| Advice - What turntable should I buy ??? It sounds like you want to get back in with the least fuss. A turntable/arm combo with dealer-installed cartridge is your best option in that case. At that budget, you may want to commit to MM carts, many of which are as good as anyone really can ... | |
| To those with multiple tables/arms/cartridges For me, a two arm table allows for casual/"other room" listening (Ortofon VMS30 mkii on Signet XK50), saving wear on the main arm and costlier cartridge. With 5 spare VMS styli, it's quite cost-effective. The vintage cart/arm performs well enough ... | |
| Looking for an advice about speaker cables For the diy-er, the Nanotech Systems 777 with Furutech rhodium spades are very good. The wire is very easy to work with. Sound wise, I am totally satisfied. | |
| Stylus force digital scales Another recommendation for the Shure scale. Accurate and easy to use. | |
| High Quality Digital Coax RCA to BNC Adaptors I have tried seven or so different BNC to RCA adapters and hear obvious differences. Some are sold as 75 Ohm, yet no RCA connector can be. Black Cat Audio makes one specific to digital audio and it sounds best to me. So good, in fact, that I'll no... | |
| Audience Conductor "E" or "SE" speaker cable? I 've changed from monoblocks to a stereo amp and now have a spare 1 m E and a 1.2 m SE pair , both pairs with spade termination. Former is 8/10 and latter essentially unused ( about 25 hours). I f anyone has interest, contact me. I can post a cla... | |
| Views on Siltech cables with Pass Labs Pre/Power Don't dismiss Siltech. The SQ-110 is very good, as is the G6 Forbes Lake. I still own the latter and haven't had another brand unseat it (though I find Stealth Indra and Klee Acoustics on par). I found the older SQ-110 clearly better than the 770i... | |
| CAT Jl-1 Owners Manual ? Email/telephone Ken at CAT. He biases his amps now at lower mA than back in the day, and his new recommendation applies to the JL-1. I recently spoke with him about this.John | |
| SP-10 Mat This is what I've used for several years on my SP-10:Custom Design Inert Turntable Matthttp://www.analogueseduction.net/turntable-mats/custom-design-inert-turntable-matt-for-suspended-turntables-.htmlYou'll need the stainless steel version. | |
| Dynavector DV20x2H cart for MM phono stage ? Since the A21 amp has balanced inputs, you may look for a used AtmaSphere MP-3 linestage with optional phono stage. They occasionally show up for sale at your budget and are quite good. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? CAT JL-x with KT-120 output tubes | |
| Cartridge Ortofon VMS 30 mkII | |
| Audiophile Balanced XLR Y Cables I have a custom made pair from Jena Labs to sell, as I no longer biamp. Email me if interested.John | |
| Need tonearm recommendations Discontinued version Origin Live Silver mk2 arms are put up for Ebay auction regularly by O.L. at a low start price. It meets your criteria if not bid up too much. | |
| SME III Tonearm: Classic or Dinosaur? Has anyone compared the SME III to the Signet XK50 with the high compliance cartidges they were designed for? |
