| XV-1S and Antiskate I use 0 anti-skating compensation for XV-1s and XV-1t with Dynavector 507 Mk.II and Triplanar Mk.7.As a matter of fact, with most upper level cartridges and tonearms, I find anti-skate compensation is unnecessary.YMMVDealer disclaimer | |
| Zu Soul Superfly >>09-12-10: TjnindcThe $1500 for the Omen is the European price (I'm almost sure).<<No, that is not correct.The introductory price is $999 until 11/10/10.Then the price increases to $1500. | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? I certainly wouldn't make this move without an extensive audition of the MM Three, ideally in your room.There is no advice anybody who has heard both speakers can offer here that would be worth the change.One final thought, Wilson will undoubtedly... | |
| Opinions on vintage Dual turntables Aside from an emotional, or "soft spot" as you say, attachment there is little value in seeking out older Duals if performance is your primary criteria.As others have noted, newer products from Rega, MusicHall, etc. will smoke the Duals.If you're ... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Does anybody know if the shibata stylus assembly from the Signet AM50S is interchangeable with the AM30S (elliptical stylus)?If you're not comfortable answering in this thread, private email is fine.Thanks in advance.Bill | |
| Anyone using a Lyra Delos yet? To date I've mounted Delos on Triplanar, Dynavector 507 Mk.II, SME M2-12R, and Hadcock 242.Depending on phono stage, Pass XP-15, Steelhead, Esoteric E-03, it seems to perform best between 250 and 400 ohms.YMMVDealer disclaimer | |
| Grammys for 2010, so far... The grammys serve as a filter in regards to my music purchases.Basically, if the artist/band wins a grammy, I remove that album from my "consider buying" list.Flys, mosquitoes, and even grammys serve a purpose. | |
| Ortofon A90 or Air Tight PC-1 The only thing proven is that person, singular i.e. one set of ears, prefers the ortofon. Nothing more.By no means does it make the ortofon "better".It's strictly the listener's decision.The "better" and/or "best" argument is really getting old.Al... | |
