| THE GOLDEN AGE OF TURNTABLES! very interesting this. Doesn't it depend how you define it? Relative to time considering it in terms of the media that people bought it must have been the 70s' before CD came along. I think the late 70s' had the best technology relative to time as... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? There are good reasons to tin copper - prevents degradation to the cable. Interestingly enough electricity passes on the outside of a wire - so it makes sense for not letting it degrade.I bought some vertere interconnects - they were superb - not ... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 @lewm and @slimpikins5I actually have their original phone stage - the ps.02It's good to know that other people have heard the same things I did when I bought mine - perhaps more so than now with the later models.It's a crying shame that Whest do... | |
| FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS @edgeware lolthankfully not my only cartridge then | |
| FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS Whilst a bit 'off-topic' everyone has a DL103 - they can provide a benchmark.Does everyone have a Koetsu Redwood? A Shelter? a Lyra Titan? Let alone a Shun Mook..how does a person compare and track changes in a system? With a benchmark. I'm desper... | |
| FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS I love the total lack of agreement on this forum at times :)Both the FR64/FR7/SUT and the lightweight MM/modern MC Active stage may always be at loggerheads - my only way to resolve is to hear it.@chakster the one you mentioned does allow differen... | |
| FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS Hi @rauliruegas - emailed u last night.Like i said the 103 is a good workaday cartridge - it's very well made for the price. In addition they have good consistency - anyway the thread is about step-upsI've never tried a step-up and thought I'd tr... | |

| FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS @rauliruegas I am somewhat surprised you don't know that the Transfiguration Temper V is an absolute top flight MC cartridge which holds its own against anything out there today.The Shelter 501 Mk2 was recently re-tipped at Expert Vinyl and that's... | |
| FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS @rauliruegas I hear what you say, but on the other hand many say the FR7f including the likes of @jcarr have commended it's unique design. Frankly - life's too short to not try one out. It's part of the reason that I am going to have a couple of m... | |
| FIDELITY RESEARCH STEP-UP TRANSFORMERS Dear allCan i first of all say thank you for your responses - very informative so far.As it happens i have 2 phono stages. A Vendetta SCP2B which I intend to use with a Transfiguration Temper V directly - I wish it had more inputs - hey ho.My othe... | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. @unison77 - yes it was gigantic and tremendous - my bad - what a great name.I've bought from Russians and they are very honest and easy to deal with, likewise as @chakster said the russians have a lot of excellent technicians - they didn't lose t... | |
| Magico vs the world I've heard big Magicos absolutely sing at the end of Constellation and Soullution Monos. It was like an undernourished boxer when driven by Dartzeel monos. I think too many on this forum, and indeed reviewers have a 100 point/5 star system of the ... | |
| Not much talk about Yamaha turntables. Can i first say that nobody has a better name for a turntable than Yamaha:GT - Great Turntable 2000Secondly, correct me if i am wrong, i think they were developed with Micro Seiki.All said and done Why not go for a demo of the new yamaha stuff. Do... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine @ledoux - do you get speed drift still? have you checked speed variation while a record is being played - especially very heavy passages - there's a great demo of a JVC direct drive with 3 arms and a laser dot that simply doesn't move when the arm... |
