| Koetsu cartridges - myth or reality? Lewm, the 507 is a great sounding tonearm. Highly flexible on cartridge matching, adjustability and a breeze to use. It's also a great tracker and will do warps without a hiccup. | |
| Vinyl vs. digital: what am I doing wrong? The recording on the Norah Jones CD is no slouch. A properly "tuned" turntable should have no problem sounding better than the CD version. I have both the LP and the CD.Properly setting up a turntable is not a difficult task. Just read the instruc... | |
| Universal headshell recommendations..... Try the Shun Mook ebony headshells. They are pricey buy definitely worth it. Make sure your arm can handle the extra mass. It weighs 15 grams without the leads. | |
| Record Cleaning Machines: Hannl or Typhoon I got my Typhoon a few months ago and I cannot say enough good things about it. The vac is very powerful. Yes, it is noisy but only takes 2 turns to completely dry a side. You can get lots cleaned on no time. That really helps when you come home w... | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire I would not do it. The tiny wires are there for a reason. They are very thin and flexible so the hearshell spins freely without resistance. If you really, really want to attempt this, make sure the new wires are light and flexible as the original ... | |
| Thoughts on "EL-Cheapo" LP flattener? I believe "dishing" cannot be fixed by a commercial flatener. My friend has an Air tight flatener and it seems that it cannot fix dishing problems. Have tried it a couple times especially on those paper thin vinyl. | |
| arguments against starting a vinyl collection? Czbbcl, For starters, the Technics 12xx would be a good choice. You can get them as cheap as $399??? Do a search on the forums. It's a solid table FWIW. You can do a lot worse for a lot more $. Get an Audio Technica/Denon cartridge and a PS audio ... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up I just replaced my old XV1 with a brand new XV1s (still not broken in only 2-3 hrs play as we speak). I found them sound best tracking at 2.0-2.05g with minimal antiskate. | |
| arguments against starting a vinyl collection? A properly setup $1500 TT combo (TT, preamp) will I won't say sound better than your EMM Labs but will give you a much more satisfying musical presentation/performance than any digital will. Listening to analog is an experience. IMO, digital at it... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Spraglow, go to http://www.kabusa.com/and navigate through it. There is a chart that lists the difference is the 1200 series tables. I believe the one to get is the 1210 M5G with better 1 piece internal wiring. I believe the finishing looks better... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Just picked up a 1200 mk2. Will be doing some mods on it first. Have a couple cartridges lying around that I will mount on it and report back. Have a Crown Jewel SE and a Dynavector XV1. WIll get to it this weekend and let you guys know the outcom... | |
| Well Tempered Reference Vs Nottingham Hi, your WTT is miles ahead of a $2500 Nottingham. Going Nottingham would be taking a few steps backwards. Like others have said, there is not much if any at $2500 new or used that would match your WTT. | |
| Mounting of a tonearm. Thanks Doug for providing a good insight to IGD. IMO, IGD is most likely caused by a worn stylus. | |
| Why the sudden popularity of 12 inch arms Shane, the major differences I find between 12" and it's 9" counterpart is the way the music is presented. The shorter arm would have better detail, speed, transparency and more of the hi-fi thing (if that's what you're looking for) while the long... | |
