| what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience? I bought many cassettes this year, all of them are still sealed.My best is this TDK and I think it was the best TDK ever made! | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? Glad you dig vintage cartridges (even if yours is re-tipped) for everyday use. I hope you can find a NOS samples of what you’re looking for. People who are into sound are well aware how good those high-end carts from the ’80s and ’90s really are (... | |
| Age of masters Watch this discussion, those masters are timeless and if they are stored properly in the archives then no problem to use them even 50 years later. | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Chakster also squeezed a 3rd arm on that amazing Luxman 2 arm deck, a beauty, (too rare for me).No, since I have two LUX turntables I got 4 tonearms in use (2 per deck :) A picture with 3 arms on one deck was made when I decided to swap 64fx with ... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Chakster, if by VdH, you mean Van den Hul: I have been sending my cartridges to him for 25 years minimum. I’m a “normal” person (if I put aside the fact that I’m an audiophile) and I speak to people there, get emails back and forth... When you’ve ... | |
| Estate Sales I know that our group is gray haired. Or does everybody know what our stuff is worth , and sell online ? Jeff Jeff, regarding Vinyl or CDs you or anyone can check sales history of every release on discogs.com and it will give you an idea of going ... | |
| Everybody’s Top 5 - Vinyl Been reading what’s on everyone’s turntable tonight and got to wondering…what’s your top 5? My top 5 for tonight from vintage vinyl, all records recorded incredibly well, but linked fines on youtube below are not from my records :) I will post ... | |
| HiFi News Test Record Azimuth Here is Chad about the history of FLAT PROFILE pressing (at 2:11 in this video). There is a JVC brochure with an example of their FLAT FACE and flat edge UHQR and conventional pressing @cleeds | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration ... and it was bamboo armtube if I remember correct | |
| HiFi News Test Record Azimuth @cleeds No, I think you didn’t get the point. It’s not about platter, mat or clamp or ring weight that anyone can use. It’s about vinyl record profile (you can’t change it), the so called “flat profile” is new feature of Analogue Productions and t... | |
| Stylus Wear Question The user reported that he had not realized how much gradual degradation occurs over time that you don’t really notice. This is why it’s important to have more than one cartridge (or additional stylus in case with MM/MI) so you can compare used an... | |
| HiFi News Test Record Azimuth Audiophiles can suffer, because only Flat Profile from the lead-in groove to the run-out groove can guarantee there is no pitch to the profile, allowing your stylus to play truly perpendicular to the grooves from edge to center. For better underst... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 The only reason "to fix" Technics P100 mk4 cartridge is softened suspension and the only reason to justify a complete rebuild is to claim that "new cantilever is better" (of course). A working sample with a perfect suspension is almost impossible ... | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Here is a story: I still have a pair of upgraded SL1210 mkII in my second system, I bought them in 1995. After all those cheap Ortofon, Shure, Grado (MI and MM) cartridges I finally bought Technics 205c mk3 then mk4 and I was blown away! I tried t... | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration Yes, those old Japanese Toho cast iron plinths are an eye candy, they also made their own tonearm btw. So the cast iron has been used since the ’70s for Technics plinth, it was 59.5 lbs (27kg). The price for TM-10 for Technics was 230 000 YEN as s... |
