| Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity Looks like I have an LP-S on the way. | |
| Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity I have enjoyed a Ruby 3, and now have a line on a half-price 30-hour LP-s. It will cost me, all the same, about ten times the price of a re-tip on the Ruby 3. How shall I proceed? | |
| Looking for a Warmer Sounding Phono Cartridge If you want warm, and enjoy Koetsu already, I assume you are looking for an alternative to Koetsu, rather than asking us to say "More Koetsu!" I guess Benz Micro are renowned as warm MC cartridges. I'm biased towards MI cartridges, as their livel... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At @neonknight I like a BM Ruby? That is news to me. My apologies: it was @fleschler who likes his Ruby 3. | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At Curious, Raul. I went from the BM Ruby 3 that the OP likes, to an Ortofon Kontrapunkt C. At first I thought it was "scratchy" so detailed was the top end, but after a while I came to like it, and still do. All that was before I discovered the magi... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At Seems we are going off-topic again! I used to subscribe to Gramophone, both for advice about recordings to buy, and for equipment reviews. In those days (1980's > early 1990's) it was a given that a serious UK listener owned a pair of Quad ESL6... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At Sorry, but that is not true. ESLs will move their diaphragms in an attempt to make bass and if you take a very near field measurement they would seem to be very accurate... until you move away from the speaker. Because they are dipoles there are ... | |
| New phono stage from SOTA I am aware of rumours that we may be dreadfully susceptible to subsonic vibrations, but have not yet heard of military research into ultrasonic warfare (and I assume that the military would be the ones to wish to exploit this if it were possible).... | |
| A Discussion About What Level Of Analog To Stop At I think we are touching on an old conundrum: whether to take the Dionysian or Apollonian approach to pleasure? Which is to say, shall we visit as many flowers as possible and drink the nectar from many, or simply sit on the best of them all and en... | |
| Vinyl Lovers Surely any ionising device works by splitting an atom or molecule into a positively charged and a negatively charged moiety? And they will recombine as soon as they can, unless by some means they are kept separate? Anyone who has rubbed a balloon ... | |
| Orb Audio DF-01iA+ Orb are willing to sell, but the price for a DF-01iA (not 'Plus') is $1665CDN, and then add duty and taxes, which will be 15% more, to a total of $1915CDN. I can't justify that. | |
| KLaudio or Degritter Mark II If you search this forum, @wizzzard who is a chemist, did a very good job of analyzing LAST. That man is in need of help! That is remarkably charitable, Neil. And as for help being needed, I recognise a fellow autistic, and would help but it... | |
| Thoughts On Turntable Clamps And Weights What I have will have to do for now. I'm going back to my blissful ignorance where I enjoy music and have nothing to worry about. :) For shame! Next you'll be telling us to stop worrying and enjoy the music! | |
| Orb Audio DF-01iA+ I can order one through a US dealer for $1350USD plus tax, shipping, duty. They can be had for as little as $1200CDN on eBay, but they are the Japanese 100v version, not modified for 120v. They say they use semiconductor films for heating the glas... | |
| Vinyl Lovers Sorting vinyl? Reminds me of Nick Hornby's book High Fidelity (definitely read the book, not watch the movie), in which the main character's life revolves (!) as it were, about his efforts to find the best way of arranging all his vinyl albums. N... |
