| I need some turntable guidance I know where a supposed good deal is on a demo turntable for $10k. One of my questions is should I spend that kind of money or say are the differences marginal or great from a $5k to spending $10k? What do you get when you go up in price? Or what ... | |
| I need some turntable guidance You can’t go wrong with new Technics SL1000R or SP10R and if it’s too much then look for SL1200G the GR is even cheaper | |
| AT OC9 XEB? The LP Gear is a strange source, they are always selling some styli that does not looks like an original styli (obvious for those who have the originals). Now even their description for a cartridge has nothing to do with reality, everyone can see ... | |
| Vacuum tubes: Radio tubes, TV tubes, Audio tubes Many industrial tubes are just bad, some are very good.Military Telefunken tubes are oustanding. Russian military tubes are better than industrial. | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? produce a mat made of an animal skin is horrible, would you use a human skin instead ? | |
| Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck I personally am not fond of vintage cartridges. Cartridge technology has improved with better magnets, materials and geometry. @mijostinNot at all, actually we lose Beryllium cantilevers forever, we lose Boron Pipe cantilevers forever, manufactur... | |
| Old school analog system @tomic601 for DV 23R you don't need a heavy tonearm, this is not a low compliance cartridge, the best for the money is Victor UA-7045 if we're discussing vintage tonearms. Fidelity-Research FR-64fx. Technics EPA-100. Or maybe those Dynavector tone... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? The original DP-80 plinth is pretty decent, it does not looks like a cheap plinth from that era, the finishing is nice, the color is nice. Much better than any Victor stock plinth for example (imo). Adding AT-616 pneumatic footers is a must for su... | |
| Cartridge Reccomendations for the MoFi Ultradeck Do you know the effective mass of MoFi tonearm ?As i can see their own MM cartridges are low compliance 8 or 10cu (if the figure stated at 10Hz, we don’t know). If those carts are made in Japan the compliance is measured at 100Hz and it will be hi... | |
| Old school analog system chakster I need a tonearm for the SOTA....thoughts....thinking of a Dynavector Ruby or even a Decca...????? Do you mean a cartridge for your Sota ? Dynavector 23R Ruby is great, my version was with Micro Ridge stylus. I never tried Decca cartri... | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience @vortrex Strange, the reviewer's choice for Madake (for example) was Reed 3p and there is no difference in mass and compliance between Kansui and Madake. | |
| AT OC9 XEB? But why an MC if you need only for limited time and it's not primary replacement? | |

| Miyajima MADAKE experience My thread was created about 4 years ago and since that day i was thinking about Miyajima cartridge for my collection. I have missed many great offers from the official distributors of Miyajima in several countries from USA to New Zealand, also ask... | |
| Old school analog system Thanks for a kind words @normansizemore The design of the Luxman PD-444 reminds me a cutting lathe for its monolith (22kg without arms). The rails with armboards for almost any tonearm is such a clever idea, so easy to use and adjust anytime. In c... |
