| Can anyone suggest a good universal headshell? Bobo, don't tease me man. Zaikes, I have two of the later model, one piece Technics and they are great, I was looking to see if I could squeeze a little more out, or perhaps just a different flavor. Patrick, cartridges are Denon 103D, Shure V15lll... | |
| Need advise on rack for turntable Steve, sounds like the best solution may be a wall mounted shelf. Target and Rega make commercial models, check the dimensions before commiting to a purchase decision. It would probably be easier and better looking to make your own wall shelf out ... | |
| LP Recording Distortions? John:What city are you in? Maybe some nice Audiogonner will see this and stop by to help you out. I do this here in Portland regularly. | |
| LP Recording Distortions? I think that the M44 is a much older cartridge, how long have you had it and how many hours of wear has it seen? The current Shure M97xE costs around $65.00 and is a great tracker with no sibilance at all. It may be the answer if Raul's suggestion... | |
| What is your favorite reference music? KT:You have not lived until you have heard Pat's salsa-tinged version of "Stairway To Heaven". If you rig allows you to stay in the room, then it is tuned just right. | |
| Cartridge First, realize the implications of the guidance that you are getting from those with a financial stake in your decisions. Cartridges have a much greater dealer markup than electronics or tables. For a dealer, cartridges and accessories are where t... | |
| Shure V15Vmr or Ortofon OM20 Super? Obviously, this questionis now moot, as replacement stylii are in the $200.00 plus range. | |
| What music is your system setup for? Oy vey. I set my system up to play klezmer music. This European, Yiddish folk music sounds just great on my rig but nothing else does. But I really shouldn't kvetch. | |
| What is your favorite reference music? I really like this, it shuts up the salesmen in the audio salon as well.....http://www.amazon.com/Metal-Mood-More-Mr-Nice/dp/B000005KOE/sr=8-1/qid=1167865381/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-9216901-9846019?ie=UTF8&s=music | |
| Challenges to Stereophile's Art Dudley re LP12? I would answer the same as the responses to your identical post on Vinyl Asylum. | |
| Cartridge I come from the old school, which believes that putting a cartridge on a budget table, that approaches a significant percentage of the cost of that table, is akin to putting Pirelli racing tires on an Accord. With that in mind, I would cheerfully ... | |
| Would treated CD's or OOP's-hold its value later? All kidding aside, pretty much any modification of a CD would diminish the saleability of that item in the market place. Does that mean that you can expect to get less money for it? Probably, but not necessarily. It will certainly limit the pool o... | |
| Would treated CD's or OOP's-hold its value later? Yes, just like circumcision, there is no going back. The good part is that it hurts quite a bit less. | |
| Rega P25...upgrade or replace An alternate opinion......I think that the phono preamp is, by far, the largest bottleneck in your system. You can upgrade your deck all day and I do not believe that it will materially effect the quality of the sound. The deck, while not my favor... | |
| Is this the highest price ever paid for an LP? By now everyone should know that the 155K was NOT the highest price paid for anything; the high bidder has admitted that he has "....barely enough money to pay for gas." So those of you that had your checkbooks out will get another crack at this m... |
