 II was bigger with a 12" version. One might say that these tabl... | |
| Phono Stage Opinions Buy yourself a JLTi phono stage for about $750 USD if you will convert the price from AUD. It can be supplied with special power supply for a bit higher price. If your budget is limited just buy one without special PSU and nothing can beat it at t... | |
| Gold Note PSU10 , anyone yet get one? Ordered my PSU-10 about 2 weeks ago, but my Itlian guys are too slow this time, i hope next week they will be able to ship it to me with express mail. | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? yep, that the only automatic part that some of us may need when fall to sleep in the chair while listening an LP :) Remote control for the amp volume control is another nice option. | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? the AT6006R Safety Raiser:This is how it works , explained by Michael Fremer | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? @sleepwalker65 Have you seen this AT Safety Raiser ? Brand new device from Audio-Technica for lazy guys: "Designed to mount on a manual turntable, the AT6006R Safety Raiser automatically lifts the tonearm at the end of a record, protecting the sty... | |
| Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR @tzh21y Why cant you mount the Technics arm on the Luxman? If you asking me, the EPA-100 mk2 has its huge VTA on the fly mechanism, exactly like on your SL1200G turntable. When the VTA is belowe zero the arm is still too high for the platter. Lu... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? I hate automatic turntables, especially the vintage automatic turntables.If the owner of such turntables is not a DIYer then they must be serviced, refurbished, adjusted, calibrated etc. Many automatic turntables are broken, the electornics does n... | |
| What is the fascination? Definitely, my analogy about $1000 MM over the $5000 MC is a personal experience with the best vintage MM and some of the best modern MC. We don't have to pay that much to enjoy the music. Some of the vintage MM are much more involving and less pr... |
