| Stand out phono stages Dhcod, Look first for your orientation at (www) audio-markt.de, second row by ASR . There are always ASR listings there in contradistinction to ebay.de. Any Emitter II from 2005 on will do. The batteries you can get everywhere. Idem for the Basis ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Sony XL 88 is the cheaper version of the XL 88 D by which the cantilever and stylus were made from one piece of diamond. According to Thuchan this one was the most expensive cart in the 80is in Germany: 5000 DM. My quess is that the Volkswagen... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? No idea about the others but I am 'spoiled' with the MM carts in the sense that any cart whatever above, say, $400 looks to me as 'irresponsible' expensive. Two years ago Ithought that below $ 4000 there were no carts to be proud off. But then com... | |
| Is tonearm bias a compromise, maybe a myth? And from the female opera singers Callas is the best also for the antiskate adj. Even those who hate female opera singers need to endure only about 4 cm of the inside groove. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raise our hat for Raul. We all are of course thankful toRaul for his lead in the MM adventure. But all of us whoparticipated from the start in this thread become used to his contributions and regard them probable as 'normal'. I become aware of the... | |
| Help me pick a great phono cable Goheelz, Your question is actually tricky because only someof us are familiar with the McIntosh 2300 preamp. This isobvious from the advice's you got. Everybody is 'promoting'his own 'darling'. But Dover saved you at least $800. If you can solder ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew, If you look at A'gon market you can see that sellers ask the buyers to add 4% by paypal payment. By ebay this is not allowed ; if one ask those 4% his listingwill be removed. Actually the seller need to pay ebay 8%fees if his item is sol... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew, Fleib is convinced that the US market is the largest but I am convinced that Germany is the richest country in the world. 9 from 10 items that I buy I buyin Germany. But the Germans hate the paypal fees so oneneed to pay via bank transfe... | |
| Looking for a $500 or so phono preamp -- BC23 ? Redglobe, I got the Jasmine Lp- 2 two days ago and used atpresent only the MC input. The MC gain is 70 dB so no problem at all for my LOMC with 0,2 mV (Genesis 1000). The phono-pre is well made while the Power supply is not producing any heat so I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew, what I have stated is not my 'analysis' but myexperience. I assume that the so called 'ebay rules' applyeverywhere. Paypal is not an 'oxymoron' as you think because we need to keep our account there. Ie the paypalhas control of our money... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, ebay 'protection' is actually paypal protection. Paypal blocks the payment for 21 days to give the buyer time for eventual complaint. During this time the seller can't dispose of this money. But when the buyer refuse to pay the only th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, I am also not able to understand such behaviourbut I think that the reason is 'prejudice' rather than stupidity. Both may look a like but are different. I observed such behaviour in particular by Americans, Germans and Britons. All thos... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Dear Frogman, Sorry I missed your point. Well the optimistamong us may think to be able to find the 'sweet spot' inboth 'fields' of their activity. A skeptic however willprobable state that one kind can fake or pretend while the other together wit... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Dear Essential..., I am really glad for Kisawyer. He alsogot the pictures of my Rabco spares so he can complete hisRabco. I hope however that David invented some other kindof armwand than those balsa wood kinds. Some Aussie proved(?) that this obs... | |
| Rabco SL-8E Tone Arm Dear Lew, You are obviously in 'logical' trouble except ifHerb Papier had an alias : David Shreve. I now recollect that the Rabco story started before 70is.Back then my scholarship was $250 per month while the Rabcoprice was the 'astronomical' $10... |
