| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, To move forward with MM collecting I will fabricate a wand for my linear arm with a standard straight removeable headshell into a Technics receptacle. As I have no experience with removeable headshells, can you offer any specific recommen... | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit If you are a hiker, you have scaled false peaks that reveal other false peaks before the summit. The big questions of "What does the CD format really sound like?" or "What does vinyl really sound like?" are not answered at the false peaks. Climb t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have yet to get my old MM cartridges up and running, but it will be fascinating if the cartridge turns out to be the least significant variable in the equation of a modern analog system. In recent years cartridges have seen more price inflation ... | |
| Best Rock Albums in 2009, so far John Doe and the Sadies "Country Club". Very strong alt. country album with just enough of Doe's slippery blues guitar to quality as rock. Acoustic instruments in natural space & good SQ on YepRoc 180g LP. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Frogman, on P-76 I found that the stylus guard pulls out the stylus if the guard is upside down. I recall reading somewhere that output is around 1.25mV. | |

Has anybody done other than the (plastic?) adaptor sold by LPgear? I am considering the alternative of gluing a hardwood or alum spacer to the top of the cartri... | |

IME all the formats can be quite satisfying. As far as the record industry is concerned, in the current state of econ... | |
| Rolling Stones SACDS I have a half dozen of these SACDs from 2002. They are all gatefold cardboard with notation stenciled on disk "DSD This stereo hybrid SACD can be played on any standard Compact Dick Player; SACD, DSD, & SB Direct." With Aftermath there was als... | |

| VPI Super Platter - where is it? Buconero117, is HW now using different motors throughout the product line? Both 600RPM and 300RPM Hurst motors that I'm familiar with are comfortable with 40+ lbs. platters. | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Lew, See Allied Electronics p1069-1099 for many types with illustrations. | |
| Mini-Review of the Beresford TC-7520 DAC I was very impressed by the K Works modified Beresford DAC in demos at several audio club meetings. This is a unit worth rolling with mods costing several times its original price. | |
| Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit Pettyofficer, the blind testing I was referring to was used to compare coupling capacitors-- which may move some audiophiles to orgasm, while barely eliciting a yawn from non-critical listeners. I don't discount epiphanies in audio or in anything ... |
