| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Raul,to avoid further cluttering this thread with non-A90 advice, please e-mail me (or post on my system page) MM/MI recommendations which are currently "reasonably" purchasable which might represent this superior performance you are touting.thanks, | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Raul,when you say.....IMHO I think that the MUSIC run so easily through a MM cartridge due ( between other facts ) to its very high compliance characteristic on almost any MM cartridge.This very high compliance permit ( between other things like b... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Chris,last night i did install the used Ortofon Jubilee on the Technics/Reed and this morning jtinn (who is visiting me this weekend) and i dialed it in. i'd say that it's set-up level is 'fairly close', but not spot on perfect.there is a signific... | |

| Monaco TT with Halcyonics having heard the Halcyonics in my system (under a digital transport and under a preamp) my guess is that 'ANY' piece of audio gear will likely be improved with the decoupling of the Halcyonics. it is possible that the character of the sound could ... | |
| SS Amp to replace VAC 300.1 in a side-ways move? additional note on the darTZeel. if listeners have not heard a darTZeel NHB-102 with the new upgraded circuit boards (based in the new darTZeel 500 watt monoblocks to be introduced at CES) they have not heard what it can do. it's quite an upgrade ... | |

| UHA Reel to Reel/Tape Project opinions Where does one find a KOB 2-track Master Dub Tape?without intentions of sounding like a smart ass, one does not find a 2-track master dub of KOB, it finds you. in fairness to The Tape Project; they play by the rules and negotiate licensing agreeme... | |
| UHA Reel to Reel/Tape Project opinions Sam,let me say this in a politically correct way; your wife is definitely included in my invitation. i enjoyed our (you me, and your wife) conversations at RMAF and i envy you having an 'audiophile' wife.....and agree she is cool and knows her mus... | |
