| Is it possible to be an audiophile and be happy with what you have "..can a audiophile just be happy with what they have [sic]?"Yes, so long as he has at least half a dozen cartridges, a like number of tonearms and turntables and at least two complete audio systems. That's me, and I am happy as a clam. | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Chakster, No, I am not familiar with F9F. What cantilever does it use? | |
| Grace F9 F8 F-9 F-8 Andante F9 F-9 H S Sumiko Pearl Supex Phono Stylus GAS Sleeping Beauty Dan, I too often make mistakes, but it does seem to me from memory that the Ruby, which also carries the categorical designation "F9", is alone in having the ruby/sapphire cantilever. I always thought that this is what differentiates it from the ... | |
| Jimmy Fallon has a Mcintosh turntable Dover, Nice to know I am so important to you that you crawled all the way over here to insult me on another thread. The moderator will later probably remove this post, but he ought also to consider removing your posts from this and the DD thread,... | |
| AMR PH-77, ARC Reference 2, Allnic H-3000, Octave Agucela, What that means is that the circuit inside is single-ended (often abbreviated "SE"), but the maker has also provided an XLR jack for output to some other device that may have an XLR input jack. It's well that the manufacturer admits this... | |
| Jimmy Fallon has a Mcintosh turntable I guess I don't know my way around Clearaudio TT's, but why would upwards of $8K be good value for the M10? I guess because you get a tonearm and cartridge too. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Totem and JP, As you also may be able to glean from reading Halcro's and my recent posts, a few years ago I was able to find and buy about 10 samples of the SC3042. In the last few weeks, I sent two of them to a fellow aficionado in Germany, know... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Dover, To ask a question or to wonder is not to "trivialize". The basis for learning is questions and answers. That's about all I can say to you that is not vitriolic. I would hope that JP appreciates the fact that my earlier post meant hi... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear JP, Congratulations on your perseverance and genius in pursuing the Mk3 "problem" to its potential solution. Now that you're here, and pursuant to Dover's lament and criticisms, did you mean to infer that the apparently increased accuracy of... | |
| Jimmy Fallon has a Mcintosh turntable Isn't the Mc turntable essentially a re-branded and re-packaged version of someone else's turntable? Can't remember what brand and model, but I don't think Mc developed the thing from scratch.Mordante, Point well taken. I am an American. I do kn... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? rw, Thank you for doing the legwork to unearth the fact that it is the SL1300, and perhaps not the SL1500 or SL1600, that utilizes the MN6042 chip also necessary in an SP10 Mk3. Sorry for my alphanumeric error. I was going on second-hand info re... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I think the chip was made by NPC, which stands for "Nippon something something". I will check the label when I am able to get to it. It is indeed a good idea to specify the maker when ordering, so as to be sure there is no confusion, even though... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks, Henry. In fact, I did not "corner the market" on the Integrated Circuit needed to run the TT101. I bought only several of them, but probably could have bought 100. I found them a few years ago from a Hong Kong or mainland China vendor s... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? You certainly could be correct on the TT801. I read that blurb on Vintage Knob too, earlier today. The TT801 wouldn't interest me purely for the vacuum hold-down, but the idea that it might be different from the TT101 in other ways, most notably ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? rwwear, I almost giggled when I read your statement that you might prefer the TT101 to the TT801, because the former is "more easily serviced". Indeed, if there is a more complex and difficult to service DD mechanism in the world than that of the... |
