| Upgrading the "original " Rogue Sphinx integrated amp to the new version 2 (v-2)?? This is an old thread, but I just tried the variable out on my Sphinx v2, and it does not run through the tubes. How do I know? - when you switch the power on from standby look through the grating over the tubes. They start lighting up. Put a s... | |
| Cayin A88T 6550 KT88 Advice Part II Two other dealers who have them are thetubestore.com and tubedepot.com. Thetubestore is very fast at shipping. The Gold Lions I have are not NOS, but new production reissues made in Russia. | |
| Cayin A88T 6550 KT88 Advice Part II I recently bought a used A-88T and now have new production Gold Lions in the amp. They sound very good - rich and full in the mids and lows. I just replaced all 4 stock preamp tubes with reissue Tung-Sols. I think they sound good too.When I got th... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable I recently bought the KAB RCA terminal plate to install on the back of my 1210. I now see that Kevin has other parts on his website for complete tone arm rewiring, but he advised me that some of this work cannot be done by a DIYer like me.The ques... | |
| Best bang for the buck turntable? I have a KAB 1210 and am very happy with it. KAB sells a number of mods that bring this table to a new level - all for less than a grand. | |
| Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge I have a DL-160 and just bought a used MF X-LPSv.3 phono preamp. I am trying to determine if this combo works better using the MM or MC side of the preamp. On the MM side the gain seems low and the sound muted. On the MC side I think the sound ope... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Here is a link to an article about a shoot out between CD players and a 1210. Interesting reading.http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue26/technics.htm | |
| Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge Another DL-160 convert. I have been using a DL-160 for 3 months and it is great. It is mounted in a Sumiko shell on my Technics SL-1210 table. This is my first MC and it is still blowing me away. For one thing, surface noise is all but gone. But t... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Please describe the installation of the power supply. Do you have to take the table apart?Thanks | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Here is another question for you 1200/1210 folks. What cartridges do you like with this table and why do you like them? It will help if you tell us (me) what type music you listen to and what qualities you like about the cartridges you recommend.T... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Citation16: The M6 thread is a metric size thread that is the same as the threads on the stock 1210 footers. I just took one of the stock footers to a hardware store to make sure of the thread size. Mapleshade sells the Heavyfeet with M6 threaded ... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable Please keep the comments and ideas on the SL-1210 coming.I now have mine mounted on 4 Mapleshade 2 inch high Heavyfeet with M6 threads screwed tight into the four corners. I could not find 3 flat places on the bottom of the table to do the 3 point... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable I have a new SL-1210M5G and wonder what mats others recommend. I bought my table from KAB, so I have the upgraded mat that Kevin supplies. I also have a fiber/felt mat of unknown make. I like the mat KAB sells with the table better, but I am open ... |
