| Which Tube Phono Stage around $1k? I recently heard a mod'ed EAR 834p that a friend brought over to try in my system. It was an absolutely fantastic phono stage which now has me looking into one. I will probably opt for a mod'ed 834p instead of a used P5. I've heard the older Wrigh... | |
| How good is the phono card in BAT pre-amps? Gjrad, were you using low output MC cartridges with the P5 and the 834p? | |
| How good is the phono card in BAT pre-amps? Thanks for the reply. I just wanted to throw the question out there and see how it compares. Something tells me I'll end up with an EAR 834p and try to get it upgraded. | |
| Problems with Arcam Gear/U.S. Distributor My brother sent a CDP back for repair and it took forever to finally get back to him. Fortunately the local dealer stepped up and provided a loaner until the unit was returned. | |
| Von Schweikert VR-8 Owners Is this an older model your asking about? What are you expecting to read here? Need to be more specific. | |
| 2-channel listening with a sub-woofer Yup, just inserted dual subs into the system.Prior to this I tried, unsuccessfully, to integrate a single large driver subwoofer that never blended with the rest of the system. After that experience I just figured subs were not "high end" and it w... | |
| From DL-103r to Dyna17Dmk2...?? With my uni-pivot JMW 9 Signature and the Karat I've had no problems with the Karat tracking, and I've had my fair share of new LPs with some warps in them lately. Actually only time I had any trouble was when I was experimenting with anti-skating. | |
| Tracking Force for Denon DL-103r Excellent work Tobes! | |
| From DL-103r to Dyna17Dmk2...?? Tobes - the Karat has very good bass response and exhibits bass/midbass texture very well but lacks a little in the bass slam department. This does not bother me too much mostly because of the type of music I listen too. So don't dwell on that too... | |
| From DL-103r to Dyna17Dmk2...?? I switch between those same two cartridges and sometimes I have a hard time chosing between the two. The Karat is quieter in the grooves with a slightly more pure midrange. Other than that they are fairly close in performance. | |
| Denon 103R cart with Scoutmaster and Black Cube SE You'll need some weight on a standard JMW 9 arm, like the headshell weight from VPI, or move up to the Signature arm. I've got the same combination (Signature arm) and I switch between a 103R and a Karat...sometimes its hard to chose a winner betw... | |

| Tracking Force for Denon DL-103r The SFG-2 runs about 0.3g high eh? Maybe I'll have to buy some calibrated weight to try on mine. Any ideas where I can buy a 1 or 2 gram certified weight?I agree it can't be the most accurate gauge, but I assume it gets you in the ball park, from ... | |
| jewelers loop Isn't this interesting....I just ordered a 20x and a 30x jewelers loop a few days ago. I will post back in a few days, maybe a week, from now and let you know how it goes after I can spend some time toying around with it. I did find a reasonable w... | |
| What's your experience with the Rotel RCD-1072? I've not heard the Adcom DAC...but have compared the Rotel 1072 to the Arcam CD73t (pretty sure thats the model, their $699 version) and liked the Rotel better. I assume you intend to use the Rotel as a stand alone player and not just as a transport? |
