| Technics sp10 mrk2 or SL-1200mrkII Plinth: a base or platform.As we tilt at semantics here, perhaps Raul should join in.But until he does I have seen pictures of his SP-10 Mk2. His wood platform is larger than "enough to provide real estate for mounting his tonearm". It is large en... | |
| Technics sp10 mrk2 or SL-1200mrkII Mike, as you alluded in your last post, this thread seems almost to be going in circles. The SL-1200 series and the SP-10 series are similar in that they came from the same manufacturer and are both DD designs, but there are significant difference... | |
| What's the best Phono preamp under $1000?? My recommendation would be a Threshold FET 10. They offer silent background, musical presentation, and extended response. Versatility includes gain selection (40/60 dB) and loading (MC) and capacitance (MM) options. A former Threshold employee now... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 Hi again Rush1:Well, amplifiers! I can only offer my own experience. Since I've owned my Duntech Princess (a sibling to your SC-IV) I owned a variety of amps, tube and SS, rated from 100 to 400 wpc into 8 ohms. My Princesses are 4 ohms so they dra... | |

| Linn Sondek LP-12 service in San Diego area ? Hi Mabonn:Stereo Design sells Linn and I cannot imagine why they would not be recommended for proper set up, they've been a dealer for decades.However, two other San Diego area options -http://www.blackbirdaudio.com/Dan worked at Stereo Design for... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 Rush1, as discussed previously, John Dunlavy's designs required careful tuning of the crossovers to match individual drivers. This was important, in part, to maintain time/phase which he considered so critical. The matching was needed within a giv... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital Johnnyb, my intended point was that starting a record collection today could quickly become expensive. Considering the broad alternatives for purchase (and please notice I included on-line sources) at say an average of $20/record overall, a modest... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital 41 responses so far, but very little mention of the software.My personal preference is firmly in the vinyl camp but I would not recommend anyone getting into vinyl today unless they truly felt committed to the sonic benefits of analog playback. It... | |
| Optimum TT Height Dcstep and I have similar set ups. I'm an inch taller and my table is 2" higher.Concerning ergonomic design, the ease of viewing the record/arm/cartridge without bending over is at least as important to me as record handling. Perhaps that is a fun... | |
| Optimum TT Height I'm 6' 1" and my platter is 51" above the floor. I find this very convenient for cueing, stylus examination, record sweeping, etc. Also, even though it (thankfully) is not done on a regular basis, when I do a cartridge install/alignment it is bene... | |
| Thanks to Raul. If you expect to learn, you need an open mind. So why are some folks so critical of suggestions to try vintage cartridges, moving magnet (or iron) designs, tonearms with removable headshells, headshells of varying mass or resonance, etc.?Raul brin... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 Rush1, are your speakers SC-IV rather than SC-IVa? That might account for the confusion regarding the Morel woofers. I'm not as familiar with the DAL as the Duntech models but I believe Dunlavy made some major changes with the IVa which could have... | |
| Dunlavy SCIV 10 Rush 1, be very careful about "identical" Morels. The point Mothra was making was that even finding Morels of the same model number may not mean a match. A blessing and a curse of Dunlavy's designs (Duntech and DAL) was the matching of drivers and... | |
| LP for fathers day ideas please............ Hi Albert:You are correct, I missed the"smiley face". To make a face, I expect a nose to be included, such as: :-) or :^) I blew right past the :)But I also missed the point of your other comments. I certainly applaud your interest and acceptance ... |
