| Is a SUT needed? jperry: I too purchased 4 matched RCA 12ax7's from Andy and my noise floor was reduced significantly. Still a little tube rush between songs at high level of playback, but that's just tubes. | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp You must understand-my wife told me it was either her or my Hi-Fi. I'm sure going to miss her. | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp Invictus005: Yes. Had my Dr. Pepper @ 10, 2 and 4 | |
| TO BE OR NOT TO BE the user of a record clamp Roberjerman: Do u know of a clamp that will fit my PL-71? It only has a very short spindle with no threads. It would have to be something that " latches" onto the short spindle. The one you sent me a link to-will that actually "latch" onto my spi... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used tooblue: I appreciate your response and will experiment with what you have mentioned. I think I will mount the Urushi to my VPI and hear what happens. As of now, both the DRT XV1s and the Koetsu sound very similar. I just posted a thread abou... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used Elizabeth: I remember talking to you years ago and am not sure where you went, but glad you're back.. What say you? I welcome all comments. | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used tooblue: I know you and others, think I've lost my mind, what little of it is left-too much "60's." I invite u to try setting up an inexpensive TT and strap a primo cart on it. If your set up is correct and the TT is good, I really don't think ... | |
| CD vs. Vinyl Looks like there hasn't been any activity on this for eight years. I still play CD's occasionally. I put on my CD of Abbey Road. It sounded so bright and brittle I had to get up and put the LP on. I know-should have known better. I'm using a T... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used This isn't the right forum for this, but I still listen to CD's occasionally. I put on Abbey Road and couldn't stand how bright and brittle it sounded. Had to switch to the LP. I know-da. Should have know better. Sometimes I get lazy🙃 | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used I truly love this forum. About the time I start thinking I know a little concerning high fidelity, I find out how little I actually know. I will admit, sometimes my opinion is clouded by an adult beverage or two, but still think I have a discernin... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used I apologize for my last response. I asked for opinions, not just favorable ones. | |
| TT mats Bondmanp: Sounds like what you’re referring to is about the same mat I’m using on my pioneer. It’s designed to drain any static charge into the spindle and dissipate it into the ground. I keep my humidity around 50-60% and use a Zerostat to be sur... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used Thanks to all of you for your responses. I will consider your recommendations. One thing I agree with-my $$ is better spent on a new cart, rather than a used one. Interestingly enough-I had no offers to buy anyone's used cart. :) As I said, my... | |
| TT mats I should ad my platter is the aluminum platter | |
| Best preamp for my Krell FPB 600 I have a couple of Krell EV 600's. Love their sound and strength. I like a tube preamp, although no matter how much u spend, at least in my experience, you're always going to have "tube rush." When my system is "at rest" my Aesthetix Signature pr... |
