| 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... | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II Guess I should have read the other threads before responding. I see my subject was covered very well before my input. That will teach me...It's all in fun anyway. | |
| Parastat/Solution Yes-you're correct. Thanks for your input. | |
| External DAC and Theta Casablanca II I have an CB3 w/superior boards (best you could buy when I bought it). My DAC started missing the 1st second or two of most songs. Amplifier Technologies, who purchased Theta, kept it for weeks and weeks and returned it in the same condition. They... | |
| THETA CB3 XOVER I was going through my "Threads" and came upon yours. I have since purchased a Kora Hermes II DAC. Since then I'm running "Analog Direct Matrix." The sound is so much clearer and the volume is several db higher. This way, you can still use the sub... | |
| Grado or Shure Thanks for your responses-both times. I see the Shure gets all the votes. I have been contemplating this for a year. I had already ordered the higher end stylus, but began to 2nd guess myself. I only became aware of Gon about a year ago. Can't bel... | |
| Record-playing Rituals? I'm slowly getting back into vinyl after 20 years. I can't remember, if I ever knew, how to properly use a "Zerostat." Can anyone please remind me the correct procedure? | |
| Compatible stylus for a Shure V-15 series III Mofimadness: Thanks for the info-have a stylus on it's way. It's a pleasure to get good positive feedback from informative folks like you. I haven't used my turntable for years. Any suggestions on an economical tube phono stage? (I will use my tur... |
