| Got the table now I need a good arm and cart combo Years ago I ran a Rock for a while. I removed the trough and ran an Eminent Technology air bearing arm with a Shure V15 Type 5 - actually sounded pretty good. ET's can be had quite cheap if you look. | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dertonam,Just to add my 2 cents - turntables owned - Linn, Pink Triangle, Sota, Oracle, Well Tempered, Roksan, Garrard 301 - current turntable used and much preferred is the Final Labs Parthenon - this is like a micro seiki steroids. It is in fact... | |
| Gyrodec Best Tonearm To Nandric,Advice has a c not an s.I am impressed that your advice is much better. At least I run my tonearms actually attached to the turntable.Cheers. | |
| Gyrodec Best Tonearm Instead of upgrading your tonearm, have you considered upgrading the Gyrodec with updated power supply/bearing/platter ? You might get a bigger return from power supply upgrades and or an overhaul of the Zeta by Audio Origami - bearing check and r... | |
| Does anyone have these Rega TTs? Friend had P5 with power supply and rega cartridge. Very well balanced and musical. Upgraded to the Groovetracer subplatter - this was a big improvement. Then went to Shelter 501 cartridge. Overall this was an excellent all round package. AB'd P5/... | |
| Decca cartridge experiences Hi, I've set up quite a few deccas. The most successful arms were the Zeta and the Dynavector arms. We used to get the cartridges rebuilt by the Garrot Bros who have since departed. Each cartridge was different, the best I heard was a Decca Maroon... | |
| Which monitors for my tube system in a large room? Compact floor speakers - Tannoy Kensington's are superb and well suited to the Leben. | |
| Which monitors for my tube system in a large room? Hi, I'm a big fan of the Proac Tablettes, you might cringe but you can fill the sound out with a small powered subwoofer tucked away. After a long trip round Proac EBS, Apogees, Martin Logans and finally Tannoy 15's I now realise how musical the l... | |
| MIT cables vs. Synergistic Research cables? For the level of equipment you own you should be looking at least at Shotgun MA or Magnum range. Try all MIT to assess it properly ie both interconnect and speaker cable.Good luck. | |
| phono stage / step up for Koetsu carts I've had excellent/best results with Koetsu's straight into tube preamps at 47k - magic with my Marantz 7 ( mounted on a Zeta tonearm ). Have had experiences with vintage Altec step up's - you really need to try before you buy, but my experience w... | |
| I NEED YOUR HELP with a turntable purchase Hi there,I have a Final Audio Labs string drive with Naim Aro, also Garrard 301 & 401 and various arms including unipivot, air bearing and gimble. I would not recommend any of these and many of the suggestions above simply because I believe yo... | |
| Turntable leveling... Easy way would be a make a shelf with adjustable feet to put under the turnable this will probably improve the sound. Also there is a Black diamond Racing cone kit for the Rega's that I think will provide adjustability for you to level it and prov... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System "The tonearm is now the centre of this ‘Turntable System’ and is the most important element. It must be rigidly held on a base which is perfectly flat, non-magnetic and relatively immune to structure-borne and air-borne feedback. This base must id... | |
| Natural and Neutral could be boring .. Hi I know most of the gear you have. Nobody hears the same things, ie one mans neutral is anothers coloured. The Pass Labs/Thiels are very neutral and clean to my ears if perhaps a little dry. However the Benz cartridges in general are very relaxe... | |
| upgrade phono stage ? If there is plenty of life in your cartridge then a phono upgrade would be my recommendation. However I agree with the above that get one that will last you a turntable upgrade. If it were me 2nd hand Lehman Black Cube, MS Phenomona or Ray Samuels... |
