Good moving magnet or cheap moving coil I was thinking about moving coils as I have a aurum beta s also. I was told by numerous folks that it is the ticket. What sounds better, different? JJ | |
Difference between SME 3009 VS. RB 300? finished (almost) the fully modified td160/sme 3009 table. Comparisions with Rega 25 and Aurum Beta S cartridge show the limitations of the OM 10 super cartridge which is more harsh and slightly diminished soundstage. However, the sme arm is quite... | |
What Budget turntable should I buy? Well I just put a SME 3009 arm on a thorens 160 and with a parasound preamp it sounds as good if not better than my rega 25, I am surprised to say after some side by side testing. Not only is the sound good, but it looks cool and with a ortofon su... | |
Difference between SME 3009 VS. RB 300? Soon I will have a 3009 arm mounted on one of my TD 160's and I have a Rega 25 with RB300 arm and the incogito wiring upgrade, heavyweight, and VTA riser kit. I intend to do some extensive comparisions between the P25, modified TD160, the stock TD... | |

thorens 160 audio asylum posts indicate that the motor shafts can be bent and apparently that is why the post was added. Anyway when I turn it on without the platter the shaft is wobbles and the plastic shaft wobbles and the belt noise seems to come from it t... | |
thorens 160 well the table is here, and somewhere along the line the motor shaft seems to be bent and I get some noise from the belt roaming about on the plastic shaft. Some have said to oil it and it might "straighen up" and spin right. I guess I can live wi... | |
Differences between MM or MC/Recommendations? I have a rega 25 and rb300 w/igconito rewired w/a clearaudio aurum beta s (a moving magnet) and it sounds great for jazz and classical. | |
wall to wall rug or linolium floor with area rug? I recently removed all the carpeting in the lower level of the house. We put wood=type flooring in all rooms except the living/stereo room which I painted the sub-flooring with gray garage paint. Put an area rug in the center and the sound is simp... | |
apt holman problems Wow thanks for the quick response. The table is new with the wiring upgrade. I always do the reconnect dance and usually it has solved the problem. It seems I might need to find a preamp doctor in Alaska to take a look, or try tapping the thing to... |
