LP Gear N97xVL ViVid Line Contact Stylus for Shure M97xe--Also compared vs JICO SAS Stylus
Ok reviving my own dead thread here!  LOLz!!! Just in case you fine folks want to try and hear the difference yourselves; I have made a couple of videos showcasing the difference of the M97xe with the Vivid Line, the 2M Black, and an AT PTG33II on... 
Ortofon 2M Black?
So I didn't go with the Soundsmith... I did go with the 2M black... I really wish I could have heard them side by side... However, with the deal I got on the 2M Black; that would have put me in the budget range of the Otello.  I really wanted to g... 
Jico SAS no more
So FYI LP Gear continues to have some of the best values in replacement styli on the market.  I owned said JICO SAS stylus on a Shure M97xe for a while and then the suspension failed... Always sounded excellent to my ear.  However, to my wife it s...

Best cartridge for Dual 505-2
If you still have that Shure M97xe; get yourself an LP Gear Line Contact stylus for it!!!  OMG it is 1000x better than the JICO SAS (which I owned until the suspension gave out) and you will NOT regret it!!!  Totally different, full, rich, open, a... 
Ortofon 2M Black?
Well about 15 hours in I will say it sounds ANYTHING but thin!  I aligned it with an arc protractor specifically for my table from vinylengine...  I find that this particular alignment to be more pleasing than any other protractor I have used.  Of... 
Ortofon 2M Black?
Well I took the plunge and bought it from goldprint audio on here and it was the BEST transaction I have ever had...  So am I sad?  HECK NO!!! Best cart I have owned to date!  The VTA, Azimuth, and all are dead on and it's still breaking in... Don... 
Firefox freezes when using Audiogon
so I am a datacenter architect and I will let you know that FireFox and Waterfox (which I use personally) have cracked down on the Adobe Flash products... I had the same issue... Look up at the top for an allow or allow and remember option or a li... 
Ortofon 2M Black?
So I want to keep myself happy and the Grados don’t do it... I myself think the Shure sounds nasal... She said she hears more separation of voices and instruments with the Grado vs the Shure... I am inclined to agree as I think it sounds critical ... 
Ortofon 2M Black?
http://www.lpgear.com/product/OR2MBLACKHDH.html At this price I suppose I would be a fool not to... Right?  You guys think it is better than a SoundSmith Carmen? 
moscode 300 hypbrid? Worthwhile?
currently with my stock (re vamped crossovers) koss cm 1030's my onkyo tx-8522 is really good sounding... like much better sounding than you would expect... With all the new proposed drivers being between 88-90db/1 watt efficient; I suppose this a...

Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable
So I got myself an SL-1200 mk2 and wow what a difference over my fisher mt-6330--I got it for a steal @ $200.00 from a friend. I have exchanged several emails with Kevin from KAB and he sure knows his stuff. I have fitted mine similar to your setu... 
I think I am going to attempt to make turntatbles
Well I love a challenge and as an engineer I am really proficient in both calculus and physics... I drew out my plans today while I should have been working (ha ha ha). So its going to work something like a speaker does when it moves the voicecoil... 
I think I am going to attempt to make turntatbles
How about using a thing sheet magnet under the platter and then shield it with aluminum... much like magnetically shielding a transducer? my idea is to use some sort of less powerful magnetic field underneath the platter to levitate it against ano...
