| Benz help LOL, very little indeed! | |
| Benz help Bill, excuse me, I can understand Barry and Madonna, but you are not really slinging mud on Donnie, are you? I use a common deck of cards to adjust VTA. Arm parallel to the plinth doesn't mean much, though it may be a place to start, as it is the ... | |
| Benz help It still sounds normal to me, but I will risk asking the same question, once again. What arm are you using? | |
| Benz help It actually sounds quite normal to me. What is the actual distance between the bottom of the cartridge and the record surface and does the cartridge ever bottom out? And what arm are you using and what guage are you using to set the tracking force? | |
| Ethics: To what degree? To give you a parallel, what happens when your imported car is out of warranty? You pay the bill, unless there is a recall. I can't remember any high end audio recalls, though maybe there should have been some. I always tell the buyer the history ... | |
| High End Audio in Portland Oregon Feel free to contact me off board and I can get you the info that you seek.Marty | |
| Monitor Audio Made in China? I quit eating Keebler cookies because those damn non-union elves are undercutting the domestic product and promoting unfair working conditions. Ever heard of an elf with health care benefits? | |
| Audiophile turntables of the 60's and 70's The Linn Sondek is certainly the most important turntable of the '70s and, arguably, the most seminal product of the modern high end movement. It was based on Thorens first belt drive the TD150 and the AR turntable, both of which came out in the s... | |
| Unhappy with tubes so which transistor amp? Don't take delivery of the new unit, if there are problems. You have no obligation to accept a product that is not fit for the intended purchase, and I think that you could reasonably make that argument from here. | |
| denon 160, AT 150, orton 540 mk2 or Grado Sonata? I would have no qualms with E's descriptions, but to answer the question, the AT150 is the best tracker with the 540 behind it. The Denon is a good tracker and the Sonata is somewhat arm dependent. With that MC phono stage, why not use a low outpu... | |
| Tired of Expensive Speaker Cable. Alternatives? I use common household string. Great dielectric and just like the Van Den Hul cables no evil metal to get in the way of the signal. Real quiet too, just don't cut your hand on the edge of the tin can. | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Red, must be transference, as I will turn 50 next Sunday (moment of silence) and I am really starting to thin. No bald spot though, I think! | |
| Cartridge Rec's for AR EB 101 Oh, I really forgot to answer the main question, which is that I have owned the M97Xe and it is a great match to the arm, but a rather dull and warm sounding cartridge; I think that the AT440MLa for another $25.00 has more definition and clarity, ... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor You havn't really figured out marriage, have you? She is only doing that to laugh at your bald spot. | |
| Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP It's funny, when I saw him last week, at WalMart, he said that, at the time, he was really nervous and he really didn't think that it was his best performance. |
