| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge Are the Shelter cartridges the old Supex brand with a different name? | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? Aah, TWL suggests raising the VTA, Oldears suggests lowering, some think 47K and other lower. Is there any better illustration of why so few new converts are being brought into the analog fold and why so many have defected to the silver disc? | |
| Seasoned Mcintosh Fans lend me your ears & advise MC225. I have heard most of the Mac amps over the years and the rare little tube job is the best of the lot and not too expensive in the used market. | |
| Phono Preamp Help - 47K Ohms - 100 Ohms .. Huh? What you are hearing is pretty much the tradeoffs related to loading. One thing to keep in mind is that changes in loading affect the Q of the generator system and, in many cases, VTA should be readjusted to compensate. Many find loading at around... | |
| systemdek, sumiko arm, ??? cartridge Sell the Systemdek, buy a Planar3 or p3. Mount your AN arm on it, sell the stock RB300, live in analog heaven, never, never think about the Sansui again. BTW, if you do decide to sell the Systemdek down the line send me an e-mail.Marty | |
| Electronics don't matter, Part III How much did you say you wanted for that Pioneer receiver? Will you throw in the Virgos? You could downsize to Paradigm Atoms and not hear much difference either. Can you take a personal check? | |
| systemdek, sumiko arm, ??? cartridge Carl, first, I hope that you had a look at the cartridge under a high-power microscope as a magnifying glass will tell you nothing about the wear on a stylus. Second, your table, if in good condition would bring, at the very least, $175.00. Good e... | |
| The best amp or improvement for Dahlquist DQ-10's The hot mod at the time addressed the other end of the frequency spectrum. Mylar cap and dome. Mylar caps replacing the electroliytics in the crossover and a KEF T-27 dome tweeter replacing the Motorola piezo unit. The piezo always made the speake... | |
| What was your latest LP find?? John Mayall, jazz and blues fusion, British pressing $5.00 at local record store. Takes me back to when I saw him in the mid 70s at the Springfield Civic Center. Great stuff. | |
| Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"? Why can't a man be interested in the aestetic beauty of the products that he owns? I would no sooner buy ugly audio components than I would buy an ugly suit, car, or table. You may call it WAF, I call it taste. | |
| Linn or VPI No, what do you REALLY think? | |
| Dylan News It was quite an evening. After all of the opening acts (Joni Mitchell an opening act - too much), the stage darkened and the screaming with mandatory Bic lighter flames began. Singing started and it was instantly recognizable as Dylan and Baez wit... | |
| systemdek, sumiko arm, ??? cartridge TWL is correct, the Profile is the Systemdek arm. Manufactured for them in Japan by the same company that built the Sumiko, Audioquest, SOTA, AR, etc. arms. Check the bearings as these arms sometimes had a lot of slop. The Goldring would be a grea... | |
| Dylan News Ben, I saw the Rolling Thunder Review concert in Madison Square Garden and still remember it as by far the best rock concert that I have ever seen. Thanks for the tip off.Marty | |
| Linn or VPI I thought it might be nice to hear from someone on the other side of the fence. I like the way that the Linn handles the mid-bass. Yes, still a small hump and not as literal as the VPI, but more liquid and bouncy. The transition from the upper mid... |
