| NOS cartridges I would suggest you read the many many pages on the "Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?" threadI have bought 3 NOS MM's that are over 20years of age and they play just fine | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? thnx Jasper, you still kill me on idler tables thou:-) Lewm If you read the vintage knob link at the beginning, it has been updated to include the diffences between the P3 & p3a - they only real audible changes according to the Pioneer techs w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Axel I am sure you are hearing what you are hearing, however system setup and tonal qualities will play a major part in any ultimate musical output. I would say that the total SS amplification chain you, Raul and others use may make the MM's so... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Hi Lewn, Siniyl - thanks Yes I do have a P10 as well, however I had the opportunity to get the P3 and could not pass it up. I am not that concerned about P3 or p3a as they are almost the same. s/n ratio is the same. Only difference was in 1980 wa... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Well I managed to pick up an Exclusive P3 and have been playing it for just over a week now. Built like a tank, looks gorgeous and has great in built isolation. What a great table period and I am a very happy chappy. Obviously early days, but I fe... | |
| Upgrade from TW Acustic Raven AC-3 to what? If you have the money to spend, I see no issue in going to Black Night or the da Vinci to match your tonearm / cart combo and both should do more of what you are looking for. Dgad might want to add some comments here as he has gone from AC-3 to BN... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Excel I think you will really like the MP-50. It is the only MM cart I have heard so far that combines a nice 3d image combined with transparancy and life of a LOMC. That said, compared to the recently released Ortofon MC A90 it is just another go... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? 2nd hand Pass Xono - perfect choice | |
| platter mats for dd turntable? Info from Kevin at KAB about the diameter of mats for the 1200." I am seeing lots of discussion on platter mats and I wanted to clarify some things. First some observations on the '1200 platter and the raised outer edge. The outer edge is raised o... | |
| Audio Research PH7 versus Manley Steelhead ? I have heard the PH7, Rhea and Steelhead in my system.IMO if you don't have any issuesd with the lower than normal MJC gain of 57.5db the ARC PH7 is the best sounding unit of the lot. More organic. I found the Rhea noisy with LOMC's, the PH7 is no... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base Dsa - not sure I can add any value to the SME thread. I own the Ortofon AS-309 12 inch arm. Sounds fine with rock/alternative however. Just been playing some new Morrissey & Bloody Beetroots on it. Who said SPU's can't rock!! | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base I don't think Grand Prix Audio has made themselves rich out of designing the Direct Drive Monaco turntable at 20K. There is no way in hell that any of the Japanese companies will make any high end turntables for such little perceived returns. | |
| Present analogue play back designs....Advanced? My 30 year old Exclusive DD P10 is in the same ball park sonically as my TW Raven AC-3 - abeit slight differences in overall presentation. Back in the mid/late 70's there was a lot more R&D spent by the big Japanese manufacturers than almost a... | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? One of my audiobuddies owned a ASR Basis Exclusive. He sold it for a Audia Flight phono. The Audio Flight is superior in every music making aspect. I gotta hear the Audia Flight myself | |
| Phono stages belong to which tier? Hmmm Are you splitting between MM & MC phono stages? With anything the following is based on what I heard in my system with MC cartridges - mainly my dyna XV-1.I currently own a TW Acustic phono - wonderful phono stage, natural presentation, p... |
