| Installed A Kiseki Black Heart Today. Lovely Cartridge How does it compare to MC2000, once you’ve listened for a few hours and maybe go back to the Ortofon? Maybe you don’t know yet. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? "How about a threesome?" Is what it might say. Cartridges can be kinky. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? Whereas you can get in trouble for having more than one household, both financial and emotional, there is much to be said for polygamy when it comes to cartridges. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? This is a meaningless conversation because none of us has defined what is meant when you say a cartridge is “lasting” or has reached the state of being “worn out”.. In previous threads 500 hours or thereabouts was often quoted as the typical lifes... | |
| Linn Bedrok LP12 Plinth Upgrade What davey said, especially if considering an opinion from "some guy". | |
| Phono preamp upgrade price/performance From what I read on-line, the Arcam A15 is a one-piece unit that can do just about anything in the digital or analog world, provided one limits oneself to an MM cartridge. That's asking a lot from one chassis. So it's quite likely that you would e... | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? tomic, I've got the SS ruby cantilever/OCL stylus in a Grace Ruby, AND I've got an MP500. Grace is terrific, could live with it, but MP500 is a bit superior, IMO. I'm also living with an Acutex LPM 320STRIII (whew!), a Koetsu Urushi, a Stanton 9... | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? If you want to minimize use of an expensive MC that needs to go to the factory or to a re-tipper or to be discarded apparently, when the stylus is worn out, then it seems to me you want as a daily driver a cartridge that has a user-replaceable sty... | |
| A Question: What makes for Good Vinyl? Classic Records were very iffy toward the end. I have the Miles Davis 5-LP set that includes “Workin’”, etc. some of those LPs bear gross distortions not found on the originals, most of which I also own. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? Among the data for cartridge life span that are bandied about with no supporting evidence, 1000 hours seems pretty good. Usually it’s a subjective judgement unless you are using a microscope for visual evidence of wear. You will like the MP500, an... | |
| System Advice I don't understand. No power cable does not mean you need an aftermarket PS just to get the thing to run. If the TT has an IEC jack for AC (a socket with 3 prongs in a recessed space), you can go to any hardware store and buy a proper AC cord for ... | |
| Turntable Rumble/Feedback IMO, it’s never a great idea to put springs or any other flexible foot under a speaker, particularly a subwoofer. | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series Ditto to what mofi said about graphite mats. You’d have to make a deliberate effort by squeezing the mat and LP together and then twisting one against the other, clockwise then counter clockwise in order to do any such damage, if even then, the su... | |
| New Jilco Clipper cartridge....Interesting The ad copy is dated 2019 yet the text mentions 2021. The price seems high for the mediocre specs, but it does look cool. My guess is it wouldn’t dislodge 103 fans from the 103. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable What's a "Machined Radikal"? |
