| Wet Cleaning the Stylus Magic Eraser comes in a cardboard box and it looks like a small white brick of styrofoam. Put the M.E. in a position where you can safely drop the tonearm and cartridge onto the M.E. in a vertical motion. Do not go side to side or you might damage... | |
| Beginner Turntable Hi Lowrider, I have to agree with you that a better table than a USB or entry level modern table might be advantageous in the long run. A Linn or Thorens would provide the chance to make upgrades (i.e. a solid plinth and a better tonearm) along th... | |
| Beginner Turntable As far as the best Grado cartridge, it's really up to you to decide because price ranges will vary but if I were to suggest one outstanding Grado cartridge for the money, the Grado Reference Sonata 1 would be the cartridge to aim for. It retails h... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Thanks Al for clarifying that for me. Yes, financially at this point I would be starting from ground zero but it's good to know something about the market value and respective costs ahead of time. | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Thanks Yogiboy. I can't help wondering however why the Scott 310 D mono tuner with Multipllex adapter would be preferable to a later Scott tuner either mono or stereo, or is i just based on the overall cost? | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Atmasphere, your insights make me think that it would be best to go through a dealer like Audio Classics, as they have the ability to bring their tuners up to acceptable standards. I like Audio Classics and I've bought from them before but doing s... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? I'm working and looking at the links that are being sent my way so I apologize for delayed responses but everyone's been more than generous with their time and knowledge. | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Sorry to question the obvious. Yes, I later saw that the MR 65 accepts the multiplex adapter and thanks for the PDF link.Can anyone comment on the sonic comparisons between the 310 D and the MR 65? The reason I am mentioning the MR 65 is that they... | |
| Beginner Turntable If your playing classical, a Grado cartridge is a safe choice for a cartridge and they make a number of budget cartridges for those who are just getting started.I have a Grado mono cartridge as my records are classical mono platters from about 195... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? I'm wondering then, would the multiplex adapter apply to the McIntosh MR 65 and if so, would the HH Scott and the McIntosh be of equal quality even though their sonic characteristics might possibly be different?I'm thinking however that the 310 D ... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Thanks again Al for better clarifying. It's a blessing to have this network of knowledge right at my fingertips. Is there a link or a PDF file, etc... that can explain the Multiplex Adapter and how to apply it? My knowledge of tuners is slightly b... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Yogiboy, I had the MD 90 with the MD ST-2 dipole antenna and it was sketchy regarding the signal. I could have purchased the signal sleuth but decided that I would like to try a tube tuner over the MD 90 and to then search around for an external a... | |
| Are There Alternatives to the Marantz 10 B ? Thanks Al! Funny, I just saw this H. H. Scott 310D tuner on ebay a couple of weeks back. Anyhow as I'm in no hurry, I'll keep looking. Again much appreciated. | |
| Worth gettic a DAC with setup? The Ayre QB9 DSD DAC and that way you can play hybrid SACD's from your computer! I'd also recommend the Audirvana Plus transport App for any DAC but especially for a DAC that offers DSD playback. Audirvana Plus can be found easily via the world wi... | |
| Beginner Turntable I bought a Thorens TD 145 for $200.00. With a Herbies record mat and Grado cartridge, it sounds pretty good. I would think hard about whether I wanted a good modern table like a Rega or a good vintage table that could be modified like a Thorens. |
