| Oyaide or Furutech plugs I'd choose Oyaide. There's a lot of evidence that suggests Furutech is actually a Taiwanese company rather than Japanese, with a lot of their products being made in Taiwan. | |
| Mofi Ultra Tracker, reviews, opinions? The innards are built by Audio Technica and it’s basically a VM line in a different body. It’s a great MM cartridge. | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II Maybe you just don't like the way the cartridge sounds. Try a different cartridge. | |
| Gonna have to ditch the Soundsmith Carmen II Best MM cartridges right now are the 2M Black and VM760SLC.If I was buying MC, it would be exactly one of the two you listed. I think those are fantastic choices. If I had to pick one, it would probably be the ART9Go go for it! | |
| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? 2M Red is an excellent entry level cartridge. I had several of them and they did not lack detail. When I hear "lack of detail" the first thing that comes to mind is VTA.Make sure your VTA is set correctly. With tracking force set at 1.8g (and veri... | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable Not much to say, it's one of the best turntables on the current market at any price. Sounds better in Fremer's videos against his $150,000.00 turntable and $40,000.00 tonearm. | |
| ORTOFON 100TH ANNIVERSARY SALE Everyone should stock up on the 2M Black. Best currently produced cartridge in the world. | |
| Oh no, there's metal in your records! OP, that guy sounds like a complete fraud. Stay away! $240 yearly subscription to find you records. LOL. You just can't make this stuff up. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun,You can send your noisy bad sounding GAE to me anytime. I'll even pay for shipping. :) | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) audiofun,I'm sure you have at least something in your home connected to the mains which uses a SMPS, i.e. TV, Blu-ray player, Xbox, cable box, phone charger, computer, etc. Your mains are contaminated as it is, why worry about the turntable's powe... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Good SMPS should have an RF filtered IEC inlet to prevent contamination of the mains. Does the SL-1200G not have it? I would be surprised.Going back to Devialet, all of their amplifiers and powered speakers have RF filtered IEC inlets. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I have a Devialet LE 120 amplifier which has an SMPS and it’s one of the best sounding amplifiers I’ve ever heard. On par with the best pure analogue amps such as Goldmund Mimesis 3. I’m sure Technics can and did build a state of the art SMPS for ... | |
| Cartridge help VTA is the first thing I would check. Raise the tonearm by several millimeters and see if that improves things. Ortofon recommends an input load impedance greater than 20 Ohms. 100 Ohms should be fine. But if you want to try 20, you can make RCA c... | |
| additional processing and customs charges on goldring 1006 or nagaoka mp150 Just because several manufacturers used beryllium for their top models, it doesn't mean that boron is not the ultimate cantilever material. BTW, some of your mentioned beryllium cartridges make wonderful sound. Boron, beryllium, aluminum... There ... | |
| additional processing and customs charges on goldring 1006 or nagaoka mp150 There's just simply nothing better than boron for cantilever material. Japanese got it right. Boron is only 20% denser than beryllium, but boron is 50%+ stiffer. Beryllium cantilevers only come in a rod form, whereas boron can be made into a pipe.... |
