| Please evaluate my system... I’m on my way over to your place now. The only way I can tell is to hear it. ;^)And I'll be glad to remove any component that detracts from the others. ;^) ;^) | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C Ok. Cardas responded that their Clear 4x24 is 16 pF/ft giving me 52.5 pF from the arm base to the PII. That most closely aligns with J. Carr’s first example at 32 pF. (Thanks @almarg , http://www.whatsbestforum.com/showthread.php?15077-Cartridge-L... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C Hanna only states a lower limit of 400 Ohms and Denon a lower limit of 100 Ohms for the DL-301 mkII. No upper limits given. Yesterday I listened to Garcia's Run for the Roses, I have a white label copy that I haven't played much so it's in great s... | |
| Audiophile LP's I'm always on the lookout for great vinyl, ever since I found MFSL's Dark Side of the Moon. But it's been tough finding Rock, R&B, Folk; etc, music That is both well recorded and worthy of higher resolution. The content has to have some micro-... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C @catcher10, Why 475 Ohms? Why not 1000?BTW, I have no report on 100K yet. Too much new digital music to listen to at the moment. | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C To get started with LOMCs I first bought a Schiit Mani, then upgraded to an Emotiva XPS-1 and now the Phonomena, so that is the extent of my experience with MC phono stages. I will say that in my opinion the MM section of my Nakamichi Receiver 2 b... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C @cather10 Thanks for the encouragement. I like the PII very much and think I will live with it at least until I upgrade my tonearm. I had been running the Hana at 475 Ohms and 56 dB until I read this thread this morning. Then I put on the cans and... | |
| Cartridge Loading- Low output M/C I am using a humble Musical Surroundings Phonomena II. My daily driver is a Hana SL mounted on a Sumiko Premier MMT with continuous wiring to the RCAs; ergo shorter or lower capacitance cable is not an easy option. The integrated is a Primare I32 ... | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... @supertweak, Do you really walk backwards on windy days???? Is that something I should have been doing??? I never got that memo.@mr_m , didn't they ask you who your favorite Packer was? Or beer?I thought this was a thread for levity. Am I wrong to... | |
| SACD Out of 350 discs I have 42 with layers that won't play on a red book only CD player. (That number may go up sharply now that I've found Dutton Vocalion, who sells SACDs for $20 here https://www.duttonvocalion.co.uk/ and on Amazon) Of those 42 ther... | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps Another new-for-me discovery, Eileen Rose:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UL4e6KK5kfoAnd Margo Timmins has released her own album that showcases her voice more prominently than most Cowboy Junkies efforts:https://www.soundike.com/r2134372-margo-ti... | |
| BaerWald vs VPI setup protractors @cleeds " I couldn't disagree more, and have long thought the cause of many complaints about LP playback are rooted in improper setup."Actually, you could disagree more. What if your opinion was to use a T-square or a ball-peen hammer? (a little ... | |
| What component to hang on to? I agree, @simao , that the Oppo will be very, very hard to replace at a decent price; so I'd keep it; especially if yuo have a nice SADC/HDCD/DVD-A collection.I don't know how acute your need for capital is; but it seems there is much demand for t... | |

| Wow moments while listening to vinyl records Thanks @tubegroover . This is only the tip of the iceberg. I've got 40 songs I'm collecting versions of.I have nothing by Preston (unless there's an old Music Man in my parent's box); but I did see him on Broadway in 1976 in Sly Fox. Hilarious!I c... |
