| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge I've heard tell of this stylus going as far as 1000 hours and more. In fact, I had a DL-160 once (bought it along with a DP-47F turntable) with about 500 hours and my dealer told me the stylus was just beginning to show some wear and that I could ... | |
| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge I'm not sure it's worth it to bypass your local dealer to save a measley $12. Someday we'll turn around and they won't be there anymore.My guy mounts and aligns the cartridge with a Dennesen rig for no additional charge and he used to take care of... | |
| Review: Grado Prestige Black Cartridge Grados may hum on a Technics deck. I've used a Black p-mount on a Technics SL-DL1 direct drive linear tracker and hum wasn't really a factor. I never got to try one on my SL-1200 Mk2. You can try shielding the motor. You can also try one of the lo... | |
| Small Floor Standers Given the source, how about spending a little less? Mission M31i is an excellent speaker that you can find very affordbaly (well under $300 a pair, sometimes less than $200 if you really shop around) and they are an excellent rock and jazz speaker... | |
| Review: Audio-Technica USA AT ESCMG29 Cartridge Fun stuff! A great post and wonderful to read. There's no better feeling than happening on a great-sounding bargain, whether it's a garage sale receiver or a NOS cartridge for $10! Someday, I'll tell you the story of the Linn Axis I found at a yar... | |
| Review: Denon DL-160 Cartridge The HK input should be fine. In fact, you should treat the DL-160 like a moving magnet in most cases. For instance, if you have a phono pre with only an MM/MC switch, you should always use the MM setting as its high output will likely overload the... | |
| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge Adcom, Levinson, McIntosh...they've all given up their MC cartridge line. I think it's wonderful that Denon still contributes a product like this. Sure, it's not altruism...the line is profitable. But that's because the design is great and Denon c... | |
| Review: Initial DMA-710 Mini DVD HT System Video It's been over 2 years since I bought the Initial. I use it a few times a week to play DVDs and my girlfriend plays CDs on it. So far -- reliability has been surprisingly good. The drawer tends to close by itself sometimes these days, but it conti... | |
| Review: Music Hall MMF-2.1 Turntable http://www.audioclassics.com/detail.php3?detail=PLX55&nav=catSony -- I think they mean to say PS-X55, not PLX55. If I'm right, goof little TT for $29 in B1 condition. Plus, AC is a Grado dealer...have them mount a Blue and for under $130 inclu... | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? $249 from Audio Advisor...40wpc, two sets of speaker connections, aluminum remote control, great fit and finish and nice British sound for a song. The best value in the world if you're really pinching pennies. Had one for a few months and loved it... | |
| Review: Harman Kardon T-60 Turntable You may want to check for donor units...the T-35 on up shared a lot of parts. | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable When I said the results were "okay" I was referring to the COMPLIANCE match between the cartridge and arm, not the resulting sound quality of a given setup taken as a whole. The post you're referencing deals specifically with the quality of the Te... | |
| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge I agree completely...I've been buying the DL-110 lately because I simply can't hear much difference though I can't say what might happen if I auditioned them back to back.I've never heard the Ortofon X5-MC but I've owned two X1-MC carts with the s... | |
| Review: Technics SL-1200Mk2 Turntable It's possible the Technics arm might outperform a Rega -- but only with the high compliance cartridges it was designed for use with. That's fine if you want to restrict yourself to low to mid-priced moving magnets from Shure, Ortofon, Stanton, etc... | |
| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge Having owned a number of turntables from $500 to $1000 (Rega P2, Rega P3, Linn Axis) and quite a few from $0 to $500 (Dual, Thorens, Harman/Kardon) I have to agree with Ferrari's statement that there isn't NECESSARILY a performance gap between uni... |
