| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? My skepticism lies in the idea of purchasing a MC cartridge below a standard price point. I'm not skeptical of the Miyajima Premium Mono however but nevertheless am entertaining the idea of a slight upgrade within a MM mono cartridge until I'm cap... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Thanks Jonathan and everyone else for that matter. The $1,600.00 price tag for the Dorion Mono comes from a search engine entry and could be due to the fact that it's out of production. I wish not to cite the name of the website out of discretion.... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? OK Lewm, fair enough, I will follow the above advice from Syntax as I'm already certain that he's far more knowledgeable in this area than I am. I also trust his Lyra recommendation but will have to work in the diamond mines to afford one. However... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? Miyajima is a cartridge that I had never even considered and don't know much about however I'll look into it. It seems from what others have said on past blogs, that a good MC mono cartridge will be built as a 2 channel mono cartridge versus a ste... | |
| Which Mono Cartridge at around $1,300.00? I've seen some of the Lyra mono cartridges selling for retail and although obviously considered a gold standard, they seemed far out of my price range. Just recently, I've noticed there being a $1,600.00 plus price tag on the Dorion cartridge and ... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? I use a StaticMaster brush for dust and static on both my stylus and for my large format film negatives. The StaticMaster comes with a cartridge that's replaceable, don't touch the cartridge! | |
| Which LPs are on your permanent rotation? For me, Carmen McRae's 'ALFIE' in mono. When I moved to Paris, I then found out that it's a cult record there. Fortunately I didn't have to pay 35 euro's for my copy. | |
| Building An Acrylic Turntable Well, here is the response that I received from Polytek regarding acrylic casting so it looks as though I might be back to square one;Technically we do no make "Acrylics", we do have a water clear Polyurethane series called Poly Optic 14 Series, I... | |
| Building An Acrylic Turntable I wonder where carbon fiber might fit into all of this? Would this be a suitable alternative to using slate and can acrylic be used in combination with other materials in order to make it more affective? | |
| Building An Acrylic Turntable My only knowledge about sound advantages in choosing acrylic is that it does not resinate, the very reason why my ASR amp and phono stage are encased in acrylic. Please keep in mind that I'm not machining acrylic but rather casting it instead. The... | |
| Building An Acrylic Turntable Hey, thanks for the link! Both tables look like they can get the job done and that acrylic table surely came out nice. I forgot to mention but I'm planning to cast my platter and my plinth in a pourable form of clear acrylic. The 2 part polyuretha... | |
| How do you tame a Denon DL-S1? Do you think that changing out the tonearm cable or silver plating the connections could result in giving you enough latitude in order to get things where you want them? I guess then a different or additional approach could be to test out a variet... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Its funny that you should mention audio streaming as I recently bought a higher end DAC for this very reason. The BBC Radio 3 at 320 kbps is about the only station that I'm able to withstand. I even wrote the BBC asking them to offer full resoluti... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Yes, this is a valid point. I'm in Cincinnati now and wanted to pick up a station in Dayton and in Yellow Springs but cannot with a dipole antenna. Tiffin to Detroit would be more than the distance between Cincinnati to Dayton. As stated initially... | |
| Using Internet Coaxial Connection as Tuner Antenna Sure enough, cheap thrills no longer interest me. |
