| Cartridge wars I second the recommendation of the J. Allaerts MC1B. However, the pricetag of $2300 is more than double your budget. I've been listening to one for the last two months. It clearly outperforms the cartridges that I've had. (Denon 103, 103D, Shelter... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation for Audio Note Turntable You can get the Denon 103D, which is a medium compliance cartridge. That would work with the RB300 pretty well. It would be around $330. It's available from the U.S. Denon Service Center in California.You still need to address the gain issue thoug... | |
| What's a good step-up transformer? I just saw that audiocubes started carrying the top of the line Denon AU-S1 step up transformer.http://www.audiocubes.com/product_info.php?cPath=44_74&products_id=469This transformer was available only in Japan. From what I've read, it is very... | |
| Pushed out by a 0.2 MC cart ? I second/third the responses so far. Get a step-up transformer.It made a world of difference for me. I had a DL103 going thru an ARC PH3, which didn't have enough gain. The sound was unimpressive until I bought a step-up transformer. (I got a Deno... | |

| Newbie to analog: Hi end rigs $2-5K on used market I would highly recommend the Nottingham Spacedeck/Spacearm combo (around $2000 street price) + Shelter 501 ($700).You would have to spend a lot more to get the same performance of this table/arm/cartridge. | |
| Can hear TV or Radio station via Phono stage ??? I have the same problem with RF noise between a Kora Eclipse pre amp and my Music Hall MMF7 turntable. I found that shielding the interconnects work the best, but still does not completely remove RFI.After getting fed up, I bought an ARC PH3 phono... | |
| EAR 834P vs. Audio Research PH-3 I've upgraded my PH3 from Sovtek to Amperex BB 6dj8s. The BB sounded worse...thin and lifeless. I've put the Sovteks back. | |
| Anyone use a Pledge "Grab-it" on their vinyl? I use it. It works great. Just make sure you use the DRY type. Those work on static alone. They also have the WET type, which is pre-soaked with Pledge.I found that they work better than the record brush. After a cleaning with my VPI 16.5, I give ... |
