| 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... | |
| SME tonearm rewire - holy cow You left out a major point of interest for me and others like me. In your new wiring, do the leads go directly from the cartridge pins all the way to the phono stage? And is this a change from previous? Because that sort of modification generally ... | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Sorry, June Christy, not Julie Christy. I think I was mixing her up with the British actress of the same era. | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Elliott, I have two recordings of Julie Christy's "Something Cool", both on Capitol. One is stereo and the other is mono. If you listen carefully, you can detect that Julie does not even sing the songs in exactly the same way on both LPs, and th... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 I forgot to mention that Davey was right to point out there is no analogy between the value or cost of vintage Ferrari race cars and the SAT turntable or tonearms. I think the masochist in me just loves to tell that story. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 Davey, I can't agree with you that stratospheric product pricing such as we see with regard to SAT is going to ruin the hobby. On the contrary, I see it as one more sign of life. For youngsters or first-timers who want to play vinyl, SAT is a to... | |
| Matching Cartridge + Headshell + Tonearm combination In terms of the resulting resonant frequency, yes. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 davey, I think your point or what is driving your responses is that you are angry/upset/unhappy with the prices. Life is too short for that sort of fretting, so far as I am concerned, but you are entitled to your huff. I am more pissed off that ... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 First, let me say that my opening remark was not meant as a condemnation of the SAT products per se just on the basis of their very high cost. I try not to do that or think like that. The turntables and tonearms might be very very good, maybe th... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor Luis, I don’t know what you mean when you say the Feickert is “not so good“ for cartridge alignment. Can you elaborate? Because unless you are very anal about the process, I find the Feickert to be excellent on all counts. And because I am admitte... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 What is your question or problem that others might comment on? When it comes to the SAT, nearly every one of us is in the same boat with you; we could never afford it, nor would we afford it (just on principle) if we could. |
