| Most demanding passages for a turntable & system I also use Sheffield's Drum Record, especially the side with Jim Keltner. Compare your listening experience with that of the liner notes. If your system doesn't match up, then, your system has a weakness.I also play Mozart's 2 piano concerto. If I... | |
| How do you tame a Denon DL-S1? CFLUX, I only tried 2 of the settings on my Jasmine with the DL-S1 (50 ohms and 100 ohms). I prefer the setting of 100 ohms. It is very clean and open sounding. There is no gain setting on my Jasmine 2.0. | |
| Which part of my turntable system should I upgrade Toxicwaterfront, I have a Sony PS-X7 that I might plan on selling. You can read the reviews of the deck on the Vintage Knob and Vinyl Engine. Speed is rock solid and I have made upgrades to silver/OFC for the interconnects and headshell wires. | |
| Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan Does anyone have a direct source in Japan for purchasing Denon cartridges for less than Comet Supply? If so, please provide source. | |
| has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 The improvement that the Jantzen Superior z-caps made to the phono also accomplished a similar feat when I replaced the coupling caps on my speakers for the tweeters. It cost a few hundred dollars. But it was a marked improvement. | |
| has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 Dear Nandric, I am pleased you gave the Janzten Superior z-caps a try and provided the feedback. The silly thing is the enormous performance upgrade for 25. The Jasmine is a real gem. I wish you all the best. | |
| VPI CLASSIC 3 PLATTER I use Wenol (pronounced veenol) on aluminum, brass, copper, steel, cast iron. The results provide a high-polished finish with little effort. Even with handling, oxidation is slower to return than with other polishes that I have used. | |
| Galibier Teres Redpoint tape drive "LENGTH"? Here is a method for increasing tape traction without increasing lateral forces on the motor's pulley http://www.AudioAsylum.com/cgi/vt.mpl?f=vinyl&m=1049866. | |
| What brand did you leave Rega for? I upgraded to a used VPI TNT from Rega 3. The sound reproduction was dramatically more accurate. Though, I now have a vintage DD Luxman PD121 with a replacement mat (TTweights), and a maple arm board. The vintage DDs are very precise when it comes... | |
| has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 I have the older Jasmine and I have to place my ear about a foot away to hear a faint hum. When I retreat a few feet it is quiet. | |
| Upgrades or a different table? If you listen to classical music, speed stability and striking 33.3 rmp is most important. Look to the classic Japanese DD of the late 70s 80s. If you can afford new prices, look at Brinkman.When using older TTs with rubber mats, replace them with... | |
| Turntable Swamp. . .what to buy? Unipivots require a little more patience when setting up. However, the simplicity in design pays off (one point of contact versus multiple for gimbaled arms).I have used Hadcock, Mayware, and VPI JMW unipivot arms. All 3 have reproduced music exce... | |
| New cart for under 1K David, Do research the DL-S1 on Audio Asylum, as well as here. This is a very fine cartridge: True sound reproduction that gets the fine texture of instruments, and vocals. I listen primarily to classical music which is much more demanding of a TT... | |
| New cart for under 1K I recommend a Denon DL-S1 (Under $600 from Comet Supply or $800 from Galen Carol). I use it with a VPI 12.5 JMW and I have Focal Utopia Orca-Designed speakers. My hearing is very sensitive to high frequency sibilance.Sibilance can come from variou... | |
| phono stage with two inputs The new Jasmine LP 2.5DU has 2 inputs and handles MM and MC. I have one of their earlier models and it is stellar at reproducing music. You can purchase through Ebay or Amazon for around $500plus.Do a little research on the web for others reviews.... |
