| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 @nandric you know the price for the plinth for SP-10mkII, this is one of the reason that makes SP-10mkII very expensive. With PD-444 the owner is free of the problem with plinth even with one tonearm (it can be "12 inch tonearm that does not fit i... | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 Find yourself a Luxman PD-444, you can buy it under $5000 This is amazing direct drive turntable for two tonearms, motor made by Micro Seiki, i use two of them, they are superheavy, so i made custom metal racks for them. I like those LUX so much, ... | |
| Analog playback on computer. I have no intention to digitalize my vinyl, but even vinyl reissues are not as good as the original pressings. I don’t care much about new music recorded digitally from the start, my favorite records are from the 70s era. Those LPs recorded on mas... | |
| My Feelings — and, Incidentally, the iFi Audio iPhono2 this is what i said before: http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/heads-up-ifi-phono-2.627504/page-7 The question is what would you do with this "magic iPhono" when the warranty expired? There is a guy who returned 2 items to get 3rd one with th... | |
| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! Why not contact SME about fake producs on ebay with their brand name on it? Maybe they can do something | |
| Cartridge for stock Technics 1200G tonearm There is probably one more cartridge for Technics fans worldwide, headshell integrated model (with azimuth and overhang adjustments) -Technics 205c mk4 MM. Perfect match for Technics tonearm, very rare and almost impossible to find with good suspe... | |
| Ugraditus is calling....again. Phono stage? I will give you an idea to audition MM/MC phono stage designed by Allen Wright. First 4 versions were actually not cheap and you can read review here, but the latest two versions are cheaper. Allen Wright is no longer with us, but his partner J.Ra... | |
| Gotta love Nelson Pass @whoopycat i guess so, but my source is analog only, no digital. Phono preamps will be connected to First Watt B1 buffer and it would be nice to judge the actual quality of the cartridge+phonopreamp. | |
| Gotta love Nelson Pass Right, current source amps vs. volage source amps is a big difference. Active gain preamps vs. passive preamps with no gain at all is a big difference too. He has passive preamps which became active after the volume turned up to 9 o'clock (the ale... | |
| Gotta love Nelson Pass Everything explained on firstwatt.com , even about discontinued models. For example my F2J current source power amp is designed for crossover-less, high sensitive speakers (full range drivers) and not suitable for the speakers with crossover. For ... | |
| Gotta love Nelson Pass I’m new to Nelson Pass stuff, being a tube guy i decided to try something different for my Zu Audio Druid speakers. I bought First Watt F2J current source power amp this month (only 100 made), then i quickly ordered the original First Watt B1 buff... | |
| Cartridge for stock Technics 1200G tonearm No problem, but 12cu is not the lowest compliance and normally low compliance cartridges are also too heavy for stock headshell to balance it. For example my low compliance Argent MC500HS is 8cu (7gr weigh) and it was impossible to use with most o... | |
| New Rega Planar 3 MM Cart recommendations You can find what you need at http://garrottbrothers.com/ The prices are in Australian Dollars (not US$) And if Garrott p77i is expensive for you, try Garrott K3 Garrott MM cartridges are great, i own p77 and love it. | |
| Cartridge for stock Technics 1200G tonearm It can be any mid compliance cartridge, just do not buy low compliance and high compliance cartridges. Recommendations are already on audiogon in many posts regarding this turntable and tonearm, use seach option. This is what has been posted recen... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? I think it’s not new that SAEC, SONY, even Technics comes with their own protractors for some reason, if we set-up those arms with their own "unique" protractors and then will put the needle on Stevenson, Baerwald, Lofgren if will be off! Why thos... |
