| Gold Note PSU10 , anyone yet get one? Yep, the price for Gold Note with so many features is unbeatable today. | |
| Help me make a decision! Turntable overload As for the NEW moving magnet i would recommend Garrott, i am so happy with my old P77, make sure to check their new carts like P77i, but keep in mind that prices are in Australian Dollars, so in USD it is much cheaper. https://garrottbrothers.com/... | |
| Gold Note PSU10 , anyone yet get one? Chakster, what other phono stages do you use and how does the Gold Note compare? I have JLTi phono (with special mod) for MM cartridges to load them up to 100k Ohm or lower with whatever RCA plug resistors i want. It’s also fine for MC if they ar... | |
| Gold Note PSU10 , anyone yet get one? I’m using it along with two other phono stages in my system.Very nice phono stage for people who’re using two tonearms with whatever cartridges. It can be two MM or two MC, or MM and MC connected to this phono stage. Settings such as loading, gain... | |
| Technics 1200G - clamp record weight or no record weight? Yeah, you can always cut your carpet to put it on the disc as an alternative to beautiful Micro Seiki Gunmetal mats. This is from Denon engineers: "Low frequency limit rof the cutting on the disc is approximately 20 Hz, therefore, the signal at lo... | |
| Technics 1200G - clamp record weight or no record weight? @nkonor ... Think about things and use Your Ears. Do you really want a metal mat? Even if its copper. Some guys swear by VPI aluminum platters, Some Delrin platters. chakster likes copper matsAbsolutely. This is the only way to find out what is th... | |
| Technics 1200G - clamp record weight or no record weight? @sleepwalker65 You're right, there is a difference between clamp and weight, but i have no idea how the chuck lock like this can pull up the spindle? When we apply a little force to lock the clamp arround the spindle there is no resistance coming ... | |
| Technics 1200G - clamp record weight or no record weight? You will not damage anything, Technics supports not only heavy clamps of 1kg, but also heavy mat of 2kg. It’s been said many times on audiogon, no harm for the bearings. The SP-10mk2 and mk3 ownrs use superheavy mats and clamps, the SL1200G series... | |
| Current injection (amplification) phono stages Thanks @lewm Now i've checked the article about it from the link above. My "old friend" Dr.Tominari whom i've mentioned in my Dynavector thread invented this method, very interesting: Dr. Noburu Tominari of Dynavector was the first to propose usi... | |
| Best turntable under $2000 Don’t buy a Pioneer and Hanna cartridges, don’t read the reviews for a new stuff (it’s new marketing), just look for a vintage top of the line Luxman PD-444 turntable with Micro Seiki direct drive motor. Wait untill you will find one for $2000 on ... | |
| Technics 1200G - clamp record weight or no record weight? Try Micro Seiki ST-10, i don’t think 95% of the records are totally flat, for critical listening there must be some sort of weight on top of them to flatten them and to clamp them to a mat (if someone using metal mats like Micro Seiki CU-180 or Sa... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Has anyone tried Denon DA-401 tonearm for high compliance MM cartridges? The headshell is removabale, but unique type, so it's impossible to use any other headshells, except for the Denon shell designed for this tonearm. But the arm must be great ... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? @lewm I am focusing my attention on the eternal debate between chakster and nAndric over the true origins of the glanZ MFG 61 phono cartridge. Surely, that is the most important issue of our day, not the collapse of democracy and liberalism in Eu... |
