| Moving from MM to MC Anyone tried a Jico S.A.S styli replacement? looks like they were discontinued a couple years ago since boron prices went up, but looks like you can get them for around $240 on the aftermarket. | |
| Moving from MM to MC Thanks for the feedback guys. After all the input I think I may have been swayed into buying a better MM cart (than the Shure m97xe) rather than trying to find a cheap way of doing MC without overhauling the rest of my system. After doing some res... | |
| Moving from MM to MC I agree your next move should be to a good MM/MI cart. There will be a great improvement in SQ over your budget Shure cart.Keep in mind that MC is very revealing of not only the music on the vinyl, but will reveal any flaws plus noise from your ... | |
| Moving from MM to MC The output is too low to properly match with the phono input in your preamp. That’s why if I got the DL 103 I would get a proper phono preamp to deal with this. (This one has selectable impedance for LOMC and HOMC 20 ohm and 100 ohm respectively. ... | |
| Moving from MM to MC In my opinion you want to try the LOMC whithout even realised the potential of MM cartridges. But no problem, we're always looking for something new and different. If your budget is $300 you'd better forget about LOMC (imo), but if you have $150... | |
| Moving from MM to MC It's really impossible to offer you a meaningful suggestion without knowing more, such as what pickup arm and phono preamp you will be using with this cart. I am currently using the TCC TC-750 from phonopreamps.com and I have to say that I real... | |
| Moving from MM to MC Nonsense! The Denon 103 mc's are true classics (and in production since 1962!). They are the best sounding cartridges under $500 of any type! My experience with the 103's goes back to 1977 when I heard one paired with a Levinson JC-1 headamp - m... | |
| Moving from MM to MC You will notice a decrease in sound quality. Please elaborate on this. You don't like the Denon or you prefer MM style carts? | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? even though you wouldn't be buying new and benefitting his company. Trust me, I want to benefit his company in anyway possible. This man really deserves it. We want Richard Vandersteen in business a loooooong time. I may be willing to save up a... | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? KenWood - I may have to hit you up on that sometime, although I am rarely in the Bend area. Thanks for the invite! Do you have a turntable? I could bring some Daft Punk and a couple MoFi LPs | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? 5a is giant itself. Big heavy and very slow. Won't work in small rooms. You need at least 50 people auditorium sized space. In ordinary sized listening room 3a or quattros will dom.Well, my home is an open floor plan with the great room kitchen ... | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? A giant killer upgrade path you are missing is 5a Oh man, that would be my ultimate upgrade. I do see these on the site every once in a while for 6-7K, but don’t know if I’ll ever be in a position to buy this much speaker all at once. If I could ... | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? when they're sold, you won't see them that much. I assume you are talking about the 2wq? Yes, I am a bit afraid of this. If I can't get a hold of a good used one, I guess I could start working a second job during the graveyard shift and save up... | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? You might consider moving to a powered speaker instead of a passive design. The Treo, I understand, is a passive version of the Quatro and is still pretty pricey.If you are sold on Vandersteen speakers, I can totally understand, they are a grea... | |
| Why do I see more Vandersteen model 3s vs model 2s for sale? Let’s think for a minute .In order to take full advantage of the bigger speaker one would need to optimize with better electronics to climb to an obviously better level then add in decent AQ cables no band aids and a normal size room to breath a... |
