| Phoenix Engineering - Falcon - stopped working Some post on this website. | |
| Phoenix Engineering - Falcon - stopped working So far as I could tell when playing with it, the magnet is a simple disc type; the whole thing is the magnet. So I would have expected that both sides are magnetic. Maybe when you remounted it the first time, the orientation between it and the Ha... | |
| Phoenix Engineering - Falcon - stopped working Last time I checked, Bill Carlin, the designer of the Phoenix engineering gear, is still available by email, and he is very responsive to owners problems. He helped me out with an issue I had with my gear that was entirely of my own doing. However... | |
| Upgraded turntable - is my current setup sufficient? In this price stratum, the OP is better off with a good moving magnet cartridge, in my opinion. Moving coil cartridges, in this price range, tend to be the high output type, which in my experience are generally inferior to moving magnets at a simi... | |
| Audiophile turntables of the 60's and 70's During the early 1970s, I lived in New York city, and I used to haunt the well-known audio salons in the center of town. During those years I never saw a Garrard or Lenco turntable in use in one of these stores. As far as I can recall some used th... | |
| Distilled water rinse after ultrasonic cleaning If your cleaning solution is anything but pure distilled water, I would rinse with distilled water after cleaning. | |
| Just ordered a vpi avenger Tough to say what distance between you and the dealer begins to qualify for an extra set-up charge. If you feel the need for the presence of an experienced person during set-up, you should go ahead and ask for that extra. If they suggest a reaso... | |
| Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT? The new Rega turntables are interesting. They are designed around the principle of very low mass and high stiffness. These characteristics are chosen to minimize energy storage in the body of the turntable that then can be released into the plat... | |
| Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT? I’d like to hear that particular Rega, too. No argument here. But is the RP10 their top of the line? If so, can you really buy it for only $6K or less? EDIT. I just checked the price, and Raul is correct. It's a minimalist design for sure, which ... | |
| Has anyone owned or heard the OMA SP-10R TT? Chakster is 100% right, in my opinion. Which is to say we have the same opinion. If you want a great turntable, world class, for under $10K, get the SP10R and then have a plinth devised for it, which need not cost you more than a few thousand bu... | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Elliot mentioned Julie Christie. Is that OK? | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono See Julie Christie either as Lara in Dr Zhivago, or in Shampoo with Warren Beatty. | |
| Upgraded turntable - is my current setup sufficient? I might add that on a gross level, I think your Adcom phono stage is a weak link, once you have installed the Marantz. There are innumerable excellent phono stages available these days for your MM cartridge that cost under $500. | |
| Upgraded turntable - is my current setup sufficient? I think your question was whether you would be able to appreciate an improvement from your new Marantz rig, in the context of your present system, compared to the denon that you now own. My answer is a tentative yes. Beyond that I would take with ... | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Tablejockey, No, I am referring to June Christy, not Julie London. I well know the difference between them, and I own albums by both artists. June Christy started her career shortly after WW2, before Julie London hit the scene. She was briefly mar... |
