| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation After work I decided to call over to Video Only and see what they sell a 65" LG G1 OLED for. They were having a close out for the upcoming model so I got So I got one for $1699 rather than the $2399 at other places. That works for me. They bundles... | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation Thanks for all the responses, I appreciate all of them and did not intend to be snippy. I was at work and posting between tasks, so the writing style gets very direct and blunt as I have short blocks of time available. The LG recommendation and ... | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation @grinnell The point of the post is that this is not a high performance installation in terms of sound. The wife is NOT going to use a HT system and doesn't want a bunch of speakers in that room. So an AVR and 5.1 or 7.1 system is not going to hap... | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation No, and don’t be an ass. My current screen is a 50" 2008 Panasonic 1080P plasma, running onboard speakers. I am not a big video person, I do 2 channel audio. This is mostly for the wife and our nightly TV watching, we like Star Trek series and oth... | |
| Sota Sapphire VI Turntables with Origin Live tonearm I am fortunate enough to own a Cosmos Eclipse in bloodwood, has the vacuum option, the magnetic bearing, and the controller package. I put a SME V on it and have a Transfiguration Audio Proteus. It is a fine table, and is remarkably balanced sound... | |
| Koetsu Urushi stylus shape Expert Stylus was the go to rebuilder for Koetsu cartridges in Europe during the transition time between the elder and son. Seems like the best choice for service if not using the factory rebuilder. | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today @lewm That certainly is encouraging. Please do update us with these listening sessions, as I have great interest in your experiences. So far I truly enjoy the cartridge, and would happily acquire another. | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today If i am able to acquire another one of these MC2000 I wonder about the possibility of running it on a SME V arm. Arm mass is between 10 and 11 grams as I understand, and it seems like the compliance is 24 dyne at 10 Hz. If the arm comes in at 10.5... | |
| MM or HO MC Cartridge Choice-Input Please While Linn is a company that elicits strong emotions from people in this hobby, I think there is a lot of value in their analog hierarchy. Table is the cornerstone of the analog system, then tone arm, and finally cartridge. I would add a corollary... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today @lewm Yes the midrange has a purity that is exquisite! I have decided I want another so that I have a spare when one goes in for service. These are indeed special. Do you suppose it's possible to run the MC2000 on a SME V? The V is reported be... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Have spent some time listening to the MC2000 for awhile now. Just a few things to note. The upper registers are as transparent and detailed without being harsh or grainy, this is the best I have heard to date from analog. Granted my experience wit... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today @nandric Yes that is the box I am referring to. I don't think I can be any clearer, its ALL the OEM packaging that was provided when you bought it new. I even have the lapel pin. The only item I do not have is the Ortofon RCA cables that were pr... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today @nandric By box I mean the entire OEM packaging for the cartridge. The outer box, the inner hinged and velvet lined box....basically everything you would get with the new purchase of the cartridge that owners seem to lose over the years. I als... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today @nandric I am not a vintageophile, but I certainly have a respect for the classic components. The MC2000 is one of them. When I was in college I worked part time in an audio store and the owner was a huge MC2000 fan. I could never afford one, but ... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today @nandric Oh Mr. Hodgson had something to say about that, I just did not figure it was relevant to a post about the repair. He did try to caution me about prceeding with a service. At the time I had not acquired the T2000 transformer. I am very g... |
