| In the red; insufficient power Bombaywalla, you obviously have too much time on your hands. | |
| In the red; insufficient power Measured the power at the outlet with a multi-meter. 108.5 v. Is this voltage low enough to degrade the sound or cause long-term damage to my components? Many thanks! | |
| Best type of stylus cleaner?? Some of you may have noticed, but I accidentally posted two threads with the same question. I didn't think the first one posted, so I wrote another one. Anywho, the concensus is clearly the Mr Clean "Magic Eraser" and the Zerodust. Compulsive as I... | |
| Help with stylus cleaning Thanks guys! Looks like the Magic Eraser is the trick! Just to be obsessive, I'll probably follow Cmalak's lead and get the Zerodust a little later, and use them in tandem. I'll be perusing my local supermarket for Mr. Clean today! | |
| Newly into vinyl; On the money, Tubeo!! Swapped out the DL-80 for an almost new Ortophon Samba MC, and the extraneous noise is gone!! What a great cartridge, the Samba. Loving the vinyl! Thanks. | |
| Newly into vinyl; Tubeo and Buconero: Genius!! Swapped the ancient DL-80 for a new Ortophon Samba MC cartridge & the noise is gone!! Oh sure, as Jwong points out, there is always the occasional pop & crack, but nothing like I was experiencing. This one need... | |
| Newly into vinyl; Thanks Tubeo. Makes sense, as this cartridge has been boxed up for 25 years w/o use. I hope the Ortofon helps I'll keep you posted. | |
| Newly into vinyl; ...OK, Schipo, so what do you suggest? Or, what's your point? | |
| Any info on Denon DL-80 MC cartridge?? Thanks for the info! I have not heard the DL-160 cartridge, but the DL-80 sounds great. I figure they must be the same or very similar, as I cannot see Denon shorting the UK market. Any more info out there? | |
| Technics SL-1200 Mk II; opinions?? The Ortofon cartridge is a Pro S. I think it is more of a "DJ" cartridge; any other thoughts? | |
| Albert Von Schweikert VR-4 Thanks guys. I jumped on them, and will give you a report once I get them in my listening room! | |
| Seasoned ears only Weseixas, Albert's VR-4 not an icon?? Where you been man? What else could you buy in 1999 for under 5K that could cover 20khz down to a true rock-solid and FLAT 20hz? No listener fatigue, all hand-made in San Francisco; the only knock on those thi... | |
| Albert Von Schweikert VR-4 Thanks Jig! Appreciate your thoughts. I can't think of a better sound for the price either. | |
| Compressed vs. "Remastered" CDs Very informative folks. I plumbed by CD collection again and the ear agrees with you Gtfour45 & Mlsstl. Some of my "remastered" CDs are clearly superior to the early 80's CD releases, and also superior to the original vinyl (sorry analogists).... | |
| Jazz vocals recommendations please Wow, great responses!! I've tried Hope Waits, Tierney Sutton and re-familiarized myself with Rickie Lee Jones. First of all I'd like to STRONGLY recommend the Hope Waits CD. FANTASTIC sound quality, absolutely no digital "compression"; sounds like... |
