| Understanding cartridges ? I found it on vinyl asylum. The compliance is listed there as 25x10-6 (high). I thought that it would be a high compliant cartridge, but it is nice to see the numbers. | |
| Understanding cartridges ? Thanks for the link, Bob. I'm glad I learned something about this before I purchase a second cartridge for my mmf-7. I have been able to find that the Project 9 arm is 11 grams and thus a medium mass arm. I have not been able to find the complianc... | |
| What cartridge for MMF-7? Tom,Would you recommend a low output MC cartridge for the Project 9 arm and is there a tube phono stage that does a really good job with both MM and MC? I am scouting an upgrade path and it would be nice to get the phono stage now and latter upgra... | |
| Understanding cartridges ? So how do you determine if an arm is low/med/high mass? | |
| Anybody using Audio Advisor's Record Doctor II? Find an old vacuum cleaner and build your own for less than $50 if your handy. I still use the VPI brushes and cleaners, those do the real work anyway. | |
| What cartridge for MMF-7? You must have been reading my mind, Stuart. I have been contemplating this same question and would be interested to see what suggestions get posted here. I currently have a mmf-7 with a shure v15vxmr that the previous owner had chosen. I believe i... | |
| Planning to go analog Sorry if I misread you, smokester, but I get the impression that this will be your first turntable. (?) Assuming that this is the case I would ask Twl and other owners of higher end tt's if it is advisable for a "first-timer" to get a table such a... | |
| Two Stereo Amps, Bi-amp or Monoblock? I went through this bridged/biamping decision within the last few months. I had started by bridging my two Rotel 980BX's into a pair of Totem Rokk's. Obviously I didn't need the power for these speakers, but I wanted to see what difference shorten... | |

As far as woodworking being cheaper, have you bought any wood lately? It's not cheap anymore and I buy rough stock.I don't deceive my wife about ... | |
| anyone familiar with Rotel phono stage? Thanks Blw,I don't expect much from this phono stage, just enough to get started. As long as I have owned it I have never had a turntable connected to it. I suppose that I should start with either a MM or high output MC and get a good arm for thes... | |
| ceiling model material for Cara? Thanks for the tips. I am only using the room ambiance tool for now to try to get a handle on what treatments would be most effective. I reran the sim using Rives suggestion about treating the drop ceiling as a hovering abject and the results wher... | |
| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted sunnyjim,www.audioc.com There is a price sheet as well. Looks like the Talisman is about $8K. | |
| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted That's the thought I had. The "head light" theory, if you will. When one goes replace both. | |
| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted Recent snows have kept me from making progress on the speaker upgrade search.Totem says they will sell me replacement drivers for $90 each. Maybe it's worth replacing the mid-range in both speakers at the same time to keep them balanced. What do y... | |
| Time to replace speakers, suggestions wanted Absolutely. I don't buy anything I haven't heard. I am trying to find places within my home area, southern N.H., to audition the speakers I am interested in. Some makes are easier to find than others. I have heard Thiel, Revel, Aerial, and the Aer... |
