| "HELP" tired Koetsu I have one of the very first Well Tempered Labs tables with their arm on it that I have had since my last gig in the audio business. | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu I have to say that I loved my SME III back in those days. I had the EMT nude mounted into the detachable arm wand. (it came in a big clunky head shell, and was the only way to use it with the III) | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu It may as well cost $150,000! I think that cartridges have gone insane in price for the most part.(other than some that we have talked about) The Supex never grabbed me like the Fidelity Research or the Dennon 103D did.Those wre my favorites back ... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu The Grado seemed to me to exagerate surface noise. It drove me nuts and I sold it. I did like the tonal balance and the rest of the sound qualities. Now I seem to have lost my groove, so to speak. | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Twl, isn't that what Sumiko was trying to do with the Celebration? That thing LOOKS like an old Supex to me anyway.And as far as the "old" thing I had buddies that were into Decca's if that dates me!I have an old Ortofon SPU/GT, including the orig... | |
| Has anyone listened to Aria Audio amps? That made me laugh out loud! I do get it! | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Perhaps I have drawn some conclusions about stylus shape and step up devices over my 30 years of fooling with tables and the related parifinalia. I need to find out more. What is your take on the wood Grado's Twl, just to get a reference point tha... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Twl, that is the very thing I liked about the EMT is that it had a very coherent sound from top to bottom and didn't sound like Hi Fi. You know anything about the XYZ's? I am wondering about the new Sumiko Blackbird too? I still may ditch the whol... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Ecclectique, have you seen the price of a new Koetsu Rosewood Signature? | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Twl, I have also liked the cartridges from Japan myself. I was a big fan of the FR you mentioned and the old Dennon 103D, I owned a Shinnon Red Boron Improved(not perfect but fun), loved the Talasman Virtuoso Boron. Never could affort the Koetsu t... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Moncrief is not just any "toe tapping cretin".(I just couldn't help myself, stealing a line from his Well Tempered Lab review back in about 86)He is one of the only reviewers with any credibility left. I never took him for one to admire the qualit... | |
| Anyone know anything about the Magic Diamond Blue? Twl, what is your take on elliptical diamonds? | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu All I know is that it is "medium" output, wich I take to mean somewhere around 1mV. The price is $5500 and up(if you have to ask you can't afford it, like buying a helecopter) for Signature models. I understand that the stylus shape is something n... | |
| "HELP" tired Koetsu Ecclectique, you may want to check into the Magic Diamond Blue. I hear rumors that is is THE thing to own. No one here seems to have anything to say about it though. It is spendy! I have never seen one let alone listened to it though. | |
| Is an eight sided oval room acoustically correct? Rives, I have some Swiss Felco's(pruners) but I guess I like the jungle effect and more leaves = more diffusion, right? Just for fun, what do you think of that new Shakti "hat rack". That is a bizare looking contraption. I can imagine a room all d... |
