| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Cartridge and tonearm should be viewed as a single unit. Tonearm makes a major contribution (or subtraction) in relation to the SQ perceived to be due to the cartridge alone. I’ve proved this over and over again in my home systems. So I would not ... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? "Lew my TP 7 mk2 has a single screw that attach it to the cartridge block." I will go to the TP webpage and hope for a photo of a modern TP, because I don't get a visual image from your sentence. I bought mine from Herb himself back in the late ... | |
| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage Tomic, your experience buying your Denon is why I don't sell mine. It is simply too good for the amount of money it could fetch. I'd stack it against most $5K TTs bought new, once I had replaced the OEM plinth with a slate plinth and mounted my ... | |
| Nice vintage $2k Turntable, cartridge, and phono stage $2K is not going to pay for a PBN refurbished DP80. And most DP 80s are now 40+ years old, so they’ll need at least some TLC unless the previous owner has seen to it. So far as I can determine, DP75 is so close to the DP80 as to be indistinguishab... | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Mijo, you have a CS Port and Safir? Tomic, I’ve used my TP without and with the fingerlift(s). I use the plural because Herb Papier ( the original inventor here in Wheaton, MD) used to supply two, one with and one without threaded holes. I find t... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Thx. It hardly was worth it to pay extra for DHL, especially since my cartridge is new and far from needing a new stylus. | |
| Looking for a budget Step-up Transformer Transformers, especially SUTs because they are subject to only tiny voltages and currents, virtually never break or wear out, so a "pre-owned" SUT is always a good way to save money, provided you get a guarantee that it's working OK. | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Doggie and wrm57, Have you received your styli? I ordered with 2-3 day delivery via DHL, but so far have received nothing. It's only 7 days, but still I am a bit concerned. DHL is very prompt where I live. | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? Almost nothing I own and use (other than cartridges and tonearms) is in its OEM form. Therefore, most components have extra holes drilled in them, parts hanging out in various orientations, etc. If they were beautiful to begin with, they are no lo... | |
| Going to replace my Fluance rt85 Or in fact the PLX1000 may be ok, and the Technics G series may be a lot better. Whether the latter is worth the extra bucks is probably a function of your goals in upgrading from your Fluance. | |
| Does a record player make that much of a difference?? "Could be wrong, but my point is, I think the reason record-loving audiophiles put so much more attention and money on record players vs carts and phonostages is because there is more to look at." What? How about because turntables cost much more... | |
| Old records. My LP collection includes every one I bought between the early 70s and the present plus about 900 LPs I "inherited" upon the passing of a dear friend. His LPs were purchased new by him, usually from local vendors like Tower Records, and he took me... | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio Quincy, with what cartridge did you go from 47K to 100 ohms load? Thx | |
| Phono Stage_Skoll-by Schiit Audio Not to be a Debby Downer, but it is always good to take a deep breath and listen for a while to any new component, and even AB it with the component that is being replaced, before deciding on your level of satisfaction. In this case though, I sus... | |
| AT-95ML on a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon Yogiboy, the given compliance of the cartridge, according to AT, is 20 at 100Hz. I multiplied by 2 to give a rough approximation of the compliance at 10 Hz, which gives 40 cu. I don't disagree with you at all, but the equation softens the effect ... |
