| SDS or phono stage I have the VTPH-1MC and I can't imagine a better phono stage and I've spent thousands in the past.... and everyone says VTPH2 is better. You'll love it and Keith is a fantastic person and very helpful. If it's used, have him go through it if you d... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." Um, it's not research, dude. It's listening. | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." Not only better than 10x5 but also DV20. I was using the DV20 with a P75 phono pre and started messing around with the DL103. Once nuded, it killed the DV20. Since upgraded to an EMT cartridge but the DL103 does some things just as well. I plan to... | |
| Michell Gyro SE-what arm? I had good luck with unipivots, especially the Morch UP4 and DP6. | |
| Turntable upgrade, tweaks, or stay put? Is your phono pre built into the KW500? The best bang for your money would be a good tubed phono preamp. | |
| Random Static Hits Moonguy, do you have a humidifier? I just bought a bigger one the other day and so far so good. | |
| Random Static Hits Thanks for the suggestion. GG makes me nervous given all the money and time I spend keeping the LPs clean. Isn't there some degrading of sound? I've done a seach and there's a lot of controversy about GG. | |
| Interesting analog experience The value of analog v digital isn't measured in 20 minute increments. There's no reason why someone can't enjoy digital more than analog for a particular song, record, group of records. It's really about the long term listening experience. You cou... | |
| Random Static Hits As soon as I pressed send on this post, the pops returned. I want to hang myself. | |
| Random Static Hits Furutech arrived. Static gone. I guess you get what you pay for. Even my A23 mat, which has been wavy with static is lying flat. Amazing. | |
| Harbeth sound with high wife acceptance factor? Interesting because I just bought C7s because my wife liked the looks so much better than the SF Cremona Auditor. I was fine with it because the C7s are so much easier to drive. I put mine on Foundation stands and I move them in and out of the lis... | |
| Random Static Hits Hmm. Still not completely gone. Maybe it's time for the Furutech. Seems like the humidifier is what helps the most. If I leave it on all day, evening listening is static free. By the morning, the static has returned since I can't keep it on overni... | |
| Random Static Hits Zerostat here. It works, although some LPs the static returns by the final groove... but a major improvement. I'm sure as I perfect my technique, things will get better. That and a good rain. So Cal has been glorious every day this month but it's ... | |
| Random Static Hits Zerostat comes today. I've also tried cleaning every record before I play it on my Loricraft PRC3. The first song is usually fine but by the end of the LP, it's pop city again. | |
| Joule-Electra. Is it still in businessd? I've had both experiences. I couldn't get an answer from them a couple of times then I sent them an email saying I was going to sell my equipment if I couldn't get service and he responded immediately and very helpfully. It's weird. |
