| What's the best unipivot to arm ever made? Grace 704/714. While not wildly popular in their day, they perform admirably with modern cartridges, both MM and MC and were well ahead of their time. | |
| Speaker stand height PSB Speakers with the tweeter under the midrange/woofer are designed in combination with their crossovers to beam the sound slightly upwards, so there is not a big difference in sound when you are standing or sitting. That is just one of Paul Bart... | |
| Frustrated with the sound of my system Switch to vinyl and your troubles will go away. Your description is exactly how I hear CDs. I would also be suspect of your kit speaker and would try to borrow something else just to see if that is an issue. | |
| Floorstanding speakers vs. Standmount speakers&sub you need to specify your price range. There are many stand mount speakers that fit your descripton, but many are quite expensive. think Harbeth, Spendor, Sonus Faber. An advantage of stand mount is that less money is spent on the speaker box and t... | |
| speakers for a small room If you mean is it ok to put one speaker on each side of the door opening, yes, that is fine. Not ideal, but ok | |
| seek mc cart recommendation for Townshend Rock III I am currently using a Ortofon Kontrapunkt B which is the precursor cartridge to the Cadenza and find it to be very quiet in the grooves, nicely warm and dynamic and with good detail. I also used to own a Rock III and found that you could use many... | |
| Looking to get back into Vinyl. I use a PS Audio GCPH and an Ortofon Black and both are stellar performers for the price you can buy them for. Pick up a used Sota Star or Sapphire or VPI HW19 mkIV with a Sumiko MMT arm or SME 309 and you will be in vinyl heaven.The VPI classic i... | |
| Sota Sapphire IV -- thoughts? The Sapphire is a definite upgrade from your Denon and is only missing the vacuum platter of the higher models. I have owned many Sotas and they have all been stone reliable and easy to use and set up. And once set up they stay that way. | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! I have used the SME on Sota Sapphire, Star and Cosmos with uniformly great results. When Sota was in its early stages, they often bundled their tables with an SME | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! Try a Sumiko Celebration II. Wood body and rich sound. Not as tubby on the bass as a Koetsu, or as expensive. | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ Diggory,Since Simaudio offers a choice of faceplates for their equipment, either black or polished aluminum, I would think they would have had a stock of each to put on as orders came in. Or they may have just decided to build a certain number of ... | |
| Analog is the new pink One issue I see is the physical space required for vinyl, not just the turntable, but the albums as well. Given a younger persons more limited financial resources, they are less likely to live in a house alone. And vinyl cant be played in the car.... | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ One question that comes up is, first, how many extras were made beyond those used for production and then, how many of those were used to replace damaged ones, or for people like me who want to change face plates. I would hope there werent many da... | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ Ketchup,I would hope that if I could have used the new one, Simaudio would have said so. Whatever, its not that important to me looks wise, just surprised, thats all. | |
| Simaudio doesnt stock parts for discontinued produ I guess I stand corrected. Looks like my experience is not unexpected and acceptable in this industry. |
