| Recommend cartridge for JVC QL-Y66F I have a slightly older brother to the QL-Y66F, Mine is a QL-Y5F. It has a similar ED tonearm, S shaped rather than straight as in yours but both support medium mass cartridges. I had a Denon DL-110 and it's a great sub $200 cart for it but I rece... | |
| Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it? If you are only going for playback you will likely find the rather limited catalogue of commercial tapes recorded at 7.5ips or 3.75ips. Yes, Tape Project tapes are at 15ips but they are expensive.3.75ips as said for recording is pretty good for th... | |
| Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it? Phasecorrect,I agree about HiFi vcr's. As long as they had user adjustable record levels they can make superlative recordings. They are not tape fussy either, all they care is that the tape is of sufficient quality to not have notable drop outs in... | |
| Less than top line reel-to-reel worth it? Standard consumer grade reel to reel decks popular in the 1970's and 80's at 7.5ips with a good tape stock will make superb copies of any vinyl LP's you feed them and will give a very warm analogue flavour to cd's. These decks at 7.5ips all have h... | |
| Moving from CD to analog No matter with how much you may come to enjoy and love vinyl playback there is no reason to get rid of your CD's. I prefer vinyl and play vinyl over 80% of the time with tapes and CD's filing out the other 20%. I will keep my CD library and enjoy ... | |
| HELP PICKING NEW TURNTABLE With Rega 3 point mounting system for tonearms, the after market VTA adjsting ring gives you relatively quick VTA adjusting if needed. On My P3-24 when I had the RB301 arm on it I was able to shim it with 3- 4mm high small hex nuts, when I mounted... | |
| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table Hi Don.First, sorry I no longer have the Technics (I need to update my equipment list :-) ). I run a Rega P3-24 with TT-PSU and I just mounted a Jelco SA-370H tonearm. I have not heard the Traveler. It gets very positive reviews though. It was not... | |
| VPI is Introducing a high-end Direct Drive Table Don,Considering that they recently introduced the $1400 Traveler maybe speaks that they are a business trying to capture mote than just the middle but also from both ends of the vinyl (especially resurgence) market.Harry and family at VPI are not ... | |
| Record cassettes to digital? You only need to hook up your cassette deck to a stereo amp or receiver. No phono preamp needed. You can buy a stand alone CD recorder and connect it to the receiver or amp or if yo have say a lap top computer you can typically add it to a stereo ... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... $500, it's hard to say. You have to size up such to your current phon section. That said for my future phono preamp upgrade I'm going to look into the $400-$600 range. I figure one would have to go at this range to get much a difference from my cu... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... In this hobby especially vinyl playback its so easy to get captivated by other turntables that you do not own but may like. It's easy as turntables demonstrate visual character that other components often do not. Turntables see among the widest ra... | |
| Upgrade from Rega P3-24 ..... IMO The RP-6 is more of a sideways step from the P3-24. If you wish to stick with Rega I'd either wait to get the RP-8 or a used P-7 , P-9. Other than that Going VPI will be a different flavour change but since the Traveler is again in the same bu... | |
| An analog question for those who record Years ago (early 90's) I did a bit of hi-fi audio recording on a VHS Hi-Fi vcr. Tapes sounded great. Did not do much of it as I was more likely to record onto cassette for my car audio system. Fast forward to modern times. I from 2008 onwards adde... | |
| Newbie needs advice I would say to not be afraid to try vinyl playback. BUT! as a newbie I'd suggest start out with a minimal budget. If you search an old vintage table even a thrift store find, PRE 1985 model I'd say. By the late 80's Made In Japan tables were SHITE... | |
| Recommendation for analog set for $700 The Pro-Ject Debut Carbon is a straight forward turntable. All one would have to do is verify all cartridge settings to make sure the settings did not get messed up in shipping. Set the anti-skate weight on the post mount on tonearm, put the belt ... |
