| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? @lewm As an example. This MC2000 looks fine till you get to the last image. The close up shows pitting. I have been to Japan twice and the shops are nice, but I am not flying over to make the purchase of a cartridge. I am kind of dependent on the ... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? @lewm Well perhaps the Gods of Analog will bless me with their favor and a MC7500 in good condition will become available. I certainly will buy one. On Ebay the Japanese one is about $2300 or $2500 and hours are unknown. So I would plan for a trip... | |
| Classic Ortofon Cartridges: The MC2000 MK II or the MC3000 MK II? Thought I would add to this post. Still have the MC3000 MK II here, and use it on a Dynavector DV505 tone arm and Scheu Das Laufwerk No2 table. I also have acquired a MC2000 with T2000 transformer. Expert Stylus refurbished the cartridge and fitte... | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? I did just order a quad of them from the Ukraine. | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? Jesus. I don't care about what your opinion is of whatever state, or the country in general. All I did was ask a question about ordering a set of tubes for an amp. I don't CARE what you think about wherever you do, do not, or used to live. Give ... | |
| Think Its Possible To Order Tubes From the Ukraine? Thanks for all the responses fellows I will look into options for ordering. As far as the tubes I will have on hand I will have one set of used outputs and two spares. Not 2 sets of full tubes. Seems prudent to have another quad on hand. | |
| Buying New TV Need A Soundbar Recommendation Thanks all, I will be picking up my order Saturday. I needed to grab the TV quickly as there was only one of the G1 in the box left, as the G2 is now coming out. Works well for me as its a significant discount off of normal selling price. Of cours... | |
| 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... |
