| Tonearms that work well with better Koetsu stone body cartridges Mijo, You’re “waiting” for a Helix or a Cosmos? | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Never heard of the TTM mat. Is it still in production?Also, Hi Albert! | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system I meant get a 5g weight and use the double-sided tape to affix it to the headshell. You can use any sort of flat disc that weighs 3-7g. You would need an accurate scale to weigh the chosen object. Or ask Tri Mai, the maker of the Triplanar. Ma... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Yes, 11g is the standard quoted effective mass for the 9-inch Triplanar, regardless of the "version" as indicated by Roman numerals. And yes, that is probably not the best choice in terms of effective mass for the Denon 103R, but it is probably a... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system FWIW, Dover is correct; the Triplanar does fit fine. I now recall that I had my Triplanar mounted on my Star Sapphire once upon a time. The only issue is in the vertical direction wrt the max extension of the VTA adjustment and the height of the p... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Surprised that a Reed will fit and not a Triplanar, since the Reed is basically a copy of the TP, in terms of the VTA adjuster which affects the arm geometry as regards mounting. Unless you refer to a 10.5-inch Reed. Don't know whether Tri can s... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Not yet mentioned: the Eclipse motor upgrade from SOTA. Will make a huge improvement even against the limiting background of what you already are using. Go to their website and read about it. Bonus: if you send your unit to SOTA for Eclipse upgrad... | |
| Luxman LX33 Integrated Tube Amp. YEAH? NAY? If you feel you must make this purchase, and I agree with Russ that it may not be a good idea, then you ought to buy a step down transformer dedicated only to this unit. A preamplifier/amplifier will draw more current than a turntable, and you wil... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again The seller already told you in explicit terms that the unit he is selling is not “flawless”. So you shouldn’t expect or demand flawless. | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Here is a useful website: https://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_6n4p.htmlFrom that page, you can also look up the 12AY7 and 6072. To my eyes, the latter two should be cross-compatible with the 6N4P. (Be careful if you do your own research, becau... | |
| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again Somewhere much earlier in this thread, I got the impression that your preamp uses the 6N23, which is replaceable by the 6922. I don’t know about the 6N4P, without doing more research on it. Am I losing my mind, or did you once mention the 6N23? Ye... | |
| Yamaha GT 2000 with 40 pound copper platter. As I mentioned on this forum once before, if you visit the audiophile salons in Tokyo, the 2000 GT is one of the most common of the high end turntables that you will find for sale, in secondhand condition of course. Conversely, I have never seen a... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? It is interesting to learn from reading the other posts on this thread that most of us, or most of you, don’t own more than 1000 LPs. In my opinion, there really is a lot to be gained from having a large number of LPs. Because in that way you can ... | |
| How many vinyl albums do you own you listen to? ~2500. Like MC, I am never going to count them, much less would I ever spend the time it would take to catalog them. They are in rough alphabetical order according to artist, stored in 3 locations in our house. I have enough LPs that I now forget ... | |
| What is better, analog or digital? The quality of the topics at the top of this forum is very low or very old hat right now. C’est la vie. |
