| Some tables have soul and some not I think you (Inna) are conflating "soul" with what Harry Pearson first called a "dark" sound. And having owned a Notts Hyperspace, I can agree that on that basis the Notts had soul. I am going to guess that tt's with big heavy platters and belt dr... | |

| marantz 10b and 10b tubes Some very common tube types are readily available anywhere. However, most of the tues in the 10B are relatively esoteric. If you do a google search on the tube type(s) you need, you will typically get a list of vendors. Then you can contact each o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think once the CIA and MI5 have investigated this, we will learn that all cartridges in the world are built and repaired by a single gnome who lives on a mountaintop somewhere in the Alps (if you find out exactly where, he has to kill you), plus... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The same guy who told me that ES does at least some of the work for vdH also told me that they will not install the paratrace on cartridges sent to them by parallel companies; paratrace is only for private individuals who go directly to ES for the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Don and others, for your response. I have heard that Expert Stylus does great work. Since I, like most of you, own many cartridges, it would be no big deal to part with one for several months, if it needed repair. As I understand it, Exper... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don,You wrote, "...back in June, I emailed Expert Stylus to have a cantilever/stylus replacement done." But when did you actually send them your cartridge? Just out of curiosity, what cartridge was it and what did they do to it that took 6 months ... | |
| Balanced XLR to RCA Adapters: Good or Bad? Hiho, This hobby is ABOUT hassle. No-hassle solutions are barred. It's not ok to avoid hassle. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK, guys.If the terrorists take out Audiogon again, we all meet at Raul's living room exactly one week later. The secret code word is "MM". Raul, be sure to keep a supply of chiles rellenos and cerveza on hand. | |
| Vintage or new turntable Thanks for correcting my syntax, Viridian. I should have written that the turntables in question (that I own and use) are no longer supported by their respective manufacturers, and among those manufacturers, one (Lenco) no longer exists. This obli... | |
| Vintage or new turntable For a newbie, I would suggest stay with the products of companies that are still in the turntable business, old or new, and that can be serviced by those companies, unless you are into advanced DIY or have a very trusted and knowledgeable repair p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Complex and possibly true. As to your one direct question, yes, the DV505 sounds better from A to Z with Stevenson vs Baerwald, I subsequently purchased one of Dertonearm's UNIprotractors along with a template specific for the DV505 as well as one... | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply Dear Jeremy, You wrote, ....."even dedicated lines (in a perfect world) if you really wanted the Lenco to be at its best"The major benefit of a dedicated line would be that the noise put back onto the AC line by the Lenco motor would not then ente... | |
| TT grounding issue Just to add... there is no danger of shorting anything out with the loose ground wire. The worst that could happen, if the bare end touches something, is to re-create another ground loop and thus produce a usually harmless but annoying hum. | |
| Phono Preamp vs Preamp for a Turntable Are you really going to plug the Parasound into the AUX input of your Marantz receiver? That's a bit like using a thoroughbred racehorse to give rides at a children's birthday party. If you have near-future intentions to upgrade everything else, i... |
