| Considsidering Replacing a Technics SP 10 Mk II with a MK III. Can I Expect Improvements? I doubt that the sonic difference between a Mk3 and a 10R would be worth arguing about. However, that makes no difference to the marketplace. I am sure there is and will be hysteria about the 10R causing a flood of mk3's into the market which wi... | |
| Allnic, Herron or Tavish choice? Musky, If what you say is true, I am wrong. Now I think of it, you're probably correct. The only restriction with both of those units would be that you've got to run one MM and one MC (or one high output and one low output cartridge), not two of... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. Forgot to note that your Shindo stuff is strictly single-ended. So I don't know whether you can really do true balanced mode, to test the function of the switch. (I am not even sure how the Allnic achieves balanced output. It might be via a tra... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. Calvin, Do you live on the East Coast, USA? If so, I can strongly recommend Bill Thalmann in Springfield, VA. Bill is a fine person and smart repair guy who is completely honest. | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. Speaking of interconnects, can you say more about your other components? Are you running the H3000 in balanced or SE mode? Is the hum in both channels? (I assumed so, since you probably would have mentioned it if the hum was in only one channel.) ... | |
| Considsidering Replacing a Technics SP 10 Mk II with a MK III. Can I Expect Improvements? I answered your question on VA. In sum, the Mk3 is far superior to the Mk2. But as I noted over there, before you compare any vintage DD to any other vintage DD, make sure that both turntables are running up to snuff. This means making sure that... | |
| Allnic, Herron or Tavish choice? You'd have to get the Allnic H3000 at least, in order to get that feature in an Allnic phono stage, unless the H1201 can do it. (I'm not sure.) The H3000 is around $12,000 new, or about $7,000 used. So far as I know, the Herron only accommodates ... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? "VTA adjustment on the fly" is perhaps the most over-stated feature of any tonearm. Who here has ever tried to adjust VTA while playing an LP, which is presumably the meaning of the term? Unless you don't care about the LP or the cantilever, this... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. Sorry for the brevity of my first response to your question about how to open up the case of the H3000. I was typing on my iPhone. I have no idea of your level of knowledge and experience when it comes to working on audio equipment, so that respon... | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. NoI've never been near an h3000you need a pro | |
| Allnic H-3000 hum when mute button engaged. Check grounding of the switch inside the unit. It sounds like engaging the switch causes the Allnic to lose contact with ground. It should be a simple fix. | |
| cartridges Grado TLZ was my first really "great" cartridge, back in the 80s. I still have it but don't use it. I thought there was something "special" about the cantilever and/or stylus. Is there a modern day replacement assembly that preserves the excell... | |
| I need a good arm to mate with a modified Lenco L75 bdp24, The position of the LT tonearm might only matter if you are using a Lenco still with its original plinth where the chassis is supported on flexible supports. Most guys who upgrade are using massive unsprung plinths; the tonearm could be mo... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 Chakster, It seems other guys here, who perhaps live in different countries, are saying they receive unopened factory containers when they order from 2juki, suggesting there was no possibility that 2juki tampered with serial numbers, let alone add... | |
| Fidelity Research FR14 as good Sonically as FR64 or Jelco750? We've been down this road before. There is no such thing in audio as "the best", in any category. It's safe to say that the FR14 is not the best at the price limit of less than $1500; you've mentioned that you can buy one for $550, which is roug... |
