| Which turntable Rega, Pro-ject or Clearaudio Johnny rocks! | |
| Which turntable Rega, Pro-ject or Clearaudio Technics SL1200 or SL1210. Do a search here and on Vinyl Asylum for opinions and visit the KAB USA website for nice upgrades. | |
| Review: Ortofon OM-5e Cartridge Do a search on Vinyl Asylum, it is kind of the pet cartridge over there. Enough ink has been spilled on it to fill the Ganges.Marty | |
| Review: Ortofon OM-5e Cartridge Petsound, thanks so much for all of the fantastic insight. I just wanted to point out to readers that the AT440ML has a rather pronounced peak at 12K and IS NOT the same as the AT440MLa, which is very nicely controlled in this area. I would not re... | |
| Review: Ortofon OM-5e Cartridge The Audio Technica AT440MLa seems to be the class leader in the under $100.00 price range, and the AT120 for under $55.00. They both are more refined, with better detail and dynamics than either the M97xE or OM-10 - I have not heard the cartridge ... | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge JohnnyB, yes I think that the motor is the same in all of the basic Grados, as it is with the Ortofon OM series. I think that Ortofon have carried this through to their new MM line the Red, Blue and Black.This makes a lot of sense to me, provided ... | |
| Reference level playback Hey Bob, that's pretty interesting as I only drive my car at 28 miles per hour. That way, I don't miss reading any signs or adverts, I pretty much get the best mileage and when I run over a pedestrian I can see them clearly in the rear view mirror... | |
| Is a Quad 44/ 405-2 amp tube sounding? No, not in the least. Try an Audio Refinement integrated for around the same money for a tubier sound, or maybe real tube gear. | |
| Is There Greener Grass For Me? David, you don't want the greener grass, it's too wet and won't burn well. Dry it out until it becomes darker in color, more like a brownish green. It will then be optimal and make your whole rig sound much better.Marty | |
| Significance of different components of audio ... For me, preamp would go into critical, speakers to important. | |
| Record wear Pbb, good to hear from you. This is the first time that I have been told that I am a member of a cult, but I kind of like it. The shoe fits me; I think that I'll wear it! Pass the Cool-Aid it can only make the Doors sound better. | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge Johnny B, close, but not exactly correct. The Grados do have, at least, different cantilevers, but they do select the better performing cartridge from a pair. In other words, the Gold is the better Silver, the Red is the better Blue, the Green is ... | |
| Record wear Empire did some tests several years back and played a test record with frequency sweeps 600 times with an Empire cartridge tracking at 2 grams. There was less than 1db variation at any frequency between the first and last play. Additionally, micro... | |
| Remastered "Born to Run" on vinyl? CBS Mastersound also released a half-speed mastered domestic pressing. | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge I did want to make it clear that I was not denigrating the cartridge, merely pointing out its lineage. I have heard neither the Pearl nor the 201. The Pearl has the same output, but also has a bonded elliptical stylus. I have no idea if there are,... |
