| Phono pre for Technics SL-1000R (Esoteric E-02?) As Chakster is trying to say, and I think you got it, the cartridge needs to be a good match for the tonearm, in terms of its compliance and the tonearm effective mass. Likewise, mate the phono stage to the cartridge, in terms of the cartridge in... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono -vs- Manley Labs Chinook Mijo, I think you will find that Raul is of one mind, when it comes to solid state vs tubes. And you won't change him. I also own his J&R Phonolinepreamp, and it is actually a superb piece, all SS of course. When I say "his", I mean that Rau... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono -vs- Manley Labs Chinook I own and enjoy a Steelhead. If you want to know about a relatively cheap but effective upgrade for the Chinook, one that really improved the SQ of my Steelhead, contact me privately. | |
| Are There Any Risks to Your Stylus From Using Magic Eraser Ditto for catcher10. I would not recommend "scrubbing", or any horizontal movement of the stylus, while it is in contact with ME. Up and down only. I happen to own a lab grade microscope, and I inspected a few styli before and after ME, using o... | |
| PS Audio Stellar Phono -vs- Manley Labs Chinook Stingray has a built-in phono section? I thought it was essentially a linestage with a lot of high level inputs, in case your phono stage does not provide same. | |
| Jvc tt101 ql10 platter repair or for sale Two amazing stories of ultra-cheap QL-10s. Most people do not know what these things can do. | |
| Jvc tt101 ql10 platter repair or for sale Most likely, for the TT101, one would want to sand the entire chassis of the turntable, along with the platter. The tolerance with which the platter fits into the chassis and on the spindle is very close. It is up to Lohanimal whether he wants to ... | |
| Jvc tt101 ql10 platter repair or for sale I am referencing an independent machinist who is unique, so far as I know, in that he is willing to deal with the fetishes of a typical audiophile, is very skilled, is amicable and not terribly expensive. I know of no other machinist with his par... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Ming is a friend of mine. He lives in Northern Virginia. I've heard his physically enormous system many times. I have his contact info, but maybe I should not divulge it publicly. If you can figure out how to contact me privately via Audiogon,... | |
| Jvc tt101 ql10 platter repair or for sale Lohanimal, Every time you have a problem that requires a machinist, I recommend Colby Lamb in Oregon, USA. I think by now you know all about this. I’m quite sure Colby could make you a completely new platter to specification. Probably superior to ... | |
| Anyway to use the DAC in an integrated cd player with an outboard transport? Only ji35 and I doubt the diagnosis.This is an easy thing to check. If your raysonic has digital input then connect it to an outboard transport of your choice. I will guess that it will play fine with the outboard transport. I really think you hav... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I’ve got a couple of LP box sets of iconic recordings, by the Beatles or by Miles Davis, or by etc. Just because there is only so much time in the day, several individual LPs in these various sets have never been played. In recent weeks, because w... | |
| Anyway to use the DAC in an integrated cd player with an outboard transport? Won’t play a disc to the end sounds to me like it certainly could be a problem with the transport, not with the DAC section of the unit. Are you sure of the diagnosis? | |
| Anyone have experience with a Zesto Andros 1.2? Facetious or not, sometimes that is what you have to do if you really want to find out about a particular piece of gear. Buy one. As regards this particular unit, apparently there are not many or not any users among us, because it doesn't take mu... | |
| Direct Drive vs. Idler Drive vs. Belt drive I think HP of all people nailed it when he noted that digital reproduction effects a high pass filter albeit at a very low frequency which seems to rob the music of its natural ambiance. The bass drops off a cliff, metaphorically speaking. You don... |
