| Cartridge dilemma A vote for the Zu Denon 103 | |
| Cartridge dilemma Great advice from Jmc. Excellent answer. A few weeks ago a friend and I did a cartridge shoot out using a Rega P9 and a pimped out P25. Cartridges on audition were:Dynavector 20XL2Ortofon BlackDenon 103RDynavector XV-1Benz Wood L2Neither one of us... | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b Hammerite or hammertone paint, it's a type of finish that looks like the paint has been hammered. All of the ancient gear used this finish. It comes in rattle cans at all of the usual places, Target, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. It's nice because it wi... | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b Drew it's "viridian", with three "i"s. Good luck with the build, it should be very, very easy. I would appreciate you getting back with your impressions, either in this thread or e-mail me off board. The Goldpoint is a beautiful control and a grea... | |
| rewiring preamp will it work I would simply use a buffer on one, or both, of the outputs if impedance is an issue. There's always more than one way to skin a cat.Kal, I believe that would obviate your concens about overloading, or causing an impedance mismatch, with the outpu... | |
| rewiring preamp will it work Ron:There's an easier way. There are splitters that have one male RCA to two female RCA. You can either buy the type that is a little solid adaptor: http://www.amazon.com/Gold-Male-Right-Angle-Female/dp/B0002KRCU4or get the type that has a little ... | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b Drew, I want to build that one as well. It seems like the perfect balance of cool looks, functionality, and cost. While you are waiting, you might just want to order some upgraded signal caps, the power supply caps are great as they come from the ... | |
| Amp issue, terminal or simple? Radio Shack carries a cleaner/lubricant spray. As James said, remove the cover and spray this into the switch, with the power cord disconnected from the wall. While it is wet, operate the switch serveral times and allow it to dry, reconnect it, an... | |
| How Important is power conditioning if you have If everyone's hearing was the same, then we wouldn't need 100 different brands of amps and a gazillion different speakers. If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money. We all have different thresholds for this stuff and then we weight i... | |
| Most important vinyl component to upgrade first ? I vote for #1, not that you put the darn thing up for a vote. You haven't even tried the, most excellent, SMEV yet. Get it set up and just make a bargain with yourself that you will work to optimize the setup and not buy any more audio for some pe... | |
| Opinion on Elekit 8300 300b Drew, just another shout out. I have rebuilt four Bottlehead kits and I am on my fifth, the discontinued Foreplay III extended. To my surprise, I had a problem with the power supply that I could not debug. I have been wrestling with it for three w... | |
| Comet Supply stop selling carts???? Excellent - happy listening! Enjoy your new Denon. | |
| Most important vinyl component to upgrade first ? I take a very different tack, that of a music lover, not an audiophile, and that is to upgrade your collection of software before anything else.That said, the cartridge/tonearm interface is really an area of black magic and it is worth doing whate... | |
| Comet Supply stop selling carts???? This Comet Supply:http://www.cometsupply.com/?mn=DENONmaybe you've got the wrong one.Just for informations sake, there is no such thing as a Denon 310 MKII cartridge, so that might be part of the problem. | |
| Connecting 2 sets of speakers to a tube amp Al, absolutely correct, and those are the issues that result in us generally not seeing series connected speakers, even of the same impedance, in high fidelity applications, but it's certainly worth a try as it is the only solution that will prese... |
