| Is the Teres a Hi George, there was a typo there, the word "motor" being excluded from "well-designed idler-wheel drive with a monstrous but designed exactly and precisely and solely for turntables motor", meaning a motor designed specifically for use on a turnt... | |
| Is the Teres a Excellent summary Tom. I've been fighting this battle for the importance of speed stability for a year now! And yes, the two - PRaT and speed stability - are intimately connected. The Roksan mounts their motor so that it can revolve around its ver... | |
| Is the Teres a Well gee, at least I notice that some are paying attention! I would point out that nowhere have I ever written that PRaT is the ONLY factor to consider in reviewing or evaluating a turntable, but it IS the Prime one. I also write often about detai... | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge I can't speak for the DL103R part of the review (yet), but you hit the nail on the head with your review of the Denon DL103, in every particular, as far as I'm concerned. I'll have to try the "R" version some day, but I'm enjoying the togetherness... | |
| My current Benz-Micro ACE low or Koetsu Black? I heard a Benz Micro Ace a while ago and found it quite balanced and musical and entertaining. From what I subsequently read, it's actually a better-balanced cartridge than the Glider, and more satisfying in the long run, in this sense (musicality... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Tom, I would have tried your cool free mod long ago, but I haven't had the Rega mounted since last Spring, what with the low-mass and other tonearms I've been playing with over the last year. Now that it's up again (thanks to the Denon), I'll be t... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Thanks for the compliment Tom, and yes, the Denon certainly sounds great on the Lenco, if I were going to make absolutely sure the Lenco would hit new ears with irresistable impact, I would suggest the Lenco/Rega/Denon DL103 combination, which wor... | |
| Any opinions on the Audio-Technica OC9ML II? Well, Audio Technica's house sound is bright, no doubt about it. But I have heard it sounding very musical on an air-bearing turntable with an arm with high lateral mass. So I suggest you try the Twl mod (you should find it on this forum somewhere... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Hi Fernando. If you click on "Kontact", and click on "So finden Sie uns" in the menu whcih shows up, a page will come up with this address: voice@hifi-im-hinterhof.de. Click on this and the usual email page pops up. Write your request for informat... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Hi Fernando. It is only a transformer, and I believe the impedance figures for the 103R is different from the plain version. You'll have to work it out with the supplier, but I foresee no great problem since the Finnish fellow custom-winds his tra... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Hi Raul. I've seen your posts regarding this cartridge and, not having heard it had nothing to add. But now that I've heard it I think it is the most musical - that's right, "musical" - MC cartridge I've heard, which in my estimation makes it the ... | |
| No. 26 - MM or MC board? Well, I heard good news regarding Denon DL103 cartridges while in Berlin: there is a Finnish fellow who custom-winds transformers for Shindo Laboratories amongst other luminaries, and who makes a transformer specifically for the Denon. I was hopin... | |
| confused??? If you can live with an MM-only phono pre, then I recommend the Antique Sound Labs ini Phono, an extremely musical and capable tubed phono unit - like the EAR 834 - which retails for roughly $250 new. Throw in some matched quality tubes for an ext... | |
| Best cheap cartridge for college student 1) Avaunt Demon! 2) Avaunt Demon! 3) way too much for this 'table, wait to graduate to something better 4) $100-$150 Grado or Shure cartridge, or new stylus for Ortofon or 5) consider a used AR-XA with a cheapie cartridge. | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone I haven't crossed "Lugnut's" path very often, but when I have it was a very pleasant experience, and from what I've seen he is a very productive and positive Audiogoner. My best wishes to him and his family through his travails. Merry Christmas an... |
