| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Chakster, yes that´s reasonably priced but its 110V so fits only in US and Japan. AudioScope´s is 230V for European audiophiles + has a warranty. How many vintage hyper decks have a full warranty ? Not so many.Seems there are many PD444s on eBay, ... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? ^ Exactly, furthermore Black Widow´s arm wand is kinda flimsy to be taken too seriously for "the best cartridge ever" : ) | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? LUXMAN PD 444 the best w/ 2 tonearm use, AudioScope has a "mint" unit for sale (not cheap of course). Its little bro PD441 also very nice and is a great buy.Kenwood L07D. Dgarretson and lewm will enlighten you, I believe. | |
| Temple Audio - anyone have dealings? Harmony Phono is a super quality MM preamp. I got excellent service all the way so I highly recommended. And I certainly will buy again from them. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I have ADC TRX-2, very very fine performer. Also exists TRX-3 which is a rare beast:https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Well, the best possible vintage tonearm is SME III w/ fluid damping, naturally. I bought mine in 1987 and never lusted after other pivot arms and after listened to a couple of HQ MM carts that confirmed it all : ) | |
| When to replace preamp tubes? ^ Spot on. Tubes just lose their mojo very slowly. In my preamp new Golden Dragons last for about ten thousand in great working order but after that they just start to fade away. They simply start lose their dynamics and detail so the sound become... | |

| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Yes I noticed that the cantilever wasn´t made of diamond but it is gray so probably boron but it is short (about 3 mm if I remember correctly). It was advertised as a very limited edition with number 1 stamped on metal, but no DV logo and wooden b... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? ^ I agree, that´s why I sold my copy of JVC 4MD-20 (from the glory days of the cart of the month era) and it fits only for 100K Ohm impedance as is designed for 4 channel records, actually it sounded harsh at 47K. And all this lead my way to try m... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Ivan, you are absolutely right: we must not forget Friedrich Nietzsche. In music, his ideal for Übermensch is also introduced in "Zarathustra" by Italian rock band Museo Rosenbach, in 1973. One of the very finest albums of that special subgenre, C... | |
