| RS A1 Labs rewire Sounds like the Acrotec would be just as hard to work with as the A-M stuff, given that it's 46 ga vs. 41 ga. At least it's copper, which melts at around 200 F. higher. | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire Hi Tessera--Did you end up doing this rewire? What wire did you use? | |
| RS A1 Labs rewire I just rewired mine yesterday with Discovery cable. I left the headshell leads as is, but I had broken the existing wire at the pivot, so needed a rewire. I was afraid this might foul the pivot, but have had no issues yet. And it's sounding pretty... | |
| Triplanar VII tonearm & Koetsu Jade Platinum cart. Interesting that JerryS just posted a review saying this wasn't all that great a combo.10audio review | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik So I tried the turntableneedles.com stylus for the LTD 750 (it's translucent blue, you may recall). I had some trouble--it sounding very garbled, but I kept removing and reseating it and it finally sounded better.It doesn't sound nearly as refined... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I got two replacement styli for the LTD 750, the elliptical one from turntableneedles (see above) and this one from JICO. Though the page shows a translucent blue stylus carrier and says the manufacturer is Empire, it turns out the carrier is opaq... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Any tips for getting the best out of the EDR9? I've got it on a red-dot armtube of my Morch UP-4--around 6g effective mass, which is appropriate according to the cartridgedb.com. I reduced the VTF to 1.3g, which did seem to help the tizziness I wa... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Oops. Here's the URL turntableneedles.comshows compatibility with "LTD750," which is how it appears on the side of the cart. The drop-down menu shows an elliptical option. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik For an aftermarket stylus for the 750LTD (LTD750), see: The drop-down menu shows an elliptical option. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I've got 10-15 hrs on my 750 LTD, and finding like you to be much better with surface noise than the EDR.9, also less tizzy in the highs. Still not broken in, of course, but bass is not as tight as the Shelter 901, tho just as deep. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Thanks for the reminder Ctm. I'm finding the EDR9 pretty sweet for the coin. Compared to the Shelter 901, there's more bass, tho what's there is a bit more wooly. Midrange compares very favorably, not much less articulate or engaging than the 901.... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Raul--I'm getting a new armtube tomorrow to mount the 901 in for more direct comparisons. Will let you know. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I just put an EDR9 on my Moerch (red dot)/Teres 265 into an Aqvox. Sounds great! Not as much bass as my Shelter 901, but the mids and highs sound just as smooth. That was with zero break-in, too. May have some stuff for sale soon. | |
| Aqvox 2CI Direct Input Actually it was a revelation--removing the Counterpoint SA-1000 from the system. Could crank the volume much higher without distortion, several veils removed, etc. Like I said above, tho, the AQVOX attenuators don't give you enough range. | |
| Aqvox 2CI Direct Input I run the AQVOX directly into my power amps, but they have volume controls (Decware SE84B monoblocks). In any case, the 14 dB doesn't provide enough attenuation for me. I read the same positive-feedback.com review Hdm mentions, but haven't been ab... |
