| Calling all Sota fans. Meantime, is SOTA actually back producing product? Mijostyn has been waiting many months for his Cosmos. No doubt they were negatively affected by the pandemic like many other small companies. | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. Dear biker, I am amazed that you could walk into a GoodWill and find more than one or two LPs out of a hundred or more that are still playable on a decent system. And those one or two are likely to be Lawrence Welk or the like in my experience. | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review Here is why the compliance of the cartridge might have something to do with one’s impression of the enabler. Low compliance cartridges naturally tend to put a lot of energy back into the tonearm. The enabler is an interface between the cartridge a... | |
| What high end cartridge matches best with the Wheaton Triplanar tonearm? It’s a medium mass tonearm so you might seek medium compliance cartridges to go with it. In my 20-year experience with the Triplanar the only class of cartridges that are not max’d out by the TP are some of the very lowest compliance ones, and in ... | |
| KAB RF-1 subsonic filter Thank you for doing the necessary research, imhififan. I don’t doubt that you’re correct. What you write makes perfect sense in the case where one owns a separate phono and linestage, especially since it comes from KAB. I hope the OP reads your co... | |
| Technics or Kuzma turntable. Not that there's anything wrong with your obsession over big pulsating magnetic fields, Mijo. Not at all. | |
| I want to ask about deutsche grammophon's new lp vinyl. Yes, you could like DG or lump DG back then. No one else had the top orchestras. | |
| Technics or Kuzma turntable. Which Brinkmann? They make both types. | |
| Technics or Kuzma turntable. Dover is unable to express an opinion of his own without throwing in a gratuitous insult along with it. The OP has opened up a pre-existing can of worms. The vinyl world is divided into those who advocate direct drive turntables and those who pref... | |
| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? 12AU7s are to be avoided. In my experience, any other equivalent tube (12BH7, 6CG7, 6FQ7, even 6SN7 if you can change the socket) will sound superior to a 12AU7, in a gain topology. This does not apply to cathode follower or phase splitter use (... | |
| I want to ask about deutsche grammophon's new lp vinyl. I’ve got quite a few OEM DG LPs that I bought new in the 70s. All analog, and many of them could make your ears bleed. | |
| What is it about spinning vinyl? Maybe you should take up smoking until your Cosmos arrives. Now there’s a habit former. | |
| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? It might be that in the case Chakster cites, the tube is used as a cathode follower. Or a phase splitter. | |
| Audio Technica AT 666 vacuum disc Thanks, Raul. I knew you had experience with those things. | |
| Do small preamp tubes 12ax7 need to be matched? You can "use" a 12AT7 to replace a 12AX7, in that the pin connections of the two tube types are identical, but that would be far from ideal. The 12AT7 has less gain, a lower plate resistance, and a higher transconductance compared to a 12AX7. In... |
