| Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing David: The simple answer to your question is this: by around 1988 virtually all of the cutting rooms in the world doing vinyl started using the Neumann lathes. These lathes utilize a digital delay and digitise the signal just before the master lac... | |
| Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing All things being equal (which of course they never are), original, or even close to original, pressings are going to sound better than vinyl re-issues almost all of the time. But it will come down to what your tolerances are for surface noise, tic... | |
| Phono pre-amp for Shelter 501 MK Daemon, you should simply be able to have your tonearm leads reterminted with balanced connectors (XLR's) which is what I did to take advantage of the Aqvox's balanced input. There are very few tonearms which are not compatible with the Aqvox's ba... | |
| Phono pre-amp for Shelter 501 MK Daimon:Are you using a Rega arm? | |
| Phono stage for Denon DL103R The Denon 103R has the same compliance as the straight 103 (the only difference being the 6 nines copper windings and slightly lower output impedance) so resonance test results should be the same. | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? Cwlondon:Jungson would be a name he should add to his list. | |
| Digital force gauge query I wouldn't worry about it. Mine is the same way and the variance with mat on/ mat off is pretty consistent with two different turntables. Depending on the thickness of your mat, I would expect your readings are about .10 gram different. It may be ... | |

All of China is presented as a black hole of horrible labor conditions and all ... | |
| What current China import sounds like a CJ?? With child slave labor making all of the junk products coming out of China, what do all the adults do there? | |
| Phono pre-amp for Shelter 501 MK In Rick's defense, (I did not realize this at the time that I posted or I would have covered it then), if you look at the forums at Canauck Audio Mart (the Canadian version of Audiogon) he uses the same username both here and there and he posted r... | |
| Phono pre-amp for Shelter 501 MK I was a little skeptical of the posting on the Aqvox as well, but now that it's been recommended and some credibility questioned, I figure I may as well chime in as I'm not a new member and just bought one.I actually paid a bit more than the curre... | |
| I would like to upgrade from Sumiko MMT tonearm If you do a search at the vinyl asylum at Audioasylum you will see that the both the table and arm you have are highly regarded. I doubt if you'll experience much of an upgrade in the arm/cartridge department unless you spend well over $1000 and p... | |
| oil change t/t Did a quick search. Lots of additives in Amsoil. | |
| oil change t/t Are there any high quality synthetic motor oils without detergent additives? Anyone know if Royal Purple or Amsoil have additives? | |
| oil change t/t You can actually get Mobil One in 5W-20 or 0W-20. Currently using that in my older Gyrodec with the original non-inverted bearing. |
