| OPPO 980 h dvd mod? 03-20-08: Elf73I have a Monarchy M24 Tube DAC preamp.. you think it would be better to use the Monarchy DAC or the Oppo players? You can't lose either way. When Wes Philips reviewed the DV-970H, he thought it was a pretty good player, but when he ... | |

| Technics 1210/RB-250 vs. stock arm + fluid damper 03-18-08: Les_creative_edgeHaving owned a Rega RB-250 arm and now owning a SL-1200MKII with Cardas rewire done by KAB I will say I find little to no quality difference in overall performance between an SL-12xxMKII arm and the RB-250 in fact with t... | |
| Ortofon Super OM10 or Sumiko Pearl cartridge? So... if you get the Bellari fixed and it means your cartridge is all right, when it's time to upgrade you'll get the biggest performance improvement for the least hassle & cost by replacing the stylus with an OM20 stylus. | |
| Rolls Vp-129 with Dynavector 10x5 03-18-08: SnsThere is not enough gain to use with that cartridge. I tried a Sumiko Blue Point Special with 2.5 output, not nearly enough with the Bellari.Thank you! At last, an experienced A'goner has chimed in on the 30dB gain Bellari vis-a-vis 2... | |
| Denon 103r ???? One thing I've noticed with this thread is that the discussion wanders from the Denon 103r to the basic 103 to the Zu103 and the Magic Diamond. The original post was about the 103r and the tonal imbalance the poster was experiencing, especially ex... | |

| Used CD player for 200-300 Just because an Oppo can play DVDs shouldn't be reason to rule it out. I have had several $500-1000 CD players and a $1000 Pioneer Elite DVD/CD player from Kenwood Basic (their high end line), Philips, CEC, Sony ES, and Audio Alchemy with Soundstr... | |
| How to economically clean old records For me, the other half of the equation is a bundle of deep pile microfiber polishing cloths. I got a bundle of 25 16"x16" deep nap microfiber cloths (9,000 naps per sq. in.) from Sam's Club for $10. Add a handheld steamer from Walgreens for $30 an... | |
| Newbie Help Since you're considering the Clearaudio Emotion, what about the Clearaudio-sourced Marantz, which comes with a very nice Clearaudio cartridge?If you were to go the Technics route (but I'm not holding my breath) and your $1800 seems to be just for ... | |
| Ortofon Super OM10 or Sumiko Pearl cartridge? 03-16-08: Marntz4me...As for the Denon or the Benz Micro cartridges, I am limited to moving magnet types because of my Bellari preamp. I play rock on my turntable; so it would be nice to find a cartridge that empasizes more bass....The new Ortofon... | |

| Ortofon Super OM10 or Sumiko Pearl cartridge? 03-15-08: Patrick_odonnellWhat about the DL-160 vs. the AT440MLa?I personally have no direct comparison experience, but Ed Kobesky, who wrote the A'gone review of the Denon DL-160, had this to say:Dont get me wrong. Ive liked other cartridges, t... |
