| Turntable Isolation Journey It all counts, everything. Isolating turntables from the environment is very difficult. You are trying to keep it from doing what it was designed to do and that is measure vibration. Concrete slabs are a great help with stability. Stability and is... | |
| Which MM, MI, or Hi output...Nagaoka 300/500, Clearaudio Maestro, Soundsmith Carmen The best high output cartridge I have ever used in my system is the Soundsmith Voice but it is above your budget. I think the best cartridge in your price range is the Goldring 1042 followed buy the Clearaudio. | |
| "ENUNCIATE GD IT" George Carlin ALSO Said: "POST LINKS GD IT" @elliottbnewcombjr , you've lost me Elliott. What did I miss? | |
| Gold Note PH-1000 Best Phono Preamp? @lewm , I certainly don't even when I play old 78s. Even though I have the capability to use any EQ curve ever made I never leave RIAA. That capability is totally lost on me. It is not on the shopping list. | |
| Looking for high power warming sounding tube amps @atmasphere And, which amp would that be? | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me My favorite back in the day was the B+O cartridge. I had the top of their line. Do not remember the model #. | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Everyone always forgets Goldring. The 1042 is an amazing cartridge for the money. It is the least expensive cartridge I know of with a Gyger S stylus. My other favorite HO cartridges are outside the OP's budget. | |
| like Jubilees only much smaller... like standmount or towers If you are talking about Klipsch Jubilees the short answer is no. To make it down that low in the midrange the horn has to be that large. Speakers do not have to be physically large to produce prodigious output if the power is available. I am a ... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? You have to know exactly what you like, something you learn after a lot of experience which usually means you are entitled to a few missteps. I like line source dipoles which limits the search dramatically. Add to that a penchant for ESLs and I am... | |
| Ground Control to Major Tom... I would try locating locating the system somewhere else in the house to see if this changes. My guess is you are acting like an antenna when you pick up the arm. The question is antenna for what? | |
| Ground Control to Major Tom... When you pick up the tonearm are you holding onto anything else, with your other arm maybe? Is there any hum at all when you are not touching the arm. Is this new? If so what else changed? | |
| Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k You need to put sound absorption at as many first reflection sites as you can. Find them using the mirror method. Sit in your listening position and have someone move along the walls holding a mirror flat against the walls. When you see the reflec... | |
| Focal’s heart grew three sizes that day @mofojo , It's even cooler (hotter?) now that my new Atma-Sphere MA 2s are operational. I'll have a picture up soon. Not only do I use room (really speaker) correction at all times but my phono stage is sent directly to a commercial ADC/DAC/rout... | |
| Dual speaker system That is a silly proposition. Good systems play everything well. If they can't they are not good systems. One great pair of speakers is always better than two mediocre ones. Same for amps. @glennewdick We use to run stacked Quads all the time. T... |
