| Whats on your turntable tonight? @tomic601 Good to know! Make sure you get the originals on discogs etc. rather than remastered copies. | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? @dhcod I have the same cartridge as you in my main table - a Decca London Super Gold with a Paratrace stylus - mounted in a 12" Jelco 850.Could you kindly describe the different tonearms you moved through and the differences wrought? | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? You won't be ripped off with the 850L. GEM Dandy have the best price. | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 The Micro Seiki sag. Caused by the rubber bending. Probably not the end of the world. But you know that from your research. Jelco and its OEM arms use rubber stems for the c/w. It may be for 2 reasons. 1. It's cheaper. 2. to absorb resonances. I r... | |
| Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp It's most likely been already covered but a watt is a watt whether it is sand or glass. All other factors will influence how amps work in their installations but a Watt is the same no matter where it comes from. | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 @gpdavis1 I use the 850L and it’s very good. I have heard the Sorane ZA12 at $2500 and it is excellent. But now you are up there. You could also check out the Groovemaster ll at around $1850. These arms are best with low compliance cartridges.What... | |
| Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one? So well worth the asking price. An opera singer friend swapped his LP12 for a WT when they came out. WT had less detail, greyer background, huge soundstage and very lush full sound. | |
| NOS tube alternatives for Herron VTSP 3A r02 Buy the "NOS" and the Herron set, as you outlined above, and listen and compare. It'll be fun and it's what you need to do. | |
| Platter wobble They've dropped the price by two bucks to $28 with free shipping! | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 That's my point. Most of those you mention are not here, nor are they buying hundreds of units from the current refurbishing companies it would seem from the turnaround and length of time they take to sell. So who are these prospective buyers of t... | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 I suppose SME are taking the 'if we can fool some of the people some of the time' route in marketing this little earner. | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 So Herb is being a little coy...but it looks like it is a Loricraft-style hollow plinth with squishy ball suspension. Still uncertain as to whether it is new manufacture or refurb. | |
| SME release new Garrard 301 I know. It's also looking likely that this "new" 301 is in fact, a Loricraft restore and not a newly engineered table. Will update when I hear more. | |
| Cambridge Audio Azur 740a paired with Dali Oberon 5's Nice room. Beginners are always obsessed with watts. If it sounds okay, it’s fine. Don’t push it to the point where the speakers sound ’uncomfortable’. Remember you need ten times the power to double the volume level to your ears. 100w amp should ... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Eddie Kirkland - It’s the Blues Man! (1961)Goat - CommuneNewer that sounds great up loud. |
