| Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan There are less fee intensive options than Jauce, Griffithds. The $25 fee even for a lost auction is ridiculous. | |
| TT-101 turntables…or any DD decks Ok, I'm game. Victor is now on; we'll return late tomorrow to have a listen. But I don't get why it should sound better after 3 days on (or whatever) as opposed to, say, 3 hours on? This coming from a man whose tt101 resurrected after being left o... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Apparently, being perfectly content with the LSA and its wall wart isn't incompatible with ordering this new 'fancy' power supply :).fyi: one can buy it off the bay so as to avoid having to register at yet another website. | |
| 33.3 is now superior to 45 Davt's wonderful epigram reminds me of these lyrics:At the record company meetingOn their hands - a dead starAnd oh, the plans they weaveAnd oh, the sickening greedAt the record company partyOn their hands - a dead starThe sycophantic slags all sa... | |
| Silver cables Any other thoughts out there on Soundsilver as Evank's comments seem quite promising. Thank you.I used Soundsilver's 'harmony' ICs (mix of silver and gold) until recently. Great cables for the price. Sound is tipped up to give a sense of openess. ... | |

| Buying A Cartridge Direct From Japan It's possible to buy Yamamoto Sound Craft products (headshells, leads, etc.) directly off their website. Curiously, their cartridges aren't presently available on the site, but I don't see why you couldn't email them and order them should you be s... | |
| Power Cords: A Skeptic Looking to Dabble... In auditioning cables, I've gotten into the habit of taking extensive notes on specific tracks. This mitigates the effects of memory and wishful thinking. Not foolproof to be sure, but better than pretending that one's memory alone is sufficient. | |
| Does anybody make a arm pod for an external arm?? Mine were made by Mirko, a machinist/turntable restorer out of Huntington Beach CA. I think he did a beautiful job, although it's hard to beat the TTW pod. If you work with Mirko, I highly recommend doing it in person and with the arm(s) in hand. ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I own the mk2 version of the epa 100 (titanium boron instead of the titanium nitride of the mk1). To my ears, it works just fine with any of the 7 mm carts I've thrown at. It might take some fiddling with the damping mechanism Pryso referred to, b... | |
| sony ps-x75 main ic According to a search on this site both the original IC and the suggested replacement are 'available'. You might have to purchase more than your fair share, so the question is, How much do you love that table? | |
| Cost no object tonearm for DL-103 hi Clio: are you using that set up with your what-must-be-killer Concert Fidelity restored Denon tt? | |
| SP-10 Mat I used tiny bits of blu-tac to keep my BA Mat 2 secure. Worked like a charm and very clean removal. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners But, Chris, you should know that if I ever have a question about the ET arms, I would ask you. So asking me to identify one is like asking yourself ;). |
