| Cartridge Rec's for AR EB 101 The Shure V15VMRx has not been made in over a year, so the only examples would be used or NOS. The ones that I have seen will exceed your budget. Nice alternatives are the Audio Technica AT440MLa ($89.00), Audio Technica AT150ML ($289.00), Ortofon... | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? Chad, you may find this helpful; it will allow you to identfy every Pink Floyd pressing from every country:http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PFArchives/DiscTOC.htmYa, the guy has some time on his hands. | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? Bill, I stand corrected, I have probably never heard a first press Columbia. | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? Chadnliz, the first time that I put on my British Harvest copy of "Animals" was a revelation; this is a very finely recorded album that must've gotten the bums rush in the US pressings. Search it out, it is not expensive and the sound quality is f... | |
| Born to Run: Why the Poor Sound Quality? LOL, almost all of the CBS half-speeds suck; Vlado Meller and crew had almost no idea what they were doing. Very few exceptions, the Abraxas is OK, but the frequency response on so many are completely screwed up. As the rumor goes, CBS asked MoFi ... | |
| Best MM for the money or? Hmmm....this is very tough. I would start by verifying that the tubes are quiet and have not aged. There are a lot of MC phono cartridges that run to .5 or .6mv from great makers like Koetsu, Lyra, Clearaudio, etc. That may work for you. You canno... | |
| Arm choices for Thorens TD 150 MKll AB Okay, I am looking for an older Mayware Formula 4, Hadcock or Basik, if anyone has one to sell, please contact me. | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's I left my can at Studio 54. | |
| New Cart? Best all around performer...MM or HO The Grado cartridges are available in two outputs, the 1.5mv that you mention and a 4.5mv version that will work very well with the Slee. My vote goes to the Audio Technica AT150 and spend the rest on albums. It is an unalloyed value in the market... | |
| How should you treat your tubes? Treat them with respect, they get very hot. After a long night of listening always buy them breakfast. | |
| I've Fallen in Love With My Mistress Your new mistress will be great....at least until you get that burning sensation. In the ears, of course, what did you think that I meant? Get your mind out of the gutter! | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's If you huff the glue, while it is drying, "Dark Side Of The Moon" will sync up perfectly with "The Wizard Of Oz". | |
| "Glue Cleaning" Your LP's Dusty, apt handle, will you also be using a cartridge that is marked for "experimentation" aka a cartridge that you hate?Marty | |
| Aaaargh. Please help Viridian select a new TV. Thanks for the links guys. Kenny.....OUCH! Probably cheaper and more domestically acceptable to move my couch up a tad, like within 2' of the screen. 8^0 | |
| Aaaargh. Please help Viridian select a new TV. Wow, you guys are great. Thanks for all of the guidance and advice. I must admit that I was considering a smaller set than the ones mentioned; I will have to increase the amount of real estate, and more importantly, funds alotted to this project. ... |
