| Triplanar RCA out to Balanced out for MP-1 Nandric,If you are unwilling to attempt a rewire and intend to keep the components you now have (I'm a happy AtmaSphere MA-1 amp owner and LOVE the sound!), I suggest you contact Albert at Space Tech Labs about adding one of his tube buffer/RCA-ba... | |
| Is extremely accurate "VTA" adjustment necessary? The up to 7 degree variation in VTA while playing presumably applies to warped records. The question then becomes: Can listeners consistently identify the warped copy in "blind" listening to the same music on two identical record pressings, one fl... | |
| I need a turntable, only have $450 to spare... Is the cartridge a Shure V15 Type III LM? That was the stock cart for many of the 700 series tables, and a good one. I have an JICO "SAS" replacement stylus for that cartridge that I played only once, as I preferred my tried and true Pickering XSV... | |
| I need a turntable, only have $450 to spare... If considering Dual tables, contact Bill Neumann in Des Moines. Google "fixmydual". He almost certainly has fully refubished 1200 series tables well within your budget. I recently traded in a 704 for a 701, and he may have that one still around.Wi... | |
| I need a turntable, only have $450 to spare... If one thinks all direct drives are noisy, they've not heard a well-maintained Dual 701/721 w/EDS1000 motor...Actually, they'd "not" hear it! | |
| Looking for a great, inexpensive phono stage... If you're using an MM cart, get a used Bottlehead Seduction w/CS4 upgrade. They hold value well for an eventual resale. | |
| Servo Controlled Arm Hiho,I, too, believe that the design and engineering of some of these old tables yielded wonderful performance that is too often dismissed by folks who've not heard them with open minds and ears. Vinyl was king during the era of their development ... | |
| Help: DSOTM Sounds better on CD than LP I'll wager your cdp sounds very nice.I own an Esoteric P70 that feeds a dCS Scarlatti stack (DAC/Upsampler/Clock) that never fails to bring musical enjoyment.For context, I grew up up wax. "Meet the Beatles" was the first lp my sibs and I bought i... | |
| Siltech SQ-110 Classic MK2 question. You have nice cables.I'd spend money on more music. | |
| cartridge for Dual 604 I have a Dual 701 and found the Pickering XSV5000 to better all others I own, including: Clearaudio Vituoso Wood, Ortofon Super OM40 and Shure V15 Type III.A UK seller on Ebay is now offering a NEW-Pickering-XV15-625E with 2 new spare styli for $1... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? The new Bottlehead Eros kit is quite something for $1000 professionally assembled! | |
| KCI Pure Gold and the benefits Hi John,As you may remember, last year I exchanged a pair of Silkworm balanced for a shorter (.5m) pair of single ended Silkworm SE cables and never got around to sharing my impressions.They connect a Bottlehead Eros phono stage to a highly modifi... | |
| Help with Pioneer PL-707 I have a strobe disk, so I'll test accuracy of speed tonight.If the platter speeds are accurate I'm good to go.Funny, the Nagaoka sounds dark on a Dual 701 I have, but really sings on the Pioneer. I'd thought of selling the Nagaoka, but not now. | |
| Help with Pioneer PL-707 Thanks, Johnbrown.I'm leaning toward the "clean/look/enjoy" plan. I'd not trust my soldering skills on cap replacement, but I can do the DeoxIT thing and swap out the output cables for new and hardwire them on the inside. The tonearm moves smoothl... | |
| Help with Pioneer PL-707 Correction:I found a spec sheet that states the arm and headshell are "graphite polymer". |
