| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." Thanks flieb. Much better than what I was gonna say! My simpler response is that because a finer stylus fits deeper in the groove it may (or may not - depending on cantilever length/cart/and other variables) require less tracking force to track pr... | |
| Looking for a phono stage to go with my system Meambler, I think truem is most likely right. You may also find some used classic separates - audio research sp9 has a really nice phono stage as well as older counterpoints. You may find one at or about $700. | |
| Looking for a phono stage to go with my system You may want to try a bellari - have not heard it in my system but was sounding really nice at " in living stereo" audio shop in nyc. You can swap out the tube, and upgrade the power supply for upgrades. | |
| Best mm cart for VPI scout/jmv-9 memorial arm Please at least consider morrow audio phono cables. Inexpensive and I have found them to be close to the performance of cardas tone arm cable. | |
| Idea of value of a Micro Seiko turntable I think about $1500 + or - . Wish I had the cash to take it off your hands! I wonder what tt you listen to that is better... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." Eno, no. Retip (at least from soundsmith) does not lower compliance... How ever, ss will rebuild the 103s suspension for lower compliance if one is willing to pay for that. It may however lower the VTF due to the change in diamond shape. But if yo... | |
| Denon DL-103 "one of the...." I'm pretty sure anyone with a budget (or not) and a MC phono stage should either try it or have at least one variant --- 103r, d, pro, alum body, wood, Zu, vanden hul retip, soundsmith tip, etc...---- for their reference or for a back up. Who else... | |
| What would you do? Yeah man! It's not rocket science to do it your self. I did it years ago with a td 166. Mos def Mapleshade as mattmiller suggests. That's a killer combo w the bronze! I did heavy damping w/ alum/asphalt sheets, Mapleshade galore. - sounded better ... | |
| What is my weak link? p.s. - i had a td 166 that was heavily damped with aluminum & vinyl damping sheets / heavy brass feet (mapleshade) . sounded better than a new $1800 modern tt. i lost a lot of money when i sold the new table! i have since realized that many ne... | |
| What is my weak link? I haven't heard your luxman but i suspect it's pretty awesome. i believe it's phono stage has low output MC capabilities. You might mos def wanna experiment with a few LOMC carts. I also upgraded from rotel amp/pre to a tube based amp/pre. I have ... | |
| CJ PV10A phono section: Repair or buy separate? Maybe repair and upgrade! i have found that upgrades are cheaper and yield more satisfying results than spending thousands for minimal improvements http://www.audio-horizons.com/pages/preamp.htmlpeace. | |
| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak Hey yall. Allow me to chime in. Im just another philosophizer about crystals (at least for now) no empirical evidence here! But have been trying many things in the past years to rid my phono set up of CB radio and faint long wave interference. A... | |
| cartridge plays the radio i had this problem for years, the walkeraudio eliminator seemed to fix it. | |
| CB Radio interference There is a solution! at least mostly a solution. I just installed Walker Audio's Eliminator-T at my phono pre-amp I think the problem is solved!!! not only has the CB radio/RFI been significantly reduced, but i had a very nice improvement in the ... | |
| Maple Platform Question i second both the trying of blue-tack and herbies db neutralizer dots under the maple if hight does not permit mapleshades cork/rubber. I use herbies db under my mapleshade speaker base and under my tt/preamp wall rack. that stuff is great and che... |
