| Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R. Hi Dan,Thanks for checking it out - you may have recognized Sandy Gross (Definitive Technologies), Terry O'Sullivan (Garrard/Loricraft), Roger Tolbridge (Garrard/Loricraft), and Frank Schroder (Schroeder ?).Not everyone likes the same things - tha... | |
| Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R. My old primer on MC phono step-up transformers can be found on 6 Moons Audio at:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/stepup/primer.htmlEnjoy! :) | |
| Record-playing Rituals? Chazzbo - Mikey Fremer is talking about a reverse osomosis system NOT laboratory (a.k.a. pharmaceutical) grade water. To purify the water some people will put the same water repeatedly through the RO process 5 or 6 times to remove impurities. Very... | |
| Breaking in a new cartridge,..Denon DL 103 R. Let me join in and support "hdm" and "Psychicanimal" sagacious advice. A 7" 45 RPM record dance record with lots of octave divided synthesized bass is GREAT for break-in because 45's are cut 12dB hotter than LPs. I do not know if 45 EPs are cut ho... | |

| The Schroeder has arrived Considering the panoply of equipment you are using I would be more concerned about the MC step-up to (proposed) cartridge matching. | |
| Who else prefers 5751s and why? There is good reason that you prefer the 5751s over a regular 12AX7. The 5751 was designed, primarily by RCA, as a low noise, lower gain tube than the 12AX7. It also has other characteristics that make it a little bit different than the 12AX7 (loo... | |
| Power Cord for Jolida JD-100 Hi Sam,Why are you concerned about the power cord? Sonically that is minutae compared to the output tubes. The difference is monumental when you go to very high quality (vintage) ECC83s. Manufacturer's have to use what they can get in quantity but... |
