| CONUNDRUM I have a rather low end table-Clearaudio Emotion with stock arm. I heard the Concerto cart is good @ reproduction, while not emphasizing surface noise. I really need suggestions on the cartridge. You say the Koetsu? | |
| Can the output of an ARC PH-7 be turned down? I was thinking and the 5751 tubes will reduce my output, but not my input (I think ). I think I will try to get a couple of -10db attentuators from Rothwell as suggested by "Mofi." To be fair, he did suggest a lower output cart over the attentuators. | |
| Can the output of an ARC PH-7 be turned down? Thanks to all for your input. ARC has a gain reduction kit I can get, but they discouraged it due to signal degradation. I saw where MCM electronics has line attentuators, but I would have to use an RCA to XLR adator on my interconnects from my PH... | |
| Tubed Linestage I wrote my last comment before reading responses to my other thread. The Aesthetix Calypso seems to get a lot of recommendations and has "glowing" (pun intended) reviews. Looks like I'm in the market for a Calypso. | |
| Tubed Linestage I appreciate all of your responses. The subject (krells don't match with ARC) came from a comment from a fellow audiogoner. It appears they have been out voted. One thing I have noted when reading reviews of the most recent ARC preamps, 17, 26 &am... | |
| Tubed Linestage My ARC PH-3SE is a phono stage only. It has to have a linestage preamp. I don't know if the ARC & Krell are a mis-match, just saying that's what I read in a blog here on Audiogon. My thread was a question-not a statement. Has anyone heard of a... | |
| ARC PH 3 SE vs PH 7 Thanks for your replies-the are unanimous. I don't have the bucks to upgrade at this time, but now know what to aspire to. | |
| MM Cartridge or MC Cartridge I guess I will get the Maestro re-tipped and use my old Shure V15 III until I get it back. I recently bought a Clearaudio Emotion TT and switch back and forth between the old PL-71 and the Emotion. The Maestro cart sounds much better than my old S... | |
| Proper rating of used albums I "won" an auction where I purchased 38 albums. All albums were over rated. I contacted the seller by e-mail, but he refused to give me a refund saying that I should have asked more questions before buying. As I said, they were rated on the Goldmi... | |
| No More TT Feedback Thanks for the "Moon Gel" suggestion. I've looked EVERYWHERE for something like that. I purchased a Clearaudio Emotion TT yesterday, but think I'm going to sell it. I'm enjoying my vinyl, but not "shure" I'm into it that much. It has a brand new M... | |
| How to eliminate TT feedback/vibration I will try to get a pic of my set-up on line. I actually improved my problem by spiking my TT on a piece of MDF and put the MDF on some foam rubber. I can now increase my volume several db without any feedback and the spikes are responsible. What ... | |
| Subwoofer to go with Wilson Maxx II's The Wilson's go down to 20hz with smooth response. I've actually had people think I was using a sub when I wasn't. Best speaker I've ever heard. But believe me, there are times I may not "need" a sub, but want one and appreciate one. I had a Bag E... | |
| Audio Experience A2E Sorry to hear about your preamp. I've heard pro & con. Good luck on getting it going. Most of my gear is solid state. Did get a Belarri VP 130 as a cheap phono stage. I'm not in to vinyl much, so that's good enough for me at this time. Some st... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? This was asked - and answered. To much '60's. | |
| Record-playing Rituals? To all you vinyl purists out there-tell me what I'm doing wrong. First I must tell you, 25 years ago, I would buy an album-off the "rack", then I would record it to a good quality cassette. I did this with the idea I could play the cassette as lou... |
