| Have you heard a VAS cartridge? I have NOT heard his cartridges, just ones with new cantilevers and tips. I'm lucky, live only 35 minutes from him, I’ll listen to one he rebuilt completely on his system when I visit him soon. I have heard two he re-tipped for my friend here in... | |

| Help me understand cartridge alignment you need a headshell with long slots that go further to the front. this one has azimuth adjustment, slors, and is plastic, so you could extend the slots or drill holes closer to the front if needed this one, also azimuth adjustment, ... | |
| Turntable Troubles - ProJect X2B vs Rega 6 w Kiseki Cartridge that is a very expensive cartridge to start with. I would recommend this Ortofon 2M Black, Shibata Stylus , added to a TT with removable headshell | |
| Turntable Troubles - ProJect X2B vs Rega 6 w Kiseki Cartridge I put this together in another discussion. Not meant to scare you, or anyone starting out, just to encourage everyone to learn, bit by bit, and acquire the simple tools and skills to change/align your cartridges after the first one is worn, (typi... | |
| Turntable Troubles - ProJect X2B vs Rega 6 w Kiseki Cartridge I am not a fan of any TT with an arm allowing only fixed cartridges. I suggest you look for one with a removable headshell. Initial cartridge also factory aligned. They work, factory aligned out of the box, great for a newbie, but after the init... | |

| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS Well, I skirt Boston when I visit my Mother and Brother in Maine. She will be 100 yrs old this coming Feb. I appreciate the offer. How far in from 495/95 are you? Perhaps we could work out a short visit on the way up or down. Let's move to priv... | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS This custom adjustable McIntosh unit is very interesting. Not for you, but others might find it tempting. Seems it is for BASS, either FLAT or boost, some or some more (not to cut bass) review https://www.kenrockwell.com/audio/mcintos... | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS I’m having fun looking on hifishark DBX, rack mount, balanced connectors This Sherwood starts at 16hz (scratched) | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS This one is also a line level input selector, has direct/bypass or EQ in, other features, also starts 32hz same seller, black he has new ones, not much more $, and he offers 30 day returns | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS Where do you live, I wanna hear that amp and those speakers!!! I’m in Plainfield, NJ, 07062 I might try a graphic equalizer, to ascertain if either boosting the mids a speck, or lowering the bass a bit would get a preferable sound out of those sp... | |

| Japanese Luxman Integrated Amps Exactly, as grizzly said: basic, just not cheap junk. I went with a small lightweight one at the end of a cord. It has zero hum, fits easily anywhere, i.e. right behind my turntable. I plug my 100v turntable into it, and plug it into the wall ou... | |
| Mid-fi tube vs high-end SS I like your amp, would not consider it mid-fi, a very nice mid-powered tube amp, which I suspect sounds very nice. A bit more power than my Cayin A88T using KT88s 45wpc. now, your BEAUTIFUL speakers, sensitivity 86 db is NOT easy to drive from a ... |
