| Phono stage rec for Rega P25 with ZYX R100-02H Two more options I hadn't noticed mentioned. Heed Quasar- I use it in a second system. The Heed is quiet, and tonality veers on the warm side . It's high gain setting would likely work well for the ZYX, as their specs run conservative. The other i... | |
| Cleaning new/sealed records? My assumption would be the MFSL SDC would be better for used records that are less than NM condition. With a NEW record or nice used record, I use the Audio Intelligent #6 w/ my VPI 16.5. I have the MFSL SDC sealed, but haven't tried it. Most all ... | |
| Cartridge restore... by Soundsmith. Great job +1- No doubt, SS is a first class company. | |
| Moving-Coil Step-Up Transformer SUT Jjrenman- Thanks, and yes the DV is in my secondary system. I am running it in to a Heed Quasar, with very good results. Perhaps the Quasar is not ideal with a Very LOMC, but it's an excellent value. Liking the 20X and Quasar as I do, my thought i... | |
| Moving-Coil Step-Up Transformer SUT I'm running an EMT Tsd-15, in to an A23 Homage T2. Jjrenman, How do you like the 20X2L/1131 combo. I have the same cart, and have been thinking about a Bob's. Is your winding 1:10/1:20 or 1:20/1:40? Which setting do you prefer of those? | |
| 7es-3 + Line Magnetic vs Vandy Quatro + AR VSI 55? " I did listen to the LM, and it sounded great, but to my ears the ARC sounded just as good (through a set of Proac D2)."With respect, which LM you heard should have a some relevance.That said, synergy is huge and ARC/ProAc is a classic combo. Che... | |
| Cost no object tonearm for DL-103 You may want to check out the Ikeda labs arm. I just heard one, but with an Ikeda cartridge. Very impressive. | |
| 7es-3 + Line Magnetic vs Vandy Quatro + AR VSI 55? Wow- what shame you are getting so few responses. I wouldn't have thought. That being the case, maybe I will ad this. St.Louis Stereo carries all four lines you are mentioning here. Maybe if you go w/ Vandy/ARC, you could do business with them. I ... | |
| Line Magnetic 501-a gold? any experience? This is supposed to be a great amp. I own their Silver Series El34 integrated, the 211 IA. I assume this dealer (I have a good idea who it is BTW) has Leben. The Leben is supposed to be a very common pairing with Harbeth, so that may be worth a li... | |
| NJ Audio Weekend - who would come? Bigkidz- It's an idea with excellent intentions, and i applaud you for sharing it. Unfortunately, to do this in a public place such as a Hotel conference room, may be unrealistic. The cost associated with renting the space + the travel, packing,un... | |
| thickest outer record sleeves, where to buy them? Jorsan- No worries, just curious. Cheers -Don | |
| thickest outer record sleeves, where to buy them? I got 5.0 ml ones, and I actually don't like them. They are a harder, stiffer plastic. So much so, that they are a pain to work with. They would be cool to display an album, because they look very clear, but were not practical from a convenience f... | |
| Luxman PD-171 turntable This is IMO, what a TT should look like. I lust after it for it's looks, but would have to hear it. I am no expert, but doesn't Jelco make arms for other larger companies. There is another pretty expensive German table that uses it, but the name e... | |
| Ortofon Cadenza Bronze, Blue, Black Thanks you both for your opinions. Bill K- Nice to hear that the Bronze is quiet in the grooves, as I have owned carts which I can't say the same. I think it's one of those ignorance is bliss things until you hear one that is quiet. Then, there's ... | |
| Arm to a Eat Forte S Any updates on your EAT Forte setup. What arm did you end up choosing ? |
