| Denon | 110th Anniversary | Silver-Graphite Headshell and DL103 Denon DL103DIt was introduced in 1977 and discontinued about 20 years later. The main feature is flat frequency response up to 65kHz. No its not, not even close.I got offered a stash of NOS 103D's in the early 2000's - went through each box and ch... | |
| Opinion on SME 15 @tobes Since you already have a fairly good front end, you will have to be careful you do not go backwards.My experience with SME, beautifully built, superb service and support.However sound wise I sold my Platine Verdier to someone who had the S... | |
| EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history. @chakster I see you like house plants.You should try some Mother in Laws Tongue ( Snake Plant ) around your amplifiers - they are used by NASA in sensitive areas to soak up stray electromagnetic radiation. There are a few plant species that have t... | |

| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms @syntax He also offers the option for direct wiring …. Hm….is it blasphemy to think about it?That is an intersting question. I had 2 FR64S one silver wired, one copper wired. I sold off the copper version - it was not in the same league in terms o... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system @chungjhYou can get the SME V serviced by SME.If you got the Sota brought up to date and the SME V serviced, you will end up with a great turntable/arm combo that should last you a lifetime and with full service records, be very saleable if you de... | |
| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges @scothurwitz Yes.Originally the owner purchased the Moerch DP8 12" based on reviews and suitability for the medium compliance Colibri. This sounded very quick and quite neutral in balance.Then he becme interested in the Kuzma 4Point so I installed... | |
| Basis Super Arm 9 Not only is it not worth the cost but the Schroder CB is a better arm at a much better price.So what turntable and cartridge was used when you heard a comparision of the Schroeder CB and the Basis Superarm.What differences did you hear. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @ledoux1238Yes there were quite a few ET2’s in the mid 80’s here.There are a few Transfi Terminators - I think primarily because the entry level price was quite modest and accessible compared to the ET2 which is quite rare now.Unfortunately Owen p... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @ledoux1238Yes condensation can be an issue, I use a regulator/water extraction just prior to the entry point to the bearing. I live in a high humidity environment. | |
| Basis Super Arm 9 I do not believe there will be an improvement in sonic performance worth the price. But you have never heard it, you cannot know this.Most who have upgraded from the Vector say the arm is a substantial upgrade, including experienced reviewers.You ... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system You can get headshell spacers/weights on eBay.Google "Pats Audio Turntable Headshell Weight - 3 grams" from Scottsdale Arizona. | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Triplanar will fit on a Sota Sapphire -https://www.stereophile.com/tonearms/the_tri-planar_tonearm/index.htmlAlso no problem Cosmos or Millennia either.In the old days Wheaton used to supply precut armboards for Sota’s..All you need to do is order... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system @chungh I hgave owned the Sota vacuum and am very familiar with the TT and the Sumiko arm.In my view before you look at cartridges, you will get a better result if you do the following -Step 1 - get the Sota brought up to current spec - Sota will ... | |
| Leben Phono Stage I had a friend who owned the Leben along with a few other phono stages. For me it was disappointing, lacking transparency and low level detail. Given the Octave is not a budget unit I would be weary of upgrading to the Leben - you might find it is... |
