| ZYX Optimum phono cartridge - a defining statement Audiotomb, I respect your effort both to purchase all those great ZYX cartridges and to report your long term experiences. I am and have been a big fan of the original Universe, and I have no doubt that some of its progeny may be even better. How... | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production Raul, good point! | |
| Technics SL-1200 goes out of production I have no dog in this fight, but I do happen to be here in Tokyo for the past two weeks. Today and about two days ago, I saw for sale at Yodibashi Camera what was labeled as a Technics SL1200 Mk 7. Yes, mark seven. What’s up with that? Yodibas... | |
| Can we finally put Reel to Reel out of its misery? Put it to rest people. Doctor Negativo strikes again with another pointless rant. | |
| JVC MC1 Moving Coil Cartridge - Heritage? Thanks, Chakster. The author of that piece is a wise man, even when his English is translated from Japanese. His experiences as a general rule parallel my own. Which is why I am loathe to make definitive statements about anything. Related to Audio... | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Teo, so sorry. I must have woken up on the wrong side of the turntable. But many of your recommendations are “far out”, in my opinion. If you care to amplify, I’m curious. | |
| I'm putting to rest worrying about sibilance Teo, so are you saying that Teflon dielectric causes sibilance? Not to mention “magnetic” electrolytics and RCA jacks? I don’t even know where one could buy the latter two items; they virtually don’t exist.. And gain stages by definition cannot be... | |
| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? Rocky did you engineer a central depression to allow for the label area? What species of wood? Geoff’s point about warpage is a good one. | |
| Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help! Denon not “turn on”. Using voice messaging here. Sorry. | |
| Figuring Cartridge Compliance.. Help! I agree with Raul that you don’t have to go crazy with a perfect match for that cartridge. On the other hand I know a local guy who has one of the best sounding systems I have ever heard in my life who uses a homemade tonearm that from the looks ... | |
| hi anbody have a wood record mat ? The poor OP asked about a WOODEN record mat and so far I see not one relevant response.(Cork is not what he meant.) I’ve never seen or heard of a solid wood mat but it’s an interesting idea. Is there even a commercially made example? Perhaps the O... | |
| AT 1000 buying opportunity in the East I shopped for that cartridge in Tokyo exactly one year ago. The price in Tokyo is approximately the same as it is in the USA. Don’t waste your time. However I don’t know about Hong Kong or anywhere else in the world. I would not expect it to be l... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable At the very least, get the TT101’s out of the garage. The moisture and changes in temperature and humidity that might occur in the garage would be bad news for the circuit boards in the TT101. Put them in a dry location with a stable room temperat... | |
| Plinth ideas for DENON PD-80 DD turntable I own both but cannot compare them, because different plinths, tonearms, and cartridges. And they are connected to two entirely different systems, one feeding Beveridge speakers (TT101) and one feeding Sound Lab 845PXs (DP80). And, the DP80 sits i... | |
| Ultrasonic cleaning with kirmuss and loss of high frequency details. Like I said here last week, the question of whether US cleaning harms LPs can be asked in a fairly scientific manner using test LPs that encode pure tones at known frequencies. There is no real need to guess or go on subjective impressions. Someo... |
