| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, and other "elder eyes" like myself; it seems some sort of vision enhancement is a requirement for any cartridge alignment. I also have a (metal version) Dennesen that I've used for many years. I use it with a 2" magnifier (marked 1/2" on the ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System The galleon captain says to his slave crew, "I have good news and I have bad news.""What's the good news?" they cried.He said, "We're going to Jamaica." The response was wild cheering.Then one of the crew ask, "So what's the bad news?"The captain ... | |
| How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff? River, I've been in this hobby for decades and after owning and auditioning more speakers than I can remember I bought a pair of Duntech Princesses, the older sibling to the DAL SC-IV. I ended up keeping them for 19 years, only selling them to dow... | |
| quad 2805 vs magnepan 1.7 Don't you just love it when someone asks a serious question about A versus B and some jerk feels compelled to chime in and say "ya godda try the Q instead"?They don't ask about room or amps or listening levels or musical preferences, or what the O... | |
| Adcom GFA-565's or Eagle 400 mono blocks Adcoms can be good, serviceable amps. Eagles/EKSCs can be great amps. A few years ago a friend had B&W 801s driven by a pair of EKSC 400 monos and I've never heard B&Ws sound better.I would agree they can sound (very) slightly bright in so... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul. Since this is your thread, I guess a diversion into amplifiers can be accepted. ;-)For 19 years I owned and enjoyed Duntech Princess speakers, which you heard during your visit. They are a very revealing speaker and unfortunately present ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Bad news Lew, the MSRP of the JC-1 is $9K. I think even Stereophile finally updated the price in their recommended components list.But that is said with my tongue in one cheek. Everything you say about value still applies. And I know someone who c... | |
| audio research There was much controversy on the SP-9 with conflicting reviews when new. I auditioned one from a dealer and thought it sounded wonderful. The one I bought was sealed in the box and did not sound nearly as good, so I returned it.I never followed u... | |
| Experience w/ 40-75 watt amps on Dunlavy IVs One year at the CES, John Dunlavy used a SET Bel Canto amp (sorry, I'm not familiar enough with them to identify model) to drive DAL SC-IIIs. Stanwal, if your friend is the same as mine it is not a similar system. My friend has Duntech Princesses ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, what would you say to a silicon adhesive? One that does not harden and form a permanent bond so the stylus could be removed when necessary. It would require careful application to avoid any contact with the shank entering the cartridge body.I... | |
| Technics SP-10mkII replacement screws? If you register at Vinyl Engine you can download the service manual for the SP-10 Mk2, and hopefully for whichever model you have for the Obsidian plinth (they made three). Those should identify pitch and size for all screws, then it is only a tri... | |
| Potential cartridge for a Kuzma rig When Muse imported the Kuzma tables/arms, Kevin recommended Dynavector cartridges as particularly good matches. So you might look for your price point within their range. | |
| Dual 1009 : Is it a good TT to buy ? My first "stereo system" purchased in 1966 included a Dual 1009, along with Dynaco electronics and AR speakers. I don't know much about Duals but there were many models that followed that I assume were better. Typical recommendations for the older... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave I've found it interesting that while the OP ask about the "lowest octave", which would commonly be defined as 20-40 Hz, so many replies have commented on bass in general or if specific, reproduction above 40 Hz.But for the general value of a decen... | |
| Antique Sound Lab 805 DT SETs--WOW Jeffreybehr, we exchanged messages a few years ago (Two Jeffreys question). Apparently you still have that turnstile installed in the doorway of your listening room! You certainly have gone through a variety of equipment. But it sounds like you're... |
