| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I agree. For someone like me who is more interested in listening to music at the best sonics instead of spending hours fiddling around with loupes and what not, ease of use is very important. I'd rather set up the cartridge spot on once and get on... | |
| loading resistor question Just ordered Vishay tx2575 500ohms. Will update when I get them and hear them. Should be better than the RatShack metal films I have installed now. It better be at the price. | |
| loading resistor question Thank you for all your responses. So it looks like the loading resistor in a phono preamp indeed does make a difference in the quality of the sound.I'll investigate some more and get a decent pair of 500 ohm resistors. The Sutherland PhD load card... | |
| loading resistor question I like 500 ohm the best so far. 1k ohm is a bit tippy bright. 200 ohm is a bit too dark.The Sutherland PhD has a loading card which you fill with resistors of your choice. The cards have a limit on the size of the resistors. A standard axial 1/4 w... | |
| loading resistor question After some research, I don't think loading resistor on a phono preamp will be too picky on the make of the resistor.I am going to try 500 ohms with my cartridge. 1/4 watt. I might just try a few different makes, Vishay and Takman or so and see if ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment @DertonarmI have the Clearaudio jig. It has 4 different setups including the standard IEC one. They contend that the 72mm is better for most LPs because they have a long lead out groove.By the way, does your jig work with cartridges with very low ... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Looks quite impressive! Great work, Dertonarm. | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic? It's the 0.5mv Statement1. Works fine with 60db gain. | |
| Cartridge for VPI Classic? Currently using Grado Statement1 on my 10.5i arm. Sounds wonderful after some tweaks that Mike at VPI recommended to me. | |
| How can anyone afford this ? @Jyprez:For a NYC reasonable fee, I will help you find a satisfactory rig! ;-) | |
| How can anyone afford this ? I see some are bashing NYC. I have to say, for me, it worked out great. And I love the city. I find NYC to have a great financial advantage in hifi. If you manange to settle in NYC, you will likely have a higher income than pretty much anywhere el... | |
| Opinions on Mogami Cable? The 2534s sound much more transparant than the 2549s wired as SEs. The thing is I've never had interference problems with any cables... So I can't really say but in theory, the quad should be the best for noise. | |
| Opinions on Mogami Cable? @TholtHow did you come to the conclusion that 2534 has more shielding than a 2549? They look the same braided shield to me. the 2534 is a quad and 2549, 2 conductor with shield. Anyway, to my ears, the 2534 sounded better than the 2549 in balanced... | |
| Opinions on Mogami Cable? Mogami 2534s for balanced xlr and 2549s for SE. Great for the price. | |
| Settling on a cartridge? VPI guys-question? I am using Grado Statement1 and it works very well once you set it up very carefully. |
