| Cartridge upgrade for $600 If you go with Goldring get 1042 only. $350 from divineaudio.co.ukYes, I agree, stay with MM/MI. | |
| Oil For Nottingham Spacedeck? Don't do it. You don't want to take a risk. So yes I paid about $100 for a small bottle. Other oils may be safe too, but you cannot know it. Besides, the table might sound better with the oil specifically formulated for the bearing. | |
| How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ? I would probably get Lyra cartridge and whatever phono within your budget works best with it. And you do want excellent dynamics, without it there is no good sound. | |
| How will you split $3000 between phono and cart ? You didn't list the rest of your equipment and music and sound preferences.I guess, you don't want tube phono stage. | |
| What's next after Dynavector 20XL? I think, I agree that arm and probably table too should get the attention first. $1500 is not little money especially when buying used. Yeah, you could consider re-evaluating your entire analog rig. I certainly would. | |
| What's next after Dynavector 20XL? You didn't mention your table/arm/phono. | |
| Retail? Yeah, both the price at the time of purchase and current one should be mentioned.Some people do confuse the issue in their ads and also sometimes inflate the retail prices but not necessarily intentionally. | |
| What determines good distortion? Distortion is distortion. When you hear or/and feel it, it's bad. Whether it is tube or ss doing it, I have low tolerance. | |
| I tried a cheap cartridge and I LIKE IT $30 not broken-in cartridge sounds better than 1k Benz? Why was it humming anyway? You do have very good table/arm/phonostage set-up. Why don't you try some other MMs and see what happens? | |
| Why is my Nottingham picking up so much dust noise I would also check the cartridge. Can the cause of this be there? Just asking those who know more than I do. | |
| Philips vinyl pressings - France vs. Holland? Hmm..I got to try Italian pressing, I guess. What about Argentinian? There are many records from there on ebay. | |
| specific need Just get Dunlavy, saw them here, and be happy. And who knows, you might even want to cancel you order? Maybe not, doesn't matter. | |
| Goldring vs. Ortofon - Thoughts? I cannot answer your question, but if you go with Goldring get 1042, at least 1042 stylus, it is much better than lesser Goldring. 1042 is a very good cartridge. Ortofon is bright. | |
| Is good customer service about dead? Redgum from Australia is very good. Spent enough time talikng to me and answered clearly all the questions. Sent me a spare "ignition key" for my amp for free. Yes, key instead of usual power switch. Liked their English too. | |
| Philips vinyl pressings - France vs. Holland? My experience with French pressings was always negative, not with this particular album, with jazzrock and flamenco. They sounded just fine but didn't last long, developed a lot of noise. Poor vinyl quality, I guess.Yeah, Dutch, German and often U... |
