| MM phono preamp upgrade for $1000? For MM only, look at tube phono amps. Not too easy to find used in the US but the Croft RIAA R is sweet. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Incredible String Band – The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter (Elektra 1976 RE 1968) Masterpiece. I'm reading Dr. Rose Simpson's autobiography so expect more of this. | |
| 12AWG speaker wire The better the copper, the better the sound. Neotech UP-OCC from PartsConnexion. Make your own. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Thanks for the lowdown on the nitty-gritty! I like the way you used loading as an indication of refinement. The less loading you can get away with, the better. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @bkeske Welcome to the monobloc club! Looks good. Care to comment on SQ? | |
| The magic of outdoor listening I firmly believe no one should have to listen to my music outside of my home and where neighbors are concerned, the understanding should be mutual. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Incredible String Band – Changing Horses (Elektra 1969) | |
| Is my power chord going bad? Says more about the shielding on your phono cable. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Thanks for the update. Glad to hear there's an improvement. IIRC, you had single large open springs. Ever tried the Nobsound pods? | |
| Frank Kuzma is releasing a new arm! And there was me thinking there'd be a $3000 version of the 12" 4 Point. Always for the new rich. | |
| Why do folks spend more on electronics than on speakers? Source first. You can't retrieve what you've lost no matter what speaker you use. | |
| 2nd systems- who’s got one? Slightly off topic, but how many have a Virtual System posted? | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw don't hold back, man! How are they? Installed the Townshend Pods under each wall shelf. | |
| recommendation for phono pre amp and mc cartridge, around 1000$ each The jist of it is that less wire in the coil means lower output voltage but lighter mechanism hence more detail and faster response. Other factors notwithstanding. is there any advantage to a low output Mc compare to high, or mid? | |
| 5AR4 rectifier tube question Sure it does. All the signal does ultimately is to modulate the power supply DC. The music signal does not pass through the rectifier tube. |
