| Tapping the Planet it skipps..... This is normal for the Planet. Always has been. The feet do all of the work in isolating the player; so taping the top of the unit will cause it to skip. This in no way means something is wrong with your player.Compare tapping the shelf it is on. ... | |
| Recommend a TT/Tonearm combo under $2000? Speed stability is not an issue with the P5/P7 Regas. They have corrected the common problem with the P3 (which is easily fixed with some electrical tape around the subplatter anyway). I won't recommend a particular table for you because I haven't... | |
| $100 Challenge: Build this system Thanks for the responses. I thought you'd have some fun with it.Some responses: 1. No, she does not want multiple speakers in multiple rooms. That would be ridiculous. She just wants it to be loud enough to listen throughout her apartment. Compute... | |
| Low output MC to match my phono stage Thanks for the quick responses, Nsgarch and Markd51. I suspected that what you say here is true, as I have been reading a bit of stuff over at Audio Asylum. I'll check out some threads here, too.At the time being, I am thinking of just trying out ... | |
| Low output MC to match my phono stage Below is the response I got from the US Plinius distributor. In short, the impedance is set for 47kOhms on both the "high" and "low" setting."If you change the phono gain of the 8200 MK II, it will not affect the cartridge loading of the phono sec... | |
| Low output MC to match my phono stage Nsgarch -- Right, thanks. Got that mixed up. I actually posed the question correctly (!) to Plinius. We'll see what they say... | |
| Low output MC to match my phono stage Thanks for the help thus far. Nsgarch, I believe you are right. This is how I should make sense of it. The manual states:"INPUT SENSITIVITY: 300 mV RMS for rated output at 1kHz. 1.5 mV RMS on Phono low gain setting. 0.75 mV RMS on Phono high gain ... | |
| Bent cantilever on Dynavector 10x5 Screwed? Thanks for all the feedback. I guess I'll look into repairing it to at least see how much this would cost. 20% on a trade doesn't sound that great, but I am glad to hear there is something.I've heard the Denon DL103 is a good match for Rega arms, ... | |
| DEALER IN N.Y. TO UPGRADE SCOUTMASTER I don't know exactly where you live, but an excellent one just outside of Rochester is the Analog Shop. They are an authorized VPI dealer; so I am sure they would fit the bill exactly. Very helpful. Check out their site for contact info, and give ... | |
| Best bang for buck powercond. ? A used Audio Magic Stealth MkII is in your price range. Six outlets, two of them specifically for digital. You can use it with your whole system. This power conditioner will extract tons of detail from your system, and sounds really great.I have o... | |
| What does keycode punched mean? Fatparrot is exactly right. I would also add that sometimes companies will put a hole through the bar code (or mark it in some way so that it can't scan) if it is a promo cd. So, you can expect that it is either a promo copy or a cut-out. The cd w... | |
| Animal damage to system Sorry to hear about that. I had a similar experience with a cat (not one of mine!). I was using Nordost speaker cables at the time, and he chewed them up completely. The single reason I will not use Nordost in my system. | |
| Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference. Readster: I am sorry, but this is false in my experience. I tested a bunch of records on my Record Doctor when I had it, and it did get much better between the first vaccuum and the third. I originally did this based on a review I read from (I thi... | |
| Question on Salamander Synergy system I also have an S40 rack. For me it was an improvement, but that may be due to it's having been on a very unstable shelf unit before I purchased the S40. Stereophile once said in their review that the top shelf imparts a "slight veil" to the music.... | |
| Just bought a nitty gritty, hear no difference. I once had a Record Doctor II and a Nitty Gritty 1.0, and I can tell you that the Record Doctor is definitely not as nice.With the Record Doctor II and the Audio Advisor formula that comes with it, you have to clean each side of the record three (... |
