| Is the Dynavector DV 10x5 as good as they Say? It is a decent cartridge, but its list price in the US is way too high. If you buy it directly from Asian importer for around $200 - that's a different story. | |
| Grado Statement How Much Better Than The Referenc In my opinion, in audio world starting with certain price doubling of it would not double the outcome of sound quality. However, I own the Statement and I do consider it one of the best carts that I ever owned. | |
| Ear 834P and Dynavector p-75 I never tried p-75, but 834P is a very good match for Kontrapunkt B as long as you are not using EARs step-up. | |
| Rotel 1072: Deserving of product of the year? Decent player for the money, but I would not give it a "Product of the year" unless the year was REALLY uneventful... | |
| sample rate conversion quality issues Not that easy, Paul. It really depends on the equipment (algorythms) used during any type of conversion. With inferior equipment all benefits of recording with higher resolution would not just be lost, but the resulting 16/44 would be actually wor... | |
| EAR 834 vs. Monolithic with HC power supply EAR. Even without modifications it is in different league, and if you modify it (nothing difficult, anyone can do it!) it will be VERY hard to beat at any price. | |
| How far can I run a signal from a Cartridge. Phono cable should be as short as possible. Though with high output cartridge one can theoretically have longer run, it still is not a good idea. I would avoid going 10 feet unless absolutely necessary, but then you have to understand that you wil... | |
| Opinions on the best transport of 1k?? Dawkimi, can you confirm this information? Thank you. | |
| Musichall 2.1 or Project 1.2? An this price I would probably consider going second hand. Both MH and PJ are built with a lot of shortcomings and will force you into upgrading in no time at all. | |
| Rega or VPI One has to be very careful with AC generators. Most of them are VERY bad and don't generate "clean" power they claim they do. Just look at their output on oscilloscope. I did, and will never recommend one unless I really hate person I am recommend... | |
| Rega or VPI Jdodmead,Ask yourself - what is it that you don't like about your MMF so much that you are willing to pay a premium? Maybe after you find the answer your search will be easier? | |
| Is the Ortofon Kontrapunkt A compatible with MMF-7 Kontrapunkt needs much heavier arm. | |
| Quiet,cheap table: under $500 new or used.... If you need quiet reliable table you should consider Technics SL-1200. It would last forever, it is simple and fully adjustable. | |
| Good Phono Pre-Amps...$500 to $1500 EAR834P | |
| Back into vinyl - part 1 libellule11@comcast.net, I own three cartridges - Grado Statement, Ortofon Kontrapunkt B and Rega Exact. Because of using RB600 I was only playing Grado, but now that I am looking into switching to Technics arm, I will be using all three of them, ... |
