| Revel F228BE Lol! No. | |
| Phono cable advice. Mogami all over eBay is all fake. | |
| Phono cable advice. Just make sure you buy from an authorized Jelco dealer, or direct. I know for a fact Chinese are cloning this cable. Anything from a not authorized source is 99.9% guaranteed to be fake. | |
| Building a $1200 RCA Interconnect Cable Where did you buy the WBT plugs from? 99.9% of all of them on the marketplace are fake. WBT has fairly soft copper alloy contacts. I never had problems soldering to any WBT plug ever and I’ve used them extensively for over 20 years now. I use prof... | |
| Phono cable advice. Jelco with the Mogami 2534 microphone cable is pretty cheaply made and uneventful as far as sound is concerned. | |
| High-end TT setup with phono stage built in Yes, SME Synergy. Not only all in one, but also one of the best turntables in the world at any price. Maybe even the best, period:https://sme.co.uk/audio/product/synergy/ | |
| Building a $1200 RCA Interconnect Cable From your description of attempted soldering, it doesn’t seem like you know what you’re doing. Leave it to those who know how. | |
| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? @fjn04 VM760SLC is a fine cartridge. I still have it like new in box. I may use it sometime in the future. Unless someone here wants to make me an offer.It’s probably my second favorite MM after 2M Black. It has a lot of detail and drive, but the ... | |
| Revel F228BE Regular SB, not Satori, and custom made for Revel. Nothing that you, nor anyone else will be able to clone. And why would you want to anyway? | |
| Best Cartridge for $1000-$1350? For the past few years, the best cartridge to me at any price is the Ortofon 2M Black. I've recently went on another cartridge hunt, trying VM760SLC, MP-500, Hana SL, Quintet Black, ART7, and a couple of others. Ortofon 2M Black remains the absolu... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @chrissain This was at the flagship Harman store in NYC with ML equipment, so if they can't set it up to sound nothing short of spectacular, that's on them. Mark Levinson stuff is okay, it used to be better. Levinson is hiding out in Europe, tryin... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @chrissain I find that they do everything well, or at least okay, but nothing exceptional. It’s almost as if they’re more interested in checking off all of the boxes. It’s safe. It’s the worst kind of product.They lack the crazy visionary. The Ste... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @chrissain So who builds them? IKEA?I’ve heard every speaker they made since the early 2000s. | |
| Phono cable advice. I’ll make a recommendation to OP. Try the Ortofon 6NX-TSW-1010 phono cable. I believe it’s built by Zonotone out of Japan, correctly shielded, and has premium components throughout. Sounds very good IMO. | |
| Phono cable advice. @chakster Get high quality Sn62 (2% silver) and save your money. |
