| Best tonearm for London Reference Cartridge I use a Jelco 750L 12" with my Decca MkVII with Paratrace stylus and it works great. So much so, I feel no need to upgrade. I've no idea what more expensive arms must sound like but the music just sounds right with the Jelco. There is a head shell... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I know little about digital. I guess I can see how having full range speakers hooked up to a mighty HT Denon could impress. However on a vinyl rig, where you want to hear the horsehairs snap on a bow and the tears in the voice of a treble, I would... | |
| London Decca Looking forward to it. Should be very interesting! | |
| Major mistakes made in assembling your audio rig Dunno man. I sued for 10 big 'uns and they won't pay up. | |
| Major mistakes made in assembling your audio rig Selling a 401 for $75 and my folks throwing away a 301 and Grace 707 and my 10 tube home made tube phono preamp along with a box of Mullards, Teles, Brimars and Seimens tubes. | |
| Apartment Drama So do you use honey to catch the flies and then kill them with the vinegar? | |
| Need help determining next upgrade - 3rd ATTEMPT Try some 12 gauge solid core house wiring on the speakers. All those little strands smear the signal. | |
| London Decca I love my Decca Super Gold too. I had it re-tipped by John Wright in England with a Paratrace stylus which takes it to a new level. | |
| Apartment Drama I am so glad I do not live in an apartment anymore. It was awful. There are two behavioral expectations at odds here.1. I will be quiet and trust you to offer me the same courtesy. 2. I will be noisy and allow you to be noisy if you want to be.Whi... | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 1 Not boring! All the same... 200amp aluminum can't sound as good as OFC and teflon! | |
| The sound of my new electrical service: Day 2 Great read Harv. When my boiler fires up, I have to cease serious listening for a few minutes because things like sound stage and 3d imaging deteriorate. It's only for a few minutes every hour or so but illustrates what happens when the power is d... | |
| Linn Basik LVX vs. Rega RB 303 Second on the Jelco 750. | |
| Ssssh, is your tube preamp really that quiet? Ralph, I had a Croft amp once designed for LOMC. It used parallel ECC88s and 24volt B+. It did have some tube hiss but worked well enough until any of the triode sections went microphonic. I tried swapping the psu for 2x12v lead acid batteries but... | |
| SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge? Really? Someone suggested SME iv and v for a relatively cheap turntable? All the SL1200s I have heard sounded a bit rough. It just seems like a top heavy approach. | |
| Just a bit to bright try some solid core 12 gauge mains wire from Home Depot for the speakers. And dump any cheapo interconnects. |
