| Doge 8 or YS A2 or Jungson J2? I just ran across a Doge 8 review in Arthur Salvatore's High End Audio website. Its at the top of the class B section below a $36,000 Jadis preamp! Heres the link to it:http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-Preamplifiers.html#ClBIts not his review but s... | |
| Phono Stage Hum It might be those Zu Xaus cables. Are they shielded? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,You are absolutely correct with your assessment of MM cartridges. Recently I sent my London Decca Jubilee($3000 USD) off for repair and installed an original NOS 1980's Garrott Bros. P77 that I bought on Ebay for $130 after reading about your... | |
| MM vs MC Another consideration is the output of your phono stage. This would indeed dictate what cartridge you should buy.Steve | |
| Micro Seiki RX5000 I just googled it and found this on the first page. From Germany:http://www.hifi-studio.de/hifi-klassiker/micro_seiki_rx5000_ry5500.htm | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare Dopogue- here's the quote from Robyatt:09-15-08: RobyattI actually like the Gold better than all but the Reference. They fit great in the RS-but BIG experimentation, to stop gound hum! The Reference is an exact fit for the RS back holes, butslight... | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare Its always good to hear from other Decca fans! I think they are criminally overlooked and under-reviewed. Some of this is a result of QC and tracking problems back in the day. Dopogue describes them very well: "exceptionally dynamic, involving, an... | |
| Decca London Gold cartridge nightmare MY guess would be that the problem is the Lenco arm. Decca carts, especially if you bought an older one, only respond well with certain arms and are especially suited to damped arms. The newer Decca's have a line contact cantilever/stylus and tend... | |
| Does colored vinyl sound as bad as picture discs? Inpepinnovations post above is the most accurate and correct answer. As far as picture discs go, normally they sound terrible. However, recently I bought one that sounded fantastic, almost like a master tape, except for an excessive amount of back... | |
| Ultimate Idler Drive Robyatt,I know what you mean about Decca cartridges, there is nothing quite like them. I have the Jubilee. It sounds like a master tape at times, and I have a modest system. I have often wondered if the RS Labs tonearm would accommodate the newer ... | |
| Cassettes.......pre-recorded and otherwise.... Cassettes are, believe it or not, making a small comeback recently with underground music and DIY musicians who have some recorded tracks that are not worthy of a vinyl pressing, or small labels that want to produce something on the cheap and easy... | |
| understanding phono cartridges I'm a London Decca fan(moving iron), but this thread really opened my mind up as to what is possible on a modest budget with mm:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1200430667Steve | |
| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp Well, I purchased some NOS 6h-23 Russian "Rocket Logo" Platinum Grade bought from Upscale Audio, 3 tubes for $100 delivered. They sound great! Crisper highs, more defined midrange, a fuller three dimensional sound, and yet great slam factor in the... | |
| Tube Rolling In Audio Research Phono Preamp Wow, thanks to everyone for all the great replies! I had a feeling that your opinion may differ from ARC's. I will give some vintage tubes a go, possibly Amperex white label PQ's.Steve | |
| Denon 103R with well tempered classic arm Taksil,I would try emailing Marigo to see if he has any. If you need me to measure the heights of the cones feel free to ask. It can still be done with other cones. The ones that I used previous to the Marigo were By "Audio Selection" made in W. G... |
