| How often do you have to tuneup Linn Sondek LP12 I would NEVER buy another LP 12. Ever! From day one, I was never really happy with it. I used to use an old Dual 1219, idler driven table, which had fantastic dynamics and the most solid bass I had ever heard. The Linn doesn't do bass very well. A... | |
| advent eq Hello, the unit you are thinking of was an 'ambience delay unit'. It came out in the late 70's and was manufactured by Koss, not Advent. | |
| Garrard 401 vs. 301? If your 301 motor had more noise, then you had either a bad bearing, or an issue with the bearing alignment. Properly set up, a 301 motor is nearly dead silent, on the order of the drive motor in idler driven Dual models like the 1219/1229. Hush q... | |
| better the mc2500 for 2500.00 used I used to have an MÇ 2300. Fantastic amp. I don't understand what it is you don't like about the 2500. I have always felt it better to have a powerful clean amp, that (and I wouldn't want to be in the room if if could) can't be driven into distort... | |
| HK 730 Twin I remember Nelson Pass commenting on HK amplifiers. In fact, the Citation 12 was one of his first 'MOD' jobs. He spoke very highly of their design and sound. I have an audio buddy who uses a Citation 12, with the DQ 10's. Very nice system. His pre... | |
| HK 730 Twin I use a Harman Kardon Citation 16A amplifier. I have never heard better. Used to have a very elaborate Mac set up, but it couldn't compare with the spacious sound of the Citation. Personally, I always hated Harman Kardon products, (for no apparent... | |
| The Hub: Lenco revival fueled by AudiogoN members Nice turntable and wonderful comments. Lencos have always been well made tables. I took the same approach, but with a Dual 1229. Dual, like Lenco had amazing build quality. It won't be long before they too are all bought up, modified and gone. By ... | |
| choosing btwn vintage Dual 1019 vs 1209 turntable Any Dual from the 1229 down (idler drive )... should last a lifetime. The 1019 is a beauty. If your tech did his job right, it should be dead silent. The Shure is a good match for the tonearm. Enjoy! I agree.. life is good. Nice little preamp your... | |
| Most musical integrated amp you have heard? McIntosh MA-6100... outstanding. | |
| Need advise on MC252 vs MC2102 That is a very hard call. The MC252 has all the slam and dynamics of a Krell, but along with the brute power (does it ever run out?) it has finesse, which makes it a very sweet sounding amp. Not as laid back as the MC2102, but close. That being th... | |
| Who asked for this? Look at it this way, that 'BLANK' side is awesome for setting proper antiskate! | |
| Dual 1019 Cartridge placement If this uses the same drop in head shell as the 12 series, then the alignment jig used for over hand and centering is available right now on ebay. Search 'Dual Turntable" | |
| Records are getting noisy I have an audio buddy who had a similar problem and then he changed from an elliptical to a 'conical' stylus, which according to him is easier on the record groove then others. I must admit, the sound is wonderful and the noise is gone. It doesn't... | |
| McIntosh C27/C29 vs C26/C28 & MC2125 vs MC 2105 You're right! I had a C-29 (and a C-28 and C-26) and sold them. I really like the C-29's phone section. Best I've heard. I went through many upgrades (so I thought) and have regretted selling the C-29, and the MC-2300 that went with it. I too have... | |
| Number of records you have Wow, I see I have some catching up to do as I only have about 1000 LP's. |
