| Phono (0.1- 0.22mV+) or step up for LOMC? The EAR uses tubes for MM and step up transformers (SUT) internally for MC. The GNs use solid state which might be the way to go if you are good with no tubes. Dunno what MC you intend running but at this price level, you might be best served usin... | |
| Happy with digital, but thinking about vinyl--looking for system specific recommendations The least expensive option may not give you what you want. You could look out for a used vintage table like a Thorens 160 or up your budget to a Rega 3 etc. I have a few Croft amps including a 25R. I would strongly recommend swapping out the stock... | |
| Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound? So, you've tried everything. Looks like it is a dark sounding cartridge. | |
| I need a good arm to mate with a modified Lenco L75 @vpi So ... the 301 or the VPI? | |
| Anyone hear a Croft Integrated Amp? @zek4u My 25R is dedicated to phono only. It was always verboten back in the day to hang a cable on the tape out unless necessary. You might try it with/without late at night to see if it affects SQ. | |
| power I can see it now: a whole line of amps at all these different output points! Not necessary nor sensible. You need to double the power to achieve a 3dB increase in volume. | |
| High End Reproduction is back @lewm Indeed! The Apolyt alone is $300k. | |
| High End Reproduction is back Apolyt turntable with Fremer.https://youtu.be/3C84geXA8LU | |
| High End Reproduction is back Must be at least $10k. | |
| Jelco TK-850L review @raymonda will do. I did note that this was first impressions. | |
| Jelco TK-850L review The cons:1. The arm rest clamp is not great. It doesn’t grab the arm like a friction type. It simply rests on it unless you close it and the hard plastic feels cheap. 2. There is a very mild and barely detectable upper bass/lower mid dip in the re... | |
| Jelco TK-850L review Definitely reduces surface noise in my set-up. One thing that has become increasingly apparent is that older analog recordings are simply amazing. Much increased detail throughout the frequency range. I can hear plucked bass strings vibrating agai... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations @diaspora Yeah, I hear you. I have a lesser Decca and it is stunning... but as you say, it can exacerbate pops and clicks BUT the speed and presentation make you simply sit in awe at the music. In a perfect world the London would be on a 12" arm w... | |
| Cartridge Recommendations Great setup. Search Agon for Phanthom posts. I think a London Reference would be amazing. @halcro recommended a ZYX .24 but that might be out of budget. | |
| Buzzing/Loud overtones on Sansui 2000A receiver? Disconnect the turntable cables from the inputs. Select phono. Turn up volume. Do you hear the noise?If not, connect red and white RCA turntable cables to the phono input. Do you hear noise?If yes, run a wire from the 3" wire to the metal part of ... |
