| Out of these two cartridges which would you choose? For MM, perhaps one of the Nagaoka's may also be a nice choice. Assuming a HO will work, you might consider one of the Hana HO carts. But I suggest calling a Rega dealer who carries a few of these, because the arm and cartridge synergy is so impor... | |
| Duelund DCA16GA There is now a 20 awg Duelund available. It's the Tin-plated copper, just like the 16awg being spoken about here. I have an order in to get some of the 16awg, and will be using this for speaker cable. My plan was to try the 20awg, and have this te... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I got in to this about 25 years ago, and started with a Denon dcd-3520 CD player. I liked the sound of the CAL Audio labs player better, but I had no idea what the hell I was doing, so I bought the less musical sounding Denon. Then on to separates... | |
| Have ~$10-12k...what would you do? That Vac 30/70 is one hell of an amp….. I had a pair on loan, and played them on my Vandy 5A’s. Talk about a fleshed out, reach out and touch, gorgeous midrange. Unfortunately, they were just borderline in their ability to drive the Vandy’s. I als... | |
| Is there somewhere I can check vinyl sound quality? I like the Steve Hoffman website for sure. I also find that in general, some artists vinyl seems to have better sound. Joni Mitchell, Steely Dan, Neil Young, Dire Straits, Paul Simon, Van Morrison, The Doors. Then others, not so good: Led Zepp, Cr... | |
| Well Tempered and EMT JSD S75 Cartridge Thanks labpro- when you wrote statement below, I got a bit confused. "I'm hoping that this Well Tempered/EMT combination will greatly improve my system."Now you and Jim have me thinking about another EMT. Please chime back in if you end up making... | |
| Well Tempered and EMT JSD S75 Cartridge labpro- Do you have the Tsd-15, Amadeus, and T2 running at this time? | |
| Well Tempered and EMT JSD S75 Cartridge There'a a Tsd-75 as well. Not sure if you were aware. My guess is that cartridge is very close in spec to the 15. My dealer said while it may be subtle, he does like the TSD-75 better. I would ask your dealer about the JSD series on your WT arm, b... | |
| Auditorium 23 and Denon DL-103R? No- Stick with the Denon 103, Tsd-15, or other cartridges with similar internal impedance. Another one I noticed is the Hana Lo output cartridge. I can't tell you it will work, but the specs indicate it should. | |
| VPI Scout or GEM Dandy PolyTable How is the speed stability on the GEM Dandy. Did you get the Merrill Speed controller? Can you adjust speed with/without it? Just curious.... I would never buy a table that did NOT have user adjustable speed control. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Hi Frank- Thanks very much! You have really gone all the way. I have had good experience with Steve's (Herbies) products, so maybe I will try his mat. At the moment, I am using the A23. It was an improvement over the stock mat, which was very susc... | |
| Bret D'Agostino passed away Oh wow. Very sad news. | |
| Bret D'Agostino passed away RIP- Is Bret any relation to Dan? | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Frank- You have me thinking about the Art-9 here. I run an Amadeus GTA. Which WTL table do you use? Cheers -Don | |
| Hana el or sl cartridge 0.5 mv Heard great reports on the Shibata version 0.5 mv Hana. 60db really should be enough gain for a 0.5mv cart. |
