| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD The Denon DL110 high output moving coil is a nice cartridge that is available for a keen price from Comet Supply and matches nicely with the kugel arm. | |
| rega white belt vs black belt speed test poll What issues are you referring to? Both belts appear to be quite accomplished in terms of speed accuracy and W&F. I imagine that the determinant of sound quality is the specta of noise that is passed from the motor to the sub platter via the be... | |
| Review: Denon 301 MK II Cartridge 60 db should be just great provided the noise floor is low. I think that you are in business. Should be a really nice combo as well, punching above its weight. | |
| Review: Denon 301 MK II Cartridge No, it will not. Get a transformer or head amp if that is the direction that you need to go. | |

| The State of Jazz Thank you for taking the time to help balance out the arguement. It must've needed balancing.Ella and Dinah were certainly popular singers working in the jazz idiom, though I wouldn't say that either defined the state of jazz for their era. That's... | |
| The State of Jazz The jazz lite vocalists, Krall, Cole, Monheit, Barber, Jones, etc. have absolutely nothing to do with the state of jazz, IMHO. They might have something to do with the state of the popular song, but the state of jazz, really? | |

| Biasing tubes/tube gear Catama, that would be wrong, a fixed bias amp has pots to adjust bias and should be checked periodically. An auto bias, or cathode bias, amp has no such controls and cannot be biased by the user. | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." It is, but, but, but..........It is not a cartridge for all seasons, which the cheap price would imply, so it is often used in less than optimized setups. It needs a very high effective mass arm, and of course a high tracking force. It won't wow y... | |
| Best mm cart for VPI scout/jmv-9 memorial arm No, that is not the only drawback to the Soundsmith, you would have the shipping costs as well as the wait time.Yes, there is a difference in the sound quality each one produces. | |
| Best mm cart for VPI scout/jmv-9 memorial arm I like that about the Ortofon 2M series as well, replacable stylus assemblies are just great. Plus they are just fantastic sounding cartridges. Monetarily though, a Bronze replacement stylus will cost you around $240.00, Soundsmith will retip the ... | |
| Best mm cart for VPI scout/jmv-9 memorial arm I believe that what seperates the VPI Zephyr from the other Soundsmith cartridges is that the compliance is tailored for the VPI unipivot arms. The Soundsmith Othello cartridge lists at $479.00, in your approximate price range. I would call Peter ... | |
| Weakest Link? Your honest opinions. SD as a lower income music lover I completely respect your position, but find myself on the other side of the fence. While the distortions of transducers are orders of magnatude greater than those of electronics, I find the distortions of electron... |
