| How to guarantee to lower noise- ground loops in your system If you run a dedicated 12 gauge (or lower) Romex (etc.) to your rig, and use a plastic box, then you already have an " Isolated dedicated ground." You only need an IG if you don’t have a dedicated run. | |
| Best cartridge for very old worn vinyl Indeed. Drop-lift-drop-lift onto a Magic Eraser after every side. | |
| How to guarantee to lower noise- ground loops in your system Are you saying that you ran a separate 12 guage ground wire in parallel with your 20amp 12 gauge Romex? Did you leave the Romex ground wire unconnected? (Because if you didn't you'd have a ground loop.) | |
| Best cartridge for very old worn vinyl I use an Audio Technica AT750SH for damaged vinyl and it sounds pretty quiet but doesn't sound as good as my Decapod Super Gold Paratrace. The SG is susceptible to surface noise. I also have a Garrott Brothers Gold with a new line contact which is... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Maurice Ravel/L'Orchestre De La Suisse Romande - Symphonie Espagnole/ Tzigane (Decca 1960) | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Look up Le Cid by Jules Massenet. "O Sovereign, O Judge, O Father." | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? The Hollywood Sound Stage Orchestra - My Fair Lady (Kent 1959 mono)Unbelievable recording. 60 years old and Billie Eilish is singing into a pillow by comparison. Near mint. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Grofé, Eugene Ormandy / The Philadelphia Orchestra - Grand Canyon Suite (Columbia Masterworks 1958)This is an amazing piece. Somewhat strident recording but the dynamics.. leap out of the seat material! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Years ago, I was humming a phrase from O Superman and came up from Penn Station in NYC in front of the Post Office. I had no idea at the time that the "neither snow nor rain..." was anything other than her lyric. Blew my mind. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Itzhak Perlman (With Bruno Canino) - Stravinsky Divertimento and Suite Italienne (Angel 1976) | |
| Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit @jay73 You took some flak there. No worries, dust off and regroup. I think it’s a good thread idea. You just didn’t state your case very well. I used have an Onkyo receiver and 5:1 speaker set up in a temporary lodging and it sounded pretty dreadf... | |
| Audio Technica and Technics Tonearm And, don't panic if you think it sounds a little thin and bright at the start. It'll take 10-20 hours to wear in until the frequency balance levels out. | |
| Sent Back the Pro-ject Turntable: What would be the best option in the $1800 range? @klimt Is this deja vu? Dude, you're still not getting it? A $200 cartridge on the GR will sound better than an $800 one on that Debut. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Laurie Anderson - Big Science (Warner 1972)Masterpiece. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will The Circle Be Unbroken (UA 1972)Shame it's worn. I gotta see if I can get a better copy. |
