Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
thanks Raul, I'm going to dig out that 97 and see what all the fuss is about! 
Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.
The fact that many of us make time to listen to vinyl, there must be some merit to it. I love my telarc discs, something about the bass I just don't get with vinyl. But of my three versions of Kind of blue, the classic records vinyl is best by a w... 
Would Like To Hear From Strain Gauge Owners
I agree with all of you. For the record, Raul has given me very helpful advice on these forums, I simply got caught up in the passion of it all, and perhaps allowed my own dogma to colour my previous post... Consider this a retraction(?) and thank... 
Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.
eldatford your first statement is ridiculous. Eighty percent of my records were produced before digital even existed! Yes I have some thin sounding digitally remastered records, what of it? Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses, but I d... 
phono stage upgrade from Denon pre-amp
Bottlehead seduction. I ran a dl-110 thru mine for a while, good match.I have heard good things about the Project, never heard it, but the bottlehead has quite a dedicated following, and is very tweak-able.You can usually find them used for around... 
Building high-end 'tables cheap at Home Despot II
You two remind me of a great old song.... " Love is in the air......."Ahhh... the seventies!

And yes Viridian, I agree with you as well, However let's not leave the master tapes out of the equation! :-)Only thing my TT is missing is an analog to digital converter, so I can run it thru my DAC, and 'smooth out the sound' a bit! 
Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.
Eldartford..... I am not digiphobic, I actually own a cd player AND a dvd player, and yes I am aware of digital mixing AND mastering. At the end of the day, I listen to vinyl more than I listen to cd's because I like it. I like listening to cd's t... 
Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.
I think it is simple. The end goal in audio is to reproduce analog sound, an lp playback system is completely analog front to back, whereas digital systems take an analog source, converted to digital, and then reconvert it to analog. There's a who... 
What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R?
btw, I am going to experiment with one of uwe's wood bodies on the 103 next, as it is a mod that can easily be reversed. 
What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R?
Acee, yes I encountered the same problem with my 103r (cinemag sut) but I found that if I changed the settings on the cinemag to 'high' it really fleshed things out.Mapman, regarding your 103r, please remember my 'review' is for the 103.... I have... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
raul, how do I change impedance loading? I have a bottlehead seduction at the moment, but I also have a solid state phono that I am not using... 
What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R?
of course, I no longer have stock versions to a/b but the improvements are of such a magnitude that it is, even to my wife, apparent that the cartridge is now in a completely different class. 
What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R?
the stock 103 had low hours on it when I sent it for the retip. I had read about the service, and became obsessed with it. The improvements in clarity, detail, and texture are abundant. The bass is no longer 'plummy' but is tight, clean, and solid... 
What cartridges under $800 outperform DL-103R?
FWIW, I recieved my ss retipped ( ruby line contact) nuded dl103 r, and dl 103 from peter a couple of months ago..... The 103 was mounted and ' run in' and guess what? It ain't coming off, I don't even want to know what the retipped 103r sounds li...
