| 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... | |
| Balanced XLR to RCA Adapters: Good or Bad? Right on, Dan_ed. The only good connector is no connector. But sometimes they are unavoidable. I for one wonder why the SE standard is not BNC instead of RCA. BNC would seem to have the potential to sound better. | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. He means LPs, Nikola. He means LPs are more important than the gear we use to listen to them. If one is an audiophile, one must always be careful to say that lest the listener were to think one is merely a gearhead.You guys want vintage? I will gi... | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply OK. I read what Jlovey wrote. He is saying that the main benefit of the Sanders controller in his opinion was the convenience of changing speed. But he does not say there are NO other benefits, merely that he is not overwhelmed by any improvement ... | |
| Lenco and Garrard external ac power supply "It has been told on lenco heaven that it was mainly for convenience when used with a PTP,as you can change speed at distance.For the sound not a great difference so not a replacement unit for the loricraft."Dear Gilles, I don't get your point. If... |
