| New cart, step-up or ??? There is a Black Head step-up transformer that is currently on Audiogon for, I think, $265.00. It is a good piece. I have no association with the seller. | |
| Best pressings of classic rock/pop recordings Most of these are great music, but don't have very good sound by audiophile standards, all the more reason to listen to these greats, IMHO. Most of the CBS Mastersound Half-Speeds are just horrible, take Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, please. On... | |
| Turntable Upgrades LOL, if you bought a Porsche 20 or 30 years ago and only put fresh oil in it, it would be in a junk yard by now. Are you called "Sputniks" because you live on another planet where things do not need maintenance? | |
| Audiogon's Audiophile Wise men, I need advice Sounds like a neat rig. You know, this whole thing is a journey, and the end of the journey is a greater appreciation of, and connection to, the beauty of music. The best place to start is if you can hear this system at the sellers house, with his... | |
| Kenwood L-02 tuner actually a unicorn My whole family are unicorns, and we are very offended by this thread. | |
| Help with AC noise please What makes you come to the conclusion that this is AC noise rather than RFI?Marty | |
| Turntable height Thanks Doug, cheers!Marty | |
| Turntable height Ohhh, wrong again. Dictionary.com says that it refers to the shoulder ligaments. Must be something to do with lifting the tonearm. | |
| Turntable height Doesn't Teres mean "earth". Obviously, the designer wanted it to be used on the ground, with no stand at all. Or perhaps it is just not the right table for LP replay in space. | |
| Turntable height If you get over 5000 feet, the air gets thin and may affect cartridge performance, as well as speaker sensitivity. But then, it would be really hard to reach the tonearm as well. | |
| Vinatge Analog Audio Cheapskate Survey ... Kenner Plug 'N Play. | |
| New cartridge, now some adjustment questions. Yes, I agree, what works, works. You may be overcoming some inherent friction in the arm itself. Seems like the case is closed. | |
| Benz Glider Series 2 with Rega table help Viridian Rocky, I knew that I could count on you! The Glider is actually a throw-in on another table that I am buying for the main rig. Do you prefer the Denon 103 to the Glider, and why?Marty | |
| New cartridge, now some adjustment questions. Doug's right; it seems like a pickle. The Shure is very high compliance, so that can probably be eliminated. Is it possible to use headphones to see if it is an acoustic feedback issue? The bass frequency makes it suspect for that. You might also ... | |
| New cartridge, now some adjustment questions. That would be it, although the other question I asked, if the table was perfectly level, will come into play here. The more important question, as posed by others, is does this happen when playing real music, or just when playing test tones? Of co... |
