| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) Without paying too much attention, my choices, I have never had resonance issues. I will rotate several existing and future cartridges, light tracking preferred: all at 1.25g. AT160ML Microline/Beryllium (2nd one arrived yesterday); Shure V15Vx... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) Many of us are aware it is the Victor 7045 and 7082 arms that have a rubber grommet, like the SME 3009 3012 arms, that isolates the rear counterweight section from behind the bearing and forward parts of the arm, and they deteriorate. SME’s concea... | |
| Piano high notes very bright Who else can help you listen, are the bothersome highs there for others, younger ears? After my SPL meter on a tripod, I use three albums I am most familiar with to help me adjust my tweeter’s level controls as my 76 year old ears don’t hear what... | |
| Perhaps the most annoying myth in audio of 2025? Talking about Loudness! exactly, "jl35 I always thought that that statement simply referred to a very brief audition, that if loudness level wasn't matched, the louder one would initially sound better on a very brief back-forth switch...not in reference to longer term ... | |
| Piano high notes very bright After comparing to Rexton and Philips 9050 via Costco (excellent hearing aid centers), a hard decision, I chose Audicus Omni Series 2 hearing aids that work via 'Hearing Remote' app via both apple and android smartphones (verify your specific mode... | |
| Victor UA-7082 Arm OR Micro Seiki MA505L ...? (both fit my existing alternate 270mm hole) Personal Experiences: Part of a smashed kit I bought and returned: It had a UA-7045 with a bad grommet, took it apart, measured, found rubber stepped washer fix at home depot, but returned the smashed kit, never installed/used it. I would use my ... | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? Tape I forgot to mention: Years ago, before they got expensive, primarily eBay I bought over 500 pre-recorded Reel to Reel Tapes (since sold over 200 of them) and moved up thru several generations of decks, stopped at Teac’s last Prosumer X2000R ... | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? My system started with wedding money age 19, became truly involving when I inherited my uncle’s Fisher President II Console age 25, all tube components with 4 way: 3 horns/15" woofer’s firing down. My current speakers still use those drivers. B... | |
| Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up I notice your ARC-Ref 3 preamp has remote balance, that will be wonderful, especially when using two amps. | |
| Moving from a stereo amp to a dual mono set up OP I am impressed with your ability to make it all happen simultaneously. Those are some impressive amps, congrats on finding a rare 2nd unit. I just glanced at this: Stereophile Review of Plinius SA Sometimes I recommend the idea of potential ... | |
| McIntosh C28 preamp and MC 2505 power amp landed in my lap I would only have them worked on if I might keep/use them: by McIntosh IF still working on those models, perhaps Audio Classics (down the road from McIntosh in Vestal, NY), however preferring tubes, I would not get involved with them. Even if you... | |
| I often notice that people who have open reel decks and/or tube equipment are nicest I have both, and enjoy helping others, and hopping about learning about other people’s equipment, posting fun finds, but I only recommend equipment I have personal experience with, so I feel like an 8 Track tape, endless repeat. Here he goes again... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please OP My system and speakers are very revealing, but I don’t hear differences between each different TT or Tonearm once setup properly. At 76 years old, I can still hear differences in cartridges, thus the TT/Tonearm is out of the way enough, doing ... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please I find this Micro Seiki a good combo of QLDD, separate power supply if you value that, and it has the Long Version of their 505L Arm. Check how the dust cover is wider than the plinth, only a small part rests on two fittings on the sides up front,... | |
| Vintage Japanese DD Consult and Suggestions Please Denon DP80 in a DK-300 Plinth is a simple solid option, there is enough availability/competition, a few people have chosen different arms, or you change to ......... I have only read about them. |
