| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? @chakster , If I remember well ''our Aussie'' stated to considerFR-64 S a bargain. I consider SP 10,mk2 as the best buy ever.The fact , while curious, that some spend $4000 for the plinthfor this TT is a kind of praise for the ''naked thing''. | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? I am very fond about American expression ''overkill''. Sometimesuch an expression can explain more then a whole sentence.Well assume 71dB amplification by whatever phono-pre. For,say,a cart with 0.4 mV output one can say that 71dB is overkill.The ... | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? Thanks roberjerman but at school I got (much) higher grades. | |
| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? My advice is consistent with chakster's but based on differentarguments. I own two pretty expensive phono-pres: Basis Exclusiveand Klyne 7PX3,5. Both have different amplification stages withintention to use the lowest possible with the given cartr... | |
| Moving from MM to MC Moving to MC for cheap? My (much) younger (Slavic) brotherchakster is learning very fast. His (Raul's) ''learning curve'' must be very high. Besides his memory is such that he even rememberthat Denon ever produced an MM cart. Well he also mention... | |
| Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC @roberjerman, I use my Denon in combo with Klyne 7PX3.5 .Klyne is considered as one of the best phono-amplifiers butit has not sufficient amplification for (very) low output carts.My choice for Denon was not only based on its quality butalso becau... | |
| High End Reproduction is back Dear Lew, I certainly understand your interest in speakers. To understand this amazement about Ribbon speakers incombination with ''ordinary'' kind one need to investigate the work of Prof. Jurgen Scheuring designer of Ascendo series of speakers w... | |
| High End Reproduction is back Dear Syntax, you should know that I don't need introduction toMr. Brakemeier. But, if I understand your contribution well,the MM and TT in question are imported in Germany while ourfriend Daniel lives in Bavaria. So those are not produced byour fr... | |
| Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC @musky1963 , Sorry I wrongly understood your ''I have oneon order''. | |
| High End Reproduction is back Dear Syntax, Who is ''he'' by this 1000 euro MM cartridge andthis remarkable ''aluminum Micro Seiki 5000''? Other referenceto the TT and MM cart would be also appreciated. | |
| Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC @musky1963 , This is the wrong sequence. The first questionshould be answered first and then , eventual, order the thing.There are no ''best SUT's''. But there are adequate for yoursituation. | |
| High End Reproduction is back Thanks Syntax you solved my dilemma. For the Apolyt I wouldneed a bigger home but to get Apolyt I would need to sell mypresent home. I already own FR-64s so the ''only'' components Ineed to buy is this ''new'' TT and MM cart. | |
| Phono for Ikeda 9TT LOMC ''If it's possible I dont want a step up...'' . Well what is possiblewill depend from your means. Ikeda 9 TT cost about $4000.If you need $15000 for a ''suitable'' phono-pre you can graspthe problem. I use Denon AU-S1 which I got for 1000 euro(re... | |
| who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ? Dear chakster, From Peter's story you can deduce that SoundSmithwas not able to change the stylus (only) in his diamond cantilever.So you can probably get the same boron/ stylus combo for $450as he deed by SoundSmith. Assuming of course that you n... | |
| who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ? Dear chakster, My point was that those ''glued together'' plastic oracrylic bodies are not reparable. Peter's story is different becausefor cantilever/stylus exchange only the cover above the cantileverneed to be cut. This will provide sufficient ... |
