| Is sooloos worth the money? i think the Sooloos is a wonderful product. unfortunately it's biggest attribute, the interface, can now be had for much less. you would not get a full sized touch screen, but you would have a great touch screen remote.the Sooloos's biggest shortf... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Lew, the 12 inches of wood (cedar) in the Reed 'L' can only help the tonality. what i'm hearing reminds me of the Schroeder Ref SQ i had on the SP-10 Mk2, but with better dynamics. the Schroeder was probably a bit more lush (at the expense of some... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge further impressions of the Technics SP-10 Mk3--Reed 'L' 12" with the A90......as compared to the Garrard--Triplaner--A90. about 6-7 hours. dialed in more, running 2.27 grams and slightly up in the rear. the Technics/Reed has a wonderful tonality, ... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge OK, just mounted the 2nd Ortofon MC A90 cartridge (ser# 079) on the Dobbins Technics SP-10 Mk3 with Reed 'L' arm playing thru the Allnic H3000. previously i had briefly mounted my first A90 (ser# 008) so it's not the first time on the Technics. ri... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Steve,I will be visiting Mike Lavigne next month to try out a few new tricks for the 301.i'm really looking forward to another visit and further Garrard tweaks. i'll try to get the 2nd A90 broken in prior to the visit so we can really compare thin... | |

| Digital Audio Denmark convertors as far as optimization of digital playback, the Playback Designs MPS-5 does solve the clocking/jitter issue intertnally without reclocking devices. for some insight into how Playback Designs approaches this issue, follow this link to some answers ... | |
| 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... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge Lew,tomorrow i will have a used Ortofon Jubilee to play with for a little while. i'll install it on the Technics and see how it plays with the big (and bigger) boys.Lew, i agree we don't want to start an arguement. one gets into the cost of dimini... | |
| Ortofon MC A90 cartridge let me throw another log on the fire, so to speak.i do have a second A90 coming (hopefully) next week for the Dobbins Technics SP-10 Mk3 with the Reed arm. i did have my A90 on the Reed briefly 3 weeks ago and it did sound marvelous. we did not sp... | |
| 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 ... |
