| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 "Goofy" may have been my own creation after reading about the damping design of the Denon. Maybe I should use "unconventional" instead. In any event, I can't say I have a specific complaint about the Denon arm. Perhaps it is as good as its goin... | |
| Tonearm for Luxman PD 441 regarding a tonearm board, I'm not sure how I would attach it to the table. The spot where the tonearm would attach normally is on a sliding track, so there is seemingly quite a bit of adjustment available to get closer or farther away from the s... | |
| Tonearm for Luxman PD 441 Seems like the Fidelity Research FR 54 is a lot less expensive to buy than FR 64. Is there much of a difference? They both seem to be same dimensions, so should work with my PD 441 | |
| Insuring audio equipment Yes, I did contact my insurance company first. Their response was to have an appraisal and try to have receipts (the receipt part would be futile, so an appraisal would be better). Years ago, a bunch of my stuff was stolen in a move across coun... | |
| VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441 I was looking at the Luxman PD 441 manual and they list a bunch of tonearms in the same category as the current Denon DA 307. The Fidelity Research mentioned is a 54 not a 64. Those seem to be pretty reasonably priced out there. Anyone think th... | |
| VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441 Thanks everyone. As usual, great info for me to absorb. I'm going to keep the Luxman and change out the tonearm. Will try to find one that will not require much adjustment. | |
| VPI Scout 2 vs. Luxman PD 441 For those of you suggesting I keep the Luxman, do I need to spend in the $1,000 range for a better tonearm than the Denon? A past suggestion has been a Fidelity Research 64S. | |
| Tonearm for Luxman PD 441 Thanks for the heads up. I wonder how I find options that will fit similarly to the existing Denon arm? I'd rather not get into chasing down rare and expensive tonearm bases. | |
| Tonearm for Luxman PD 441 Thanks for the advice. I've never attempted a tonearm mounting before. Just cartridge changes. Am I in for a lengthy and confusing process? | |
| Cartridge upgrade advice Also, want to cap the expense at $600 new or used. Sorry I didn't mention that before.... | |
| cartridge upgrade advice Thanks. I'm going directly into a Rogue Audio 66 Magnum tube pre-amp with its stock phono stage. Is this good enough? | |
| Infocus X1 projector to Outlaw Audio 975 OK, I've gotten the component video working via the new TV directly with component connections from DVD player to processor and then processor to TV. So, now I just need to get the projector working the same way. I'll keep plugging, but please kee... | |

| Infocus X1 projector to Outlaw Audio 975 I don't have an Integra DPS 6.7 DVD player hooked up any longer (it had been getting finicky about playing most DVD's, so needs to be serviced). I've been trying a brand new Sony DVD blu-ray player with HDMI and an older Mitsubishi with componenet... | |
| Infocus X1 projector to Outlaw Audio 975 Still no luck. I am getting audio to work now, but no video. I adjusted the Outlaw to 1080i from 1080p. Even tried dumping down to 720 and 480p. Nothing. I also tried switching to Native. The source I'm using is a DVD player via HDMI connection. P... |
