| New Funk Firm Achromat Warped I received my red APM Achromat from Funk Firm; it is flat. The differences are subtle, but it does improve clarity in the mids and highs. Bass notes are rendered with a bit more texture. One downside is that in order to get the VTA correct with a ... | |
| Technics SL 1200GR with What Cartridge??? I’m using a Ortofon Quintet Black S and A-T VM760SLC, both work well with the SL-1210GR. | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... @stereo5 I’m not sure Musk cares one way or another about Trump’s access to Twitter, but one never knows what the oligarchs are up to these days. The congress critters are worthless, you have that very correct. They all stay too long and leave ... | |
| I wrote/mailed tax checks today... The cost of the U.S. government has doubled over the past 14 years... anyone feel like they’re getting their money’s worth? Are you twice as free? | |
| Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience? 10 Audio Mogami Neglex cables on AG Very transparent and neutral cable, IMO. Running a fool loom in my system. I was embarrassed when I heard these and thought about some of the megabucks cables I'd previously spent money on. I will second the s... | |
| Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR I received the new rig yesterday. I have it all set up and played a couple sides of Stevie Ray and Pink Floyd. Absolutely fabulous sounding; I can't wait to hear it after the cartridge breaks in. The Quintet is my first MC and I now understand, at... | |
| New Funk Firm Achromat Warped Yikes. I ordered a 7mm red one for my SL-1210GR direct from Funk Firm, as I could only find black here in the States. Here's hoping it isn't warped... | |
| Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR I made a hard u-turn on my plans. I decided I did not want to give up the ability to swap headshells/cartridges. Out with Volare and Series Six, and in with SL-1210GR. I plowed some of the difference into a Ortofon Quintet Black S. | |
| Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR @bobbydd Your solution is how I’m ending up. Did you have any issues getting the correct armboard from your dealer? I’ll use my very low hours A-T VM760SLC for the time being. Looks like I’m about 8 weeks out on the tonearm. Now, must decide on... | |
| Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR I bumped myself up to considering the SL-1200G, have had difficulty finding one. Well, then, if I'm going to spend $4K plus, there are many other options to consider? Rega RP10 (NOS), Planar 8, Feickert Volare, VPI Prime 21, Michell Gyro SE. Paral... | |
| Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR Yes, it does. | |
| Next level standmount speaker options Dynaudio is an option worth auditioning .I listened to both the Heritage Special and Contour 20i. I went with the 20i as they sounded a bit more dynamic and full to my ears. Both had nice transparency, gorgeous midrange, and tight, tuneful bottom ... | |
| Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR I hear you. I have a coworker who was using a $200 table into his Sonos speaker. And buying audiophile vinyl, some of it 45rpm! I at least convinced him to get a better table with Ortofon 2m blue. He had no idea that he was doing damage to his exp... | |
| Technics SL-1500C or SL-1210GR It is indeed a 70s vintage turntable, with SME 3009 S2 Improved tonearm. | |
| Time for a new MM cartridge Thank you everybody for taking the time to respond. I ended up ordering the AT VM760SLC. I should have it by this weekend, and I'll have it up and running on my day off Tuesday at the latest. |
