| Top This Albert- Running 110v to the gravesight with an RV-type hook-up on the side of the casket would add a nice touch of realism. Check your local codes......Jim | |
| Music to test with: I test with the same kind of music that I usually listen to. If one enjoys classical, there would be no real point to having a test that emphasizes vocals. Likewise, if one likes piano music, why would testing criteria emphasize hard-driving rock?... | |
| state songs -- our suggestions? I'm with Marakanetz on Chris Rhea's "I'm Going to Texas". Or perhaps a couple of Lyle Lovett tunes such as "That's Right, You're Not From Texas (But Texas Wants You Anyway)""Yellow Rose of Texas" is nice as state songs go, but it's not like it get... | |
| Vinyl Help. First one since my close and play. What is your total budget for table, arm, cartridge, phono pre? | |
| Will I benifit form a external phono stage In two words or less- probably yes. Conventional wisdom is that, all things being equal, a lower output MC will outperform a higher output MC with a small part of the improvement offset by the higher gain (higher noise)needed. With respect to phon... | |
| Little help in cartridge purchase? Viridian- Not sure if the 103D has a high enough output for this application. Don't know that much about the cartridge, but it has a great reputation here on 'Gon- any idea of output?? Also, it's been suggested that there are several variations- a... | |
| Need Help with Interconnects for my tube system.. TWL's idea is probably your best bet if you aren't happy with your overall sound. Sometimes just having new tubes of the same make is enough of a difference if the existing tubes are getting a little long in the tooth. RegardsJim | |
| Need Help with Interconnects for my tube system.. Question- Is it only your table that your wanting to sound a little warmer? Or are you wanting to make ALL your sources (in other workds, the entire system) warmer? If it's just your table that needs a little more warmth, perhaps you'll want to co... | |
| MM vs. MC: Sonic Differences? My impressions/opinions- Firstly, with a handful of exceptions, moderate-priced MMs (under $400 to $500) are better than similarly priced MCs. I think that this could be because executing a MC design is a little more expensive and difficult, so an... | |
| Preamp-phonostage selection for analog lover CHeck out the AUdible Illusions M3A pre-amp. It includes a phono stage. Two versions available- one for MM or high output MC and another version (called "Gold Board") for low output MC's. The MM version's phono section is very good, while the "Gol... | |
| Who knows what "groove guard" is? Kinsekd- A number of table manufacturers (some expensive ones!)purposely make their platters slightly concave in order to minimize record warps. The amount of this "dish" is somwhat more than the amount of "dish" that would be created by the addit... | |
| My first Turntable... need some suggestions please Good to hear that 103 is compatible with the P3, TWL. It might be a killer combination for the dough. To clarify, are you saying that the RB 300 has a bearing that can handle the 103 AND that the 103's compliance is a match for that arm??BTW, TWL,... | |
| My first Turntable... need some suggestions please You might be able to find an older Rega P3 and couple it with a new Denon 103 cartridge for a total of about $500. Although I don't have experience with this particular combination, perhaps someone out there does and can comment. I used to have a ... | |
| Vinyl's Noise Floor Yes, Patrick , this is once again seeming to get into a tussle between Digital Heads and Vinyl Junkies while poor old Formulaone doesn't get the answers he's looking for. (BTW- In case my previous post wasn't clear, yes, Formula, there may be a ba... | |
| Vinyl's Noise Floor Pbb- I don't know where or how you had gotten the impression that "the best tt/arm/cart makes the recording more silent". Clearly, any playback medium cannot change the actual recording in any way as a noisy recording is a noisy recording. A playb... |
