| 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. | |
| Time for a new MM cartridge The specs on the Charisma are impressive, and reviews seem to be quite good. It is pricey, however. | |
| Time for a new MM cartridge Stereo5, the ultrasonic cleaning worked a bit of magic apparently. Doesn’t sound new, but definitely revitalized to an extent. | |
| Time for a new MM cartridge Thanks, mijostyn, arm compatibility is something I wanted to address. I will probably have The Reference retipped once I have a replacement. It was at or near the top of their line at the time. | |
| Time for a new MM cartridge I’m guilty as charged on lumping MI in with MM.😉 The current version Grado Reference is more than I care to spend at today’s pricing. I like the sound of the Grados, but looking to branch out a bit. On another note; I received my Flux Hifi ultras... | |
| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers Thank you to everyone that contributed excellent feedback, which is all of you. In the end, I decided to go with the Dynaudio Contour 20i. With 70+ percent of my music listening being classic rock and blues, I opted for speakers that are more dyna... | |
| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers Great feedback and information, don q and misstl, thank you. Based on what I’ve read online and here on Audiogon, the Spendor 2/3 seem to be a happy middle between a C7, M30 and the SHL5 form factor, and the Spendor 1/2 and 3/1… more body and heft... | |
| Compare/Contrast Spendor Classic vs. Harbeth speakers Thanks for the input. You're definitely correct that is difficult to audition many brands these days. Dealers that carry ProAc, Stirling and Graham are well outside of my area. | |
| Sale on Marantz PM Ki Ruby Integrated! Does anyone know what the phone stage gain is? Most importantly, the MM gain. Thanks. | |
| VTL preamps and amps, co status? As stated, getting service and/or upgrades on gear you didn't buy new from a dealer is a challenge. I've owned new and used VTL over the past 25 years or so. My recommendation would be to check out Manley Labs to see if they have anything that is... | |
| New Vinyl Nirvana website is up...vintage Thorens and AR turntable enthusiasts Looks great, Dave! Beautiful ‘tables. |
