| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? Got the Audiomods Classic 11 arm. Great. Improvements appeared subtle at first, more apparent with a bit of time. Not long after had a little accident with my Shelter 501 mk 11 cartridge. Found a just retipped one on evil bay. It's just bliss now,... | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? Ok thanks for the info. Re tonearms, what do suggest as a replacement for the RB250? Not in a position to spend four figures on an arm. Second hand is probably the go for me. | |
| Review: Expressimo Audio Half Moon Heavyweight Tweak I haven't tried any others, & frankly don't want to get sucked into the vortex of doing so. I took a punt with this product & kicked a goal. I can't imagine you being disappointed. | |
| Which cartridge should I upgrade to now? Only interested in MC. I'm in Sydney. As I mentioned, Denon DL 103R can be gotten for $330 out here.Phono stage is a Lehmann Black Cube with external psu. That could be upgraded too, & the table, but funds don't permit that at this stage.Re ge... | |
| Turntable sibilance Sorry the response re tonearm wiring should have been in response to Parrotbee, not Pops. | |

| Turntable sibilance Re the Reference 1, that's definitely not the problem. I've only had it for two weeks, the problem was the same with the Dynavector SSP/101 I was using before that.Cartridge break in isn't it, the cartridge was actually bought used from someone on... | |

| Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc The reason people are considering pro amps at all is the ludicrous prices of audiophile power amps of any decent power (e.g.300w per side at 8 ohms). Im a live & studio sound engineer of 35 yrs, but I'm an audiophile at heart. I would concur t... | |
| Help with turntable response anomaly Thanks for your responses. Sorry, forgot to mention peak is between approx 1.4-1.6k. The arm has been rewired with Cardas wire. I'm aware that lots of people replace the counterweight- was hoping to avoid spending more bucks but will def. consider... |
