| What phono preamp would be good for a Dynavector Karat 17D3? I don't think this is really a question. The only way in which the cartridge needs to match the phono preamplifier is in terms of the latter having enough gain to deal with the cartridge output. Once you're sure of that, it's a matter of your pr... | |
| Which pickup do I sell, which do I keep? tkr, You seem to have an elaborate system, although you don't mention downstream components. But I get the impression that selling one of these 4 cartridges is not a matter of economic necessity. So, I'd say keep them all. Most of us nuts own m... | |
| Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go Terry9, I am not lubing my nuts, no matter how it might benefit the sound. | |
| Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go fourwinds, Just to clarify, azimuth is NOT about channel balance. It is about crosstalk, the degree to which L channel information leaks into the R channel, and vice-versa. This phenomenon has a lot to do with the illusion of stage width that t... | |
| Recent retip(canti also) Dude where did my soundstage width go Azimuth? Azimuth affects channel separation. | |
| Phono stage It's always the case that when someone like yourself posts a list of choices, the recommendations that follow will name components not on the list. But in this case, I agree with the suggestions. If you were to choose among the Allnic H1201, the... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? So surprised to learn here that you love SME turntables, Invictus. Not. Will the SME 20 also take out my appendix? Can I go to it for advice on investments? Does it do dishes? I figured your posting here on a belt-drive turntable must be your ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I think we've had this discussion of switching PSs before on this thread, but maybe not. Anyway, at that time I also pointed out that David Berning, the designer of Berning amplification products, has been using switching power supplies at least ... | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 Nandric, I am sorry that you mistook my estimate of the market value for the Kenwood L07D as an offer to sell at that price. However, if you outlive me, you are welcome to petition my wife for the right to purchase mine, provided I have not figur... | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 Although you didn't explicitly say so, it sounds like you're looking for another BD, like your Thorens or like the VPI turntables you named. There's nothing wrong with that. | |
| I'd like to hear recommendations for Turntables under $5,000 I don't think one should put the DD candidates in the same basket with the BD candidates, but I do think one can buy a superb turntable for under $5000, if one is willing to buy a used or refurbished unit. Or any one of the current production tur... | |

| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! Dear Jonathan,Thanks very much for that URL. I was totally unaware of that product. My first reaction is to note how exactly the Ikeda "B60" resembles my own reproduction of the FR B60. It's deja vu all over again.I cannot decipher the Japanese... | |
| SME V Tonearm on eBay Hong Kong Sellers are FAKE!!! There is a huge ethical difference between making a replica of a tonearm that is still available from the manufacturer/inventor and then selling it under the pretense that it is a bona fide original and the making and marketing of a reproduction o... | |
