What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I have been using the Thomas Schick with a dl103 and a Zu 103. It is very nice and was designed for the 103.It is affordable, but very basic, and a little clumsey to set up.It looks simple and vintage to me, I like that.It plays music very well! | |
Anyone using a Schick tonearm? Macrojack I have one of Mr Schick's arms. It is designed for low compliance carts (DL103 for me), it is a very simple yet a very nice arm, to me a retro look. The only faults are the headshell and the cables that come with it seam a little less t... | |
How do I reduce gain on my preamp? Mingles, Your situation occurs far too often in a lot of companies. I have never liked this, and I truely do the same as AR did for me, for anyone calling on my business. It boils down to the corporate culture, and typically comes from the top dow... | |

Vintage Turntables compared to modern? I set out last year to upgrade a 20 year old high end deck. After the dust settled I am listening to a 30 year old one. Go figure... If you want to do a little work and reep great reward for small $$ rebuild a Lenco or a Rek o Kut, or any other ea... | |

Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have spent the last 15 years with a pair of Martin Logan Aerius. They still amaze me at times. Once I finally figured out how to properly treat the room they really started to shine. Before that I bought a pair of Dhalquist dq10 in 1980 up umtil... | |
arguments against starting a vinyl collection? You will not enjoy it at all.... you will spend way too much time looking for it, cleaning it and listening to it. Your lawn will grow tall, your pets will go unfed, you will stay up too late playing them, be tired the next day and loose you job, ... | |
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II Johnnantais I look forward to seeing you tackle the Rok o Kut. I love mine and I am not yet completely finished. I do caution you as you stated that you have a metal drive spindle on the motor. I don't think they are on your rondine. They look it ... | |
Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms I agree with Johnnyb53. With the rising number of people building their own plinths one can choose any arm they like. I just ordered a new Ortofon 12 " for mine after much deliberation and frustration of trying to find an older or used arm. I want... | |
