| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used Not considering the color, Tyler reference monitor would be a good choice. Sold used in audiogon at around $700. It is called monitor, but a bit larger than usual bookshelf speakers. | |
| the perfect tonearm And, I would say that Ortofon RMG 309 dynamic tonearm is one of perfect tonearms. | |
| the perfect tonearm The SAEC UXL3, Victor L1000 and Audio Technica LH-18, all these weight: 18grs.Thanks.I would eventually need an SPU cartridge to work with RMG 309, but I am trying to find a (cheaper) way to use Denon 103r which is 8.5g. With 18g headshell, I woul... | |
| the perfect tonearm Regarding Orsonic AV-101B/S being 16 gr, would that be one of the heaviest headshell? Any heavier one (except Ortofon SPU)? | |
| The Thorens 124 Fromunda,One of my friends told me that Ortofon 309 or 212 arm will best match with Silver Meister SPU. So, I would believe that you got the magic sound.Have you ever tried with different cartridge/headshells with your Ortofon arm? | |
| The Thorens 124 How much would TD124 be better with Ortofon dynamic arm and SPU cartridge? | |

| Which to get rid of, TD145 MKii or Dual 1219? Mechans,Good suggestion. I would probably need to sell both and save more bucks to go for something noticeably better. | |
| Which to get rid of, TD145 MKii or Dual 1219? What do you mean by marking wildly? Pricing too high?I am not aware of recent interests in the Dual table. But I see that the price of entry level Thorens turntables (TD145, 146, 150, 160, 165, 166, ...) and Dual turntables have risen steadily, as... | |
| Tube failure -- what would happen in worst case? I had twice tube failures on my Chinese MC10L.Both times, a fuse and a register sitting next to the tube blew off, and smoke came.First time it happened a couple of months after I changed the whole four tubes. After that, I learned how to set the ... | |
| Thorens TD146/160 with Ortofon 309 arm? Thanks Br3098.I guess the long arm may not fit to the table anyway without heavy modification, and it surely looks like no match.My Thorens table is 145 MKii, not 146. Goofyfoot, I would not mind if this thread got piggy backed or even hijacked. I... | |
| Speaker height vs ceiling height Thanks all. Looks like things are more complicated than I thought. I would not try anything taller than 5 foot. | |
| High end speakers without bi-wiring? I had also tried bi-wiring with different sets of cables. Clear Day shotgun and Signal cable. My friend always liked the sound of Signal cable on woofer and Clear Day on tweeter because such setup produced deeper base and clear mid/high. The rever... | |
| High end speakers without bi-wiring? Thanks for all responses.It's been a while, but I had tried Clear Day Shotgun cables, both biwire and single wire with double core. Price was the same. I could not quite notice the difference between the two. However, both cables were better than ... |
