| TIME to break in a Denon 103R Doug, your answer dissapoints me. How can you recommend a cartridge that uses a 16.5u round stylus? That will destroy anyone's record collection--unless they are 1950's hard mono records. Maybe for a high end kiddie phonograph a radial tip would w... | |
| Oyaide outlets After reviewing the materials used in the F1/M1 connectors, it makes me suspect that lowered conductivity/high resistance may be the culprit. Those connectors are made with beryllium copper, platinum, and palladium, all of which are poor conducto... | |

| Recommend a TT/Tonearm combo under $2000? Speed stability is not an issue with the P5/P7 Regas. The power supply corrects any speed issuesShould I laugh--or cry?*** | |
| Recommend a TT/Tonearm combo under $2000? Speed stability is not an issue with the P5/P7 Regas.Yeah, right. | |
| My digital front end outdoes my analog..... It has to have a ton of gain as I will not every use an active linestage again(famous last words)My 100% solid state system uses a CI Audio passive, CI Audio DAC and Monolithic Sound PS-1 phono stage. No more active line stage pre's for me either.... | |
| Audio only room furnishings? Pay Rives Audio to do it for you. Rives has pricing to fit all budgets. | |
| $3000 on Analog system - how to spread? And, I'm surprised to hear that the phono stage has relatively small impact on sound. I'm glad I asked.Says who? Ask people who know, or find out for yourself! Dejan Veselinovic, an European audio journalist/circuit designer will bluntly tell you ... | |

| $3000 on Analog system - how to spread? I've never looked at my audio purchases like that, especially my analog rig. I use a KAB modded Technics SL-1200MKII. In terms of money it's not much but its technology to price ratio is BIG.I suggest you look at system goals, if you have any. If ... | |
| Should I stick with my old TT or buy new? If it's possible to fit a better arm (e.g. Rega RB250 or some derivative)The general perception is that Rega makes a better arm that Matsuhita. It's just a perception...Used to have a 1700. It's not like the 1200--and the 1200 can be easily modded... | |
| Looking for moderate priced MC phono pre I challenge you to make better music from a digital front end costing twice (or ten times) the price. Notice that I used the word "music" and not "sound" in the previous sentence.It could be said that the MC will provide some spatial & HF arti... | |
| Direct Drive Rumble Macrojack,You'd be astonished as to the performance that a KAB modded Technics 1200 can deliver for about $1K. Everybody that has auditioned my unit has been impressed, including Steve Rothermel, designer of the Ridge Street Audio Sason loudspeake... | |

| technics 1200 cartridge and preamp choices If you want to go the Ortofon way I suggest the X5 MC. It is a 'high' output MC ( 2.5 mV) with very good ( but not excellent) trackability. The tonearm damper helps a lot bringing its resonance frequency in range and improving trackability.The X5'... |
