| Turntables New vs Used Uhhhmmmm. Palm Beach, uh. Sorry, think I'll pass. Not what it used to be, you know. | |
| A question for the Pro's in setting up analog good I'm guessing that the 1.5 listing is for a nominal force. You could try a few tenths above and below that without much worry, say 1.3 to 1.7. But you may want to just leave at 1.5 while you dial in VTA. Just remeber that a few small changes in VTA... | |
| A question for the Pro's in setting up analog good Hi again, Matrix.Here is a link that many of the A'gon experts turned me on to so I'll pass it along. Sorry, I'm too lazy to turn this into a hyper link. There is alot of very good information here and will answer your questions about adjustments ... | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck Hi Matrix,I used Cardas clips and Litz wire. I even changed out the RCA connectors with Vampires. Probably about $50 total and a couple of hours on a Saturday. You do need to be able to solder but nothing special about that. But you're right, you ... | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck I love my cats. They are not allowed in my listening room. But I do have the luxury of a dedicated listening room. You have to make a decision, if possible, to exclude the precious feline from the room while vinyl is spinning.That's my PC side. My... | |
| Differences between three turntables My .02, check out the Basis 2001 that is listed here on the 'gon. I have no affiliation with the seller or Basis, other than I am a former 2001 and MMF-7 owner.1st, it has the same motor that is used on the Basis Debut so there is no speed stabili... | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck Wow! That's a great deal. I think if you stay with any medium mass and high compliance cartridge the Project will do fine. As far as the Dynavectors, a well regarded A'goner once recommended a 10x4 to me for my MMF-7. I believe that is a high outp... | |
| I'm Stuck, MMF9 vs. MMF7 vs. Scout vs. Space deck I'll second Jependleton on the MMF-7. I'm not convinced that the MMF-9 is worth the extra money. I had a MMF-7 for a year and a half before I moved up to my Basis 2500. The 7 is a very good performer, perhaps a bit dark and speed challenged but no... | |
| importance of phono cartridge Alun, I would agree that the stand is very important. Especially considering non-suspended tables. However, there are very well designed suspended tables that don't much care what they sit on, within reason.I think this discussion has morphed abit... | |
| importance of phono cartridge As to your question. Let's assume that your price points do indeed translate to 3 times better performance from the arm and table. Also I'll make the assumption that we use the same middle of the road cartridge on both arm/table combos. In my expe... | |
| phono preamps with a subsonic filter? Another point to consider when dealing with sub-sonics and the woofer dance is to be sure that your amps can supply PLENTY and I mean PLENTY of current. Even though you don't hear anything, it is taking a boat load of amps to move those woofers. | |
| Need help, Have a new Phono stage need to set it. I would guess 47KOhms and about 40 dB for a start. If it sounds like it is too soft for an average volume setting then you can step the gain up accordingly. You're correct that the higher gains are for MC's. I am guessing that any MM cartridge tha... | |
| Need vintage idler drive help. No, Johnnatais, I don't mean to "snipe" at anyone. My appologies, I should have made that clear in my post. I thought this was going to be another thread on the "DD and Idlers are superior" theme. | |
| Need vintage idler drive help. Cute, but this theme is getting tired. I have Lenco. I can do just about whatever you want in a plinth. It sounds pretty good, but it's not replacing anything. | |
| The Cable Company - Wow Sorry. Speakers. I'm bi-amping, thus the discussion on seperation of HF and LF. |
