| “Marks on the underside” When selling equipment make the best description but show any blemish, ebay has many kind of buyers.Buyers there show less sensitiviy on cables, tubes, music but more on gear.G | |
| What does 'cold' mean? What does 'warm' mean? Universally accepted as terms, but for me neither is correct when it comes to balance or neutrality.G | |
| Is cartridge Demagnetizing Necessary? MM cartridges.....ok if stylus is removed, MC never tried and do not want to. If i want to play around the Cardas test LP is fine.G | |
| EH 6550s or Svetlana 6550C I always preffered SED 6550C not Svetlana or EH when i had the SF Power 2. Another alternative is KT120, can be handled by Power 2 easily, give a more powerful sound but still SED’s would be my choice for that amp. Please note the importance of in... | |
| Rega Planar 3 : Heavily upgraded yet produces a sound that I don't like Or a Dynavector 10x5, or to check with a different phono stage.Rega 3 is basic but still produces fast bass and attack.G | |
| Hybrid Tube & SS I could not agree more on the listening before going ahead. Only then you can support any arguement. With my current speakers (91db) i use hybrid pre and ss stereo amp, works much better sonically than my previous tubed power amp that had plenty o... | |
| Garrard 60hz Strobed platter I second the KAB for checking speed.G | |
| For auld lang syne, ..high-end companies you really liked that are gone.... Counterpoint, Ariston, IMF, TDL, JVC, Sonic Frontiers, Dunlavy, ....G | |
| Best Power cable around/prefer under $300.... If you like DIY and can stretch a little, you could check also a Furutech FP-3TS762, a 10AWG screened cable and copper FI-11/FI-11M connectors. 1,8-2m works perfectly fine.G | |
| How old is your cartridge? Suspension may deteriorate faster, before stylus wears out completely- by that time i am sure though that the shape would be rounded -, when mistracking appears you know it.G | |
| What did you make for Christmas? I love cooking but not this Xmas, mother in law took over in a family gathering. After moving or not around like a crocodile did put the radio on and stopped moving at all till next day. Not so active i confess.Mary Xmas and Happy New Year.G | |
| How to choose the right protractor for my effective tonearm length I use DBP-10 for so many years and is excellent, does not cost much either. G | |
| Inexpensive MM Cartridge My bet would be a Goldring GL2100 and if you can stretch your budget a GL3100 or a Nagaoka MP200. Grados are fine but there is a chance to produce light hum on a vintage TT. AT95ATV is fine too with plenty of punch.G | |
| Magnum Dyna Lab MD 308 Integrated Amp.. OR.. Kenwood KA 8100 Integrated Amp i would keep the Kenwood for phono stage, sound quality, looks, construction, value.G | |
| Sound quality impact - preamp vs power amp? op is a bit confusing, if everything else is high end then both pre and power should be of same pedigree. If funds are a limiting factor then get a better integrated amp that drives your speakers well. Consider speakers and power amp as one voice,... |
