| Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2? Hello Rafael,I had the LA-300ME to full spec now. I only have about 20 hours on it, but from the first moment the improvements were quite obvious. The bass is deeper and tighter, the highs are silkier and more "luxurious" if you will. More detail ... | |
| Magnesium headhells for a Dynavector? Rap_hawthorn, Audiofeil, Raul,Thanks for the clarification. For the wrong reason, I've been calling it a 5-pin headshell for while and probably have kept calling it like that had not been for your correction.There is a Nagaoka magnesium headshell ... | |
| Magnesium headhells for a Dynavector? That's how it's usually described. My guess is that the fifth pin is the vertical alignment pin. You can get more information about it here.Best,iSanchez | |

| Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2? Hello Rafael,"Are you suggesting that the sonic improvment you observed and described are due more from Jouole-Electra LA-300ME preamp or your Spectron Musician III Mk2 amplifiers?"That is correct. This kind of bass depth, weight, pitch, definitio... | |
| Joule Electra LA-150 MK3 vs MK2? Hello Rafael,Thanks for the insight.Hello Lightminer,I don't have a Supratek, but I've had the Joule Electra Marianne Memorial Edition preamp for a few months now. This is a fantastic preamp by any measure and I have already written about it in th... | |

| SME V, Tri-Planar or Phantom B-44 ? Hi Aoliviero. Welcome back!In regards to you comments, any structure under load resonates at a particular frequency. Such is the case of the cartridge/tonearm system.The cartridge "compliance", determined by its suspension stiffness, and the tonea... | |
| Acoustic Signature Turntables Acoustic Signature is really back in business!I contacted Acoustic Signature asking them where I can get replacement belts for my Mambo. After two years, the belt seemed still fine, but I thought it was time to replace it. I got a response the sam... | |
