| What's a good beginner turntable at $2500+- range? A great beginning turntable is KAB's SL1200 mk II w/full mods. For about 1k it beats virtually everything else at twice the price. That leaves you plento of funds for a cartridge, and phono stage,RCM, supplies, plus MUSIC!. After all that's what t... | |
| How hard is it to remove the technics 1210 tonearm Write or call Kevin at KAB. Your best bet. | |
| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... My experience is that the fluid damper is a must have. My cartridge is an AT120e/t which is very forgiving however it certinately tracks and SOUNDS much better with the damper. Other people think the Cardas tonearm re-wire is the biggest bang for ... | |
| Large Thumping noise I agree with Audiofeil that it may be an isolation problem. However I feel we don't have enough information. Could you describe your setup, component & physical, and at what volume levels you observe the thumping? | |
| Speakers that have wide horizontal dispersion Second the Ohm Walsh. The 100 M3 are in your price range and with adequate power will do the job very nicely. I'm pushing 60w/ch and the speakers are rated to 150W/CH.They throw an amazingly wide soundstage are very quick & dynamic, go down to... | |
| The best George Bizet Carmen on vinyl I have 2 Carmen's; Callas on EMI recorded in the mid 60's (European Pressing) and Marylin Horne on Philips or DG with the Metrpoolitian Opera recorded in the mid 80's. Both are very good performances and are very different from each other both in ... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Try the AT120et, about $69 @ Garage-A records. It's not as bright as the 440 and mates exceptionally well with ther 1200M2. This is what I'm running and am very satisfied | |
| Record wear Record wear is not a problem in my experience if a few simple rules are followed. Keep the record & stylus clean. Cartridge alignment and setup is key. With clean software and a properly set up turntable records can last a lifetime. I have a c... | |
| Audio Technica AT-120E experience I'm using the 120e on a Technics SL 1200 M3D w/KAB Fluid Damper & Mat and am very happy with the setup. It absolutly beats to hell a Grado Black ($40). I find it very neutral. | |
| Can you imagine a world without vinyl? I had a friend over the other evening and re-introduced him to the joys of vinyl. Played a few Mercuary Living Presence, London & EMI from the 60's, MOFI, Nautilas, and a few other jems. His ears will never be the same! | |
| I want to re-introduce this subject. Even within the same media, music is recorded at different volumes. I listen mostly to LP's and some were recorded at higher levels than others. There is absolutly a difference between CD's & LP's with CD's being louder. I have not noticed as ... | |
| Less filling - great taste? Try the Ohm Micro Walsh or their Towers of Power. I own a pair of 100's MKIII and love them.http://www.ohmspeaker.com/ | |
| Anybody with some thoughts on Hafler amps It's not unusual for SS gear to need time to warm up, particullary older gear. I'm running a 35 year old amp and it takes a minimum of 1/2 hr to get happy with the music. The edigness falls away, bass deepens, and transparancy increases. Part of t... | |
| Thiels or Von Schweikerts Another option for you may be Ohm Acoustics. They have a 120 day full money back gaurantee. Your purchasing factory direct. Theey are very nice people to work with. I happen to love my 100 mk3's and have had them for about 6 months Good Luck with ... | |
