| Upgrading Technics 1200 Tonearm under $1000 Thanks Willie. After reviewing Audiomods, I will be ordering the Series 6 for my TT. Appreciate the feedback! | |
| Upgrading Technics 1200 Tonearm under $1000 Very good ideas here, but surprised how the AT-Art9 MC is getting no love. | |
| Upgrading Technics 1200 Tonearm under $1000 I've moved from the vintage AT150 to the MC AT Art9. I hear more instruments clearly and proper separation. My age and hearing isn't what it was so that could be suspect. However, I do know what to expect from my vinyl music library. To be honest... | |
| New upper trim level Corvette or seven year old used amps? I learned a valuable lesson having survived two separate rounds of cancer, perspective. When you have a life threatening illness you tend to have a frame of reference to compare with. Much like great speakers, it's life's measuring stick. Enjoy li... | |
| Can you recommend a small (in size) Amplifier 150 -250 W Power per channel Bryston 3b http://www.bryston.com/products/power_amps/3B-3.htmlEnd of search and unbeatable warranty. | |
| Choosing the right cartridge.... I haven't heard the Ortofone Cadenza Bronze but you've piqued my interest and is on my shortlist. I read that the differences between the Bronze and Black is the Bronze is a little more musical or fuller than the black. The Black is flatter/nat... | |
| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? @almarg You're correct, the AT-ML150 pF 100-200. I had it set to 100 pF on the Pro-Ject as well as the Herron. I'm strongly leaning towards a new cartridge. I'm looking at the ART9. No doubt the Herron exposes system shortcomings, but will also re... | |
| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? Thanks for all your responces...keep them coming.I will try a different cartridge. The ART9 looks like a decent one. I'll be looking for any additional recommendations on cartridges under ~2K. | |
| Did I just make my audio system too sensitive after adding a Herron VTPH-2A preamp? I forgot to add the cartridge is an AT-ML150/OCC. Time to figure where this noise is emanating from. | |
| What albums, in your opinion, sound unquestionably better on Vinyl rather than Digital? I'm partial to wax but I have to say 2 come to mind on a great sound set up:Kraftwerk - Computer WorldRush - 2112Of course everyone's perception will vary depending on what the album is playing through. | |
| Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K) I'd love to hear the Ohm Walsh. Take a listen to the Bryston Model T, they will impress how dynamic and vivid they are. | |
| Files from a Harddrive to a DAC vs dedicated digital player? I agree with you. Specifically designed gear will sound better than a multi-functional one. Can you provide some examples where you found the improvement to be. Was it more revealing, more up front stage? Or more dynamic due to the digital player'... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp I'm not fluent in tube technology. I do know that my Pro-Ject Tube Box comes with ECC83 (12AX7).I'm all for upgrading the quality but how does your suggestion differ in sound dynamics compared to the ECC83 (12AX7)? | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp Update:Subsonic filter was removed! I didn't notice that it was selected. I also increased it to 60k, resulting in a much sensitive and wider stage. Amplification volume was much more sensitive, which was my end goal. Thanks to everyone's input in... | |
| Cartridge or Pre Amp @jimf42 I totally agree. The sensitivity of my setup is such that media production is crucial. As with any high end systems, poor recordings will be amplified. |
