| What tonearm is recommended for the denon 103r I'm using the 103R in a cocobolo shell with the Thomas Schick arm with great success. The arm is also a bargain. | |
| Jeff Rowland Capri S2 Owners Manual Hi Guido,Thanks for your effort. I don't have a PM, my email is thomas2554@sbcglobal.net if that does not work, I will contact Jeff Rowland.Marty | |
| Jeff Rowland Preamps Butler, My hearing has also droped off through the years, I listen to classical music often and the lower treble region is where I notice treble to be slightly fuzzy or grainy, and sometimes even aggresive, in most recordings. The addition of the ... | |
| Jeff Rowland Preamps I just recently replaced my Consumate with the new Capri 2. This preamp is playing through the 625 amplifier. Big improvement in sound especially in the treble region. I am using the Parasound JC3 phono preamp playing through the Capri for my anal... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Ct0517I use a DC to DC converter to regulate the voltage. As battery voltage drops the speed changes, the DC to DC converter maintains 12 VDC within .02 volts from 15 VDC to 10 VDC. The Verdier regulation is not as accurate.Thanks for the thread i... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier Maril555 I removed the motor cover revieling the motor and circuit board, then I spliced into the wires coming out of the AC to DC converter and just before the circuit board. This enables you to still use the speed adjustment knobes. I don't know... | |
| After market Motor + Belt drive for Verdier I use braided fishing line, non teflon, 10 pound weight with the original motor mounted close to the tt. Big improvement over silk thread, available at Wal Mart. Also I use a motorcycle battery along with a small battery charger available at Sears... | |
| Is 7.1 better than 5.1 Go with the 5.1 and use the back channels to bi amplify your front speakers. The back channels have the same sound as the front. | |
| Basis Vector Setup-Am I missing anything? Audiojedi,I don't quite understand why you need washers to mount a Vector. I had a Vector 3 mounted on a Verdier turntable and had to extend the arm up high enough to align properly, I mounted a small wood block with carpet tape under the micrmete... | |
| MintLP arc protractor Take a thin piece of wood and measure 222mm, drive two small finishing nails through so the points are exposed. Measure from point to point to make sure the 222mm is correct. This will be as accurate as you can get by eye. | |
| MONO cartridges I have a Soundsmith SMMC1 mono version ($750) that is excellent. The cartridge has dual mono coils and plays both mono and stereo records, it can also be wired to play mono only. In stereo it is almost as good as my Miyajima Shilabe ($2800) as rev... | |
| Verdier Upgrade Kit I got the ball as an option with my Verdier, it is an expensive option now. I use the ball with the platter adjusted so it just touches the ball, I use a 4 pound Redpoint weight on the record. This is a noticable improvement. I have converted to b... | |
| LAST record preservative Rick,I have noticed a roll off in the high end after using Last, but after careful listening I think there is a very fine grain that is mistaken for extended high frequency responce that Last eliminates. Listen carefully. | |
| Silverline Sonata III & McIntosh MC275? I have a pair of Sonata Silverline III speakers for about 2 years. At first I had a pair of Cary 805 AV amps. The sound was excellent, I purchased these from Alan and he delivered them and helped me set them up. The Cary's were stolen and I replac... | |
| Power cable for Cary front end ? I used a Black Sand Cable Violet with a Cary 89L with good results and the price was only $329. |
