| Putting together turntable rig Didn't know you collect Vodka. Can’t help you, I prefer white wine. How a good vodka can help in discovering NOS cartridges you should ask your friend. | |
| Putting together turntable rig Dover, you are such a Sherlock Holmes, so I must be a millionaire according to your private investigation, bravo. How many cartridges per month do I sell, please tell me? I want you to recall my audiogon buyers, please. It’s funny to read you comm... | |
| Putting together turntable rig Of course you would say that because you peddle cartridges on eBay etc after recommendng them on this forum. You have a vested interest in that false argument.Please post links to my sales on ebay or elsewere before you make such a blank statement... | |
| Putting together turntable rig If you have no idea about cartridge yet, but already mentioned some tonearms, I want to say that tonearm and cartridge must be matched to each other (moving mass vs. compliance). You already have MC cartridge (Hana) and this particular cartridge c... | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 Currently using the ATArt9xa which is a ultra low compliance cartridge... probably you tried to say it’s low output | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 It’s great without PSU, but for the price I paid directly from Italy without VAT in the price for PSU it was a steal :) | |
| Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2 I use Gold Note PH-10 with PSU-10 with many different LOMC cartridges, this is the most flexible MC phono stage, if you want to try different gain and different loading “on the fly” from 22 ohm to 47 000 Ohm get the Gold Note. I have 3 more MC pho... | |
| Upper Level Vintage DD Strenghts and Weaknesses I know, but you know Azden as Acutex because you're in America. In Japan the brand is Azden and Piezo is the name of the model with index 320X, it's IM cartridge. It's the same story as Vicor = JVC, Jeweltone = Nagaoka, Edison = Miyajima ... Azden... | |
| JVC TT 71: buy now for spare for my or TT81? There is a better plinth for DP-80 for two tonearms. In my opinion 3 tonearms on one plinth is too much, better to buy additional turntable. Any tonearm switched 180 degree is not user friendly, a 3rd tonearm on one plinth is always turned 180 deg... | |
| Upper Level Vintage DD Strenghts and Weaknesses My point is that I think you would have more fun investigating vintage moving magnet and moving iron cartridges and stick with later production moving coil types, say from the 1990s onwards to the present. Definitely, my recent discovery is Azd... | |
| JVC TT 71: buy now for spare for my or TT81? Watch the bigs in the last 30 seconds, not one hour before the auction ending :)) You will be surprised. Not sure what’s the point to buy an inferior tt-71 or tt-81 if Denon DP-80 is better than all of them. TT-101 is the ultimate, but for a non w... | |
| Measuring VTF with electronic gauge.... I want to admit that I put my Ortofon digital gauge on my metal (or graphite) mats. So it’s not exactly the platter, because I do not remove the mats, but i definitely remove the record :)) | |
| JVC TT 71: buy now for spare for my or TT81? Wouldn’t the model with the heavier platter be best? No I don’t want to wrinkle anyones feathers but my GT-2000 is much superior sounding than the Victors! Something to think about. Did you try same tonearm and cartridge on Victor and Yamaha?Usual... | |
| Measuring VTF with electronic gauge.... It depends on the gauge, but most of the decent ones designed to be placed right on the platter and the pad for the stylus designed to be on the same level as the record top surface. The situation with some cheap Chinese gauges is different if the... | |
| JVC TT 71: buy now for spare for my or TT81? Here is my second TT-101 on the floor in my room. It’s working sample in original plinth, I prefer a plinth for one tonearm. My first TT-101 was shipped to JP Jones for repair and sold to another audiogon member in original plinth for 2 tonearms. ... |
