Did I do a good thing or not?
Lewm, I've never heard my LP setup sound this good before. It might be that this cartridge is a much better match for my Dynavector arm, than The Acutex. It might be if I use Dover's method of setting balance weight to the arm, I might ba blown aw... 
Did I do a good thing or not?
Lewm, Dover, I used the method you described, and that worked a treat!  My analog front end is much improved in the depth I hear into the music. Analog has never sounded as good as it does right now. I'm a happy man. Thanks and regards, Dan

Who has a manual? If I ever had one, I lost it long ago. I don't know if Dynavector still and ifo on their websits, but I guess I'll check and see. Thanks, Dan

Dover I'll try that next time I fire up my Garrard. Thanks for the tip! Regards, Dan

Hell to all. Finished up the installation of the Shure V-15 Type 5 MR last night, first record was a wowser, the second even more so (Eric Burden's "Til Your River Runs Dry"). Great album, and sounded spectacular. I just sat with my mouth hanging ... 
Herron VTPH-2 added to system (almost)
Yes Noromance, it does, though it's not an ass-kicking. I put my new cartridge on tonight (new to me), a Shure V-15 Type 5 MR and new stylus, and my analog front end has never souded better. I couldn't be happier with how it sounds, and that's al...

After Saturday is when I'll know. That's when the new stylus arrives, so Saturday will be ike Christmans around here!  
Did I do a good thing or not?
Much to my surprise, my new cartridge (sans stylus) arrived today, in perfect shape.. Pretty quick, all the way from New York, New York. Shure was really trying to make a statement with this cartridge and its packaging. Verry luxurious. Can't wa... 
Did I do a good thing or not?
Yes, Audioguy, I was just informed about the discontinuation of the stylus. Yesterday, I ordered a Jico SAS/S VN5MR to replace it.

Dover, I am so glad to hear this news. Now that I'm a certified old fart, these kind of exercises are fun, and don't cost too much. I wonder it it'll outshine the Dynavector XX2MKII (a real verteran around here, with a SS retip aboard), an AT ART-...

In my misspent youth, I had a V-15 Type IV, but back in those days, I barely knew how to set up a cartridge, so I'm curious how the V-15 will sound on my current lash-up. Just please allow an old man to get his jollies off somehow! Best to all, ... 
Did I do a good thing or not?
Well, gentlemen, I was wondering what knid of a response I would get to my question,. I had a V-15 Tyve IV back in the nether days of my audio life. Back then, I barely knew how to set up an arm and cartridge. When I decided to get back into anal... 
3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes.
Grannyring, I really appreciate your comments. My wife has been the hardest working woman I've ever known. She loved gardening so much, in the summer, it would be dark outside and she would still be out in the yard working.. I view her in total ... 
Leaving my amplifier on ok?
I have  five amps I use every day. There are 4 d amps that I leave on 24/7. Also in use is a single-ended 812 amp, that is in use most of the time (cuz it's so good!)  There is an SET 300B that is used rarely (it makes a good back up when necessar... 
3C24 tube amp recently converted to 812 ouput power tubes.
Markus, the change in the design in of this amp was all Paul's idea. I seemed to be having problems with the combination of the 3C24 tubes and the other small tubes the 3c's worked with. I only started using tube amps a few years ago, I went from ...
