| Phono Preamp Needs What's the cartridge output? | |
| Shelter 501 or Denon 103 with SME - Anyone tried ? Blcube, the price of the Shelter 501 is about $800 in the US, although up till recently you could get it cheaper from EIFL in Japan. I just checked EIFL's website and they now list it at $750 plus overseas shipping, so there is no reason to order ... | |
| Shelter 501 or Denon 103 with SME - Anyone tried ? I know that Audiogon member Ethannn has used a Shelter 501 on his SME 309, and had good results. Thorsten Loesch from TNT audio uses an older SME 309 with his Denon 103 and he likes it quite well. | |
| 2000 for turntable and arm..... I bet everyone here knows what I am about to say. The Teres 135 with Origin Live OL-1 arm(modded RB250), and a Denon DL103R(low-output MC). That puts you at slightly over $2k with everything including cartridge. Assuming your phono stage has a MC ... | |
| MC Vs MM - apologize for the stupid question Allright, I guess it's technical time. There are several types of cartridges, with MM(moving magnet), MC(moving coil) leading the pack. Some others are MI(moving iron, or variable reluctance) which is most popularly used by Grado, strain gage(used... | |
| Review: Rogue Audio 99 Tube preamp Did you like it better than your other preamps listed? | |
| Clearaudio MAGIX Magnetic Isolators ? I would be very concerned about placing high-powered magnets very close to my sensitive audio circuits. | |
| Getting married, and I need to redo system.. ?'s.. Congratulations Charles. I recommend keeping a copy of this page for your files. And then you can look at it in 5 years, and see whether you did what you wanted, or are listening to a Bose shelf system. Remember, women consider their men to be a "... | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? Consttraveler, if you can find a used Cotter Mk2, that would be your best bet, but they are sometimes too expensive due to demand. Alternatives are a Peerless, or Jensen, or more expensive ones like Audio Note, Shelter, or ET SU-1. Or a head amp l... | |
| 300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A Tom, just for reference, did you listen to Lowthers that were 1 year old or more? There have been major changes to the Lowther drivers in this past year. The model names remained the same. They have rolled the suspension surround inwards for smoot... | |
| which cartridge to buy? so many... An Audio Note IQ-2 is a OEM version of the Goldring 1042, and can usually be found for less than the Goldring. If you could find a inexpensive step-up transformer for around $100 or less, you could get a Denon DL103R low-output MC cartridge, and r... | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? Mamba, I don't think you are entirely correct about the step up transformer thing. We don't like semiconductors in our signal paths. About the lack of knowledge part, maybe you should discuss this with Kondo, who specifies only step up transformer... | |
| OK.......I need more info on the Shelter 901...... Frank, don't worry, it'll be fine on an SME V. | |
| 300B Speakers, Reynaud & Reference 3A How about a set of Lowther driver Lammhorns? About 100db efficient, and works great with 300B. No front loaded horn, only back loaded for bass augmentation. Great sound. No crossover. About $5k new. | |
| Amp/Preamp Synergy for 6K Used I'd go with a Supratek Syrah preamp and a Berning ZH270 amp. That gives you a super phono stage which can handle just about any low output MC cartridge, from .2mv and up, and beautiful 6SN7 based line stage. Couple that with the speed and transpar... |
