| VPI JMW 9 wire problem Thanks to @wlutke and @lewm for giving me the confidence to measure the resistance without worrying about damaging the cartridge, and a small brainstorm I had that I could simply measure resistance from an RCA cable attached to the turntable, ... | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem @lewm I am using a Dynavector XX2 MKII cartridge. It is 0.28mV output and only 6 ohms impedance. | |
| VPI JMW 9 wire problem @wlutke Yes, I figured out how to unscrew the connector and I didn't see anything obvious inside. I'm not quite sure how to reorientate the pins so that they are correct when I reassemble it. Also, I don't know if it is safe to use a multimeter ... | |
| New Wolf Von Langa SON Owner! Congratulations. I really liked them at Axpona. | |
| AXPONA — PS Audio I went into the room at least 4 times over the three days and heard both the FR20 and FR30 speakers. I was expecting to like them, and had even considered buying them, but the simple fact is I did not think they sounded great. Perhaps it was the... | |
| Thoughts on Gustard X26 Pro I compared the X26 to the Pontus II. I spent two months trying to decide between them. Finally I choose to keep the X26 because it had a more open, detailed, and spacious sound but the differences were small. I now use the R26 which I think is ... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru Yeah, my comparison of sine wave vs square wave from the OCK-2 to R26 definitely favored the sine wave. I still think it is crazy that a timing signal can so dramatically impact the sound and is so sensitive to cables etc.. And I am on d... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? @kereru I am using fairly generic LMR240 50 Ohm and RG402 75 Ohm cables I bought from a chinese seller, bydpete, on ebay. It wasn't clear to me from my reading what the best, affordable cable would be but I'm not going to spend $180 for something... | |
| For Gustard R26...which bang for the buck: DDC or LHY OCK clock? I just got the LHY OCK-2 yesterday. I am using it with the R26 with the Sine wave output and 50 ohm cable and with the EtherREGEN with the Square wave output and a 75 ohm cable. It is still early but I am blown away by what a significant differe... | |
| Pro-ject vs Rega I put an AT-ART9XI cartridge on my P6 replacing the Ania MC and it was a big upgrade. I didn't shim the tonearm to adjust for VTA. | |
| Tekton speaker comparison thread @smodtactical All of the Magnepan speakers I have owned have had more micro detail than my Moabs. | |
| Denafrips Pontus II 12th VS Gustard R 26 I bought the Pontus II and the Gustard X26 16 months ago. After going back and forth for nearly three months I decided to keep the X26 and sell the Pontus II. I preferred the better soundstage and sense of space the X26 offered vs a somewhat ric... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? I am interested and could bring the Peachtree GaN 400 if the event is held in Seattle area. | |
| Second MC Cartridge Choice.....Tokyo @rwanda I have an AT-ART9XI in my Rega P6 and a Skyanalog G-2 in my Technics SL 1210GR. The ART9XI is exceptionally transparent. It really doesn't color the music much at all. Dynamics, presence, clarity and magic are all improved over streamin... | |
| The Mood Was Ruined @elliottbnewcombjr Can you explain how you use the magnifying mirror? If you rest the stylus on the mirror is it actually magnified and in focus or do you use it some other way? |
