| Anyone Know Where I should Look to Figure Out This Hum? Still using the cheater plug and have since heard from two Lamm owners that have had to float a ground for some reason and a few that haven't in old homes. It's all a mystery and yet it really doesn't matter. I would be hard pressed to imagine a b... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Which retipper are you using? | |
| Any Fatboy Unipivot Users? @mijostyn I love your absolute terms. "A lot better" "Compromised". As if you've heard a single one of them in your home with your system. I doubt it. I'm replacing an SME M2-12r, not that I give two **its to justify myself to you. I change things... | |
| Any Fatboy Unipivot Users? Thanks for answering a question I did not ask. I've used a few unipivots in the past and had none of these issues you speak of. I understand they are tricky for some but my Naim Aro, Moerch DP6 and JMW 10 all sound great and are easy for me to han... | |
| Got a new (to me) VPI Aries for Xmas... what’s the arm upgrade path? Went with the Fatboy Unipivot. It's a great match for my Decca cartridge and works well with the Denon 103 too. Figured I would be upgrading there eventually so why not just pull the bandaid off and do it! | |
| What's your "buy one of these and get it re-tipped" cartridge suggestion for a DL103 fan? A friend has one and I am trying to get away from that sound. Great cartridge but I already have a Decca Super Gold with a paratrace stylus that sounds similar, but better to my ear. I’m trying to find more of a less is more cartridge like the DL103. | |
| What's your "buy one of these and get it re-tipped" cartridge suggestion for a DL103 fan? I'd like to keep the cartridge and the retip under $800. | |
| Flexible Shielded Tonearm IC? Thanks for all the suggestions! Looking into them all and buying something today. | |
| What's your "buy one of these and get it re-tipped" cartridge suggestion for a DL103 fan? @rdk777 Thanks but this is the kind of outlay I’m trying to get away from. I’m looking for great sounding reasonably priced cartridges to retip. A neighbor mention the Yamaha MC1. Going to do some research on that.... | |
| Got a new (to me) VPI Aries for Xmas... what’s the arm upgrade path? Basically as I understand it. Not sure yet whether it’s a special order version because the side weights in the standard version may be too big to fit and bump into the VTA column. | |
| Lamm LP2/2.1 vs Luxman EQ-500 I own an LP2 and have never heard the Lux. I took at look at it though and it’s very similar in some ways. Tube rectified, which is a must for me, low output level for MM so you can use a Decca cartridge if you want. But they are two different bea... | |
| Degritter brand ultrasonic record cleaner I've had mine for a few months. It's the best purchase I've ever made and the company is great. I did have a bad power switch that crapped out after 2 months. They quickly sent me a new switch and simple instruction on how to pop it on. Very respo... | |
| Pure tube phono preamp Find a used Lamm LP2.1. I've listened to dozens of phono preamps and that fits your budget and is quiet and handles low output MCs. Also sounds better than anything else I've heard. | |
| Know Anyone in the Los Angeles Area that does SME Rewires? Problem further solved by moving the whole turntable. While the position isn't ideal, it's completely silent now. | |
| VPI Aries 1 Motor Hum? I only had to reposition the motor on the shelf and it went away. Weird how just a position on a shelf can make it stop oscillating. |
