| Power conditioner for Wadia Well, I used the Wadia 861 thru a RGPC 400 Mk1, which was plugged into the non-dedicated lines & a 49 cents Cooper Electrical outlet. Sounded bright on the top (I was getting a bit too much hi freq resolution!!) & it made listening fatigui... | |
| A resistor question for CAT SL-1...help needed Marakanetz's advice is correct. However, I want to add 1 important aspect: if you are using a MC step-up then make sure that you account for the impedance transformation owing to the xformer: whatever resistor value RCA plugs you make WILL get div... | |
| Ph.D. or Cat SL 1 >>do you think that the SL-1 MKII might be hugely better than the original SL-1..??Yes! I'm assuming that Reb had the CAT SL1 Signature Mk2 on loan. If that is the case, then the Signature Mk3 is the best version of the 3: SL1 Signature, Sig... | |

| Step-up transformers... Thanks Doug!I still have the CAT SL1 Sig MkIII & still use the Benz L2 with a 14dB K&K Audio step-up. For me, with the step-up sounds best. I used the Benz L2 w/o a step-up for several weeks. Fiddled a lot with the setup to get it to repro... | |
| Advice needed, MC cartridge for SpaceArm? Well, my friend Ozzy62 went thru this whole exercise just a few months back! I hope that he sees this thread & chimes in. Basically, he tried the KOntrapunkt-B (the more expensive one), Shelter 501 & the Benz L2. I think that he might have... | |
| Benz Micro H2 or Grado??? Glad that you like it! I'll surmise that if you are this happy with the Benz H2, then you could be happier with the Benz L2 as the lower total weight of the L2 makes it a better tracker & more transparent. However, in your case you'd have to s... | |
| How are the blue note RVG CD's? I have a remastered RVG Blue Note Kenny Burrell "Midnight Blue" CD & I think that it sounds really very good. The tube mic hiss overtakes what should be a dead quiet spot but that's what tube mics did when there was so much gain in the system!... | |
| best recording of Diana Krall ? Hi Mejames,What is your plan w.r.t. DK's music on a CD?I ask to know whether you want to sit there & analyse the music or you want to enjoy the music. I've listened to most all her works but own only a few CDs that, IMHO, are her best MUSIC &a... | |

| non-oversampling question Here are my thoughts on this subject & I hope that others will voice their opinions too....If one were not to oversample or upsample, the transition band is very, very steep & to design an analog filter after the D-A operation becomes very... | |
| best cartridge for MMF-7, stock tonearm,below1000 Radiob,Inscrutable & Dan_ed got here before me & have already echoed my sentiments.The cartridges that you are looking at as replacements are rather resolving in nature & are capable of some really nice dynamics & music BUT on a TT... |
