| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout You will have to add weight to the head-shell or change the counterweight with 4g weight cartridges. Very low compliance cartridges are also not ideal although they will work. Don't confuse cartridge weight with compliance, it is the relationship ... | |
| Adding a new 20Amp outlet for my amp Have at least 2 done at the same time and get some good quality boxes. I use FIM, which I sell, but there are many good ones, Oayide, PS, etc. While these may vary in sound ANY of them represent a huge jump over hardware store boxes. Use 12 gauge ... | |
| Subwoofer guys - House curve or flat? I have mine set to start rolling off on the top end at 25 Hz so tastes differ. I suppose that is why REL calls theirs a sub bass rather than a sub woofer. | |
| Schematics I would think the proper course would be to provide them when the unit goes out of production. When I was a Meridian dealer I could not get a schematic for the 605 amps I was using but I recently requested and received one as they are no longer in... | |
| What is the best arm for a Linn Soundeck 12 I am fixing up an older Linn and am replacing the Grace 707 [which is a good match] with a Jelco 750D. Some non Linn arms will use the same cut out as Linn,check specs on Vinyl Engine. I have used the Ittok, it is a good arm. I chose the Jelco to ... | |
| Differences in sound as related to watts? You have to look at speaker efficiency as well, sound level depends on both. | |
| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout Not really a low mass arm designed for high compliance cartridges. It is about 10 grams in mass, which is about the same as the SME V and most arms of standard length and without detachable head-shells. Low mass arms have a mass of 5 grams and und... | |
| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout I used the Ortofon RED in mine, requires extra weight in headshell or lighter counterweight from VPI. | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? A review just came out in HIFICRITIC. Vary favorable, it was largely insensitive to transports, they tried several and there wasn't much difference. The best was a Meridian 200, which makes me happy as I have 2 and use them with my own DACs. How m... | |
| TW Raven 10.5" Tonearm I guess you could say Raven is giving you the bird. | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ? Here is the one I would get but be warned, it is $65 for a 2 CD set. But I would get one myself if I didn't already have it.http://cgi.ebay.com/Jazz-at-the-Pawnshop-FIM-K2HD-K2-HD-Mastering-2-CD-New_W0QQitemZ120526627789QQcmdZViewItemQQptZMusic_CD... | |
| Jazz at the Pawn Shop. Anyone know what Vol. ? I think FIM may have this, they have Three Blind Mice recordings as well. Japanese jazz recordings that are also very good. I have a couple of different LP editions and the older CD one, if you can get a premium CD that would be the way to go. A g... | |
| Cartridge Recs for Dual 1226 I would also look at the Ortofon Red. I got mine on here for $75 + $12 shipping. | |
| Toasted Pre I don't know how it ever worked at all! I assume your current is 220, I was once supplied a 220 amp by a British company who didn't know the US voltage was 110 and it would not play. So apparently you have been feeding 220 volts into a preamp that... | |
| How to set up REL Subwoofer? I cannot say what the best cable is, some are very expensive. I use 2 made by Zikhmark, who is an Audiogon member and advertises on here. Reasonable price and good quality. |
