| Planning to sell my Micro DDX-1000, recommendations? In my opinion, either one of your two tonearms is worth as much as or more than your DDX1000. | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? Thanks, cleeds. You obviously know the subject quite well. Nowadays and for about the last 8 to 10 years, most new cars come with the capacity to receive SiriusXM. In my case, I tried SiriusXM in my car, on a lark, and now I am really hooked on it... | |
| 8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl I can't believe there are 38 responses to this friendly troll. 8T sucks, plain and simple. | |
| can i recreate the sound of vinyl by encoding the vinyl frequencies onto digital audio? Lew here. I'm with Mike. | |
| Now I get it... I re-read what I wrote above, and I realize it's possibly confusing, so kudos to Uber for more or less getting my idea. Here's a better way to say it: Over the decades, I have developed some biases regarding record labels. For example, I don't ... | |
| McIntosh MR78 upgrades? cleeds, I am not in any way challenging your statement that FM radio is a "huge industry" in the US, but with all respect can you explain the why and how that works? Thanks. | |
| Now I get it... I have found that beyond the situation in which you now find yourself, there is a promised land where your system can find the "good" parts of a badly recorded LP. (Can't do much about bad musicianship.) Nowadays there are very few LPs that spur ... | |
| Who Has the New Top Technics SL1200GRE? Does it blow your other expensive tables away? Vinny, After 14 months, are you still collecting opinions, or have you purchased a turntable, or did you ever have any intention of purchasing a turntable? Not that there's anything wrong with that. | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? At least we do agree it is not a great idea to re-tip a 17D series cartridge, if you want to restore its particular original SQ. Yes, you're right; I am too old and too cynical based on past experience to buy a cartridge off eBay, unless it's fro... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Joe, Do you own an original "17D", with no numeric suffix? How old is THAT? My memory only goes back to the 17D2, and I have been doing this for 40 years.Chak, All I am suggesting is that a newbie doesn't get much help from the idea of finding a... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Chak, you frequently recommend the 17D2. As you know, it has been superseded by the 17D3, more than a decade ago or even two decades ago, and even the 17D3 has been discontinued and replaced by the 17DX, a current model that can actually be purch... | |
| High or Low output MC cartridge? In case I wasn’t clear, although I thought I was, LOMC>> HOMC, my opinion. | |
| Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active The Jensen Transformer website contains or used to contain some excellent white papers on transformer loading, as per the subject of Intact's and Atma's posts. They show how and why to load down the secondaries to compensate for the effects menti... | |
| Thorens TD-125 MK1 with SME 3009 TD 124 is a completely different animal compared to TD125. One has nothing to do with the other, either sound-wise or mechanically. To begin with, I wouldn’t trust a private individual to pack and ship a delicate turntable properly, and if I were ... | |
| Thorens TD-125 MK1 with SME 3009 The TD125 had some electronics that govern speed. That aspect can be problematic in a very old sample, like this one. Just a point to consider. Can you inspect it in person? That would be a requirement, for me. |
