| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? The one URL you did provide takes me to a site written in a Germanic language, and none of those URLs go anywhere interesting. Can you provide reference to actual photos of the turntables to which you refer?The "technology" of a belt drive is qui... | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings Systems that rely upon a center clamp or weight, such as the SME one, certainly are superior to doing nothing, but if the LP is truly warped in a nasty way, you cannot flatten the outer edge of the LP reliably just by clamping it at its center, no... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Stalker, know thyself. | |
| Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum Separate the AC cords from the ICs first, then we'll talk. If you could manage it even for experimental purposes, for example by bringing power via a long extension cord that would permit you to re-route your AC cords so they don't have to go thr... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Or if there have been 70,000 boutique fuses sold (which data would be very hard to get hold of since there are so many different vendors of so many different fuses), we have no way to know whether a given buyer was happy with his purchase or heard... | |
| Outer ring - who uses and what are your findings I have one for my Kenwood L07D. I don't routinely use it, but when I did use it, I placed it directly on the platter edge, UNDER the lip of the LP, so that I didn't have to remove the ring every time I played another LP, with the attendant risk t... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Actually, the flaw in my own position is that I did hear a difference between fuses, and the cheap fuse sounded better than the boutique fuse. I got it backwards according to gospel, but those are the facts. What is more important is that five o... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B I don't think this is the place for this tired debate to be rehashed. I will only say that I completely agree with Raul when he describes the very powerful effect of listener bias, especially the bias that is there when one has spent hundreds of ... | |
| Parasound JC 3+ Phono Preamp Hum You had hum with both the old phono and the new JC3+. You say you can do nothing about the fact that power cables run in parallel with audio cables in your set-up. In my opinion, that's the first thing you must rectify before you assess any othe... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new I think we pretty much agree on this, Raul. | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new Dover, Thank you for correcting me. But we are talking about two different things. However, I do take your point; there is a "cantilever" upstream from the coils. What I do not appreciate is your inability to make a point without also throwing ... | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings Edgeware, thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge of the subject. It’s possible that I am thinking of US pressings under the London label, and that would explain a lot. I will go through my collection and see what I have here because I stil... | |
| are "LONDON" pressings made in the UK, inferior to the Decca pressings It's interesting to read this thread about Decca vs London LPs, because it runs counter to my memory of the 1970s, when I was regularly buying classical LPs new from places like Tower Records and other emporia in the Washington, DC, area. I had o... | |
| Valve phono stage Allnic H1201 is probably very good. This is based only on reading, but I have seen back and forth discussions of H1201 vs Herron VTPH2, suggesting that the two are in the same league.Chakster, Good that you found a reputable seller from which to ... | |
| Dynavector cartridges, old and new My statement was hyperbole for sure. But sometimes, some folks sound as though the very rarity of the cartridge, in terms of its structure, is cause for excitement. I agree one has to listen to each cartridge, case by case. It’s almost a separate ... |
