| Shure SFG-2 - Safe to use with LOMC carts? I have an older SFG-2, at least 20 years, and have never had any problem during that time with MC cartridges, regardless of output. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ah, if life could only be simpler!All this discussion of improved playback for some cartridges with elevated arm height to increase VTA is interesting. And while it is not my intent to question listening responses of others, I just read an interes... | |
| Slate under speakers? Slate is becoming a favored material for custom turntable plinths due to its characteristic of dissipating micro-vibrations. It is not simply mass as several other materials can offer that as well. Apparently it is the layering process when the sl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Royi, Raul, any information about the LTD designation on the Empire LTD 750 which Raul recommended some time ago and where it fits into the Empire range? All your discussion about the EDR is what raised the question for me.I must admit that all th... | |
| Specs for Duntech/Dunlavy PCL-15s? Ramilio, these were Duntech, not DAL models. If you don't receive info from an owner here, you have two other options. Contact Duntech in Australia, although someone else posted disappointment from their contact saying no information forthcoming, ... | |
| Question regarding reputation of SOTA tables To over simplify, there are two approaches to this hobby. Buy quality, matched components, keep them in top operating condition, forget about constant upgrades and enjoy your music for years. Or buy highly recommended components that may not neces... | |
| Which moving magnet cartridge mm 4 vpi classic? Last I knew, HW recommended Dynavector and Grado cartridges with his arms/tables. Any chance you can audition any models from these two to see if they might suit you? | |
| Tube preamp for techno and other bass-heavy music? A more general answer - When Joule Electra was first introduced, they offered the LA-75 and LA-100 line stage. The difference was the LA-75 had a SS power supply so was less expensive. The main sonic difference was a stronger, more dominant mid-ba... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Re: loading resistanceFor Montepilot and others interested in trying loading higher than the standard 47K, this may help. You should not need to buy a new adjustable phono stage or build a more complicated variable device like Dgarreston described... | |
| Direct Drive turntables Lew, you offer a great example of comparison and I should have remembered it. A friend of mine owned a VPI Scout and became curious about the current rim drives. Although it cost about the same as his table and arm, he ordered the VERUS rim drive/... | |
| Direct Drive turntables This is a most interesting post and I thank all the knowledgeable Goners for their contributions. As Raul stated, sharing knowledge is important. And 75 comments in just one week clearly shows the level of interest in this topic.BUT, if I understa... | |
| Duntech repairs? I would send a note to both Madisound (since they previously sold Dynaudio) and Dynaudio, asking about the model numbers. The similarity of the numbers suggests they are all the same manufacturer.If all else fails, you might contact Millersound, e... | |
| Duntech repairs? Sugarshed, I'm not familiar with the Marquis but I assume it has 2 woofers per speaker in a D'Appolito array since John Dunlavy favored that design. I would examine the other three woofers to identify their brand and model number, then find a repl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, yes looks like you got a nice deal on a pair of headphones. Also, looks like the model number is RS-1i.http://www.gradolabs.com/frameset_main.htm | |
| Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise Well, the maple-wood guy claims his modified small tube integrated amp (30 wpc?) can drive the 3.6. Interestingly when I've seen Magnepans at shows, the company bi-amps them with large Brystons (600 wpc?). That should tell us something. Of course ... |
