| Audio-Technica ART 7 #2. I bought it in Tokyo. There is no advantage to buying in Tokyo; price was about the same as eBay. 2juki has a good reputation; I would not hesitate to buy from him.#1. I don't believe that the audibility of "surface noise" is merely a functi... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Raul, What the heck are you talking about when you say "UNIDIN"? Actually, after posting, I recalled that I used the Feickert protractor for alignment after setting the P2S at 231.5mm. Set to the Baerwald scale on the Feickert. Anyway, you hate... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 I'm sorry. Did you read my post? I've been using the ART7. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Nandric, I don't mind your allusions to what might or might not be my own beliefs and practices, but where did I ever say that I am "trusting the designers by assumption that they know what they are doing"? I really don't think I ever expressed t... | |
| Audio-Technica ART 7 I own an ART7 that I bought last year while visiting our son in Tokyo. (The cost in Tokyo is really no different from typical mail order prices in the USA, by the way.) I only recently installed it in a Dynavector DV505 on a modified Lenco, feedi... | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale For my edification, what IS the cost of a new fully equipped LP12? | |
| Why so many linn lp12s for sale The question was asked in 2014. Before any of us knew there would be a new and completely revised version of the SL1200. For a person who purchased the LP12 in the first place, even an old original SL1200 (or any DD turntable) is a huge departur... | |
| How good is the Artisan Fidelity Lenco 75?? Sorry. I am not directly familiar with the Joule OPS-1, but I have great respect for the designer. And it has a good rep. You might easily check on the value by searching for others that are for sale on the internet. That's what I would do bef... | |
| How good is the Artisan Fidelity Lenco 75?? My favorite LOMC is the ZYX UNIverse in any of its many versions. I think you can buy a low mileage UNIverse II for around $2K to $3K. But I also like many vintage MM and MI cartridges that cost quite a bit less. I am currently running an Audio... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64x Chakster, You have to acquire something uses tubes for gain. Then you have to say here how much better it sounds than your SS stuff, just to piss off Raul. Seriously, Nelson Pass is one of the greats in modern audio design; I have long had curiosi... | |
| Let's talk cartrige loading. Perhaps Atma-sphere will chime in here. I think his basic message is that the optimum resistive load in the phono stage is essentially a reflection of the stability of the phono stage itself. If your phono stage can tolerate it, you're actually b... | |
| How good is the Artisan Fidelity Lenco 75?? Those should both be superb components. My only hesitation would be the price. Since AF turntables are costly, I assume your friend would like to recoup a large fraction of his investment, which is completely understandable. On the other hand, ... | |
| Seeking arm suggestions for a Grace F9R Robbie, No problem about misspelling my moniker. | |
| Phono Preamps with "balls" ? I own both a Manley Steelhead and the Atma-sphere MP1. They both have "balls", but the MP1 has the bigger cojones, IMO. As Ralph suggests, I am not only able to load my LOMCs at 47K into the MP1, but they really do sound best that way or certain... | |
| Koetsu cartridges - what arms work? Racedoc, This is in response to your post of 10-13-2017. Therefore, you may never see it. I am not sure exactly what Peter Ledermann may have told you regarding skating force and the Viv Float. But it most certainly does generate a skating forc... |
