| Theory about Fidelity Research MC & PMC Carts @roberjerman I owned a MC201 back in 1980-81. Wish I still had it! Then why don't you buy it? This model is not rare and often for sale for cheap in perfect condition. | |
| NOS Grace F9E question @rauliruegas yes the F9 is a winner tells other thing makes no-sense and bortding to the stupidity. "Stupidity" is your comments these days, you missed the train long time ago and i have no idea when you have listened to any records with Grace c... | |
| NOS Grace F9E question Everyone can find more about rare Grace models herehttps://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/grace-level-ll F-9 is a good cartridge for sure and we have to be patient when it comes to some uber rare models which can be called ULTIMATEAnyway F-9 is so... | |
| Tube recommendations A problem with tubes is that you can not stop trying different tubes when you're realizing how good those vintage tubes are. It's an addiction. So don't expect that you will buy the right tube, you will buy many of them and they are different from... | |
| NOS Grace F9E question F9 is not a winner in the Grace line, it’s a good cartridge, but only a STARTER for those who’re looking for a magical Grace Sound. The best are F14 and LEVEL II series, only those top of the line models i can call the best MM. Grace has improved ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The more audiophile knowledge ( vintage audiophiles. ) goes with two of the best Pritchard ever designs that I own too; ADC Astrion and the Sonus Dimension 5. ADC Astrion is not a Pritchard’s design, this cartridge was made after Pritchard left t... | |
| Theory about Fidelity Research MC & PMC Carts I see, but FR-2 and FR-MC 202 / 201 have at least similatiry in numbers, like the FR-7 series and FR-702 (which is an Export version). PMC-3 is a different cartridge, do you have PMC-3 to compare it to the MC-201/202? Look at the old J.Carr’s post... | |
| Theory about Fidelity Research MC & PMC Carts Then what can you say about these models?http://20cheaddatebase.web.fc2.com/needie/NDFR/FR-2.html | |
| Tube recommendations I’m looking for a lower noise floor & increased detail. It’s all about vintage Telefunken Military Tubes from the 50s, 60s, 70s My target was exactly the same when i upgraded, i have upgraded quickly and there was no reason to wait, it was hu... | |
| Tube recommendations Never used ECC83 or ECC88, these are different type of tubes than ECC81, they are NOT interchargable and this is all you need to know. | |
| Tube recommendations You can replace all ECC81 tubes with ECC801s or 12AT7 or 12AT7WA (they are all one type)But all 3 must be one type like at matched trio | |
| Tube recommendations Hello Rich, ECC81 = ECC801s = 12at7 = 12at7WA I can recommend the original Military Telefunken ecc801s made in the 60’s, this is clearly one the the best tubes of this type and extremely rare today. This is what i’ve been using with a great result... | |
| Phono Stage Recommendation $3000 @oilmanmojo I used the ZYX with my UNIverse cartridge I like another ZYX device for MC cartridges which can work well with any MM phono stage. This is ZYX CPP-1 Pre-Preamp (Headamp). I have replaced a block of 9 batteries inside CPP-1 and now it ... | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth That company is USA offering many different solution to clean metal (guns, knifes etc), i think some stuff works well for metal parts of the turntables etc | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? @jeschiotz SL1000mkII is probably too heavy for magnetic footers |
