| redgum audio rghd headphone amplifier Do yourself a favor and check out the Gilmore V2 and V2-SE as well. I switched from tubes (Audio Valve RKV Mk II) to the V2 and have a V2-SE on the way. I'm not looking back. | |
| Graham and Shelter matching - and other arms/carts 4yanx - actually it wasn't the Jubilee that I've been using (though I'm quite curious to hear that cartridge), but the SPU GM Classic. Far more affordable too (but one needs a more exotic arm).BestPatrick | |
| Graham and Shelter matching - and other arms/carts By the way, Raul and 4yanx, the Graham was fully examined by Bob Graham a year ago, and the Shelter is a recent replacement from Jay at Audio Revelation, so I'm confident that there are no problems with the equipment. The Shelter is actually the s... | |
| Graham and Shelter matching - and other arms/carts Hi guys,Right now I'm getting so much enjoyment out of my Ortofon arm/cart combo that I haven't been worrying much about this... and actually I'm thinking of mounting my second Ortofon RS-212 with an Ortofon classic mono SPU. Maybe it's time to se... | |
| ZYX cartridge and advice The Ortofon SPUs are really special. Try to listen to the SPU Classic GM or the Classic GM-E. Remember however that they require HIGH-mass arms.Patrick | |
| Best headphone amp for new Senn 650's I bought an RKV secondhand a few months ago, no problems to date. Remarkably immune to tuberolling. Seems like a sturdy piece of equipment to me.Patrick | |
| NOn Audiophile Review of the Teres 160 Hi,Thanks for your post, Doc Jr., but my only reservation comes from your question, "How come you cannot hear the hiss in between songs?"My reply is, "I don't know, but you should be able to hear it if it's there in the original master tape" - whi... | |

| Shelter 90x vs 901 / Graham arm I have the 901 on a Graham 2.2, and I suspect that it's not the greatest possible match. Bass seems a bit bloated. I much prefer my Ortofon RS-212/SPU GM Classic combo.Patrick | |
| Supex 900 Mono Cartridge 4yanx,Phonogram is a mailing list - there is no permanent website. Actually it's two mailing lists - one called Phonogram for discussion of vinyl records, and one called Equipment for discussion of analog playback equipment.You can subscribe to ei... | |
| Supex 900 Mono Cartridge There was discussion of this auction on the Phonogram list and the consensus was that it's a 78 cartridge.Patrick | |
| Quality: vinyl then versus vinyl now... For original recordings from the past, the closer to the master tape the pressing is, the better the sound generally is. This is more important than the quality of the vinyl pressing itself. Therefore you should seek out the earliest pressing from... | |
| Battle of three amps Also Calanctus - do you have the FST on your 626Rs? Cap upgrade? I have neither - just curious. Using with the custom Sound Anchor stands with "bearded" fronts.Patrick | |
| Battle of three amps Thanks for the response, guys. Interesting on the Pass Calanctus - I'd considered the X series, but was turned off by talk of a certain leanness... I think the 626Rs' transparency while admirable can translate to a certain leanness in the right se... | |
| TT setup woes The Shelter should not be super-sensitive to VTA... it sounds like you are having bigger problems with your sound.Use the HiFiNRR record to dial in the antiskate. Then test it with some real-world records that have big peaks in the inner grooves (... |
