| Help me decide what to do with old tube amps I did some Googling. Is the Audionics amplifier tube type or solid state? Can you see a model number anywhere? | |
| Help me decide what to do with old tube amps Hafler preamp is of course no mystery.Neither is Audionics. I certainly recall the brand name. Can you post a photo? (This can be done by posting on photobucket or some other similar photo site and then providing the URL here.) | |
| garrard 301 and its' restorations Whatever it is that you are talking about, it is not "normal to idlers". Idlers can be judged by the very same criteria used to judge belt- and direct-drive turntables; the platter should never wobble visibly. At the micro level, probably no tur... | |
| Trying to setup new system for digital. Line Magnetic and Double impact speakers What's a "Tekton double impact"? Sounds like an energy booster drink. | |
| Bass distortion-Playing LP's only,,,,please help Krelldog, Better to move either your turntable or probably just one of your woofers (if they are separately housed). Though the rumble filter will probably do the job, it's another item in the signal path that probably you could get along without... | |
| Can stepup transformer be used with an MC phono stage? Your math is good, and I'd say go for it. But you might want to double check on the load resistor value. I do agree that the fact you have an RCA jack dedicated to adding an external load resistor suggests that the fixed value one is 47K. Or "op... | |
| Can stepup transformer be used with an MC phono stage? Let's see: You added to my information by guessing at the value of the input resistor installed in the OP's particular product. Your guess of 47K is one of the possibilities entertained in my post. After that, everything you wrote is in agreemen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? JT, In memory of the late, great Johnny Carson, how "massive" is it? Which is to ask, what is the effective mass? Thanks. | |
| Can stepup transformer be used with an MC phono stage? To do this would be unusual in several ways. First, because you only need about a 2X gain in signal voltage to get where you need to be in terms of input sensitivity, whereas most SUTs operating into an MM phono stage are designed and built to yi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Chakster, For the second time, I did not say, and I have no basis to believe, that the CS100 is "not good". I said that some (others) don't rate it as highly as you do. This is not to say that you are not correct in your judgement, either. ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Best-groove, You're right. Sorry for my negativity. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I too own an NOS 881S mk2, a used 980 LZS (pretty much used up by me), an NOS 981LZS, and an NOS CS100. The operative phrase is "NOS", which means that I have never even unpacked the cartridges in question. The vintage Stanton that I have listen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, Per your post of 6/21/17, I would take issue with some of the cartridges you chose to place on your "best ever" list. For example, many believe that the Stanton CS100 is not even the best vintage Stanton cartridge. But my point is that... | |
