| Celebration vs Blackbird Hi there, sounds like your pretty happy with your setup, congrats!Here is the review on the Celebration:http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0402/sumikocelebration.htmI guess I'm kinda wondering whether it is worth the substantial inves... | |
| Thoughts On The PMC OB1? Dodgealum, I looked seriously into the PMC OB1's at one time and did some auditioning. Cinematic is correct in his statement regarding amplification, they need big power, big solid state power to get the best. I have a 250 ARC amp and would certai... | |
| Replacing caps in Audio Research, help This is true Bill, and I think it's worth a try however there really isn't anyone local that I can find who work on tube gear. I'll keep checking as I'm sure that you are correct.I thought that if it wasn't too big a deal I'd just do it anyway to ... | |
| Replacing caps in Audio Research, help No I didn't check with the factory as I don't really want to ship the beast. Also the factory seems to be REALLY expensive when it comes to retubing so I am assuming the same for an overhaul.Jeffrey, I'll try and get a photocopy of a schematic and... | |
| importance of phono cartridge Good point Dan! I for one find it's REALLY important as my table is non suspension.Regards... | |
| importance of phono cartridge reading this thread makes me believe that the STAND is the most important part of analog playback! Surely if everything said here regarding the turntable as being the platform that supports the arm/cart to do their job, then the stand must be even... | |
| Thinking of jumping to analog...which turntable? Raul, you really like that Celebration a lot! How would you compare it to the Dynavector in terms of tracking ability!Sorry to sidetrack this thread for just a bit. It's also nice to hear from an audiophile who has my same opinion on getting into ... | |
| Good match for Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm? If you've done some searching on the ETII tonearm you will probably see a lot of threads started by myself.I've had the arm for about 9 years and seem to learn more about it all the time. I have now heard A LOT of arm/table combo's and I can say t... | |
| Sibilance -- that last little bit... I think Seandtaylor99 said it best as being end of the record groove noise. I've recently gone through this myself and questioned my setup. I worked like the dickens to get it better and aligned better and low and behold my records now sound great... | |
| Thinking of jumping to analog...which turntable? I think the main question here is "how many records do you already own?"If not many, I would seriously consider NOT getting into analog at all. It's wonderfull that there is so much used vinyl available at this time but a lot of it is worn and new... | |
| Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2? I just found out the XX-2 is available in a .5 output from VPI. So now I need to find some comparison of the XX-2 and Celebration. | |
| Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2? Great question bobby23, I don't think that too little would damage anything it just wouldn't have enough signal to play loud enough to enjoy, I could be wrong here. | |
| Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2? Thanks Raul, thats a very positive note from "The Cartridge Man" great system by the way.I like the looks of this cartridge but am concerned about detial retrieval as it doesn't use the popular Line Contact stylus. Also it isn't as low a complianc... | |
| Is 57db gain enough for Dynavector XX-2? Thanks for chimming in with your responses. I completely forgot about tube rush however I think it's really quiet now. I mentioned in another post that I am also looking into the Sumiko Celebration as an alternative althought it has more complianc... | |
| $6-7k to Spend on Turntable I have a new TNTjr with a MK6 platter on a REALLY solid foundation. It sounds excellent, so much so that I'm not sure whether it's worth getting the dual motor setup or peripehry ring. I've had a good listen to the HRX and it IS slightly better bu... |
