| I'm new to Step Up Transformers @chipcalzone : The cables from the SUT into the phono stage should be as short as possible to avoid loading down the transformer secondary. This is something that many users of SUT's are unaware of. My Cotter SUT came with fixed output cables of t... | |
| Best sounding closed back headphones under 100$ Grado! | |
| Favorite Cover Album Sinatra Sings the Beatles! | |
| 220v / 110v - Anthem STR Power Amplifier I agree! Buy a proper size/watts AC step-up transformer on Amazon. You don't need to spend $500! | |
| Marantz model 8 Saul Marantz was still owner and running Marantz in 1962. Apparently he had a facility in California building components. I doubt there will be a difference in value compared to the Long Island, NY production. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers I checked and the Paua is indeed a moving iron cartridge like all the others in the Soundsmith line. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers Isn't the Soundsmith Paua a moving iron cartridge? That's the mechanism used by Grado and some others. No SUT required. | |
| New Amp Advice Why would you want to spend $40-45K? I guess you belong to the 1% Class. There is nothing wrong with your Michi amp. It is competently designed. All competently-designed amps will sound alike. I recommend the Fosi V3 Monos with two 48 volt power s... | |
| Kenwood KD 650, Stanton cartridge I have one! It's worth at least $500. List it on USAudio Mart and save on paying a listing fee. | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out @sls883 I agree! Aging tubes tend to get noisy! Good to have some spares on hand! | |
| Favorite scream in rock? White Rabbit sung by Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane. "Feed your head..." | |
| Listening Just listen to music. I can't stand reading when music is on. I have to read in silence. I can't stand doing housework with music on either! I can listen to NPR though! | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge I use moving coil cartridges because they are immune to capacitance loading, same for Grado moving iron cartridges. | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge You can also experiment with the capacitance loading by using a phono cable with more or less capacitance. Moving magnet cartridges are quite sensitive to this in their high frequencies. I would try adding more capacitance. What is the capacitance... | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge Try lowering the back end of the cartridge. That will alter the high frequencies. Something I have done on Grado's. The VM740ML is an excellent mm cartridge! |
