| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Yes, I've owned the Astatic for about 3 months now but I used it for only a month--because it was too good. Let me explain. When I get a new cart I usually spend a week or so dialing it in, and because I've been well advised by this thre... | |
| looking to purchase AT6006 tonearm lift or similar My mistake, I thought he was in Japan. Not that it matters to me. I've purchased headshells from foxtan before with no issues. Obviously, YMMV. I see nothing in principle wrong with buying from Hong Kong, especially something like this riser. Can ... | |
| Why does my system sound so shrill and distorted? Many of my analog concerns, including shrillness, disappeared when I put my turntable on a sandbox. So, I agree with headsnappin on the importance of the rack. Do you have the stand that appears to be optional for your turntable? | |
| looking to purchase AT6006 tonearm lift or similar Here's one on the bay:linkIt's in Japan though so you won't get it in time for father's day. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Well, I spent the day learning how to solder and fixing the detached wire. While it was fun, it didn't help. The very first track I played after all that revealed the same problem. So, I dragged out a beater preamp (thanks for the suggestion, clio... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Thanks, Clio09. I think I figured it out. I was premature in blaming the LSA. You are right. I opened up the rm10 and found that one of the wires to the fuse box is disconnected. Now if only I knew how to solder :).That's cool that you'll be exhib... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? I've been having issues with the sound out of my system and finally had some time to diagnose. I've narrowed it down to the LSA or my tube amp (music reference rm10). The symptoms are the following. I'm getting diminished power/volume and muffled ... | |
| Does this amp have a problem or is it OK to buy? Of course buyer beware, but if we believe the seller's description of the hum, I wouldn't worry about it. "very faint hum" with ears pressed up against speaker is a cause for concern? I think not. I have a Music Reference rm10 tube amp that is kno... | |
| Who listens only to vinyl? I have about 60gb of music on my hard drive--but listen to vinyl virtually exclusively. I like the rituals surrounding vinyl even though they can be seen as nuisances. I don't miss out on the new music because I don't follow it. There's so much mu... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, I let that he finished and started to talk with him and because we were so near my place I invite him to come with me and explain what I want to test.You are truly sui generis, Raul. I mean that in the best possible way. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover: my long post probably reads like an obscure passage out of Duns Scotus, but the bit about multimiking was my interpretation of Frogman's view and not an expression of my own view. Moreover, on this interpretation, multimiking can lead to un... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Frogman: very helpful posts.I find myself in agreement with your premises but don't quite understand how they go towards showing that, as you put it, "There is no question that there is a great deal of it [3-d] in live music; far more than in even... | |
| Lenco Restorers in the US? His site is just 'classic turntables dot com'. Not very useful, since it doesn't appear to have contact information. | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? That's so sad. Paul was one of the great ones on Audiogon. | |
| Lenco Restorers in the US? Mirko does Lencos for sure. His machining skills are top notch. |
