| Fidelity Research FR-64x Japanese have always used Stevenson or Stevenson like alignments. They are the worst. Both Lofgren A and B are significantly better in distortion and real world sound. Raul is right. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x @chakster B1 is a buffer, not passive, right? Passive preamps sound horrible. | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale Have you guys seen what Linn is charging for a new LP12? Has to be the biggest rip off in audio today. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Old heavy clunker. Same goes for the Lustre. People should let these things die. | |
| Phono Preamps with "balls" ? But what JFETs should we use? Fake Chinese junk Toshibas from eBay? Or the mostly crap LS? I've just about had it with those guys. Last batch I ordered directly from them of LSK389Cs, 50% didn't meet spec. Sure, some of us have NOS parts. But this... | |
| Please Rate These Cartridges in Best Overall Order of Sonic Importance. Recommended Arms? @professorsvsu Fake news if I ever heard it. 2M body is not the same throughout the range. Not even close. Black and Bronze are significantly more advanced with better motors and silver plated coils. | |
| Best phono cartridge under $350 Ortofon 2M. | |

| 1K sleeper MC cart? @dgarretson But if you can afford an expensive exotic cartridge, surely you can afford a proper replacement? If you bought a Ferrari and the engine failed, would you replace it with an engine from a Dodge minivan? Rich people who can afford expens... | |
| 1K sleeper MC cart? @crazyeddy Because it’ll just simply not sound the same. Different cantilever, different stylus, different suspension, different materials. Why spend the money on something that will be different than the original you like, when you can just simpl... | |
| Lyra Delos A truth teller or what? That Funk Firm mat is nothing more than PVC foam sheet. Available at any hardware store or sign store for pennies. And obviously comes in the same colors Funk Firm uses. When it comes to plastic mats, I like acrylic better. Any used laserdisc can ... | |
| Please Rate These Cartridges in Best Overall Order of Sonic Importance. Recommended Arms? SME is almost always the right answer. They haven't let me down once. | |
| Jico V LP Gear or any other replacement stylus @lohanimal I did not mis read OP. If you cannot get original stylus, toss the cartridge into garbage and look for another good cartridge. Maybe something new and current? Or maybe good condition used/NOS? Lots of options out there. There's no poin... | |
| Please Rate These Cartridges in Best Overall Order of Sonic Importance. Recommended Arms? Ortofon 2M Black in any modern SME tonearm. | |
| Jico V LP Gear or any other replacement stylus Stick with original, or don't waste your money. It really is that simple. None of those Jicos sound any good and certainly won't sound like the original. |
