| Phono stage gain Try the phono preamp gain calculator at www.kabusa.comIn my experience it's pretty much dead on. | |
| Amp: Integrated - Used; - Sub $750 Help :- http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?intatran&1231344925&/Jungson-cd---int-amp-da-120ia/I've owned the Jungson JA 88C for about 3 years now. Incredible build quality for the money along with great sound. Mine was a serious upgrade from t... | |
| AC or DC Motor? how do I know - Gyrodec The AC Papst motor housings have a knurled nut of about 3 cm diameter right below the pulley. With DC motors, the pulley just protrudes from the top of the motor housing.(taken from Werner Ogiers on-line manual for Michell turntables). | |
| Walker Audio Prelude Record Cleaning Question - Mark: No disrespect intended, but I think that lumping single stage distilled (or simple RO for example) in with a reagent grade water like this:http://www.opticsplanet.net/casco-nerl-water-reagent-grade-9800-5.htmlis a bit of a stretch. While tru... | |
| $59 PC Options DH Labs sells their assembled power cord for about $220 but is to be commended for the fact that they'll also sell the raw cable for about $6.50 a foot.Using high quality Marinco connectors you can build this cord for about $70, although I've also... | |
| MoFi enzyme based cleaner and pure rinse I'm with Sonofjim on this one. Find a good first step cleaner and follow it with the highest quality water you can find. As far as I'm concerned it's more important that the first step be surfactant based than enzyme based unless you're cleaning r... | |
| JA Michell Turntable - Need help You want to go here:http://www.angelfire.com/music5/michell_gyrodec/or herewww.geocities.com/michell_gyrodec/step_by_step/manual.htmlfor the unofficial guide to Gyrodecs by Werner Ogiers. Definitely the best/most comprehensive info I've found on s... | |
| Trip to the vinyl shop/ Jimi Hendrix: Axis: BAL The Back to Black Axis is very good and one of the few "Back to Black" reissues that seems to have received much in the way of positive reviews. From what I've read it's the only one that is identified as being sourced from the analog tapes and th... | |
| why sound is so different? The sound you describe sounds typical of not having enough gain, which would not be unusual considering the Bellari only has 30 db of gain. I could not find the ouput of the Shure you are using but to sound good with the Bellari you are going to n... | |
| Regular Blue Note reissues quality? I'd agree with the advice to skip the Scorpios; I have a couple and they never get played-think in my next culling they'll get traded to the dealer who will sell them to some unsuspecting soul.The best value BN re-issues, in my experience and with... | |
| Clearaudio Aurum Beta S vs. Denon 103R Yes, do the wood body on your 103R. There is some pretty compelling info at the vinyl asylum (just do a search there using aurum beta and audio technica) suggesting the Aurum Beta S is nothing more than a slightly improved AT 95. My guess is that ... | |
| Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help? "Guys, it is hardly true that a rinse with ultra-pure water leaves nothing behind. There is the friction of vinyl and the static electric charge on the record. I can remember when Lloyd recommended GrooveGlide and certainly the Talisman removing s... | |
| Does the Step 4 final rinse for Walker Prelude help? Well, until Lloyd Walker chimes in with info as to what is added to the "Step 4 rinse" (he doesn't have to give ratios or quantities), Doug's speculation in the first response would seem to me to be much more plausible and realistic than other ide... | |
| DIY Record Cleaning Solution Why do it when you can have top quality cleaning solutions for 25 cents per record? Buy a quality, purpose designed surfactant based cleaner such as MoFi Super Deep or AIVS that will clean a record for 15 or 20 cents and then buy the highest quali... | |
| New Re-Issue Vinyl: Surface Noise, Ticks, Pops.... I buy very little new vinyl and I'm very careful when I do: ie. I usually wait to hear from other listeners who have taken the plunge before me on reissues with respect to the quality of the vinyl or pressing. I have a few of the Music Matters Blu... |
