| Step Up Transformer housing case -- available? Many thanks for your input and detailed pictures. I guess I can follow the steps without too much difficulty. | |
| Mismatch - between SUT and MC cartridge. Thanks for your response.It is good to know that the voltage level matching is much more important than the impedance level matching. I've listened to many more LPs in more serious manner, and I guess I would like it, even though I cannot say that... | |
| Upgrading cartridge used or new? It is a gamble and would be a hit or miss.I've bought 5 or so used cartridges/stylus in the past 10 years, and 4 were pretty good and 1 was defective. Still, I paid for less than a third of the new price for each, so it worked for me.The most impo... | |
| Mismatch - between SUT and MC cartridge. Thanks Raul,I have used Ortofon MC20 with Ortofon T20 SUT, and they match pretty good and the sound is wonderful. I also have an Ortofon MC100 which has similar output level with MC20, but requires a higher load impedance (>10ohm vs 2~4 ohm).Ev... | |
| got the HW-19, now need advise on cartridge I have both Grado Prestige Gold and Audio Technica AT150mlx. Very different cartridges.As said, Grado Gold will be on warm side, but AT150mlx is more bright and detailed. | |
| Help: right channel not working on Yamaha rx-v3000 The digital to 5.1 converter, with the 6.1 channel input from the receiver, worked just fine. It cost me $60 for the converter and I guess I can save the Yamaha receiver for a while. | |
| Help: right channel not working on Yamaha rx-v3000 Thanks for response.Looks like DAC parts are dead.I ordered digital to 5.1 analog signal converter. Hope it would work, even with sound quality degrade. | |
| Help: right channel not working on Yamaha rx-v3000 With further testing, I've found out the receiver does not work for all digital inputs, but it works for analog input. That is, if I play my CD player with RCA jacks, the receiver works for both inputs, but with digital connection, the right chann... | |
| Setting up wireless digital music server Pioneer VSX-1122-K is a multi-channel Network Ready A/V Receiver. The spec says iPhone, iPod, and iPhone can work as a remote control. This may be a trend in the coming years. Customers may look for wireless network connection to music server as o... | |
| Setting up wireless digital music server Thanks for reply. Looks like it is simpler than I thought.Mac Mini Plus would be nice, but I want to try Sonos solution. At the moment I am not worrying too much about the sound quality. For serious listening I can use my BAT vk60/vk30 with Tyler ... | |
| turntable isolation feet I'll give a try to viropods. I had used a bike tire once. With an inch thick wood chopping board. I will also try it and see if there's any difference.Thx | |
| turntable isolation feet I have Thorens TD145, Clearaudio Bluemotion, Dual 1019, and Garrard 309. Garrard is with an old plinth and I am replacing it a new plinth. I will use Ortofon RMG 309 arm, and in the future, I will have an SPU cartridge. All other tables are with s... | |
| Headshell for RMG 309? I've found that Denon 103 is too light for SPU headshell. RMG 309 has a ocunter weight that can add up to 6g. The tonearm will balance at 32g headshell/cartridge. So, if the tracking force is 2g, the headshell/cartridge combined weight has to be a... | |
| Please Recommend a Cartridge for a Thorens TD-145 I have TD145 MKII with TP63 tonearm (removable armwand). I haven't used the Stanton cartridge, but I've used TD145 with Grado Gold and Audio Technica AT150mlx. Both worked very good and I think either will perform better than the Stanton. | |
| Subwoofer connection Thanks for your comments.The subwoofer has a 300W amp (from Keiga) and 12" woofer.Currently, I have two different systems that I can use with the subwoofer. 1. 50W tube integrated amp with Tyler ref monitor2. BAT vk60/vk30 with Tyler Linbrook syst... |
