| Recommend an MC Cartridge for my TT15S1 and... The arm may be too low a mass for the Denon. Look at Benz Glider SL or Audio Technica line of MCs. The OC9 is affordable with the ART 7 and 9 better with increasing cost. | |
| Cartridge for a Pioneer PL 630? But they are not less than $200. A lot more and not available anymore except on eBay. The Nag is solid and cheap. | |
| Allow myself to introduce...myself Thanks @oregonpapa The thing is it does NOT sound mellow, laid back and "tubey". It’s pinpoint, neutral, and crystal clear with good resolution and unbelievable bass (for Quad 57s) | |
| Allow myself to introduce...myself Check out my rig in Virtual Systems. Click on my name and click Details to get an idea of the more frugal route to great sound. | |
| Popping when kids are jumping What is popping? Do you mean the woofer is making large excursions at a low frequency? Vibrations are being picked up by the tubes in your DAC. To test, remove DAC and switch to other source when your issue are in repetitive vertical motion. | |
| Looking for not too expensive Turntable SP10 is not inexpensive. Lenco L75 | |
| Slovakia JJ ECC 802 and 803 tubes. Shuguang 12AX7LS black tubes from Grant Fidelity are superb. Not cheap. Good from the start, they need about 20 hours to sound right and improve up to 50 hours. I think they outshine Telefunkens. | |
| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? Chakster makes valid points. Adding a $150 cable to compensate for a $100 cartridge is daft. That is why I suggested a $10 cable of known quantity. | |
| Cartridge for a Pioneer PL 630? Nagaoka MP110. | |
| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? As I said above MF amps tend to be a bit laid back. I just read the Stereophile review and indeed, they corroborate what I said. Quote: "but the slightly rich bass guitar and the laid-back presentation rendered the music a tad too relaxed."Read mo... | |
| Ortofon Red/Pro-ject Carbon Debut combination; rolled off hi-frequencies. Solutions? @reubent Cable - I replace the stock interconnect cable with an Audio Sensibility Impact SE phono cable. Immediately better.....I compared this cable with the Belkin I suggested above. The Belkin blows it away with far greater treble. If you or th... | |
| Done buying new vinyl @alphajet7 Feel free to plug away. Many already do, and we don't want you to fade away! For the record (!), I do buy quite a bit of new vinyl mostly to support artists whose music I listen to on YouTube (which I could not live without.) | |
| System Dissatisfaction - My Own Fault https://www.amazon.com/Krell-Vanguard-Integrated-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B00TUXG9TO $4500 new. One left. And keep the wife. | |
| Done buying new vinyl @slaw That old dialectic! Jazz goes back, Aldous stays. | |
