| MP150 or MP200 Chakster, whether the Sony or the Nagaoka cartridge would be better would depend on the tonearm. For medium to high mass arms the Nagaoka would be the better choice. If you had a really light arm then perhaps the Sony might be better. The Nagaoka ... | |
| Cartridge Opinions - Sorry First of all Raul, I did not denigrate the SME arm. It was a great arm in it's day. It is not as good as some others by virtue of it's geometry. I generally reserve denigration for uni pivot arms. I hate to say this but that turntable system? is a... | |
| shifting soundstage> pfrank, yes. Putting the speakers closer together will give you a slightly wider sweet spot as will moving the listening position farther away from the speakers. If a system does not have a sweet spot it is actually defective in some way. The more... | |
| Hearing loss and HiFi pipebro, you won't want to wear your hearing aids while listening to music. They don't sound that hot for music. It is just a mater of volume and EQ. The best way to go is to get a DEQX unit, Anthem STR or Trinnov Amethyst. These units not only pr... | |
| Newbie help - Building a system from scratch Ok Swissified, you have a large room and you want to use a tube amp on a budget listening to rowdy music. You are going to need very efficient Loudspeakers. I already know what you think too big is. Speakers always come first. Klipsch Heresy's sh... | |
| MP150 or MP200 1+++ MP500:) Very interesting system by the way. I like it! | |

| shifting soundstage> Some discs do that on purpose. Hendrix use to love bouncing between channels. The more likely explanation is that you have a very narrow sweet spot and you are moving your head. That will make instruments wander. For the perfect image you have to... | |
| Burn in discs vs. music for new speakers Just play them and enjoy the music. IMHO burn in discs are a rather silly notion and a waste of energy. Just more mythology. Put on the Grateful Dead's Infrared Roses, turn up the volume, sit back and relax. By the time that disc is finished the e... | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Atmasphere, in some cases it might be because they work better:) | |
| Honest question about cartridge vs. turntable performance. Faulty logic Chakster. Cutting a record and playing one back are not the same. Cutting requires more torque and consequently is more difficult to control. The cutting head is powered and is easily able to overcome any magnetic fields near by. Play... | |
| Phono Preamp. With transformer or fully active This discussion is beyond my pay grade.I do believe that whatever the transformer it is dependent on the performance of the phono amp it is attached too. I have installed Sowter transformers ( they have several units designed for various cartridge... | |
| Proteus compared to MSL ultra eminent ex Yes, the company has folded. Arsh, I think edgewear was on to something with the A95. The Windfeld Ti is the A95 in a body. It has a 7 ohm impedance and 0.2 mv output.This is a great cartridge. It is a fine tracker and is as neutral as they get.No... | |
| Looking for tonearm inspiration Rauliruegas, the SME V was a landmark tonearm for sure and there is a lot to recommend it. My only grip with it is the location of the counter weight. It is so low that if you draw a line from the center of the counter weights mass through the ver... |
