| 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... | |

| 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." Â When my system is "at rest" my Aesthetix Signature pr... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used Terry9. I'm sure your correct. Just like there's no such thing as a perfect circle. The TT has a built in strobe. It says the speed is correct and that's close enough for me. 🙂 | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used To itsjustme. I know most of u think I've lost my mind, my saying I can't hear the difference between my two TT. When first mounting my Urishi, I did find I had to increase the tone arms mass to make the cart come alive. I thought I had bought a p... | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used To Whart and Invictus005:Thanks for your responses. I think I had dirty ears or something last night. My Urishi Black was sounding better than my XV1s and neither was sounding very good. Maybe I'm getting an ear infection.Did anyone else not re... | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. Bubba12:  I have had 2 sets of Krell mono blocks and one set of Pass Labs. I had 2 Kma 160’s a set of Pass X250’s and now have a couple of Krell EV 600’s. I liked them all.  Good class a bias and plenty of current. The KMA 160’s didn’t have enough... | |
| Is a SUT needed? Thanks for the suggestions. I have my Rhea set at 62 on gain. Any higher and it overloads. Gain isn't the issue, noise floor is. Jperry has the the correct remedy I do believe. I'll call Andy about some tubes. I've spoken to him before-just wanted... | |
| Low noise tube compliment for an Aesthetix Rhea? Frontier 1Did u end up solving your tube rush problem with the Rhea? I have the same set up and am looking to lower the noise floor.  I’ve been considering an SUT.  | |

| How important is the rack you use for your components I have all home made bases or tables for my components. All are made of MDF. I do have four conical shaped metal devices I found made a huge improvement on my CD player. Sometimes I play cd's, which are very bass heavy and I was getting enough vib... |
