| Any idea where to find Micro Seiki tonearm parts? I've hunted for parts over the years and only found miscellaneous ebay sales. You may need to buy a second arm to have spare parts on hand. If you find another source, please let us know. | |
| Totem with Quicksilver Amps? Good question. The best person to answer is probably Mike Sanders:info@quicksilveraudio.com | |
| Tube amp recommendation for Dahlquist DQ10s The DQ-10s are inefficient and need plenty of power. Dahlquist never published their sensitivity rating, but it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 85 dB. Your Jolida 202a puts out 40 watts which should be able to drive them to a moderate level (97... | |
| Audio Technica AT150MLX vs Grado Ref Platinum I haven't heard the AT150MLX, but my Sonata is anything but boring and dry. To my ears, it has one of the most realistic and natural sounding midranges I've heard in a cartridge. The timbre is spot on. It may not have total control over some bass ... | |
| Sensual Music Philip, we need your list. Don't be shy. We're all hanging by a thread. | |
| Oscar Peterson I highly recommend his 1964 live recording "We Get Requests." It's outstanding. | |
| Paradisea owners Thanks to all who responded. That's encouraging to hear about the Audio Note kits. I like the DIY, NOS, and tube aspects. It's something to consider. I've heard about the Monarchy NM-24, but never knew it could toggle between tube and SS. How do t... | |
| solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT?? I doubt I'll ever hear such subtle nuances. But I will say this... I've been a long time Cardas user and recently switched to WBT. I couldn't be happier. It *flows* so much better. | |
| budget phono pre question In my opinion, the Cambridge stands out in this price range. They come up from time to time for less than $150 which is an absolute bargain considering its performance. | |
| Looking to get a turntable. In my opinion, the Thorens TD-145 mk ii stands out as one of the best bangs for the buck in the classifieds right now. It also happens to be belt drive. | |
| Paradisea owners Thanks Marco. I appreciate the info. | |

| Paradisea owners Is there a difference between a 5670 GE black plate and 5670 GE 5 Star? Which one do you prefer in the Paradisea? | |
| budget phono pre question Yes, the Bellari has enough gain for the Virtuoso.03-25-09: ElevickYou will get better detail out of a cambridge 640. There was a creek on here also that should sound better.Absolutely agree. The Cambridge 640 is quieter and more detailed than the... | |
| Paradisea owners Tvad, can you briefly explain the impedance issue? The input of my preamp is 100k. The Paradisea output is 800 ohms. Yep, this is where it all starts! Before I do anything crazy, I'd like to try some different tubes. I haven't used anything other ... |
