| Anyone ever listened to a vintage Victor Laboratory X1 cartridge I own the X1mk2 - it is a so so cartridge and the one to go for is something else. | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? If you own the cartridge body then the best is to fix it with boron cantilever and MR stylus tip and not SAS boron. The Jico Boron/SAS is a boron cantilever with a microridge profile stylus - is there something I'm missing here ? | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? You can buy SUT with a phase equalizer option. @lalitk Can you give me an example. Are you sure you are not talking about running a zoebel network as recommended by Jensen - this is designed to minimise ringing and distortion inherent in the... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Several audiophiles on this " SUT's party " have any idea what I'm talking about when theyare so happy with those SUT they own that does not permits that the cartridge can shows at its best. That's correct. MC Step Up transformers are like can... | |
| Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? You have to know that the Denon AU-1000 weigths 12kg. ( not lbs. What a hoot Of course most of the 12kg is actually the gunmetal casing. The actual transformers are a fraction of this in weight. There's a sucker born every day. | |
| Clearaudio Clarify Help Needed! The thing at the end of the tonearm that Balthus is futzing with is not meant to be turned and I wouldn't be surprised if his futzing hasn't added to his problem. This comment is wrong. The adjustment of tracking force requires the knob on th... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I’ve been using a zero offset headshell for 38 years - the arm is a linear tracker. Superior tracking, most accurate soundstage and lowest distortion of any tonearm I have heard or set up ( including several highly vaunted pivoted arms in my tool... | |
| Mainstream Phono Stages Incorporating Premium Branded PCB Parts - Do They Exist? @wescoman Your first priority after deciding on your budget should be - Does it meet your needs taking into account your cartridge and the ensuing line stage. Sound quality ( in your system ) Build quality Unfortunately therein lies the rub -... | |
| upgrading systemdek iix worth it?.... @lewkor http://www.image99.net/blog/files/f233eea773cbc47d311b80d32702da48-40.html The standard classic, I'm not sure. You need to contact Audiomods and ask the following - VTA - I can order VTA Micrometer Adjuster on the new Classic ? cost ? ... | |
| upgrading systemdek iix worth it?.... @dlewkor Your welcome. I put an older model Audiomods on a $15k Platine Verdier TT that I sold to a friend and it was excellent - fantastic value for money and punches well above its weight. The classic will be even better with the updated bearin... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Personally I'm not interested in pursuing the Viv, but for all the naysayers, if you find the Viv concept so egregious, why are you still running any pivot arm. A linear tracker has 0 tracking error, no skating forces to contend with, and if accu... | |
| upgrading systemdek iix worth it?.... Origin Live Encounter UK$1550 ( US$1983 ) Audiomods 6 UK$1085 ( US1388 ) Audiomods Classic UK$695 ( US$889 ) Audiomods Classic would upgrade the Systemdek substantially. | |
| upgrading systemdek iix worth it?.... Is the basic turntable good enough to warrant installing the Originlive Encounter tonearm? No. It is a midfi TT similar in performance to something like a Rega P6 or P8. If you are going to spend a couple of thousand - buy a better TT. Having... | |
| Recommend an MC cartridge @dwcda At $5k you should look at the Etsuro Blue ( Cobalt ). Resolving and very musical. It is a substantial upgrade from the Hana's ( which are the Etsuro designers lower range ). Personally I found the MSL nice, a little bit of warmth in the ... | |
