| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Thanks, Al. I am in need of a mono cartridge. Based on that table and other information, I gather that AT make at least two mono cartridges of interest. Has anyone here auditioned an AT Mono? I started reading this thread with a bias toward the AT... | |
| 6SN7 tube question There is a lot of lore built up around the various brands and types of 6SN7s. Most of all, if your Rogue came with GTA or GTB types, stick with either one of those types. (They have the same max plate voltage of 450V, whereas the GT types are only... | |
| RIAA vs Columbia vs Decca Vintage, Such a device as you propose would have to operate on an already RIAA-equalized signal from the phono section. That's a whole different kettle of fish from applying an alternative equalization curve within the phono stage circuit itself. ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I like what Pani said. My Ortofon MC2000 is relatively new to me and my system. I got that thrill of discovery when I first auditioned it (without a SUT into my modified super hi-gain Atma-sphere MP1 loaded at 47K). And I think I reported my resul... | |
| fabulous Technics EPC-100 series re-tip I would trust Axel. He seems to have done a great job re-tipping my Ortofon MC2000, another "heirloom" cartridge. It's easily the finest sounding LOMC I have ever heard in my own system. But my advice would be to adhere as much as possible to the ... | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision Logic is the hobgoblin of the audiophile mind. | |
| Woofer pumping WHY?? What? Your not angry at Doug, too? | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision You try to help a guy, and this is what you get... Sheesh! | |
| Woofer pumping WHY?? I totally agree with your assessment. In fact, I think there may be two separate issues: (1) the inherent defect in the tt, and (2) some sort of room interaction that is partially ameliorated by the granite shelf. At least, these dual hypotheses a... | |
| Woofer pumping WHY?? Matt, Take a second look at your own logic in your post of 08/02. If the woofer pumping in your system were due to "the records we play", then a slab of granite placed under the tt could not have much effect on the problem, because the source of t... | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision Matt, Glad you're happy now, or at least happier. In fact, you need not thank most of us, because it seems you took none of our advice (re-position the tt and/or speakers; examine the tt, especially the bearing, for flaws, etc). This is perfectly ... | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision Matt, I finally went and read a few of the most recent posts on your other "woofer pumping" thread. I think Rodman9999 et al have a good point; the periodicity of the woofer pumping, plus your statement that the problem is not the same when you re... | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision I always wondered, where do cows go, before they come home, and why would they ever come home? | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision How have you been playing LPs? Cover on or cover off? If cover has been on, take it off. If cover has been off, try with cover on, but I usually find that overall I like the sound best when the tt is naked, no cover. Others don't always agree, how... | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision Matt, I just read this thread from top to bottom. I also saw the "woofer pumping" thread, but did not read it in its entirety. However, I have to ask an obvious question: where is your tt located with respect to your speakers? (I am sure this ques... |
