| Ikeda 9GSS cartridge compliance So Mijo, you would ignore the resonant frequency issue and go with a low mass tonearm regardless of cartridge compliance? That’s basically what you inferred. What happened to the sports car vs truck suspension analogy? | |
| Ceiling Height Dilemma - Leaving 9' and Moving to 8' Differences will have more to do with windows, window locations, size of doorway openings, furnishings and their locations with respect to speakers, floor coverings, and anything else you can think of, than it will have to do with ceiling height, ... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again All is not lost. Broken can always be fixed. | |
| Ceiling Height Dilemma - Leaving 9' and Moving to 8' Like what speakers, for example? | |
| If you have ever owned a B&O turntable, was it any good? Or was it trash? tzh, Soundsmith make replacement cartridges that plug right in to the Beogram tonearm, last I looked. If not, they can at least repair any B&O cartridge. | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Have you double-checked to be sure you got it right? If so, then I would take the problem to the seller and ask him to reaffirm his instructions to you regarding tube placement. After that doesn't lead you to a solution, you need a good tech. | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D2 MR worth re-tip? If it's like my 17D3, it's unique-ish in having a diamond cantilever that is only 17mm long, and I guess yours also has a micro-ridge stylus. No retipper is going to be able to replicate that, let alone replace it with something like original. I... | |

| If you have ever owned a B&O turntable, was it any good? Or was it trash? Plus the turntable was a bit too beautiful looking and elegant for diehard audiophiles in its day. The TOTL B&O cartridges that were sold with the tt are certainly NOT lo-fi. I rank my MMC1 as fantastic among ~ 15-20 cartridges I own. It is no... | |
| Dual 701 pops fuse. Perhaps you realize that overall it is not wise to cure a problem with fuses blowing by inserting a much larger capacity fuse. So first you blew a 125 mA fuse and then you were able to blow a 500 mA fuse. I would stop right there. Perhaps so far y... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Are you absolutely certain that you have the right tube in the right socket? Because if you have misplaced the tubes in their sockets, all bets are off, and any symptoms could be explained by that, particularly the ones you mentioned. And no, the ... | |
| This is the list of the best makers of audio equipment. Respond if you disagree The all time great audio "brands" are either now non-existent or the brand names have been bought, and off-shore companys are selling their gear under a false flag, false in the sense that a Marantz is no kin to "Marantz" of historical importance.... | |
| Multiple amplifiers shutting down when playing vinyl through a tube phono stage Do you have the old tubes? Can you re-install them and see whether the phenomenon recurs? That would establish that you have one or more defective new tubes. What do you mean when you say some of the new tubes tested "weak"? Does your tester me... | |
