| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? 05-29-07: Bruno1...Can anyone summarize the differences between the differences between the different models in the SL 1200 - 1210 line?The SL1200 Mk2 and Mk5 are very similar; the differences are that the Mk2 has clicking detents in the pitch con... | |
| Mft 's suggested VTF: Follow or not to follow??? 05-28-07: Jayboclassic records is the skull and crossbones of vinyl.You definitely need to expand the selection of LPs you use to test this. It appears that you've changed all the variables *except* the "test disks." I've sometimes reduced or elim... | |
| Which turntable Rega, Pro-ject or Clearaudio +1 on the Technics. Here are some links that Viridian alluded to:Review of SL 1200 at TNT-Audio:http://www.tnt-audio.com/sorgenti/technics_sl1200_e.htmlDirect comparison between a KAB-modified Technics SL-1200 vs. a twice-as-expensive Music Hall M... | |
| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? I have a Technics SL1210 and listen to a fair amount of classical music. Once the cartridges broke in and I put the TT on an isolation platform, I've been very pleased with this TT for classical. It in fact excels in acoustic music, whether folk, ... | |
| Common 05-21-07: 4yanxFunny the RCA Dynagrooves. I recently obtained a sealed copy of a Japanese quadraphonic LP that had the Dynagroove label but it was pressed on 180gr vinyl. It seemed SO odd to see that label and to hold the record on each edge WITHO... | |
| Best Instruments in Analog I agree on sax. Also on vocal harmonies. I notice vocal harmonies and call-reponse sequences better on my LP rig. I enjoy small group jazz and small group acoustic pop/folk much better on LP--MJQ, Brubeck, Gary Burton, Keith Jarrett, Gordon Lightf... | |
| ADC XLM Mk2 question Check here: http://www.lpgear.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LG&Product_Code=ADCSXLMIMPII for a better price. I'd recommend giving LPGear.com a call or email to ensure compatibility. | |
| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? 05-22-07: MechansAgree that Direct drive is not noisy In fact the real differences I can hear are vanishingly small between very high end TT's and normal people TTs are the isolation from the enviroment. That means a higher mass dampening plinth a... | |
| Teres still the way to go? All crated up, it tips the scales at 225 pounds. The shipping estimate for door to door delivery is $650.Aah, the downside of a mass-loaded design. :) | |
| Project Debut III vs. Music Hall MMF 5? How about a Rega P2 ($500) with Bellari VP129 preamp ($249) or the Vincent phono stage (only $149 from http://www.audioadvisor.com? The Regas have an enviable track record for reliability and long-term presence in the market.Project and Music Hall... | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge Oh, that's right. Their literature indicates different cantilevers, as in 3-piece or 4-piece. But is it relatively safe to assume that the cartridge body is the same? In the Ortofon OM Super line, the cartridge body remains the same while stylus s... | |
| How does one go about auditioning a new turntable? What results are you looking for? When upgrading, if you don't start with your weakest link, you won't be able to fully appreciate (or even hear) the other changes you make. Right now your weakest link is probably the old integrated amp. In additi... | |
| Review: Shelter 201 Cartridge There are other reasons the Shelter *might* justify the higher price. They may have taken a page out of Grado's book. It's my understanding that the whole Grado Prestige series is made on one production line. Grado then runs them through QA for fr... | |
| Record wear I agree with what Tarsando said. You can definitely get into vinyl, have a lot of fun, and get a lot of emotionally involving, good sound and music without spending a fortune on the LPs themselves.I just got into LP playback again 2-1/2 mos. ago a... | |
