| Telarc 1812 revisited 2 I understand the high vs. low compliance issue; my purpose for this post was to point out the lack of good tracking by the SAS vs. he original V15III stylus, which must have been much more compliant. This was a surprise to me, but the sound was co... | |
| Rega RP8 and alternatives in $3000-4000 range I had a RP8 for 3 years. I sold it, because I also had a restored vintage Thorens in the same cabinet, and I could play them off against each other using the same or other cartridges, and I preferred the much less expensive Thorens. Of course this... | |
| Rega, Pro-Ject, Technics SL-1200 I have had Music Hall 5.1, Project expression III, Rega P3, P5, RP6, and RP8. I also have a Technics SL 1200, original not MK II. I compare all these with the 13 cartridges I have, the Technics vs. the modern belt drives mentioned above. My conclu... | |
| Phono preamp with two inputs: two MMs or MM+MC? My Rega Aria, about $1500, has both MM and MC phono inputs, and I have 2 turntables always plugged in, one with a MM cartridge, the other with LOMC cartridge. Works great! | |
| Thorens TD 160-significant upgrade possible $1500? I've had a Thorens TD 160, 2 TD 125's, and 2 TD 150's. Three had original toneams, and 2 had different arms, ie Jelco 750d and SME 3009 II. I've also had a Rega P3, P5, RP6, and RP8 with Rega arms; TTPSU's were on 3 of them. After much interchange... | |
| question about these turntables I'm glad you asked this question about Rekokut, as I asked the same question a year or so ago, also included a querry about the current Merril AR replica turntable at about the same price as the Rekocut .I got only a few vague respones, as you did... | |
| VPI Scout 1.1 Cartridge Recommendation If you're going as high as the Ortofon quintet black, the Cadenza series is just slightly more $. | |
| turntable with detachable headshell Thanks; I did read a review, which was good. I wonder if other audiogon members see this as a quality audiophile TT? | |
| cartridge demagnetization Thanks for all the input; Czbbcl: I did watch that video on UTube. Does anyone not agree that method is safe and effective? | |
| Best Cartridge for technics sl1200mk2 A slight correction: The Shure V15III never had a brush, only [in the V15 series] the V15IV and V]. I presume the 1812 version is the notorius Telarc, right,M-db? | |
| Phono Preamp and Cartridge selection However, the list price for the Ortofon Cadenza black is almost $2000 more than the 2m black! [not $250!] | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth I agree with a lot of what Halcro has to say, and I've also tried many tonearm/cartridge combinations and haven't heard horrible results even when the compliance/ resonance formulas were way off. However, I still have copies of Stereo Review magaz... | |
| Rega Aria Phonostage Vs Aqvox 2CI Mk 2 Only the Rega Aria with an RP8on the MC side, and misc. MM's on the MM side; I like this combo because you can have 2 TT's plugged in at the same time. | |
| Miracord 50H Turntable I also previously posted a thread on this topic about idler drive turntables and mentioned the Miracord 50H,one of which I purchased in 1971, using it not as a changer but in single play mode. I challenge the fact that it was a lower end product. ... | |
| Rekokut Rondine 3 vs. Merill AR es1 replica Lewm: your point is well taken. I do not own either of said turntables, and it seems no one really is familiar with them; therefore, in a decision to purchase a turntable which allows easy cartridge exchange, I thought of the Technics SL 1200II, w... |
