| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Dear Steve, If your subwoofers have built-in amplification designed to receive signal from a line-level source, you will have a big problem driving those amplifiers from the output of your main amplifier; it won't work. The signal voltage is much... | |
| Nakamichi TX 1000 turntable This was 2 years ago; the OP probably bought and sold the TX1000 in that length of time. But $6-7K range is where I have seen them for sale. I agree that $3K would be very low. On the other hand, the first guy, who said that they are hard to rep... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Wrm, I own a 10.5" Reed 2A with the optional azimuth adjustment. It's one of my favorite tonearms. I don't quite understand why you say that you don't "need" the azimuth adjustment feature because of owning the Feickert Adjust stuff. The Feicker... | |
| Upgrade Linn LP 12 or buy new table Dear Hal, I think these last few guys have put you on a sensible track. Since your last reference point for what vinyl sounds like is your LP12, it makes most sense to spend a few hundred bucks just to bring your LP12 back to life, with no upgrad... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Isn't this stuff best posted on the "other" thread, sometimes known as "the thread" on MM cartridges? Just sayin'... | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner Recordgenius, Thank you for correcting me, above. I apologize for using the term "BS"; I only meant that there was good information and perhaps less relevant information and some other information with a commercial tint. However, I apologize also... | |
| Premium distilled water for ultrasonic record cleaner There's some truth and some BS in this thread. For a treatise that is worth reading, go here:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/finding-pure-water-for-record-cleaning-very-long?highlight=water | |
| Tonearm recommendation Fleib, I've got one of Dertonearm's UNItractors. With it, I got him to make me a template for aligning my FR64S. I am aware also that he recommends 231.5mm for P2S. What I don't readily understand is why the difference between 230mm and 231.5mm ... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Dear Raul,I am deliberately trying to stay out of the "debate". (Perhaps you prefer that word to "argument".) I take no sides. I am just trying to figure out how one could shed some light on the discussion by actual experimentation. Therefore,... | |
| Tonearm recommendation I guess my post had as much effect on the argumentative nature of the discussion as a loud burp. So be it. I may even invest in a spectrum analyzer in order to perform the experiment I outlined. I do own enough tonearms to make it interesting, n... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Tonearms to hard core audiophiles are like politics for most all of us. Best left off the table, As several have mentioned, what is really needed are actual data. One sort of experiment that I would like to see done would be as follows:Decide up... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought Re the Crown IC150. I never owned one, fortunately for me, but it was notorious back in the 70s for great measurements and lousy sound. It was also unreliable, IIRC. Similarly, Julian Hirsch was notorious among audio cognoscenti for worthless BS ... | |
| Record Weight "Inner Groove Distortion" For many years, I was a record weight deny-er. Then I started experimenting with the record weight that is part of the Kenwood L07D "system", made back in the day by Kenwood for the L07D. Weighs about 4 lbs. I don't think there's anything speci... | |
| Xor or single ended? cleeds is basically correct but not entirely correct. The coil in the cartridge has two free ends; I think we can easily agree on that. When you use the cartridge in single-ended mode, one end is connected to the hot pin or the hot female input ... | |
| The one component that you wish you had not bought I'm sorry,I cannot answer that question in a public forum.Good question, though.They weren't "terrible", but I did not like the Sumiko Blue Point or Benz Glider (first version) cartridges very much and was pleased to be rid of both. |
