| Good MM cartridge - any ideas? By reputation, the Grados that SD recommended are among the best of the MM designs. Quite of number of folks here on 'Gon seem to also go for a couple of the Dynavector models.You seemed dis-satified with MCs- Out of curiosity, what MC models have... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? A personal note to Gumby- It's called "research", dammitGumby- if you'd "research" my other posts and the scientific journals, you'd "know" what my other components are. (HeHeHe! Can you believe this stuff?)OK- here is is- AI M3A (unmodded), Count... | |
| ROOM SIZE QUESTION Lthkeepr- WHEW! Thanks for the treatise! To your first question- the stereo system is Audible Illusions M3A pre-amp, Counterpoint SA-20 amp, Maggie 12 speakers and a powered sub. The room has two exterior walls and two interior walls, completely e... | |
| ROOM SIZE QUESTION Thanks for your help on this. The room was mis-measured on the literature and is really 12 1/2' x 18'. Unfortunately, I will have to make a decision on this home in the next couple of days so there is no real time to order and study a book at this... | |
| So WHERE do you go to buy a Shure V15 Cartridge ? Bad Ears- not that I'd try to sell you on a MC but to clarify, you can use a high output MC with your MM input, which is why the MC manufacturers produce these. It's only a function of having enough voltage, nothing more. Most of the HO MC's put o... | |
| So WHERE do you go to buy a Shure V15 Cartridge ? Have you considered other cartridges? Perhaps you might do well with a high output MC, something like the Denon 103 that some here have reported to be pretty darn good for under $300. Given what you have had prior experiences with, something like ... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Ohlala- His post was mostly positive, he refered to how he found his set-up to sound to him and he didn't make any un-informed comment about another turntable or person. This is a first. Do I agree with what he said? No. But I obviously listen dif... | |
| Shelter 501 MkII ? I have a Benz LO .4 that I enjoy very much. Very quiet, smooth. Might be able to find one in your price range as they are a recently-discontinued model. Haven't heard the Shelter to compare, though.RegardsJim | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Gumby- I have had a couple of Audible Illusions M3A pre-amps (an early version made in 95 w/standard phono section and a '99 w/"Gold" board) and neither had the tubes soldered in. Maybe some of the older M3's (not "A" versions) or the older L1's h... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? FINALLY!!!! Psychic, you've finally expressed yourself in a mostly positive, thoughtful manner in your post to Seantaylor above. An insightful, informative post on your opinion/experience. Thank you! I am glad that you found something that suits y... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Psychic- Maybe you didn't understand the question. Allow me to repeat- What is it that YOU found better about the SOTA? Please compare and contrast the SOTA, P3 and the 1200. YOUR experience and thoughts, not someone else's.If you have any experie... | |
| Source for vinyl record storage boxes? The small moving boxes from Public Storage, U-Haul, etc are the perfect size to store and/or ship records. Cost is about $1.50 per box and will hold about 110 records. If you plan to store records for a long time, you may want to cut pieces of 1/4... | |
| New Analog system. where to start? Gumby- you've posed a good, decent, reasonable question to Psychic as others have before you. The reason he can only come up with smart-ass comments in reply (or no reply at all)is that he has little or no real basis for his "opinion" or the "fact... | |
| Dust Covers There were alot of ideas posted about a month ago on this topic. You might want to look back at these.RegardsJim | |
| New Analog system. where to start? I am guessing that Psychic's point is that he had a date with a Tart?? ;-)Psychic is technically correct that, if one wanted to get a DD table the 1200 would be a good choice as there are so few DD tables produced now that the 1200 wins almost by ... |
