| Audio Technica AT-33PTG vs Denon 103R cartridge Stanwal: The 33PTG has different (better) cantilever and stylus than the EV = better sound. Built like a Bently too. Schubert: I understand what you mean, though IMO the AT33PTG sounds REALLY good playing anything. The 103(R) is limited to "rockin... | |
| Audio Technica AT-33PTG vs Denon 103R cartridge I've owned/used both for substantial time periods.This is a "no contest" with the nod going to the AT33PTG.In my informed opinion it sounds better than the Denon 103R in every way. | |
| Headshell wire broke Nottingham cartridge pins are fragile and prone to break off of their wires if not handled quite delicately. Solder the lead back on - the VERY thin wire may need to be stripped of about 1/8 inch of insulation to accomplish this. Be careful of how... | |
| Adding a sub - what will I loose? The quality of the high pass filter to your main speakers is of primary importance. I do mine with a super high quality resistor/capacitor network (latest nude Vishay and Mundorf Silver/Gold). The high pass filters built into most subs suck big time. | |

| HELP Rega P-7; VPI Classic 2; Scout 2 or ? In this price class the Well Tempered Amadeus stands tall.I've owned TT/arms costing nearly 3 times the WTA and it is without a doubt the best of the bunch. | |
| VPI Classic vs. Well Tempered Amadeus I've had my WTA for a couple of weeks now and am using a Decca London Super Gold cartridge with it - sounds like a marriage made in heaven!I've owned many turntables over the years, including a VPI Scout, some costing multiples of the WTA. Based o... | |
| RCM recommendations Another vote for VPI 16.5. | |
| Vinyl lovers I must be crazy Short answer: Get a turntable!There is such a vast disparity in the musicality between what we hear from LPs and digital (and the digital playback is not "low rent")that digital is mostly for background music and those times when one does not want... | |

| loading resistor question Huh? | |
