| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Do you hear that Doug? Welcome 4yanx! Do you know that I tell everyone I know about your vinyl cleaning process? Why its the first topic I bring up at all the cocktail parties I attend! :> ) (I wonder why I never get invited back?)I am always t... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path A couple of people have written to me privately about the current thread. In one message, a concern was voiced about the Moerch not be suitable with the ZYX. I wrote back explaining that the Moerch would be a great match, at least in theory, becau... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Dougdeacon,You are always welcome at any time! October is a good month in Tracy. It will be ninety degrees today, but it's a dry heat! And while you're here, don't forget to visit the Livermore Valley wineries, if you're into wine. It's fun and no... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path It might be a good idea if I provide the source of the information regarding the effective mass of the tonearm to be used with the Grado cartridge that I have mentioned in this thread. The information came from a question that I had asked on the V... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hi Dougdeacon,Thanks for the compliment, but you must really thank Van den Hull for making this information available to all of us. All I did was to push some keys on a calculator. : >)I agree that my calculated values will vary to some degree ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Viggen,If my numbers are correct, then the Dynavector 17D2 should work with the OL Encounter. But before you run out any buy the cartridge, you might want to ask others if they have tried the combination. On the other hand, the Dynavector line is ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path I have now made up my mind as to what turntable, tonearm, and cartridge I intend to buy. Any predictions? The answer can be found in a single recommendation that was posted here in this thread.Before I divulge the answer, however, I would like to ... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hey Dougdeacon,Thanks for responding.It might have been very silly of me to ask you about the loading question. I should have known you must have tried every conceivable resistance, and then some.The Shelter 901 is now off my upgrade list. If it s... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Twl, As always, you have provided useful and sage comments about the tubes versus solid state issue. For me, the issue is closed and it's a solved problem as far as my system is concerned. What's more, I agree with you about the choice between the... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Hiowl, You might want to ask Twl about the Shelter 301. | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Raul,Have you considered starting a new thread in the amp/preamp section of Audiogon where you might debate amplifier design?Yes, the signal originating from the source, whether itÂ’s from LP/CD/SACD/DVD-A/cassette/real-to-real tape/etc., is compro... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Soliver & Twl,I will post in a little while. My daughter wants the Internet and we are fighting over the computer. :>( So I will go listen to some music and tune back in later.Artar1 | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Dougdeacon,Let me say that your postings have helped me a lot. And also let me say that I apologize if my last post to you sounded like a district attorney in a cross examination. That was never my intention.My interest in the Moerch began with th... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Dougdeacon,I didn't know that the tonearm cable should be uninterrupted for higher-quality MC cartridges, like the ZYX. I didn't know that cable breaks would degrade the sound. With the cable design of the Moerch DP-6, how much degradation would r... | |
| $800 Cartridge Shootout and Upgrade Path Twl,If Dougdeacon is the man, then u'd the man of the man! (Well, that really didn't make much sense?)I do have plans to at least try the Shelter 501 (I hope Dougdeacon ain't readin' this!). So if that's the case, the Hadcock won't work as a one-a... |
