| What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan? I too was 12 when I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. It is astounding to think that show was the start of a new epoch in Rock! I agree with you that Abbey Road was their creative peak. | |
| Turntable recommendation For a budget of $1K the Pioneer PLX1000 ($699) with the Schiit Mani ($160) plus Grado Prestige ($90) and AT record weight ($38) comes in under the wire! Check out the review of the PLX1000 by Herb Reichert a few years back in the Stereophile archi... | |
| Turntable recommendation One more thing - get a record weight to be placed atop an LP during play. This will couple the LP to the turntable mat quite effectively! Nothing fancy required. AT makes a good one. | |
| Turntable recommendation @elliottbnewcombjr +1! This AT turntable for $328 is a very good choice! I'd add the Schiit Mani ($160) and a Grado Prestige cartridge ($90). The Mani and Grado are considerably better than what comes with the AT. Regarding the advice about a reco... | |
| Cheap used LP's: They're still out there! I paid $.99 + $3.65 shipping for a copy of Wishbone Ash's Locked In at an eBay auction last week! | |
| What's it all about Alfie A tip of the hat to celtic66! | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? The OP should consider getting the Sentec EQ11 if he/she is serious about collecting and archiving 78’s. I still favor the Dual 1214 over the Pioneer for sonics - and it's half the price! | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? @yogiboy : I think it was the Sentec EQ11 reviewed in the October 2014 Stereophile that caught my attention. Thanks for posting Herb Reichert’s review of the Sunvalley 1616D! That is one tasty tube preamp! Herb also mentioned he had a modded Dynac... | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? That Pioneer TT with phono stage only has the modern RIAA equalization curve. A poor choice for optimal 78 playback! | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? @yogiboy : what about phono equalization? 78's used a variety of different EQ curves! I wish I could remember the name of the phono stage with selectible EQ curves discussed in that Stereophile article! A modern era RIAA curve would be far from op... | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? That phono stage for 78's really intrigued me when I read about it in Stereophile. Wish I could remember more! | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? @yogiboy +1! I see you beat me to the finish line! Good work! I still like the idea of using a vintage Dual with the 78 speed! | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? I found a Dual 1214 on eBay that might work. Seller cindedward-4 in New Hampshire has one for $119 + $35 shipping. I sent a message asking if it has the 78 speed. Awaiting a reply. | |
| Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp? Get an old Dual TT with the 78 speed. I remember reading in Stereophile years ago about a phono stage/equalizer dedicated to optimize 78 playback. Might have been written by the late Art Dudley. Check the Stereophile archives. Grado makes stylii f... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 or Class D (GaN FET) Nothing new here. THX AAA is just a variation of feed-forward error correction. Peter Walker (Quad) used this method in 1976 with the 405 amp. Later the 306/606 and other Quad amps used feed-forward successfully. |
