| Mono cartridge classification Jonathan, thank you so much for your clarifications and added information. I was guilty of using the term "narrow profile" but in my own defense, I was thinking front to back, not side to side for stylus dimensions.Your information makes me wish e... | |
| Mono cartridge classification Hesson11, I've looked into EQ devices, including the Re-Equalizer, but have not purchased anything as yet. I began a major change in my system last year, going to HE speakers and a 300B PP amp. I've also picked up a few cartridges following inspir... | |
| Mono cartridge classification Hesson11, thanks for the link to Carr's information. Nothing like going to the horse's mouth! Here is information I posted on VA some time ago. Mr. Carr's information seems to correct part of that -"I believe you must first consider which records ... | |
| Mono cartridge classification Hesson11, I've posted comments on selecting stylus size relative to the records to be played here and elsewhere and thank you for your added descriptions. I've also read the suggestion that Lyra narrow profile styli are recommend for mono playback... | |
| I want to know if the kuzma stabi s with stogi s Never used the S-version arm or table but I've found the Kuzma products to be very well engineered and built. I've owned a Stogi Reference (arm) and Stabi (table) for years and would not hesitate to recommend them. The more I've learned about thes... | |
| Do I need a phono stage? noob needs help In those thrilling days of yesteryear, nearly all receivers and preamps included a built in phono stage. But since the increase of digital sources and the decrease of interest in vinyl playback, more manufacturers have eliminated the phono stage. ... | |
| Extra outputs on a Joule LA 100 MK III? Many pre amps/line stages include a tape loop. They will usually have jacks for Tape In and Tape Out on the rear. The Joule uses an isolated switching design for a tape loop and your second pair of jacks may be considered the same as Tape Out.So l... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? So, based on Lew's discovery of the alignment mis-match with his DV arm, I'm wondering if there is a simple way to identify the alignment utilized in the design for any given arm? Could it be something as simple as observing if the cartridge requi... | |
| Modernists Unite, or: saying no to room treatment In spite of several decades in this hobby, I won't claim to be an expert on room acoustics (or any other aspect for that matter). This is not false modesty but due to the simple fact that I continue to learn new things almost every day.So let me o... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? A contrarian comment - Many of you have read, or at least heard of, Jim Smith's "Get Better Sound". That book is full of useful tips based on his years of experience with system set up and I heartily recommend it. If you buy a copy you become elig... | |
| Best Bass amp Don't know about "best" in terms of sonics but one of the best values would be a used Eagle or EKSC. The Electron Kinetics Service Center builds upgraded models and services the older John Iverson Eagle amps so they are not orphans.Great power and... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base I believe there is much confusion about Raul's table, possibly due to his non-English native language, although I think he communicates quite well. I attempted to include a link to a photo of his SP-10 but cannot figure out how to do so. It is a w... | |
| Technics SP-10 Tonearm Pod instead of Plinth/Base I agree with Lew regarding rigidity of connection between cartridge/tonearm and the platter/record. Considering the small margin for error in proper cartridge set up, I just don't see how any lack of absolute coupling between them could be benefic... | |
| Moderate Priced Integrated Amp I would second the advice to begin by selecting speakers first. Then you will know the impedance and power needs.For acoustic classical and jazz at moderate levels with near-field listening (you said the room is small), I would begin by looking at... | |
| want new plinth ideas for direct-drive turntables Need some 'splainin' here, as Desi Arnaz used to say.I don't know all that much about electronics and I'm only familiar with the SP-10 Mk 2 series of DD tables. But since the motor must remain attached to the spindle and platter, how much benefit ... |
