| Why Are Used Technics 1200/1210 MK2 Still So Expensive Compared to GR/GR2? The question was whether the G series is any better than the older look alike series. No one said the older TTs were bad or deficient in any way that an average user would complain about. I would bet in fact that Technics sold more of those SL1200... | |
| Why Are Used Technics 1200/1210 MK2 Still So Expensive Compared to GR/GR2? The G series have an entirely new coreless motor with better electronics to control it, a better damped platter, and a stiffer chassis, compared to the earlier SL1200 based TTs. The tonearms are also probably upgraded. KAB is a great company that ... | |
| Why Are Used Technics 1200/1210 MK2 Still So Expensive Compared to GR/GR2? In my opinion, the G series turntables are far superior to the non-G older turntables, so there is no earthly reason why they should sell at a premium compared to a G series, even assuming what you say is true. | |
| Miyajima in Japan I think it's mostly that Miyajima is a very small company, maybe even a one or two man operation, like van den Hul. So as a result they do not produce sufficient numbers of cartridges to provide off the shelf stock for big retailers in Japan. My g... | |
| AKG help So far as I can tell, the PM15MD was a relatively inexpensive model in the AKG cartridge lineup, but I do seem to recall that AKG cartridges in general were said to have a propensity to lose output from one channel (see the long thread on MM cartr... | |
| Moerch DP-8 tonearm? Can you amplify your description of the noise? Is it really “hum”, which is defined as a 60Hz or120Hz pure tone? Or is it less specific than that? How loud is it relative to music signal? | |
| Phono Amp Spec’s Yes I think so, but you’ll be the judge based on listening. | |
| Phono Amp Spec’s With that spec showing overload occurs at 5.7mV output from the cartridge when the phono is set for 64db gain, and given that the cartridge has a nominal output of 1mV, then for a hypothetical 20db of overhead margin, you would like to see at leas... | |
| Miyajima in Japan I travel to Tokyo at least annually to visit our son who lives there. I usually have enough free time to browse the audio salons, and I have never seen Miyajima for off the shelf sale. However, it is possible that you could place an order and rec... | |
| Accessing Belt on Immedia RPM2 Turntable I think you can buy it from another on line source for $5. Same thing happened to me with VE. | |
| Accessing Belt on Immedia RPM2 Turntable I was not meaning to criticize you in any way. I was only pointing out the readily available source of information, which would be the owners manual. That's the place to start. If that doesn't tell you what you need to know, then perhaps is the ... | |
| Accessing Belt on Immedia RPM2 Turntable The Immedia RPM2 owners manual is available for free on Vinyl Engine. All you have to do is join VE in order to access a copy, which is also free. In addition, in photos of the RPM2, the belt is plainly visible encircling the platter. The motor s... | |
| Hagerman trumpet mc or Ear 834 classic phono pre amplifier. fastricky, I have never seen a schematic of the Trumpet, but chances are the 12AU7s are not doing any "heavy lifting". Chances are they are used as cathode followers in that circuit. A CF does not add gain; its job is to convert voltage to curre... | |
| Upgrading from Dual 704 to Technics 1300G – Worth it for Sound Quality? I agree that the Technics is the better option, price notwithstanding. However, the "light weight" tonearm on the Dual, assuming "light weight" really means low effective mass, is no issue; it's easy to add mass to a tonearm, best at the headshell... |
