| Need cartridge advice for Philips turntable The Grado Prestige Blue is a high compliance cartridge at 20 um/mN and will do just fine in that arm. | |
| Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable Ok Lalitk, The Koetsu I would recommend strongly against. It really works best in the heaviest of arms and even so it is not a great tracker. You could add weight to your arm but....The Etsuro is not the greatest tracker at 70um. The Windfeld Ti i... | |
| Springs under turntable Your tympanic membrane moves immediately in conjunction with the pressure front created by whatever frequency of sound you care to talk about including bass. This movement occurs immediately and does not wait for a full wavelength to pass. But, it... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Seventies, no argument from me except there is something special about the LP. Somehow it blends with the human psyche. I do not think it will disappear so fast. Eventually maybe as supplies of oil dry up.Cleeds, that is exactly what I mean and my... | |
| Cartridge suggestions for SME Turntable I absolutely second the Windfeld Ti. In that price range there is no better cartridge and it is hard to justify spending more money than this. The Windfeld Ti is one of the best tracking cartridges made and it is superbly neutral not emphasizing a... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux There is more to vinyl than just the sound. There is the collection and handling of records. There is no way to duplicate this digitally even if you can duplicate the sound digitally. Those of you who do not think you can have obviously not tried ... | |
| Need cartridge advice for Philips turntable I'm not sure why Grado would say that. It looks like it has a standard 1/2" mount. They may have been thinking of a different turntable. Check your current cartridge. Measure the distance between the mounting holes. Should be 1/2". If so you can u... | |
| Family Problems... Hapafoto, the least expensive way to get a working cartridge is to send it to Soundsmith who can repair and re tip it. You can't be 100% sure of what it will sound like after. The problem is that the cartridge has a conical shaped cantilever which... | |
| Cartridge recommendation please... 60decibels at $300 you best stick with MM or MI cartridges. There is simply much more value in them. High output MC cartridges have very high effective mass due to the large coils they have to use to get the output up. The resonance peak can fall ... | |
| I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I? Duke, I think you explained it better than I could. I almost bought the Snells. I think I wet my pants the first time I heard them. I wound up buying the Sound Labs 845 immediate spiritual ancestor We are all stuck using residential size rooms. Ch... | |

| Best method to connect subwoofer to amp Scott, I am also in the Northeast. If you are over 65 just keep your distance from others. Skip the concerts and those late nights at the bar for now. This is all going to blow over. I think the main attraction here is they way this is permanently... | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? Allyndrew, I think you are assuming a surround system which most of us do not like. I do have many Blu ray discs that sound great in just stereo PCM. But I think the visuals add a lot to it. For some psychological reason seeing the band makes it s... | |
| why a 75 dollar blue ray smokes all 2k CD players and any turntable??? Roxy, in short yes but I am looking for a joint opinion that is very consistent. For instance the JC 1 is alway described as "effortless" which it certainly is. I am also talking about professional reviewers not an individual lay person. I would n... | |
| vinyl versus digital redux Cleeds there is additional dynamic compression that takes place during the process of cutting a record. The noise floor of digital is much lower.As far as accuracy and low distortion is concerned high resolution digital is far superior. This does ... |
