| Recommendations for used/vintage integrated for vinyl Naim Nait 2 or 3, Onix OA21 or 22, Exposure XV, all better than vintage Japanese mid fi, IMHO. | |
| Does anyone know where I can get a turntable platter machined to my specs Audio Asylum member InDaGroove machines the platters for one one of the finest bespoke turntables made. His name is Colby and you can contact him through the asylum.he has done work for me and I have been to his shop. Highly recommended. | |
| Jumper Cables - use the stock or should they be upgraded ? Yes, absolutely replace the manufacturers jumpers, especially if they are those uninsulated bars.I can also recommend trying to connect the positive lead from your speaker cable to the positive lead on the tweeter terminal and the negative speaker... | |
| Is hybrid power amp the way to go ? The way to go where? | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! Ihor, if you wish to buy $100.00 Scotch tap you will need to contact Peter Belt not Geoff. | |
| linn catridge The original Linn MM cartridges were made by Audio Technica and I believe the current ones by Goldring, so those would be a good place to start. | |
| Hype, Hyperbole and high price! I love any thread where Al quotes himself. At any rate the OP may be a great engineer but fails to make a coherent point. He makes three basic observations in his original post. That sonic differences in cables are not supported by scientific evid... | |
| Your not a serious audiophile I'd you have?????? You're not an audiophile if your music collection is not littered with Diana Krall, Jane Monheit, Norah Jones, Pat Barber and Jennifer Warnes.Alternately, you are not an audiophile if the amount of software you own exceeds the amount of components... | |
| Sopra N°2 The Sopras are the first Focals voiced on Naim gear, since Focal took over Naim. You owe it to yourself to listen to these on Naim gear, either a 500 or Statement amp. | |
| Best cartridge for a Thorens TD-160 turntable (must mount from bottom up) No, the Verso will not work. Have a look at photos of it. It has screws built into the top of the cartridge on the assumption that you will put bolts onto them from above. The screwy Thorens actually requires that the bolts screw into the headshel... | |
| Best cartridge for a Thorens TD-160 turntable (must mount from bottom up) It doesn't always translate to better sound quality, but the 120 is technically superior to the 2M Red in that it has a nude mounted stylus, whereas the Red had a bonded stylus. The lower moving mass of a nude mounted stylus and the generally bett... | |
| Best cartridge for a Thorens TD-160 turntable (must mount from bottom up) If you bought the AT120E (not L) you have a great cartridge. The ML in MLb stands for Micro Line - the radical cut of the stylus, as opposed to elliptical, as in the 120E, or conical - and the b stands for the third iteriation of the cartridge as ... | |
| Best cartridge for a Thorens TD-160 turntable (must mount from bottom up) You need a high compliance cartridge for that arm. I’m thinking Audio Technica AT440 MLb or if you can use an MC then Denon DL301. You might be able to get away with a Nagaoka MP150, but the compliance is a bit lower. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Astor Piazzola, "Tristeza De Un Double 'A'". | |
| "Epic" compositions worth giving a spin I am working my way through the symphonies of Sir Arnold Bax on the Lyrita label. They certainly qualify! |
