| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus My experience is the same as LewM. I used a usb microscope and the ME makes the stylus spotless, unlike liquids or Onzo. Having someone else repeat that result makes me even more confident. I guess the remaining question is the reality that ME can... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus MillerCarbon, love the Woody Allen reference. Lot of truth there.Mulveling, you are gutsy the way you use ME. Yes I use only the white one.So many people use the liquid but quite a few warn against it. The warnings usually seem to be theoretical t... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus I already own a onzow but stopped using it after I tested it against the Magic Eraser using a USB microscope and realize the onzow how did not clean the needle at all it just seemed to remove dust. The Magic Eraser however appears to clean the sty... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e Yes I read your review. Very helpful do you (or does anyone) have knowledge about the merits of the 950 vs the 850?Reminder that I use the Koetsu Rosewood Signature and the compliance is rated at around 8-9 (5 by Japanese specs @100hz which I und... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e Thanks noromance. One thing I want to be cautious of when changing tone arms is I don't want to significantly change the tonal balance. Right now it is about perfect and so I was hoping staying with jelco brand would give me a very similar total b... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e I bought a used Koetsu Rosewood Signature for $1400 that I use with my Jelco 750e (10") and old star.sapphire and it is pretty amazing sounding. I have trouble envisioning how it could improve, with the exception of perhaps less groove/record nois... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e Yes I have no doubt, basednon your and others' comments, that the 850 would be a great upgrade. I am just wondering how much I would be missing by not going all the way to a FR arm. I kinda feel like I might get 80% of the benefit by going to the ... | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e I haven't made a move on tonearms yet, and instead changed phono stages from my ear 834P to a Joule OPS-1. I had Rich at Signature Sound upgrade caps to Jupiter Copper/wax and he also improved power supply. My God what a fantastic component! I can... | |
| Best mellow sounding 12ax7 for Thor TA-1000 preamp I actually do have a manual I can scan and email if you still.want it. Old thread, I know. | |
| EAR 834p mods - specific mods, specific sounds? Thanks guys! I decided to hold on the mods until I try a Joule OPS-1 MkIV I just bought. If that isn't the ticket I will report back. | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e This is great feedback! Exactly what I had hoped for. Karl_Desch, what a break for me that you have experience with both of these with a Koetsu. Thanks so much. | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e Great thoughts. Thank you. I had not thought about the weight of the ard the Sota suspension! Good warning... | |
| Tube amp for Verity Audio Parsifal Encore? I meant to also ask about OTL amps. I have never owned one but not sure any would be considered "warm." I have read that Atma might be closer to rich balance than, say, Tenor. | |
| Amp for SF Amati Homage? Rogue Zeus or 180, Jadis Defy 7, Quicksilver 88 or 90 or M-135 The only thing I worry about with ARC or BAT is the possibility that the top early won't be warm enough. I really don't like amps that are referred to as neutral or detailed, in the typical HiFi vernacular. And i have a long-held prejudice against... | |
| Amp for SF Amati Homage? Rogue Zeus or 180, Jadis Defy 7, Quicksilver 88 or 90 or M-135 No sorry... I am looking for a tube power amp, not an integrated. |
