| Shure V15--A Good Cartridge? The Shure is not particularly arm sensitive, but is very VTA sensitive. It mates well with the REGA arm as well as the Audioquest. Many older arms also match well such as the SME3, Sumiko MMT and FT-3 and even the old unipivots, Mayware, Hadcock, ... | |
| Why no analogue at Audioreview.com ??? Don't confuse entertainment with substance. Wow, gee, I can be an audio reviewer just like H.P. Hey, everyone deserves their fifteen minutes of fame no matter how banal. You wouldn't make buying decisions based on this stuff, would you? | |
| Cartridge suggestion needed for a Dual 604 The inexpensive Grado cartridges are a fine match for the Dual. $200.00 is a but much to spend for a cartridge for this player unless you plan to upgrade it in the near future. $60.00 to $120.00 should get the most out of your current rig. If you ... | |
| help guy backs out of a sale after m.o. is iss Audiogon allows feedback once money has changed hands. Once you sent the money order money had changed hands. Please leave the appropriate negative feedback to prevent this happening to others. | |
| Sonic Frontiers Dying? They were bought by Paradigm and there seems to be a bit less synergy between the manufacturer of high-value loudspeakers and the high end line of tube electronics than one might think. I believe that some of the Anthem products are being made on ... | |
| How to Match Levels? The SLM idea won't work. You need to run the sources into a preamp and monitor the output of the preamp with a volt meter using a 1K test tone. The volume control on the preamp can be used to match the levels. This is a drastically more accurate m... | |
| Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits The LP is marvelous, try the Quiex pressing. | |
| Help setting up cartridge VTA My experience with the Grado cartridges is that they too sound best with slight negative VTA. | |
| 750 or so -- B&W 602, Vandersteen 1C, or...? Take a listen to the Paradim Studio 20 loudspeakers, a very different set of tradeoffs than the excellent Vandys. | |
| Shure V15--A Good Cartridge? On another note, the Shures come with setup instructions that would embarass the shoddy setup sheets that come with most high end cartridges. My Koetsu basically came with no instructions at all. I agree with Sdcampbell that this is a very good se... | |
| Help setting up cartridge VTA I agree that VTA/SRA should be set by ear. In the broadest sense the idea of raising the tonearm post to increase attack and lowering it to make the sound smoother is correct, however I listen for different things than the other posts. First, when... | |
| When the Power Tubes Run Out N.O.S. tube supply here in Portland, OR is excellent with electronics salvage dealers selling Mullard, Tele and Amperex small signal tubes,12Ax7, 12AT7, 12AU7, for as little as $3.50 each. Power tubes are less plentiful but good examples of EL-34,... | |
| Not a question, but a revelation The system must be very quiet without loudspeakers. | |
| After leaving my system on for 3 days... You seem to have a very well balanced system. I would agree that the interconnects are the problem. Try some MIT or TARA to tame that high end. Also, take the tuner off of the CD player. If all else fails, your speakers are on the bright side so t... |
