| Which headshell to use? BTW...welcome! Nice vintage system!! | |
| Which headshell to use? I have a box full of different headshells. My favorite is the Orsonic. Audioquest made a version of this also, (actually it just had their name on it).These went out of production for a long time, but have recently come back. 2Juki on E-Bay sells ... | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Phase...yeah, it's a great album. How could you go wrong with guest players like: Jackson Browne, Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Glenn Frey, Don Henley, Phil Everly, David Lindley, Bonnie Raitt, J.D. Souther and songs like: "Frank and Jesse Jam... | |
| Agree or disagree with the following statement. Statement: "If you have never listened to any particular component, you can't have an opinion on how it sounds."You can always have an opinion, but it you haven't heard the specific component in question, your opinion is just that...an opinion. No... | |
| Transrotor turntables The table I've always lusted after is the Transrotor DarkStar Reference with a Kuzma 4Point arm. If and when I ever get the funds, that will probably be my last expensive table. | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of "This is, indeed, a great record--one of my favs--but it's not actually his first. That would be Wanted Dead or Alive from 1969, re-released on Pickwick in 1979, which is when I found it. A bit rough in places, but one can readily hear the artist ... | |
| Diana Krall, Wallflower I quit buying Diana Krall albums because I already have a ton of her stuff on both CD and vinyl. They all kinda start to blur into each other. Not a lot of diversity. However, I did really like this one. I listened to it on Tidal a couple of times. | |
| Your favorite LP nobody has ever heard of Mine would be the first Warren Zevon LP, "Warren Zevon". His debut album is wonderful. | |
| Rega arm vs Sumiko "I never noticed the degrade that a detachable headshell supposedly causes."Agreed. I've owned hundreds of arms and a lot of them had detachable headshells. I never noticed any degradation either. | |
| Hurst motor rumble? I know that VPI is now using a custom made 600rpm motor. Still from Hurst, but not available from Hurst directly as a replacement, you have to order it from VPI. I've read that it is supposeably better, (not sure in what regards). You could contac... | |
| Rega arm vs Sumiko I really like the MMT arm. I've owned many of them. I've also owned a lot of the Regas. If you got the Rega upgraded with new wiring, (Incognito) and a new counterweight, (Groove Tracer) it would be close with the Rega maybe a little better. These... | |
| Hurst motor rumble? I'm confused. Why would you even "drop the stylus onto a stationary object next to the platter"? Unless you are cleaning the stylus and if you are you should mute the preamp.Then you say to perform the test "you need deep bass". So are you actuall... | |
| What could have gone wrong? If you have any other source; cd player, music streamer, even a cassette deck or tuner would help you determine if the source is the problem or if it's the amp or preamp.It sounds like you might have a tube(s) that went down. | |
| Cartridge impedance loading question Stringreen...the OP's Lehmann has dip switches inside. He could put the cover back on, but leave the screws off until he found the right setting. I think even you could handle that? :-) | |
| Cartridge impedance loading question I'd start with the 100 ohm setting, but the settings are pretty easy to switch. Try them all and see what sounds better. |
