| MC cartridge rebuild I would send it to Linn, unless you know who they send it to, and can guarantee that they will give you the same specs as they do for Linn. I don't know who they send them to. Troika is a very good cartridge. | |
| Source for Variac Mouser Electronics is one place. | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Seandtaylor, I would respond to your question in this manner. Since I have no solid engineering proof of this phenomenon, I can't answer in terms of data. But I can point to the several posts on this thread where listeners who did not believe in b... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction If we could measure the "break-in" factor by some electronic means, then everyone would believe it, right? The main argument here, that I see, is that if there is no measured quantification of this phonomenon, then it is some sort of "psychologica... | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. Judit, as we know, there are proper applications for different coin denominations. Obviously you are aware of this, and I was simply mentioning my use of the 25 cent application. However, I would never be "nouveau riche" enough to use 25 cent mode... | |
| What active preamp... Marakanetz, I have found that using Argent Room Lens clones between my speakers has eliminated the problem that is normally caused by having the equipment between the speakers. This is very easy and cheap to try. Instructions for them are on the J... | |
| Tubes & Digital - Is There A Link? Personally, I think that although the inclusion of certain tube circuitry in the system may possibly soften the digital sound, there is no way that a problem in the source can be improved by the downstream components. If the problem is not correct... | |
| Best Way to Use Turntable with System Cabinet Peter, the very best stand that you could buy for your Linn LP12, is the Sound Organisation TT stand, that used to cost about $125. Don't know what it costs now. It is a very plain stand made from square section steel tubing, that has almost a cub... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Art Garfunkel's version of "I Only Have Eyes for You" written by Neil Sedaka. Also Joni Mitchell's "All I Want". I also agree with many of the above. | |
| Tonearm Cable Question If you are going to re-wire the phono cable, it is best to do the entire job, from headshell to RCA plugs, all in one run. As Viridian says, breaks in the tonearm cable are bad. There are a number of companies that make full re-wire kits that have... | |
| Newbie Question: VTA and Rega P25/RB600 Oh well! And not one of us even suspected that. Glad you got it working. | |
| Have anyone pics and tech-data for a SU-1 step-up? Well, Paul? Is it really what they say it is? Is it better than a Cotter, or Audio Note? C'mon now, you can't leave us hanging on this one! We must know. | |
| To preamp or not to preamp?...that is the question Zaikesman, I agree. I have made this test with both phono and CD, with my highly modified MFA Magus preamp. There is no doubt that using, in my case, the tape outputs, which bypassed the attenuators and line stage main output, was much more detail... | |
| Best Way to Use Turntable with System Cabinet Yes, Peter, the TT optimally should have its own stand, that is correctly designed for that type of TT. However, I often encounter situations such as yours where the person cannot accomodate the optimal arrangement. The answer here, is that you wi... | |
| Best Way to Use Turntable with System Cabinet Cabinets and racks degrade the peformance of all types of turntables. They generally are not light and rigid enough for suspended TT's, and not heavy or rigid enough for mass-loaded TT's. Neither fish nor fowl. A lightweight rigid stand like the S... |
