| RCA Phono Interconnect Under $400 Just to point out that the video cables almost certainly do not have separate and equal conductors for audio hot and audio ground. In my experience that makes a difference. In cheap 75 ohm video cables, most likely audio ground is carried on the s... | |
| Does a turntable mat make any difference? Many threads on this subject with some of the same contributors saying some of the same things. More to come I’m sure. | |
| RCA Phono Interconnect Under $400 An RCA to RCA cable will definitely carry audio ground. If the tonearm or TT need ground to the phono, any old wire will do. | |
| RCA Phono Interconnect Under $400 Do you need a cable with a DIN connector at one end and RCAs at the other, or is it RCA to RCA? Do you prefer silver wire or copper? One advisory: you want hot and ground to be carried on equal conductors, separate from the shield which connects t... | |
| Lowest priced MC thats better than a Premium MM? Well, many very decent LOMC cartridges have already been named, many of them made by Hana. Why not pick one and see for yourself if it’s a revelation? I’d only stay away from Denon DL103 variants and all HOMCs, not because those cannot possibly be... | |
| Seeking Legit Cartridge Expert? And here I thought the OP wanted to contact a person with expertise on phono cartridges, specifically in the $2K price range. I’d advise reviewing the dozens of threads that speak to the question, and then take the leap based on what opinions seem... | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges Yes, I am a big fan of MI cartridges both vintage and current versions. I don’t necessarily agree that the current crop are categorically superior to the very best of the vintage ones, like the B&O MMC1 or the Acutex 320 (two versions) and pro... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Hot tub(e)s are a rarity in New Hampshire for sure. | |
| Vinyl Records - Shipping, max/min temperatures I would imagine that records shipped across the US at this time of year are unlikely to be exposed to temperatures below 40 degrees F for an extended period of time. Certainly they are unlikely to reach a freezing point, whatever that is for viny... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum Aparently audiophilia provokes matricide, a most dangerous game. | |
| Moving Magnet Phono Cartridges How are you going to achieve Stanton 881S specs without an OEM stylus, which I think was a Stereohedron? | |
| Lowest priced MC thats better than a Premium MM? Says you. And you’re entitled to your opinion. But everyone has an opinion. | |
| Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats The Stein mat may be excellent, but I cannot help but to be amused and skeptical as a reaction to their ad copy, which contains the hyphenated word "Quantum-physically..." Come off it, lads. Enough is enough with the quantum. I'm sure Max Planck... | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD Not to mention more than $20,000 extra for 2 superfluous motors and the hint of better materials without explicit description of what that might be. | |
| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD I would buy the 2-motor Sikora for less than half the cost of the 4-motor Reference. Four motors is a ridiculous idea, to use Mijostyn bluntness. Belt creep and belt slippage are guaranteed. Not to mention motor noise and the issue of synchronicity. |
