| Shinon Red cartridge I agree Harold.Many years ago I bought a Shinon Red Boron from a friend with little use. I enjoyed it for several months until the suspension collapsed. Fortunately for me the importer (then in Canada) offered to look at it and to my surprise re... | |
| Old friend looking for acoustic folk inspired music Not recent but would likely be new to him/her. Stan Rogers was a wonderful contemporary singer/song writer from Canada. He released several albums and those I have offer very good sound quality. Too bad he was lost in a commercial airline crash... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? chakster, thanks or posting the macro photo. That looks similar to mine except mine does not have the second reduced diameter tube before the wire.So now that I understand what the "tension" wire is, how might it be adjusted? Alter the length of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks for replies on the tension wire but now I’m more confused than ever. My camera does not have sufficient macro to take a good shot so I’ll attempt to describe it.First there is the large gold bracket with Technics model info on the front. Th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I think we're mixing metaphors here.Easy rider and Hell's Angels are motorcycle references. Low rider, at least here in Southern California, is an automotive reference. Close but no cigar, so to speak (and change metaphors).Now help me out here ... | |
| Best Ways to Organize a Classical Record LP Collection ? Ct, my perspective is different since I'm not greatly knowledgable about classical music plus my collection is much smaller than what many others seem to own. One local friend has nearly 10,000 LPs and well over half are classical. He organizes h... | |
| List of artists died in the plane crash alphabet: Not so well known was Stan Rogers, a Canadian contemporary folk singer. He released several well-recorded albums.Unlike so many others who went down in small planes Stan was on a commercial flight.Also, can we look back to Glen Miller? | |
| OK...I've ditched my mono cartridge Thanks thom and iopscrl for substantiating my perspective.But let me phrase it a bit differently than I did before. First off, I probably need to own more than a few mono LPs before I'll consider the trouble and expense of a mono cartridge. Othe... | |
| OK...I've ditched my mono cartridge OK folks, is there one single component or aspect in this hobby we all can agree on? None that I can think of.So both halcro and dgarretson are correct for their own perspectives.In my view the value in bothering with a dedicated mono cartridge i... | |
| VPI 16.5 Low Suction Hi Robert, see if this saves a phone call.First, have you inspected the suction tube? No signs of cracks? Fully seated position? Both felt strips in place?Second, check the angle of the suction slot (it might have been rotated). When I bought ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks JP, appreciate the full reply. I also happen to own a SP-15 which is why I included that. But I didn't want to sidetrack the post any further. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? chris74,Or any others familiar with the SP-10 series of tables. The mat on my SP-10 Mk 2A is the SFTG172-01. That one "feels" heavier than Technics mats I've seen on a few other tables but I can't be sure.So does anyone have a reference for whic... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, re: metal matsSome time ago I believe it was Raul who recommended the Audio Technica AT666. That is a metal mat with vacuum hold down. His preference was simply as an added mat, ignoring the vacuum. I looked that up and it weighs 1.4 kg, s... | |
| Cayin A 300B Hi migueca,Not sure if this will help much but I own a Cayin A300P, the sibling to the 300B. So similar except a push-pull design with two pair of 300Bs and output of 20w.Based upon mine I consider Cayin products to be very well designed and buil... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Peter, that's very good of you. JT did my initial calibrations but with him gone I don't know anyone now with the test gear to do it. I suspected it would be worthwhile after the cap changes. It will be a couple of months but I'll be in touch. |
