| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? testpilot, At least our blather is good for SOMEthing!I am feeling tempted to try out a 930st, which is kind of like going into the ocean up to your waist. I will now lie down until this feeling of temptation abates. I have no shelf space, for on... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? I try not to judge either audiophiles or audiophile equipment based on what the former spends or what the latter costs, but I am amazed sometimes, on both counts. Nevertheless, here we are talking only about the merits of a particular turntable, ... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR Raul, I like those tonearm leads. What is the cost? | |
| Shelter 501 mkii then what now What is the original cantilever? (Aluminum, boron, or Ruby/sapphire?). And what is the shape of the OEM stylus? Thx. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Norman, What I found to be odd, when I looked on Hi-Fi Shark, was that the pricing fell into two groups: ~$5000US vs ~$30,000US (although I chose to quote the highest price, $40,000 in my recent post). There were 3-4 tables available in each of t... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR Chak, the Triplanar mounts in much the same way as a Reed. I own one of each. I do like the Reed, too. But Raul and I agree that the base SL1200G tonearm is very nicely designed and manufactured. I had a very close look at it in May when I was... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? The resurrection of this thread prompted me to take a look at current values of an EMT 927. I was surprised to find that asking prices of examples that are for sale range from about $5000 US to about $40,000 US. Samples in the latter category of ... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR Jeez.That’s amazing. A website that is run by a commercial entity that makes arm boards for the SL 1200 G series and sells SME and Jelco tonearms, advises that either of these arms is a good upgrade replacement for the stock tonearm. Isn’t it poss... | |
| Tonearm for Technics 1200GR I am just curious why you feel the need to replace the stock tonearm, insofar as the ones you are considering are not obviously superior to the original. Also, you say you must have an armboard available for purchase. Lots of luck with finding a r... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? So, did you exchange the original Ortofon RF297 arm for an EMT RF297? What don't I understand? My only point was and is that there is in reality no such thing as a "mono" tonearm, provided one is willing to re-wire. I would have guessed that re-... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Pcosta, “Made for mono use” when applied to a tonearm can only mean that it is wired for true mono, with only two signal carrying conductors between headshell and the tonearm output single RCA plug. That situation is easily rectifiable by any of ... | |
| Dynavector XX2 mk2 vs Lyra DELOS which is better? I apologize if this sounds dismissive, but only you can decide between those two cartridges in your system with your own ears, because they are fairly close together in performance level. You can collect opinions here all day long, and you probabl... | |
| MC loading at 47K No. | |
| MC loading at 47K I was thinking last night that results might to some degree depend upon the input capacitance of the first gain stage in your phono section. Both of my phono stages use a cascode input. In a cascode, the gain element that receives the incoming si... | |
| MC loading at 47K Most audiophiles have a Pavlovian response to the question of how to load an MC cartridge. They've been told for so long and from so many sources to use a low value resistor (typically 100R or some resistance that is about 10X the internal resist... |
