| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Dust cover on when not playing, off when playing are the rules at this casa.To do otherwise is counterproductive to the goal of excellent sound. | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Reviewed the service manuals on TT-81 and TT-101. The main differences that I found:-TT101 is coreless servo motor, TT81 is servo but not coreless motor-2 dB lower noise for TT101-2 kgs heavier for TT101- rotational speed performance about the sam... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Also recommending the TT-101. Hard to beat and inexpensive relative to many other vintage TT's in this class. I have the QL-10 and added a Tenuto mat and some Gaia III's for feet and away I went. ~$1100.00 in it, and I bought it recapped. ... | |
| Tonearm/Cartridge Combinations: What Do You Own (Or Have Owned) And Recommend? Best combo so far that I've experienced that I would recommend is an AT Art9 combined with the Grace 707. Manually adjusted bearings on the arm, little looser than how it came to me. Sounds really really nice. | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp 1799 price every place I looked. | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp They're not discounted, that's the normal price $1799. The only one I saw cheaper than that was used, currently one refurbished for $100 less. | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp Bought one, it's a goodun. Beats my best, the Pass Labs Pearl II. | |
| Sony DVP-S9000es question Another Sony 9000 user here, as a Redbook transport. Good stuff, best I've tried in my system. | |
| KD 500 w/ Grace 707 arm. Stylus type. Running Art9 on a 707 sounds wonderful. 0C9iii is also great with this arm as well. You don't need to keep adjusting VTA, just spend a small amount of time when you install cart listening and some adjustment. Piece of cake and then leave it be. | |
| Phono preamp Not sure what OP did but the original Sansui it were to be recapped/upgraded where possible will likely beat many sub $1k stand alone units | |
| SPL Phonos Phono Preamp Have any of you compared the SPL to the Sutherland 20/20? I'm looking hard at these two myself. | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? Wow. I think we have a very hungry troll on our hands. Good night Irene | |
| UTurn Orbit or Yamaha YP D10 Well yes of course don't stick with something you aren't satisfied with. Get your old model or something better than that. Yamaha made a number of great TT's. | |
| Forever turntable under $2000 You'd have to be quite the pessimist to be concerned with Technics TT longterm reliability. I have a cheap P mount Technics TT sitting on the shelf that I am certain will outlast me. Japanese direct drives in general just keep ticking. I h... | |
| Technics Turntables...really??? Technics "junkers" have speed control better than many other manufacturer's expensive offerings. Some kind of snobbery me thinks in these kind of threads. |
