| Lyra or ZYX ? Pani...LOL!!! Phono cartridges are absolutely the LAST item that you will ever get a home demo from a dealer on. I suppose there is no harm in dreaming though. :-)Doug, I'm sure Pierre1976 has never even heard "any ZYX cart", which is why his reco... | |
| VPI motor makes loud pops when turned on & off Joe,Did you ever figure this out? I have one 0.68 mfd 100 VDC between the red and black across the dc motor, like you have. I also have one in series with the AC switch labeled F102KT 630PP1, whatever that means. Which one(s) need to be changed to... | |
| Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s Well there doesn't have to be damage to the package to be internal damage to sensitive electronic equipment. I once had a power conditioner arrive at a buyer's damaged. The only visable sign of damage was a cracked glass meter cover. The power con... | |
| Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s I didn't think of that switcharoo scam, I'll have to write down the serial number of my cartridge BEFORE I ship it. What about filing a shipping damage claim? It's possible that the shipper drop kicked the XV-1s. | |
| Just sold my Dynavector XV-1s Try reversing the cables attached to the phono cartridge itself to make sure that he doesn't have a broken wire in his tonearm.This always scares me. I'm shipping out a expensive cartridge next week. Did you ship it insured? | |
| Lyra or ZYX ? Well I would recommend the ZYX, but the best fit for you could depend on the rest of your system. True, the ZYX and Lyra are very agile, detailed and lively, but in my system, with my ears I preferred the ZYX Airy 3 over the Lyra Helikon. I wound ... | |
| Good 6922 tube for my CJ ET-3 SE pre-amp? The Amperex 7308's that Mofimadness mentions were always my favorite 6DJ8 variant. I just stumbled upon an old box load of tubes that I used to use in a BAT VK-51SE & BAT VK-P10SE w/ Super-Pak phono stage. I knew I had the box somewhere, but I... | |
| Do speaker makers customize drivers? Dave, some manufacturers do customize drivers and some do not. If the part number matches the driver you need EXACTLY then I would say that it's probably safe to circumvent the manufacturer to save money. If there is even one difference in a lette... | |
| What of cost goes into manufacturing cartridges? Blueranger 04-01-12 Ahhhhh....one final April fools joke I see. Good one. | |
| SF Grand Piano Home tweeter upgrade You're correct Kehut, AG is not really a DIY site. Perhaps you would be better served asking this question on one of those sites.Pehaps somewhere like here. | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe thumps turning on/off Have you tried contacting Steve McCormack? He is usually very helpful, give him a call. | |
| What else sounds like Kubala Sosna? Branislav, re-read the original post, and you will see he is looking for an 8 meter pair of interconnects, not a 6 foot pair of speaker cables.RJA, I agree, too warm for my tastes too, but I have certainly heard some equipment that would benefit f... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? 03-28-12: TbgForget about the music and just worry about your gizmos.03-29-12: Pubul57So you disagree with blackwillard? Owning a $50,000 system, I do think that a well sorted $5,000 system can surprise you with how good it can sound. As good as w... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Tbg, forget the bar analogy, my point was that there are many different threads here, if this one bothers you, simply leave. Hell, since what this thread is all about is clearly marked in the title, don't even walk into this thread in the first pl... | |
| McCormack DNA 0.5 Deluxe thumps turning on/off Sounds like it needs to have some worn capacitors changed. |
