| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension Hi nandric &dover I’ve passed on NOS Japanese TSD 15 when I’d learned that EMT charges CFH 600 for dampers only. Yet I still need a cart for my NOS EMT 997 and EMT seems like a natural fit, especially considering shell design. I buy my analo... | |
| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension @nandric I remember reading a post in which you said that EMT TSD 15 is significantly inferior to XSD 15. Can you elaborate on it? | |
| Shelf life of EMT TSD 15 rubber suspension Yep. EMT confirmed that shelf life of old cartridges is 5 years. | |
| Retipping Denon DL S1 @chayro @toobtube @big_greg Thank you for the advice. I think I was reading somewhere that Steve had done some work on DlS1. I was reading that Soundsmith lead time has gone up quite significantly. | |
| Audio craft AC 3300 on fly VTA Mine 3300 came without the micrometer so I suspected that somebody replaced it with the base from 3000. Thank you for the center block model. This is exactly what I was looking for. | |
| PASS INT 3OA how loud does it play? Thank your for the comments guys. It works fine. I found the reason. I had a problem with the cables that I used to drive Int 30A. | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Raquel, 802D is out of my price range and I when I listened to N802 I did not find that they were much better than M802, indeed I found them a bit bright. It looks like Contour 3.3 worth trying. Are they tube compatible (if they need a loot of fee... | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Hi Kthomas,I really mean Contour II. | |
| Are Dynaudio Contour 2 any good? Hi Buff,I’m in Toronto and NC would be quite a drive for me.My listening room is not big (24'X8') but it's an open concept and so far from all speakers (Paradigm, Audio physic, Proak) that I tried only B&W M802 S2 did not sound thin. It means... | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Lngbruno,I was considering cheap transport + decent DAC combo. The problem is that the quality of the clock in the transport is the limiting factor in the performance of the combo, unless you can set DAC clock to drive the transport. Alex | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Toshiba SD 9200 was A rated by Stereophile in 2001. Its built quality is really impressive. I did a side by side comparison with Planet and Toshiba was a winner.I'm running tube pre into ss amp but I'm getting tube amp.Would Apollo be a better cho... | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Rich:You mentioned in the review of your system that Apollo is easy on ears. More relaxed and softer top is what I’m looking for in my upgrade. How does Music Hal compare with Apollo?Thanks.Alex | |
| What is the story with Rega Appolo? Guys thank you for input! I used to buy stuff from Audiogone when I lived in US. If you get things at the right price the most what you can lose is shipping fees. Now I live in Canada and every item I buy on Audiagone costs me extra 20% thanks to ... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston Rodman9999- thanks for all of your advice and suggestions. Actually SCD 777 es was one of my options. From what I found out about VTL 100 they are not switchable. It means that I need to rewire them. It should not be a big deal I need to couple an... | |
| Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston I just bought a pair of VTL 100 compact mono blocks (100 wpc in 5 Om I believe). It’s a little bit more than I need for the top and I’m not sure if I can run them in triode mode. After I try them with my speakers I will look for a new source. BAT ... |
