| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? When I listened to a CD and was astonished by the spectacular sound and fidelity, then put a LP on and was astonished by the sound of a performance. | |
| What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's I agree with the Jelco 750's synergism with the Denon DL 103 and even the 301II. I have 2 turntables [18 cartridges] on which many cartridges work quite well, not to mention the ease of changing cart's with the Jelco's detachable headshell Jelco ... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Of all the options you have mentioned I believe this is the best one if you can stilll get the package for $1000, not so sure for $1599! As I stated in a previous post, my Virtuoso retip was $150 3 or 4 years ago and $250 for the 2nd retip e... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 I had a Clearaudio Virtuoso [mentioned a couple of responses above.] Soundsmith retipping cost $150 for the bare bones installation a couple of years ago and took over three months. Just this year I had another stylus assembly installed for... | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 Whoops; I meant Music Fidelity of course, not Music Hall.! | |
| Best sounding turntable and cartridge for $1100 The Music Hall Roundtable originally came as a 3 part system,. but the components could be sold separately Hi Fi Choice gave it a pretty good review, and there are many other good reviews on the internet. Music Direct even has a demo for $199, and... | |
| Rega RP6 vs Pro Ject 1Xpession Carbon - is there $500 difference The 2 Xperience is quite a bit higher on the food chain. As I recall, around$1500 whereas the Xpression is less than $1000. Check Needle Doctor under turntables for prices on a slew of turntables. | |
| Rega RP6 vs Pro Ject 1Xpession Carbon - is there $500 difference For my 2 cents worth, I've had the Rega P3, P5, RP6, and RP8, the latter 3 with TTPSU's. I've also had the Project Expression III, with the fishline antiskate. Those all have been sold and I currently have a Technics SL 1300 and restored [byV.N.... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul: different chart; the one I cited scored those 60 cartridges on a scale of 10. The MA 2002e, Stanton881S, and Empire2000Z all scored the highest ratings, 9.7. Various Shures, Acutex, ADC's,Pickerings, Ortofons,Osawas,, AT's, etc. scored quite... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Whoops: I don't have the computer skills to forward that chart. It compared about 60 phono cartridges a consumer magazine had reviewed in the previous 10 years. Three which came out way on top were the Empire2000Z, Stanton 881S, and Micro Acoust... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Here is a chart from the 80's which may be of interest: | |
| What is more accurate: magnetic anti-skating, or barrel weight attached a fishline? Sunnyjim: does this discourse help in considering the turntables you are considering: Project, Gem Dandy, and Rega? I agree the antiskate issue ahould not be the deciding factor.] Purchase the least expensive TT which matches well with the Blue Po... | |
| Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT?? I agree with bpoletti about preference regarding turntables; by the way, if you look closely, the 2b experience has the fish line cleaverly concealed in back of the counterweight rather than out in the open unlike the dial in system on the rpms. l... | |
| Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT?? I stand corrected! I looked at a video of the RPM3 and it clearly shows the more traditional antiskating dial in mechanism. Why don't you talk to one of the technicians and see how much more the Evo 3 would be ? I've owned the Planar 3 and 5, RP6... | |
| Is the Merill "Gem Dandy" turntable far superior in sound than the Project RPM-3 TT?? The new model Rega planar 3 is highly reviewed and you can purchase it at Needle doctor and upgrade to the evo3 for less than $1600 ; they will install the cartridge, make sure all set up parameters are correct, etc., and also provide free shipp... |
