| Nottingham spacedeck belt For the person who pmed me, I am not able to find a source for a replacement belt. No one anywhere will sell me one because they say there is a us distributor and the us distributor is moving and was not able to sell me one. Luckily, when cleani... | |
| Hagerman Trumpet MC review I found out that Siemens did make a long black plate in 1958 through 1960. It is very rare. | |
| Hagerman Trumpet MC review Regarding the Siemens tubes. I at first thought the dates read 1956, but the codes are tough for me to read, so they could be that instead of 1960. I went with the more conservative reading. Purchased fro Brent Jessee years ago. Still going st... | |
| suggestions for new phono stage I settled on the Trumpet. For the price and flexibility I thought I ought to give it a try. Just received it and will post a review soon. Just fyi, I would guess that while Zyx spec for output is listed at .24 mv, I would bet it is more like .3... | |
| suggestions for new phono stage Thanks again everyone. Does anyone else have experience with the Hagerman Trumpet? I know it uses jfet front end, but so do some of the others in this thread that run double the price or more. | |
| suggestions for new phono stage Thanks for all of the opinions so far. Do any of the ones recommended excel at the things I mention? Soundstage and imaging? The JLTi is no slouch in this regard, just wondering if I can get more depth and precise imaging. | |
| Alternative to Zyx Ultimate Airy Please note. Not looking for better, just an alternative with similar characteristics. | |
| New cartridge ideas... Thanks again. I am concerned that the vdH frog may not be compatible with the JLTi. I have done what I can regarding set up. I did not go into too much detail in my OP to keep the length down. Will see how the new cart sounds. | |
| New cartridge ideas... I decided to upgrade to a Zyx ultimate Airy x/sb low output. I really like the Zyx sound and arrived there after trying several other cartridges out. That is why I eliminated some outright. I may try to find a Kleos to try also. Zyx is just so... | |
| Nottingham spacedeck belt I sent an email to both Nottingham Analog and Origin Live, hope to get a response next week. Thanks for the help. | |
| Nottingham spacedeck belt Thanks, will do. I really like my TT arm set up (warts and all) and would hate to have to go with a new one for lack of a belt! | |
| New cartridge ideas... Thanks everyone, will give it more thought. | |
| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? Sorry autocorrect keeps changing things and I forget to proofread🙄 | |
| critique my setup -- weak link? best way to improve? It might be good to help Matthias to prioritize a bit. For instance, I thing cables and connects will be least likely to make a big difference in that system. What cartridge is being used. I would agree speaker position or a type that works well... | |
| sibilance in system First, I was supposed to get email notifications of responses to this post. I didn’t get any, so sorry for the late reply. Thanks to everyone for their input. I think that this is a break in issue, I just need to give things more time. Only ab... |
