| Help - Phono stages dying!! @lewm Lew,Could it be an RF spike from the TT/cartridge/cabling.Years ago I had a taxi driver on his RT outside my house just about turn my Apogee panels inside inside out. Nothing blew though.@mijostyn might have a point, If the integrated lines... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K @chakster I read the title of the topic and that's enough, $30k for turntable is insane even if "it's good based on your opinion". No its not insane. Some people appreciate products that are well built and sound excellent. And I don't understand w... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K @best-groove@@mijostyn@jrussell88@ebm Why do you persist in recommending solutions, when the OP has already posted that he has made a decision and has bought the Kuzma XL. Several people have already congratualted the gentleman.Do you not read the... | |
| The best TT system for under 30K @uwiik2Interestingly, I know someone here who moved from the Stabi Ref2 to the Stabi R, and was very happy. If you want to spend more than the new Stabi R then you should look at the new Stabi M, not the Ref 2. | |
| The best TT system for under 30K If you like the Kuzma sound, why not look at the new Kuzma R with 4Point11 arm - total cost US$16k. Leaves you plenty for a good cartridge as well. If you are looking at Kuzma cartridges - I heave heard both CAR40 & CAR50 on same deck with 4Po... | |
| Replaced my Ortofon Blue stylus today via plug and play swap in seconds All Moving Magnet and Moving Iron cartridges allow this. Stylus is user replaceable on all vintage and modern MM and MI cartridges. This is wrong. There are some MI with non user replaceable stylus. | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @daveyf No, I was authorised, invested in Linn set up jigs, training, the whole nine yards. They also pulled the same stunt on some of the other authorised dealers, the distributor simply saw an opportunity to nab all the retail margins for themse... | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @daveyf When they launched the Ekos, I had customers ready to go, and they refused to supply, expecting the customers to go to their distributor direct who also owned a retail outlet. Unfortunately for them my customers were so disgusted they move... | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? @daveyf For the record I'm not a car mechanic, and I was a Linn Dealer for a while - at their request - not mine. | |
| Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade? I learnt all I need to know about Linn when I restored my 1964 Fiat Bambina in the late seventies. Pulling the motor out to put a new gearbox in I must have undone many "locknuts".Lo and behold, some years later, the Linn Doctor called in the earl... | |
| EMT 75th Anniversary series... TSD75 SFL ... and a bit of history. @chakster The review of the 3 cartridges is specious in my view for the following reasons -All 3 cartridges are low compliance, the SME 2-9 is not up to the job.The AMG Giro is certainly better matched, but it is not reference standard.All 3 cartr... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. @atmasphere Nor me :) But it was obvious that the arm tube had resonance. If removing that 'killed the sound' clearly you have bigger fish to fry. Ralph, when I say killed the sound, in my experience the use of fluid damping on the SME V reduced s... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. @sokogearRega arms - my main experience goes back RB300/RB600/RB1000.When the first RB300's came out they were touted as a great giant killer. Whilst they were excellent bang for the buck I could easily demonstrate that more expensive arm with a m... | |
| What is it in MM that can give me goose-bumps? 🤔 What is it in MM that can give me goose-bumpsI cant answer that, MM's give me haemorrhoids, which is not something I like to scratch.LOMC's are the only cartridges which give me goosebumps, with one exception - the Moving Iron London Decca Gold ( ... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. Arms, I’ve had a fewAn oldy but never surpassed: Syrinx PU-2 or PU-3.I actually prefrred the PU2, musically better integrated across the spectrum, PU3 fiddly to set up optimally.I ran the SME5 for some years. It benefited greatly from the Sumiko A... |
