| What is the fascination? I try to stay out of these idiotic debates, but I don’t always succeed. Cleeds, do you really think the AR turntable was one of the best available in days of yore? It was wildly successful because it was regarded as the cheapest ticket to acceptab... | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? blueranger, you touched on an area of controversy. There are two camps, high mass and low mass. Linnies inhabit the latter. Low mass usually goes with spring or other suspensions. High mass usually goes with no suspension. "Better" is whatever... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? amg, You may be correct, that the DDX1500 is quartz-referenced. I was extrapolating from what I have read, probably on Vintage Knob, about the DDX1000 and DQX1000, namely that the "Q" indicates quartz-referencing. Also, I googled "DQX1500" befor... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? Forgot to say, I am not a collector. All of my turntables are in use except for the Denon DP80, which I would sell if the market value was not so ridiculously low. If anyone wants to get into this game, the DP80 is the one to look for; it can ge... | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? This is a subject about which I know something. Only two turntables or maybe one and a half turntables mentioned so far would play in the same league with the PD444, if we restrict ourselves to vintage direct drive. These include a Micro Seiki a... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Come onnnnnn!!! There's got to be someone somewhere who dislikes the Herron phono stage. Or have you all been drinking Kool Aid at BPoletti's house? (This is a joke, folks.) | |
| Best turntable under $2000 Your areas of dissatisfaction with your Rega P2 turntable suggest to me that you would be happier with a direct drive turntable. The faults that you cite in respect of the Rega are possibly due to speed inaccuracy that is endemic with belt drive ... | |
| Help me make a decision! Turntable overload For the OP, I totally agree with those who maintain that the best bang for your buck would be to buy vintage. But taking that pathway requires a certain level of sophistication, understanding of circuit design and of how products interact, and wi... | |
| Help me make a decision! Turntable overload Raymonda, wrong thread. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Never read a bad word about the Herron or Keith Herron during my years of frequenting this forum. | |
| Herron VTPH-2A Phono Preamp....anyone familiar? Tooblue, Which Allnic? The H1201?If the Chinook circuit is like that of my Steelhead, then there are a few easy tweaks that dramatically improve the performance. For those with the guts to modify the product. I probably wouldn’t advise it, if your... | |
| Current injection (amplification) phono stages The thing is also that none of the current injection phono stages truly present a dead short, either. They present a very low impedance however (on the order of a few ohms), much lower than that of a conventional phono stage. | |
| Current injection (amplification) phono stages Chakster , the way these special phono stages work is based on the notion that the first amplification stage becomes part of the cartridge output. So in theory you want the source impedance of the cartridge to be as low as possible. In fact not al... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Bimasta, I don’t think we want to talk politics here. Nor are we allowed to by the rules, I think. That is why I apologized for my post. I think there is a whole separate forum for arguing about the state of the world. I am too frustrated and conv... | |
| SAT Comparison Perhaps I would rephrase my post above by stating instead that a person who can afford a $48,000 tonearm is not likely to care about his or her listening room. Because the tonearm is just for show. Just like Fabio’s $2 million system. And just ... |
