| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Thanks to Mikelavigne for the super informative article. I never looked at a turntable like described in the article. Being an analog freak for the longest time, I can say that I have become a Direct Drive supporter. Playing a solo piano piece thr... | |
| Analog GURUs out there....what cartridge do I need Dynavector 20xL should work great with your allnic. | |
| Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners Dgad's comments is exactly what I heard. I heard the SG vs The Voice. I much preferred the Voice. I can see why some like the SG. It's quick, explosive, transparent and much like what Raul said, it was just WOW! at first. The fireworks did not las... | |
| Heaver grade vinyl vs Standard In most cases, originals sound much, much better than reissues. Reissues come in 180-200g and they also come with a lot of problems. 9/10 come in some way defective...warping, unknown marks on them, noisy etc. Now, I look for originals. If I canno... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? I had the same thoughts like you had before I got the 1500. Lucky for me, I got the 1200 as a loaner and all it took was 5 minutes. I could easilly keep the 1500 as long as I am in vinyl land that's why I took the plunge. Now after hearing the 300... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? Might just sell my 1500 when I go all out (hopefully soon). Start with the 1200. It has that same magical sound as the 1500 with less scale and body. Comparing the 1200 to the XONO is like looking at a great photo/picture(xono) vs the looking at t... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? If you're happy with what you listened to, then just stick to it. That's the best piece of advise I can give you. We're all looking for different things. What might be best for me might not be what you're looking for. | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? Cjfrbw, I have not tried the WE417 tubes yet. I did however change the rectifier tube with a Phillips miniwatt metal base and it made a huge difference. I am holding off the tube rolling and saving my $ for the H-3000 upgrade. | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? The H-1200 retails around $1600 and the H-1500 around $5000 and the H-3000 approx $10,000 and yes, they're that good. I have tried many phono stages in the past 12 months...many big names where people and magazines raved about and none actually fl... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? Not me. I know this guy too. I am in Toronto. He too got the H-1500 and is happy with them. | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? All I can say is I sold my Pass XONO after I listened to the Allnic H-1200 (on loan to me). The XONO sounded clearer/sterile while the Allnic sounded more organic, more open and magical. It did not have that typical hi-fi sound. If you like the hi... | |
| Phono Preamp Suggestions? I would recommend the Allnic H-1200. Great sounding piece. 2 mini tubes /ch for MM and uses apair of SUT's for MC. Unit is very quiet and the sound easilly rivals many $2000-4000 pieces I have used. | |
| Audio Alchemy DDS I - any information out there? I owned one when it first came out. Was a great design if it worked. Sounded great when it worked. Bought it new and the dealer sent it out numerous times to fix because it would not read certain cd's. AA could not fix it with their life and gave ... | |
| Raven AC one motor Hi, I don't have a TW but have used the Boston mat1. The main character of this mat is that it roll's off the highs too much. That's why i sold it. The Boston sounds slow and sluggish. Good for bright sounding turntables.If you want a nice soundin... | |
| Musical Fidelity A100 It's Class A all the way. Unit runs very, very hot despite the 2 fans inside it. Thise were the days when Musical Fidelity wasat their best. I did own one of these when I was still in school. Heard one recently and stillcan't get over how good it ... |
