| Nottingham tonearms compared to other brands? I have not but some here have; you could search the archive. If I remember right, the general consensus was that one would have to put an $2k or more Origin Live arm to better Spacearm mounted on the Spacedeck. I have no intention of doing it with... | |
| Number of yrs. to reach the finished line? My quest will never stop for as long as I can hear at least a single note. That doesn't mean that I am going to spend a fortune though; just $500 on every piece on average including a set of isolation cones, no more. | |
| Cassette Deck?? Tapes recorded on other decks sound excellent on Nak, at least as far as I can tell. Also, tapes that I recorded on my 682ZX sounded great in my Sony car deck.But Nakamichi decks require attention. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Not many here are familiar with the Strain Gauge, even fewer who use it with SME if at all. I certainly have no idea. Cartridge shopping is tough especially at this level. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 I knew it! I just said Brinkman because that's what I suggested. Both that Dyna and Air Tight are in high esteem. Cartridge choice is a very personal one, more than the table/arm. You should really talk to those who have SME set-up, their preferen... | |
| mogami interconnects Well, one should really be patient with cables. Normal break-in time is at least 100 hours often more. Purist Audio says 150 hours for their cables. | |
| Still Looking for Amplifier Power cord What speaker cables do you use? Also, you want cheap cord or good cord? This is rarely if ever the same. You could try Custom Power Cord Co. model 11. It is inexpensive, I think I saw it here. | |
| Where to use Isolation devices I agree, it appears that the right combination of coupling and de-coupling devices gives the best result.I am going to try this approach with speakers as well, that's spiked speakers with Boston Audio tuneblocks for speakers under them. | |
| Best phono box for Rega P3-24TT/ Dynavector MC Flexibility and quality do not necessarilly go together. For example, LAMM phono stage is not very flexible but extremely good. My current phono, Acoustech, is somewhat less flexible than Simaudio but sounds really good with Dyna10X5 which I think... | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Let me guess. You are buying Brinkmann Balance with Schroeder arm, right? | |
| $1000 upgrade. Opinions? Do any of you think that Nakamichi PA-7 power amp would seriously improve the sound? It's got the power and the current though I don't know how it would match with the Audiolab pre-amp. It should match well with the speakers though. | |
| $1000 upgrade. Opinions? Yup, I saw them too. They were in the San-Francisco Bay area and were not 100% functional; the tuning was not working.Yes, very difficult to find.What did you replace Classic 60 with? | |
| Where to use Isolation devices I would put everything on Audiopoints to begin with and see what happens. Personally, I use various devices under everything: Audiopoints, Polycrystal footers and speaker spikes, Boston Audio tuneblocks, Mapleshade isoblocks and some inexpensive G... | |
| My love of music is killing me. Dean is not talking. Perhaps things are getting worse. | |
| SME 20/3 or Oracle Delphi VI or Garrard 301 Right. Also, though not often mentioned and hard to guess, but there should be a kind of match between your analog front end and the rest of the system. You have Krell and B&W ? I would speculate that SME would give you more resolution and dyn... |
