| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) The Vessel blurb is a turn off: The creative brief for The Vessel™ cartridge series is simple: "Allow the artist to express his music with its amalgam of contradiction as it is elevates and transcends with the natural and artificial interpretat... | |
| Best turntable and arm under 10k? You might also look at professional Garrard re-builders to supply you with a refurb or rebuilt unit. There is a reason many vinyl lovers choose these idler drive machines. Classic Turntable Company, AudioGrail, Artisan Fidelity etc. | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question I used a 12" Jelco 750L for years with excellent results. Now an 12" 850L with even better sound. I had a Decca SG in an Ittok once and it wasn't a good match. It would jump out of the groove sometimes and break up on Zamfir's pan flute. | |
| Decca London Super Gold Compatibility Question Try tracking at 1.65g.Use a heavier headshell. What issue are you having? | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop Hats off to JP Jones at Fidelis Analog. Reminds me of when I was a tech in the 80s and finding the elusive crack always made my day! | |
| 3k Budget for Cartridge, Phono-Pre, and Cables - Recommendations Please @stereo5 Actually my first thought. The Scout is a bit of a sideways move at best, soundwise. | |
| Fidelity Research 64s vs Jelco SA-750e You could also look at the Jelco 850 if you can fit a 9" arm on it. Lots better than the 750. | |
| How much are these tubes worth? Don't smudge the paint on the tubes! | |
| Threat of fire from audio equipment Reminds me of a 1KW isolation transformer in the TV repair workshop where I worked which went bad. It was mounted on the wooden partition and the really loud vibration and plume of smoke were astonishing. | |
| 3k Budget for Cartridge, Phono-Pre, and Cables - Recommendations Please I don't think the Blackbird is a safe choice. Easily damaged. Ortofon 2M Black or Nagaoka MP500. MM over MC for him in case there are noise issues. | |
| Am I asking too much? The small filter caps won't help. The heater voltage hypothesis is not relevant in this case. The user is hearing quiescent current flowing through the electronics. This is normal. | |
| I want to find these specific knobs What about black? | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 SPU Silver sounds thin and spluttery on much of the pipe blowing, especially in the higher frequencies. | |
| Hear my Cartridges....🎶 150 is clearer with more insight and I prefer it. There is something sweet and SPU Gold about the 180 though. |
