| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? Gallus, You got me interested when you mentioned the Luxman switch box, because Luxman makes good stuff. However, the AS4 seems to be made for AV systems, which is to say it's for switching high level signals, not mV level signals as seen from a ... | |
| Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable According to several posters on Vinyl Asylum, this company or this product has gone under. The stories are conflicting. One is that it cost too much to produce. Another is that it cannot work with an MC cartridge because of the magnetic field. ... | |
| Is Graham Slee Revelation best affordable all around phono pre? What you're after in your text seems not quite in agreement with the title of your thread. Yes, I would guess that the Slee Revelation is an excellent choice for the particular needs you mention, but no, I doubt the Slee Revelation is the "best a... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush three-easy, Manley, in the Chinook and in my Steelhead, use a hybrid cascode at the phono input. "Hybrid", because the cascode is built out of a transistor (probably a JFET) and a tube (the 6922/6DJ8). That is quite a bit different from using a ... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush I far prefer tube-based circuits to solid state, for sound quality, but all tubes do have a finite life span, and as the end draws near, they become noisier, until they reach a final common pathway of being noisy. This malady will affect SLN tube... | |
| Vinyl turntable mat? Your powers of description do not match your level of enthusiasm. Can you say more clearly what you did? What I read starts with a question about a vinyl platter mat. And you point out that a vinyl mat might have the feature of draining energy ... | |
| shibata or microline, pls respond ONLY if you specifically have tried both. I think mijostyn et al are saying that azimuth changes when you adjust VTA. If not, please someone correct me. Yes, I think it would change by a very little bit, but one does not have free choice in setting VTA; VTA first and foremost has to be se... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Almarg and Hagtech, Do I conclude from the talk about Johnson noise that (1) MM cartridges with their inherently much higher internal resistance and much much greater inductance will be noisier than MC types? (But of course the noise that accompa... | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Thanks. I can’t argue with your logic, and won’t.I might wonder whether one can model a phono cartridge based solely on its internal resistance, in that calculation. But I have no better idea. | |
| Phono Preamp Tube Rush Whether or not you have "tube rush", in my opinion, is much more a function of the topology of the phono circuit than it is a matter of buying super low noise tubes. RAM and Kevin are completely reputable, but any tube will become noisier as it ag... | |
| Audio Note members re going from M3 Line to M6 phono If these are your choices with no other options to be considered, I can only suggest that there are several fine MM and MI cartridges that more than hold their own with the Denon DL103. So, by choosing one of those, you can avoid the considerable... | |
| Turntable Help Why not take the original motor to a competent tech who can find out what you did wrong when you "opened it up"? As to the wiring, we have less information than you do. You need to know the previous wiring diagram. Did you take notes or make a dra... | |
| Turntable Ground Wire question A brief internet search suggests that equalization for 78 rpm records made prior to about 1950 is a veritable can of worms. I was surprised, because I might have guessed that equalization was not used back then. If you're going to use a dedicate... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Been listening a lot to my Dynavector 17D3 cum diamond cantilever. I "inherited" this cartridge due to the passing of one of my best friends and partners in audiophilia. At the time he bought it (new), I believe he paid about $800-$900, and it w... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? big-greg, Just so some other neophyte doesn’t go off on the wrong track, are you adding 185 ohms of resistance to spritofaudio’s statement that he sees 515 ohms at the inputs of his 834P, in order to get to 700 ohms? If so, that’s WAY wrong. No ph... |
