| any recomendations for 78 rpm TTs? Have you tried a forum search? This question was discussed in the last three months. | |
| Analog newbee looking for advice I have to join in agreeing with Albert and Doug. Plug 'n play is an oxymoron in analog replay. You have to teach yourself and be really up for experimentation and tweaking. In fact that's part of the attraction.There's a wealth of excellent knowle... | |
| Two Tonearm Turntable: Need Suggestions I'd come at this from a different direction. If you want to play 78s you need a table with sufficient torque to overcome the stylus drag from a high mass arm/cart that tracks heavier. That would preclude most belt drives and especially the Plative... | |
| ZYX RS20 vs Denon DL103 SteveMy Schroeder Reference won't be here for a few months yet. I have ordered jacaranda which is 15gm effective mass. I heard the 103R in Thom Mackris's ebony Reference which is higher. I have used a 103 in an Expressimo Rega (12gm) and it works ... | |
| Looking for phono stage recommendations Another vote for the EAR834P - it doesn't sound "tubey" -just good and being very flat to low frequencies would be a good complement to the Airy 3. I have a Supratek Chenin pre (very good indeed) but still go back to the EAR.I also suggest you con... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners I didn't mention it earlier, but I'm currently using a tweaked Lenco L75 too, in a hardwood plinth, swapping between Expressimo RB250, FR64s and Mayware Formula 4. I designed and built the plinth with a removable armboard so swapping arms is a two... | |
| Linn Sondek LP-12 happy/un-happy owners I have owned an LP12 for a little over 20 years. They don't always go out of tune - my experience is that every 2 years or so it benefits from adjusting the suspension, changing the belt and checking the tonearm cable dressing.When the Linn was la... | |
| would this combination work? Audiofankj, I would discount any opinion given by a dealer - even the most enthusiastic have an agenda around profit, inventory and what's in fashion (i.e magazine reviews, forum raves, etc.)I can add support for the Dynavector range - I recently ... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D2 MKII vs. Lyra Dorian I own a Dyna XX-2 and love it - it does all the things that people praise the Zyx range for but with more dynamic energy. I was all set to buy a 17D2 until I lucked out on a fantastic deal for the XX-2. The 17D2 has a very clever design stylus and... | |
| Schroeder arms: order of merit? Thomasheisig I think you completely got the wrong end of the stick. If Thom Mackris's (or anyone else) intended to hype his product he could easily register in several other user ids and then use them to write rave reviews and recommend his produc... | |
| Tube amp to match sensitive Living Voice Speakers Congratulations on your choice. I'm surprised Kevin recommends so much power for the Avatars. Also, I notice your orginal question asked for suggestions up to $2000! :-) | |
| Help with cartridge selection Dlwask I agree 100% - any cartridge's performance is influenced by the arm, table and the accuracy of set up.93cobra I would suggest the 17D2 has the potential to be ideal for you. It's design concept (short diamond cantilever) is original allowin... | |
| Newbie needs some cart advice for a SME V/Dyn P75 Raul, I respect your point of view and experience of many, many arms and cartridges, however the current SME arms are neutral with a slight tendency to emphasise bass (in many combinations). Because the Koetsu is bass light (agreed!) it works bett... | |
| turntable recommendations under $1500 Diamondslife I have owned a Linn LP12 for the last 20 years and have grown tired of the plumminess. Some of the UK hifi mags have been running reviews of retro analog gear so I decided to try an 80's Technics direct drive table.In their heyday dir... | |
| Tube amp to match sensitive Living Voice Speakers David the Avatars are fantastic speakers. When I had a dem with Kevin he was using Canary monoblocks.When I was in Colorado recently I heard a couple of great SET systems. For under $2000 you can buy a new pair of Welborne DRD 300b monoblocks read... |
