| Anyone stick a Hadcock 242 on a Sota? I guess not. | |
| About my new Thorens TD-125mkII Might be a bent motor spindle. I've heard people claim success in un-bending them, but they're usually outnumbered by the people who've broken them and had to replace the motor. | |
| What do you think is the best sounding metal album Black Sabbath, Masters of Reality is actually pretty well recorded album, but IMHO it sounds better a little rough through a lousy radio than it does through a high-end system. I mean, c'mon... Its Black Sabbath! | |
| How do you know when to replace the stylist? I would never let a stylist anywhere near my cartridge. | |
| A newby to Turntables -- Linn - Thorens I bought a TD-160 Super about six months ago as a starter table. Pretty easy to own and work on. You can make lots of chasis adjustment with basic tools. I've listened recently to a couple of other decks and by comparison the TD-160 lacks some sol... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R Yes, there must be a cross in the postings. I put one up early this morning that said, "It's enough to make you reach for a CD." It apparently never made it.Yeah, I've been through that arm a dozen times and I've always had this same tracking forc... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R Right, sorry if that wasn't clear. As stated by Pryso, the M97xe weighs about 6 grams, with effective tracking force recommended (in the package anyway) at 1.25 - 2.0g with the brush down. I'd been running it a little heavy at about 2.75g with the... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R OK. This is getting off into stuff I know nothing about, but its a good thing you're telling me. Can you explain "compliance" a little more?I also have a weight issue with the G707. The Shure, at 6 grams, has the counterweight spun pretty far out ... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion I'm currenty running a Shure M97XE on a Thorens TD-160. The pluses are that it is very smooth with no harsh bright spots and listener fatigue. It is very natural sounding and, IMHO it gets timbres impressively right for such an inexpensive cartrid... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R OK. Seems there's more to using this cartridge than I would have thought. Am I understanding that there are phono stages that will work directly with this cartridge? Does anyone have any suggestions for a phono stage that would work with this cart... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R Well, if I were going to go with the cartridge, in the process I would make sure that I had the appropriate phono-pre/stup-up for whatever cartridge I chose. It does seem like the step-up transformers are considerably less expensive that full phon... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R I had asked on a previous thread what a step-up does, and the response was that it boosts the signal to make it compatible with a MM phone stage. Couldn't I accomplish the same thing by using the cartridge with an external stage into a line input? | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R So, set me straight here. Would using this cartridge require the use of both a phone stage and step-up transformer? I'm still not entirely sure what the transformer actually does.I've also read that these cartridges can have issues with metal plat... | |
| Denon DL 103 vs DL 103R Sorry, I was saying that I may need, or want to use an additional external stage/step-up in addition to the cartridge itself. It might not be a bad idea regardless of the phono stage in my preamp. My pre does have a phono stage, which is what I'm ... | |
| Miles Davis "Sketches Of Spain" Yes, that would be a very cool thing to see. Thanks, Greg |
