| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Well Mark’s latest ruse definitely bought him enough time to slither off stage. There’s not one nice bone in his body. Kemper looks like he was played - at least I hope so, compared to the alternative. Don't be so naive next time. | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? 30 ohms is pretty high for a cartridge of that output. At 100 ohms loading you’ll lose around 2.28 dB of signal in theory (relative to infinite ohms "no loading"; and about 1.65 dB down relative to the recommended 400 ohms loading, again in theory... | |
| Counterfeit DL103? I think it is less likely a fake/counterfeit and more likely just borked in some way that causes severe aberrations in the output level (variable by frequency). As mentioned before, there is just no money in faking a 103 that actually looks convin... | |
| Cartridge alignment tool The Geo-Disc certainly adjusts for any arm at any P2S distance; it’s a true universal. It does this by requiring a 1st step of aligning the disc via line-of-sight’ing its raised ridge to point directly at the tonearm’s pivot. By that step, the 1-p... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogue Ares Magnum Will do! Happy with both of my systems as-is, so this is just experimentation for fun and to satisfy curiosity - while hoping for a potential sonic upgrade, of course. I won’t sell the Ares until I know for sure. I'm probably about 3 weeks out fro... | |
| FR64 cartridge suggestions The Cadenza Bronze matches superbly with the FR64fx. Different setups, (actually the FR64fx is on the much cheaper table) but I definitely think it sounds better there than on my Graham Phantom (and it sounds pretty damn good on the Phantom too) -... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogue Ares Magnum @jmolsberg (the @-mention is just not working for me, ugh),Thanks! The result of a big one-time all-out upgrade push starting last year. Since then I've replaced/upgraded literally everything in my 2 systems except a couple sets of cables, the Koe... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogue Ares Magnum UNCLE! I’ve read these glowing Herron phono stage reports for too damn many years now. I just called up Keith to place my order. Many thanks for your impressions, @jmolsberg! | |
| Cartridge alignment tool I have a Mint LP (SOTA/FR64fx), SMARTractor, GeoDisc, and Graham alignment jig (Phantom Supreme). Really, if you have (or can make) a good visual marker for the center-of-pivot on your tonearm, and are confident in your line-of-sight accuracy, the... | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogue Ares Magnum The Ares Magnum is still pretty damn impressive to me, even now that I've moved it down to my 2nd setup due to buying a VAC Renaissance SE Phono for the main. The Rogue has matched very nicely with Koetsu stones, Shelter Harmony & Accord, and ... | |
| Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling... Agree; if you're selling used gear for anything over 50% list then don't be shocked if it doesn't move. 10/10 open box, or 9/10 "5 hours use" isn't particularly impressive, either. Many items have to go beyond that 50% discount, depending on circu... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? So nothing changes again. See you guys again in another thread a few years from now I guess...Looking for any association with this guy is the 1st action we should take with any new product or dealer. I really can't believe Dan was even considerin... | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? @orpheus10 very clever to record onto reel! A good tape deck should probably be my next purchase. I’m also curious as to whether recording CDs onto reel tape can make them listenable, lol. | |
| Just an observation here, but???????? If you don’t have the ability to get an absolutely massive rack w/ isolation platform and place it on a solid enough floor, then I think a proper spring suspension is your salvation. For “cost-and-obstacles be damned” folks, the former is better.i... | |
| A song murdered by someone. @snook2 Welp, it's absolutely impossible to top that! |
