| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance Couldn't find any links to MyMatWhy the choice for Waynes Audio? It seems to have enough mass to couple the outer portion of a record to a platter. The centering disc looks to work well. The price is reasonable. The point of this exercise is to ge... | |
| If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps... @almarg Ah yes, I see what you are referencing. And Henrys other amps have nowhere as low input impedance, this one seems to be an outlier. It does indeed look like a SS preamp with low output impedance is in order. That changes things. I guess we... | |
| If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps... @almarg Are you sure about that number? In this review and comparison I found the input impeance of the amp listed at 100K. http://www.highfidelityreview.com/monarchy-audio-se-250-vs-h2o-audio-signature-100.html | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. The Avocet sounds like an interesting piece. I decided to go looking for one on line and see how its laid out. Unfortunately it does not seem to be configured in a way that makes it usable in a home audio environment. If there is a more user frien... | |
| Turntable Consolidation. Is it a Consideration? @rauliruegas I have considered the possibility of acquiring a 10R, but that will effectively wipe out my audio kitty. I changed careers a couple years back and no longer make the money I used to , and may never will again. So I have to be careful ... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! I enjoy the Ortofon cartridges a fair bit. Have an A90 on a Denon DP75 in VPI plinth and Acos GST 801 arm. There is a Cadenza Blue on a Technics SP10 MKII in obsidian plinth and EPA 250 arm. Have no problems with either cartridge into a Liberty Au... | |
| AT OC9/II vs AT OC9/III I have owned the OC9 II, III, and the 50ANV. The OC9 III has a noticeably different presentation than the II. The earlier cartridge has always been voiced to be a bit cool in the best of circumstances, and in the worst it can be bright and lean. T... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! @invictus005 I am pretty new around the forums, but been a member a long time. I also know that the Technics threads on many sites can get heated, as well as the whole BD/DD/Idler dust up. So I don't know if this is just lure dragging exercise, ... | |
| Needing some help figuring out my Panasonic sl-1000 Turntable @bratsvt Great story on finding a nice table. Sounds like you got great value for the dollar spent, and it if you find the right buyer you could make a nice profit for you audio kitty. I am down in the Olympia area and am fortunate enough to have... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @roberjerman Actually the Pioneer is not manufactured in Japan. It is a Chinese product from Hanapin built to spec for Pioneer. There is much debate on how close it would come to a genuine SL1200. According to the writing on the box it is "desig... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! @rauliruegas Eh I got an SAEC 407 with the SL1000 I bought last year. Its a nice enough arm. I bought the EPA 250 to complete the Technics package. I also have a couple of Acos GST 801 to fill out my vintage arms. FInally, have a 12 inch Riggle St... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! Should make the SAEC 407 ( i believe its a 23 as I can use its alignment template) worth a few more bucks. I am getting ready to pull it off and mount a Technics EPA 250. | |
| Considsidering Replacing a Technics SP 10 Mk II with a MK III. Can I Expect Improvements? @lewm This one is coming from a friend who did the chip replacement for the MN6042 chip. He has gone through the MK III’s he has from top to bottom. Thats why this one isn’t cheap, at least in terms of MK III prices. So yes its all up to spec. As ... | |
| Top 5 Tonearms Newer or Vintage Under 2500 That Will Beat anything above/below 2.5k? @chakster Hi! Actually I have an 801 I could use those extra parts for. Love the tone arm, and would like get them from you. Can you email me at Hoffman1984@gmx.com Thanks! | |
| Anyone Ever Figure Out Who Really Designs And Build the Kiseki Cartridges? Spoke with a guy who I use for retipping cartridges. When I asked him about what he has seen inside the first generation Kiseki cartridges, he says the internal architecture looks like both a Koetsu and a Supex. Since Van den Dungen was looking ... |
