| Frustrated with Vinly @antinn Oh, the cleaning, ok ... forgive me. I do not blame you because you recommend Sota, cleaning records .. or because you’re living in America and prefer local products. Being Japanese the Technics is very well represented in USA since the 70... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly This forum should be the exchange of knowledge and ideas, but when your individual opinion becomes so extreme that you are now forcing the other to defend themselves, its WRONG! @antinn I do not force anyone, but trying to provide some facts, li... | |
| Cartridge misadventures Well. I have a soldering iron but no replacement clip, and I'm not sure I'm brave enough to work on the very fine wires in the Rega RB1000 tonearm, which are continuous all the way to the RCA plugs at the preamp. So I took the whole turntable to... | |
| Japan Trip - Looking For Shopping MC Cartridge Recommendations Karl, even if they are a bit cheaper they will charge you consumption tax in the shops. And then you will have to carry this turntable into the plane with you ? Or you will put it in the luggage that can be lost/damaged in transit (it happens) ? O... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly The SOUND is not belt drive or direct drive, the SOUND is mostly the cartridge, but the belt drive are inconvenient, slow, not stable in terms of speed, cheaply made toys (not all of them for sure, but those mentioned by the OP are definitely not ... | |
| Cartridge misadventures And you could have simply swap the needle by yourself in a few seconds if it was an MM/MI cartridge without this long quest. | |
| Frustrated with Vinly @jay73 You have nice gear. I am assuming you the Technics GR also, if so, what cartridge are you using or would recommend for it?Thanks, on GR you can use wide range of cartridges, this is a medium mass tonearm (pretty good one), any cartridge wi... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly First of all i hope you understand that Technics is a NEW turntable and completely different internally from the old technics model discontinued long time ago. The "GR" (available in balck and silver) is not a DJ turntable, but a slightly simplifi... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Background hiss and crackles (not to mention limited dynamic range and the endless aggravations of cleaning) were never acceptable to me that’s why I stopped buying vinyl in 1983 and have never remotely considered going back. Then the next genera... | |
| Vishay resisitors I only tried Vishay Naked Foil in my phonostages and they are superb! Now i replace load resistors almost on any phono stages (if i can) to Vishay Naked Foil from Texas Components (buyin' them from the manufacturer direct on ebay from USA). | |
| SET question best 45 type tube Hey there, it hard to resist and i finally bought the Yamamoto a-08s too, it was in my wantlist for many years when i had tube gear. It's crazy, because i sold my tube gear and now using First Watt F2J and Aleph L passive (latest version that beca... | |
| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? A diamond cantilever can be different too:1) One piece cantilever/stylus like Sony did long time ago, on this cantilever no one can remove the stylus tip, stylus is a part of cantilever. However the whole piece of diamond attached to a long alumin... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? @analogluvr $585 - 755http://www.tubeaudiostore.com/emission-labs.html | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Seriously, $2000 for a lighweight belt drive like this which looks like another $500 belt drive toy ? When the real deal is just $1700 for heavyweight unbeatable Japanese made Direct Drive with better tonearm, better motor, better cabinet, better ... | |
