| Need to re-discover analog - please help I have now heard the Teres 200 series and the 360 (with Schroeder Reference/Koetsu Urushi) plus the Galibier Quattro Supreme with Schroeder Ref/Lyra Parnassus, Schroeder Ref/Denon DL-103R and Micro Seiki MX-282/DL-103R.The Teres 265 is good, but o... | |
| Prices of CD vs. record players With your substantial investment in vinyl it's worth buying a table that will give you a great analog listening experience. You will need good speed stability, isolation from resonance and an affordable cartridge and phone stage.The Teres 160 at $... | |
| Clearaudio v. Teres Jj2468 a granite plinth for a Teres has been done. Take a look here: http://www.expressimoaudio.com/turntable/turntable.html | |
| Best Phono Pre for Teres Cmo I think there's a difference between using tubes in a guitar amp (where distortion is desirable) and using tubes in a hifi amp (where it is undesirable). I do support your point that tubes often play a vital part in recording though.My view is... | |
| Fons CQ 30 Turntable You can't go wrong for $75. Good luck. | |
| Fons CQ 30 Turntable I remember it well. It was well regarded in its day, in fact is was recommended because of the 78 capability by some reviewers (it has to be said that reviewing back then was lab-measurement oriented and didn't attach much significance to subjecti... | |

| Cheap Turntable Ccereda, have you heard the Clearaudio and did you like how it sounded? I would suggest you listen to it before committing to buy. I heard an Emotion/Satisfy an expensive Clearaudio MC cartridge (can't remember which one). On Janis Ian records it ... | |
| Low, medium and high compliance cartriges. High compliance cartridges tend to be low mass moving magnet or moving iron designs. On audition, I find them to be slightly sluggish and less "airy" than lower compliance designs. That beind said, it's hard to get beyond the differing sonic quali... | |
| Cheap Turntable Of course it makes sense to buy a turntable on ebay if you go collect it in person.The Pro-ject 'tables have a good reputation. Some of the 80's belt drives (Ariston, Systemdek) are available cheap used. The Technics SL1200 direct drive offers gre... | |
| Need to re-discover analog - please help Springbox10 the Denon DL-103 is still available and has something of a cult following. I find it quite special in that it performs better than it should for the price ($180). Of course you can spend much more on a cartridge if you wish - Patrick's... | |
| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... Cardiackid, with respect, you are wrong about the exchange rate. Expert are in the UK, where I am, and their quotation for the same work as Benz Micro was more in pounds than the Benz quotation in Euros. As 1 Euro = £0.70 it means that Benz are ov... | |
| Can almost anyone learn to set up a Cartridge? Well, almost anyone can learn, or more accurately teach themself. I would suggest that you first read the faq at http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/faq.htmlI found the article "Tonearm Geometry and Setup" by Kessler and Pisha very informative in tha... | |
| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... Don't bother with Expert Stylus they are good but expensive - you will pay more in pounds than you will in Euros/dollars with Benz Micro. I sent my Koets Black to be re-tipped in Switzerland and it cost half the price that Expert quoted me. | |
| Cartridge Man MM3 vs. ZYX R100 Fuji FS? I have heard the Airy 2 which sounded delightful - everything you could want from a cartridge - open, balanced, uncolored with bass beatifully detailed, extended and natural. I was assured by the Zyx agent that the RS100 has the same "family" soun... |
