| ADS/ a/d/s/ BrAun Atelier component repair I can't really afford a great stereo anymore. I remembered how much I loved my ADS system I had years ago. I've been slowly recollecting some in real nice condition but the preamp and amp I bought were defective and I had to return them for a refu... | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? OK Raul, I have levelled the Ortofon Jubilee, set the tracking to 2.30 and the 8 nines are sounding 'mighty fine'! Thanks. | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? Thanks again Raul, Yes, I know they recommend 2.3 grams. And I will be trying that again. Right now, I'm not sure I like the Ortofon 8 nines headshell leads that came with the cartridge. With them the cartridge seems lean compared to when I was us... | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? Thanks Raul, No, I haven't noticed any problem. Now for the update. I have to mention, for the benefit of everyone who might read this, some of the problems I have encountered just changing the cartridge on my rig. First I must say that I have had... | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? I sold the Benz Micro L2. I'll probably miss it's warmth on some recordings. But I am liking the Ortofon Jubilee so far. It now has about 30 hours total. 10 hours on my rig through the Benz Micro Lukaschek PP-1 T-9. It really delivers a satisfying... | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? Still waiting for my Ortofon Jubilee. Guess what. The Benz Micro L2 is breaking in BEAUTIFULLY! Maybe I'll have to see about a turntable that can use 2 arms. | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? Done deal again! I bought an Ortofon Jubilee cartridge. I'll post my thoughts on this cartridge in my system once it is broken in. | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? Hi Cincy_bob, The Rotel's phono stage is switchable between mm at 47kohm and mc at 100 ohms. That's why I also asked about those Ortofon cartridges I believe they all suggest >30 ohms. Or, as in the case of the Kontrapunkt, 50 to 200 ohms. | |
| I have a BAT VK-20 and BAT VK-200 what are the bes I have sold the BAT equipment. | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV & Rotel RC 1090, cartridge? No responses yet. How about the Ortofon Rohmann, Jubilee or Kontrapunkt B? | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV and Benz Micro Ruby 2 . After some initial improvement, I was still not satisfied with my setup using the MC 100 ohm setting on my preamp. I had read about the Benz Micro Lukaschek and how it was engineered to complement MC cartridges, and especially, Benz's own wood bod... | |
| What is the best arm for a VPI Aries 2 and Benz L2 Salectric, Stevecham and Readster, What cartridges were you using and what were your VTFs? All three cartridges I had used with these arms (Van den Hul Frog and Black Beauty, Ortofon Kontrapunkt B) had light VTFs (1.3 to 1.7). Yes, the JMW 9 was m... | |
| What is the best arm for a VPI Aries 2 and Benz L2 I have owned VPI TNT and Scout turntables with the JMW arms. They sounded good once the arm settled down (about track 2). Those arms jiggle too much for me. What's the point of carefully setting up an arm and cartridge and getting a perfect azimut... | |
| What is the best arm for a VPI Aries 2 and Benz L2 The Benz L2 is breaking in beautifully on my Aries 2 and SME IV. I have been blown away by how much improvement has come over just a few more hours of playing. I have had several combinations of arms/cartridges in the past, but I have never experi... | |
| VPI Aries 2 , SME IV and Benz Micro Ruby 2 . For now, I'm buying a Benz-Micro L2. |
