| Oyaide R1 Burn In Time Sherod had some good advice there. There are dealers of the R1 who say that people apparently hear changes as much as 500 hours later.I'd be putting the refrigerator or chest freezer on those receptacles-2 to 3 weeks for each half regardless. Some... | |
| Oyaide R1 Burn In Time I have absolutely no experience with the R1 so cannot comment on its sonic signature but if your R1's were cryoed and not burnt in following the cryo (I believe Alan Kafton at Audioexcellence burns all his in but am not sure about other vendors) t... | |
| hooking phono preamp to integrated Well, almost any unused input. If your integrated has a phono input (not likely but still possible), it's not adviseable to plug it into that one. | |
| Denon 103r ???? Seems the link does work! | |
| Denon 103r ???? I'm not so sure that the cartridge is actually phase reversed so much as the pin arrangement on the Denons is different from other cartridges possibly resulting in incorrect hookup and phase reversal, but perhaps someone else can shed more light o... | |
| Denon 103r ???? Richard: With respect to the Zu 103, this is only speculation on my part as I have only experienced a wood bodied 103R, but reading between the lines at vinylasylum I get the impression that those who have experimented with both the wood body and ... | |
| Denon 103r ???? Patrick: Regarding comparisons between the 103R and the Zu 103 etc., this would be my educated guess on it. Just so you know where I am coming from, I own a 103R which is currently in an ebony wood body made by Uwe; my wood body is a first generat... | |
| Denon 103r ???? Come on Raul. All you have to do with a 103R is put it in a metal body and pot it and it'll be worth $5K and right up there with an Allaerts!The Shure M97XE is better than the Denon? | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue I'm sure Jloveys can defend himself, but, with respect to the King re-issues, they're commonly available on E-Bay between $25 and $50 or so-there's a bucket full of them on Buy it Now between $35 and $50 including a Mobley "Soul Station" at $38. A... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue I, for one, don't think Jloveys had any agenda with respect to his original posting and appreciated his comparison with original or close to original pressings of the same performance. I felt he was evenhanded in his criticism and detailed what he... | |
| Blue Note 45rpm reissue Jloveys: Thanks for your opinion. I have the Mobley "Soul Station" on order and am interested in how it sounds as well as the quality of the vinyl. For the most part, I am simply not up to paying the prices for Blue Note originals (especially on t... | |
| AC plug benefit? While the Porter Ports are very good (I use a DIY variation of them) bear in mind that the real answer to your question is that, yes, there will probably be some improvement, but that improvement would be significantly magnified if the receptacles... | |
| Denon 103r ???? What tracking force & loading are you using currently? Damping fluid would be easy to experiment with but I'd be inclined to max it out and try that.Huge improvements can be obtained by contacting Uwe through audioasylum and purchasing a wood ... | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Not only do they look the same, they essentially spec the same except for the slightly lower recommended range of tracking force (2.2 to 2.8 grams for the 103).On top of that, the manufacturer was apparently a huge fan of the 103 many years before... | |
| Magic Diamond vs Airtight PC1? Yikes! I thought when I originally posted the MD cost $2,500! Looks like I was out by 3K! My apologies. |
