| Denon DL-103 vs. DL-160? 07-02-08: TvadThe resonance frequency chart on cartridgedb.com for the DL-103 states otherwise. No matter how much weight one adds, the resonant frequency is never close to acceptable.Perhaps I'm missing something?Evidently, we all are missing som... | |
| Upgrade RB300 Tonearm or Not? 07-02-08: TpsonicOrigin Live arms are a drop-in replacement.Fully upgrading an RB250 or RB300 runs the cost up to $800-900, (which includes all the mods you mentioned, but sandblasts off the overdamping powder coat and puts slots in the tube to br... | |
| Shure M97xe stabilizer brush question I just got this cart and noticed that the stabilizer brush is mounted off center. It is more towards the left side. Is this right? No, it's left. Nyuk nyuk. But it's where Shure intended it to be. It gathers dust a few groove spaces ahead of the s... | |
| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... 06-28-08: CytocycleThe Technics M5G has pretty good OFC copper wire leads.... so this update doesn't make as big of a difference as all the other Technics tables which don't have the upgraded wiring.You're right--the tonearm wire in the SL1210 M5G... | |
| Thin record and thin sound? 06-30-08: Sc53How would I even adjust VTA on my Linn LP12 (Ekos tonearma and Akiva cartridge)? I don't mean to hijack thread but I also have many thin records, along with lots of newer thick ones. Do I have a way to figure out and adjust VTA on my... | |
| Thin record and thin sound? You also might try a record clamp or record weight for those real thin ones. I have some very good sounding Dynaflex pressings. | |
| Review: Denon DL 103R Cartridge Anybody have any suggestions on how to easily and reversibly increase tonearm mass as an experiment with the Linn for the Denon?Music Direct sells a tonearm wrap, which would obviously add mass, but I don't know how much. | |
| AT150MLX cart + Cambridge Audio 640P Phono Stage Good to read your comments on a possible upgrade for my Stanton 681 cartridge.Glenfihi 06-27-08I think the AT150MLX and 640p work very well together, showing each other off well. If your SL1300 has the same or similar rectangular double gimbal to... | |

| I just went up two notches in resolution 06-22-08: Amondrool... i have a rega25 TT .... i like the sound i'm getting except for the treble. cymbals tend to be splashy instead of shimmery. VTA on regas is a problem..i'm running my tonearm level now..maybe tail-end up would lead to treble ... | |
| I just went up two notches in resolution 06-28-08: TvadAT150Mlx users...did your cartridge's sound change after it was initially installed? If so, in what ways?Mine sounded good out of the box, but that was just the beginning. Compared to what I had before (DL-160) the 150MLX has more de... | |
| Showdown: Your Favorite Cart for Classical? 06-27-08: AtmasphereTracking ability and relaxed, transparent presentation without noise are things that are important for a cartridge used for classical music, although really those requirements are important for lots of other music too so I am o... | |
| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... The big advantage to the thicker, heavier mat is that its extra weight dampens the platter better (and that's one ringy mo-fo). The extra weight also slightly increases the flywheel effect of the platter. I don't have a supermat, but I *do* has a ... | |
| Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if... 06-26-08: TvadKevin of KAB sells three isolating devices: Sonic Domes, Sorbothane Boots, and Isonoe Footers. Yeah. I got tired of equivocating over whether to get Mapleshade Heavyfeet or Isonoe footers, so I ended up spending that amount of money ... | |
| Rega P-2 turntable: Best cartridge match for $ 200 06-26-08: XiekitchenFor the Rega P-2 I would consider a Rega Cart.Having heard a Rega Exact on a Rega P7 in a pro setup at my local vinyl store, and now owning an AT150MLX on an SL1210 M5G, I'd have to say that the AT150MLX is *at least* the Rega ... |
