| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hiho, your suggestion for a VPI 10.5 might not work. Remember the mounting pedestal for the VPI arms is offset from the pivot point and requires more clearance adjacent to the platter. They will not work with SP-10 Mk 2 or 3 for example with their... | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 Arm - how good is it? I have a MA-505S which designates silver wire. Not certain of this but I've read some call that the Mk II.Isn't the Mk III a straight arm tube rather than S shape? | |
| Info from those familiar with Audio Research Currently I have a Manley Jumbo Shrimp. I like the sonics of that but it is a line stage with minimal functions. I intend to have two arms/cartridges so there are advantages with a full preamp, then utilizing an outboard phono stage into Aux for t... | |
| MM cartridges As I said, I sold my Kuzma arm and table. Mine came with Straight Wire - copper wire with black braided wrap. Looked like this only without the DIN plug, it was continuous..http://www.straightwire.com/interconnects_tonearm.htmlI bought mine years ... | |
| MM cartridges Bdp24, be certain about the wire you select. Mine had continuous wire from the cartridge clips to RCAs (not a bad thing in my mind) so changing is not a simple task.For example I've read that silver wire can sound too bright with some SS electroni... | |
| MM cartridges Bdp24, I owned a Stogi Reference for several years. Over that time I was continually impressed by the design/features of the arm. And every cartridge I mounted seemed to work well. I only sold it (along with the Stabi table) because of the fixed h... | |
| In Memoriam: Bobby Palkovich of Merlin Music This news was certainly a bit of a shock. I can't say I knew Bobby well but I chatted with him several times in the Merlin/Joule Electra room at the CES over the years. My impression was for his dedication - to his speakers, to his customers, and ... | |
| MM cartridges Grado hum -That can be a problem with their plastic bodies as well, not just the wooden ones Al mentions. Possibly other cartridges can have this problem too but Grados seem to be best known for this potential.In my experience when hum occurs it i... | |
| Magnepan 20.7 - Ten Feet or More Into a Room? In case this might help, it is well established that reflected sounds should have at least a 10 millisecond delay from direct sounds to help clarity and minimize sonic smearing. Since sound travels at close to one foot per millisecond that makes c... | |
| stereo preamp $2-5K suggestions G, many, many years ago I owned three different versions of the Vandy 2 speakers so have maintained some interest in their models. There were two separate times I heard amazing performance from Vandersteens, one at Havens & Hardesty (a former ... | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings Thanks Prcinka, I was looking at record labels, not jackets. Now I'll need to look again. | |
| Good sounding Deutsche Grammophon recordings Can someone clarify "red stereo label"? Looking at my DGs the older ones (but not yet tulip) have the silver Stereo word in the center. Most others have red printing for more than the word Stereo. I don't own any with only the word Stereo in red. | |
| Maplenoll fans Iink about Bob Dilger Back in 19?? I bought a new Maplenoll Athena. That had an air-bearing, tangental arm (similar to the ET) and air-bearing platter. It was the best sounding tt/arm I'd heard up to that time. Unfortunately after about one month of use it developed pr... | |
| Carbon Fiber Brush with Milty Gun? Margot, I have two old Zerostats with original boxes/instructions. One is a red gun, the other one white. They have similar instructions. I'll paraphrase -1. Hold gun about 12" from stationary LP on platter.2. Visualize equilateral triangle (12, 4... | |
| wired magazine and Tom Port Speaking of older SS electronics, in the late 70s I had to downsize my system and ended up with a Sansui 717 integrated amp driving used Maggie MG1s. I wouldn't suggest the Sansui would work well with all speakers but that match was very musically... |
