| Good moving magnet or cheap moving coil What kind of arm is on the Linn? If it is an Ekos or Ittok, you can use a Denon DL103 MC cart(low output) that will blow the BPS out of the water. If you have some other arm, then the Dynavector 10x4 MkII is a very good high output MC that will wo... | |
| Woofer pumping - what gives? Mwilson, could a "wubba-wubba feedback loop" also be termed a "dubba wubba-wubba"? | |
| Rega vs. Moth? From everything I have heard, the Moth and Rega arms are identical on a model for model basis. Rega supplies OEM arms to many of the other TT makers as well.Regarding the arm upgrade to your P3, are you considering an RB 900, as it sounds like in ... | |
| Why vinyl? I was the happiest person in the world this week when I sold my CD player. Now I can only play vinyl. And that's all I want to play, because when I put my CD player on, it sounded like it was broken in comparison to my TT. I will never buy another... | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning Hey Tubegroover, Nice Tubes! I just thought that I would pass along my "glare" info. I don't have a 270, so I was sort of just "extrapolating" the PP Microzotl circuit to the PP zh270 circuit. However, I did get a much better midrange smoothness w... | |
| NOS Tubes make a Huge difference My experience has been that JAN Phillips 12AT7's have glare. If you replace them with NOS Mullard 6201 Gold Pins, you should get even better sound. | |
| Leveling spikes for speakers If the spikes wobble, but there is a decent amount of threaded shaft left in the hole, you can stop the wobble by taking the spike out completely and adding a couple of flat washers that will take up the space. This will allow a snug tightening of... | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning If your ZH270 currently has the JAN Phillips 12AT7 tubes in it, I would try to change them to NOS Mullard 6201 Gold Pins($35 each from Upscale Audio). In my MicroZOTL these JAN Phillips 12AT7's were the primary cause of the tube glare. I just look... | |
| Problems getting the best out of my Berning You need to get some NOS tubes. I have a MicroZOTL and I had the same problem with tube glare. The manufacturers cannot use NOS tubes in a production unit, because there is no guarantee of availability of the right tubes at any given time, and the... | |
| Audiogoners Anonymous? I've got it bad. I need a 12 step program, but I am in denial. I just bought another DL103R cartridge, as a spare. And the one I already have only has 100 hours on it. I press the refresh button every few minutes to see if another new forum post a... | |
| Using a tube amp with a Solid State preamp It depends on what kind of speakers you are going to use. If you have some kind of speaker that is not going to be tube friendly, like dropping under 4 ohms, then you will gain better stability, bass damping, and slam with the SS amp. If your spea... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Well Basement, that sounds like the yoke, which would be the piece that holds the suspension donut.About reproducing the warp, if the cartridge is held properly in place, and is doing what it is supposed to do, it will reproduce anything that exci... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Yes, Basement I am beginning to get your drift. The stylus/cantilever must move in order for a signal to be generated. Simply having the cantilever out of line, doesn't necessarily generate a signal. But if it is out of line, then when a signal is... | |
| Help Total Confusion I have my equipment between my speakers, set back about 2 feet, and I have put a DIY Argent room lens, centered between the speakers, just a few inches in front of the equipment, as Elgordo says, and my soundstage and image focus is awesome. I als... | |
| Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long Yes, there is a difference in cantilver speed, depending on the frequency of the "bumps" in the groove that it is trying to trace. Larger amplitude bumps, in the lower frequencies, require faster velocity than the smaller "bumps" in the high frequ... |
