| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? I have little problem with audiophile "sound engineering", by the way, for as long as the essence of the performance is conveyed, but personally I would prefer doing it down the chain not at the source. On the other hand, many esteemed audiophiles... | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? So do I know how orchestra sounds, and small bands, and vocals etc. Unfortunately, some tape masters deteriorated and their dubs will no longer be reference, in this case your original pressing record will be reference. And if you can find a succ... | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? I got it. It's Ortofon. So, yes, there is an answer to this question. Demagogues and dilettantes don't have answers and even don't understand questions, pros do. Thank you. | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Speaking of soundstage, one 8" woofer can do it very well. It very much depends on electronics, including tubes. I had some vintage GE 12AX7 tubes in the preamp of VAC integrated when I bought it. Then I replaced them with vintage Mullard long pla... | |
| New buy, no return policy Speaking of French, anyone has JM Labs Grand Utopia speakers ? | |
| New buy, no return policy No idea about Stockholm. French don't like to service even each other, to put it mildly, let alone foreigners. But they would still be happy to do you a favour and take your money. As one French man put it - We like money as much as Americans do ... | |
| What are the most balanced relatively neutral cartridges at each price level ? You don't compare vinyl to digital, you compare it to master tape dubs. Deck's playback head is your reference "cartridge". Best decks', of course. Generally speaking, cartridges are very coloured, aren't they ? Added colourations, negative colou... | |
| New buy, no return policy Oh, some of you guys never show your faces in Paris, France. They will throw you out of any decent establishment, literally. | |
| New buy, no return policy I don't buy anything from amazon if I can avoid it, in almost all cases I can and do. Go ahead, do what you do, but don't complain later. | |
| Which amplifier Consider Gryphon Diablo as well. A hell of an amp with great dynamics and bass. | |
| Tube vibration control Everything should vibrate in a right way. You do tuning and fine tuning. I wouldn't even think about putting that stuff on tubes. Yeah, you need the right tubes and work on finding the best stand for each piece of the equipment, starting with the ... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Doesn't it bother you people that cartridges sound so different ? | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? If you want to leave tubes, I think you have to go higher than any Rowland, Pass or Sugden. This means top SS level - Boulder, D'Agostino, Gryphon, Vitus, Soulution, DarTzeel, maybe Accuphase etc. You can't afford them, not even close, so forget a... | |
| New buy, no return policy soix, exactly, we should go back to the 20th. century and start doing things the right way again. Internet commerce is good for cables and used equipment. Stop buying new equipment on-line, no matter the price, just stop it. I believe in the equa... | |
| Is there usually a dramatic difference between $5k and $10k cartridges ? Bugatti is real bad for the ecology. But if you must engage in this BS it's not any Italian, it's Koenigsegg. You know how to drive, anyway ? It's quite different from comparing cartridges. |
