Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
Logenn,Excuse the delay but I've been away and only just seen the response. Anyway, Raul's point is correct but apart from the fact that you can experiment with the set up the AC3300 is a double points oil damped tonearm and just about brings the ... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
Logenn,About the XV1s, if you can get hold of an Audiocraft AC3300 tonearm with the s-shaped armtube, please give it a go. In my experience, it also benefits from the use of a magnesium universal headshell. In this set up, I think that the dynamic... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Larryi,Honestly, my only concern/hope is that we all share the joy of beautiful music performed as well as we are able to obtain. Please try the Nagaoka MP-50 MM cartridge. Granted, I am listening to it loaded at 100k but it is truly phenomenal. I... 
Our home system: How good it is?
Dear Raul,Too true. My post-Audiogon move from valve amplification to solid state probably marks a full reappraisal of my listening habits and expectations. I'm now very happy to listen to the closest proximity to live music that my imagination ca... 
Our home system: How good it is?
Dear Raul,Your journey sounds thrilling and I wish I had the opportunity to listen to many of those great systems that you heard. With my increasing years and work demands I simply don't get the time to socialise with audiophiles over here but hav... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Sirspeedy,Thanks. My listening time is fulfilling if ever more obsessive. The Allaerts reminds me of a former girlfriend who needed much care and attention but gave great rewards when handled correctly. Oh fond memories! I would remind all Ikeda o... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Raul,First an apology: I had posted this on the wrong thread so repost here.Just a quick note to share a recent experience. As you know, I have been less than enamoured with my Allaerts MC2 Finish Gold preferring both my Dynavector XV1s and (... 
Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik
Dear Raul,Just a quick note to share a recent experience. As you know, I have been less than enamoured with my Allaerts MC2 Finish Gold preferring both my Dynavector XV1s and (amazingly, given costs) Nagaoka MP-50. Well, I still love the "being th... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Stringreen,Too true. Sadly, the Mambo might just be the best turn table in the world (I have tried many!) but if it's not playing, it's just a lump of extravagent metal.I'm now in hope of having this resolved and will keep all informed.Cheers and ... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
2002ss335, Blueranger, Heradot,Thanks for your kind feedback. I should say that my problems relate to the UK (particularly the importer and retailer with whom I have dealings. However, your accounts give me some faith.Please could you forward the ... 
Acoustic Signature Turntables
Todd,Thanks. I have had two incidents when my Alpha power supply has gone down and am again experiencing major issues in gaining assistance following the second failure. I am hopeful that this is a unique situation.I will therefore wait to garner ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
James,I can only give my experience of the MP50 but I find it a better performer than many of my far, far more expensive cartridges, including my Allaerts MC2 Finish Gold. A phenomenal performer when matched with good enough gear.Hope you enjoy as... 
Review: J&R Essential Essential 3160 Preamplifier
Hi Brizonbiovizier,Excuse the massive delay but I have been pre-occupied with work and life -and frankly haven't returned to this site for a while. I'm also pleased to say that a lot of my free time has simply been taken up listening to real music... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Plinko,I think we all share you priorities (among others). If you sort out your phonostage, you cannot go wrong with the Nagaoka. In fact you can get two distinct performance by exchanging the metal screws for the plastic ones - which you can get ... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
Just to note what I am now getting from using a pair of the Velodyne DD12 subs in stereo with my Talon Hawk monitors. I've used Audio Technica pneumatic footers beneath each sub and the sound is simply phenomenal. I think that the RL Hardesty arti...
