| LP12 Ekos/Helikon cartridge mounting ...that is pretty simple: get the leads from www.needledoctor.com. They probably have Cardas ones realy inexpensive $4 for all four and all gold-plated.BTW Do you mean that the cartridge was soldered directly to the toneamr wires??? | |
| what mid priced cables should i buy? I'd better spend $350 on some decent bookshelves and use a regular $10 RadioShack speaker wire than spend extra for some high quality cables -- WAKE UP bro! | |
| equipment sound bad? You know, when someone is offering to listen something "better recorded" on the system that I audition I usually get up and walk away. I know that I have to get a right sound with what I listen and with what I believe is best recorded. I do not be... | |
| Is the speaker impedance constant or variable? ...so the amps that have different output onto different loads will kind-of straighten out the speaker's curve? | |
| Phono stage suggestions? I personally consider phonos with multiple gain settings a waste of bucks since there are too many amplification stages. That's why I would start my search from EAR 834P with 2 gain settings which is one of the best value stages for high and low o... | |
| Hall of Shame There are things that I personally ignore when surfing an audiomarket for upgrade:Cables: Monster cable, MIT, Transparent.Amps: OCM, Belles, Anthem, Jolida, Parasound, SETsCD-players: Rega Planet above $300 Speakers: Talon Khorus, Martin Logans., ... | |
| My first Jazz cd Here is my wisdom:Whoever sais that one album is recorded better than the other album you shouldn't pay attention for it. You should only pay attention on how you like this music first. Otherwise you might be in the situation when you will play a ... | |
| Hall of Shame anything by Martin Logan -- just a personal taste :) | |

Just make sure that pair of your amps can match with passive and your sources meaning gain, input sencitivity,... | |
| Speaker recommendation for BAT VK30 & VK200 I believe that isn't only you that suffered to set up logans. That's why I do not like them. There were a number of threads kind of "i give up" (Check this out, another previous Parasound-Martin Logan problem). You want to continue to build real f... | |
| Tube integrated with MC phono stage? I'm affraid that some good step-up transformer will be neccessary(added or included into your budget)in this case. Make sure that your turntable is a good match with the cartridge you have. | |
| Denon 103D w/ Systemdek IIX?Rega RB300? Hell no! I've never heard/seen that kinda combo!You can do unlike Avguygeorge said: first get Rega P3 with RB300, realize that Rega deck sucks after several months of listening, buy another deck such as Michell, VPI or BASIS and than realize that ... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend I would place a bet on Avalons They're a bit hard to drive but not with Jeff Rowland (a true full range speaker is always hard to drive for what I believe) | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? Hmm one day I've played Piazzola record in my listening room and my wife started to dance with my baby-son. The tonearm hooked up with Lyra Helikon started to jump back and fourth along with my heart. Fourtunately the stylus/cantilever is OK but l... | |
