New Cart? Best all around performer...MM or HO
I had a Sumiko BPS EVO and I replaced it with the new Micro ridge version Dyna 20XH.I liked the EVO, especially for the $$ spent.But the Dyna simply has it all over the EVO in every way. I honestly can`t come up with a single area where the EVO mi... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
I beat the bushes looking for one of those NOS cartridges to no avail except one place had the EDR.9 for something like $270.00. I`ve moved on to a Dynavector DV-20XH new design with the threaded body and Micro-Ridge stylus, so far this cartridge...

Piedpiper,thanks for the suggestion. The thing is, the Empires were doing well against much more expensive models up to $8000!!! Amazing For what they allow for trade in towards another Sumiko it looks like I`d be further ahead with a Denon DL 160...

Very interesting thread. My BPS EVO III is non-functional and I`m searching for another cartridge.Unfortunately the Empires are no longer available. That`s a shame, the 750 LTD looked like something I would have given a go at...oh well.Any other l... 
DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129

DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129
Restock..you mentioned "...overdrive the Bellari" what would that mean?Would it make it hyper-sensitive, like way too loud right off?What or how much is the EVO III putting out after the Bellari using your math and how would that equate to the Den... 
DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129
It`s my understanding that the Bellari has 30 db in it. What would the 1:36 version do with the low output 103s?No way that can work with what I have now?I`m using a 270 watt Behringer EP1500, it has adjustable control knobs for left/right on the ...

Thanks Guys...I might give it a go! 
Looking for a non-powered sub
Gallant, my room is only 14' x 18' with 9' ceilings. Dipole subs might be pushing it don`t you think?Java..No interest in wood working, but a put-together kit is interesting. I`m leaning to the VMPS especially if they can be had in kit form.In the... 
Looking for a non-powered sub
I do have an amp that I want to use. It`s a Behringer EP1500.I`m led to believe that to blend in a planar well, some outboard devices might do an overall better job.Problem is, I don`t know what all I`ll need,and keeping the cost on the lower side... 
Looking for a non-powered sub
Thanks, I`ll look into that.Any $500-800 DIY subs out there that can compete with the better known commercially available ones? 
Magnepan MG 10 QR
I have a PS Audio HCA-2 amp so that should be ok, right?So $700 is too much ? Do you think I`d be better off moving on to a set of MG 12`s instead?
