| Solid State Phono Stages Pindac, Please forgive me for my ignorance, but in at least two posts on this thread you have referred to "hooks". What's a hook? | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Thanks, Antinn. | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? Why that red leather Lenco with the Ferrari emblem up front has not been sold.... it's ugly. Talk about "Wife Acceptance Factor", that one has a low "Human Acceptance Factor". | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Just to be clear about my own position. I have no reason to criticize Wizzzard’s recommendations, and I do respect that in the field of analytical chemistry his knowledge is much greater than mine. However, before he laid down his wisdom here, I h... | |
| MM or MI Cartridge? Jason, kudos to your friend with the Marantz-Futterman-Quad system. That’s a vintage combination to rival many modern high end systems except it needs a subwoofer. Back in the early 70s, I owned a similar system save for using KLH9s, first one pai... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Dear Wizzz, Here is what you wrote on June 6 at 6:25 PM, at the end of your tirade: "All materials including resins and resin blends, whether natural synthetic, have many characteristic parameters. I have correctly restricted myself to include the... | |
| Qs about Grace F-9 U cartridge You name six different cartridges, none of which is "bad", and ask whether the Grace will stand up to them in SQ. I only know one person who may own all or most of the cartridges you already own, and that is Raul. So maybe Raul can offer his opi... | |
| Qs about Grace F-9 U cartridge So, you've answered your own question. If you're satisfied with the story that goes along with any used cartridge, then buy it. Worst case scenario, if you're not happy, is you can change to a sapphire cantilever + LC stylus per the services of ... | |
| Recommended cartridge under $2k for a Yamaha PX2 tangential turntable You’ve had Jason’s opinion. In my opinion, you don’t necessarily need a high gain phono stage unless you are fixated on a LOMC cartridge. There are some superb high output cartridges that will work fine with a good MM phono stage, although none of... | |
| Qs about Grace F-9 U cartridge Never heard of the U version but it may not have been exported from Japan. Price is not the only criterion for what constitutes a good deal. In a used cartridge, condition is 99% of the deal, in my book. Does the seller have the original container... | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? I prefer placing the cover in storage. | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? Re a hinged dust cover: they can be “lifted off”, which is the first thing I did with the covers for the TT101 and Denon DP80. The hinges come apart via a spade/slot joint. You can use the cover either way or not at all. The TT801 has a greater r... | |
| Modwright PH 9.0X Tube Rolling Question Just a pedantic note, 7DJ8 is not equivalent to all those other tubes. 7DJ8 requires a 7V filament supply. You probably could get away with an actual 6.3V, since most tubes allow a 10% error, but no less than 6.3V for best results. | |
| Turntables: 2 Tonearms. What do you Have or Know About? Elliot, You're skating on thin ice. The TT101 is a fine turntable. I have been using mine for several years since JP Jones repaired its problem, with no issues whatsoever. The difference between a TT101 and a TT81 is nowhere near like the diffe... | |
| CSPort Turntable speed control So I gather there is no servo or feedback mechanism that attempts to continuously correct speed. Yes? |
