| Check out www.yourmusic.com Yes, definitely a cheaper way to go, as long as you find something you want. to own. However, you may be buying "seconds". Here's why I think so:I ordered Bill Frisell's "East/West" CD. Sounds great, but the East labeled disk contains the Wests so... | |
| Schroeder model 2 or Morch DP6? I would strongly suggest you contact Mehran at Sorasound (sorasound@sbcglobal.net). He may be able to help you in many different ways, whichever arm you decide to go with. He also sells ZYX cartridges, which should sound great with any of the 3 th... | |
| Most musical S.S. Amp under 2k used ? I think that musicality is a synergy between components. That being said, amps that have good PRAT tend to be more musical to my ears than ones that are overly bloomy or overly etched. The McCormack's ( I have a near rev A DNA .5) definitely have ... | |
| Mk-IV Platter on a HW-19 JR Table? It should fit fine, the only difference would be the height of the platter. You may need to raise your armboard if there's not enough adjustment in your arm heaight - but it should be OK all 'round.Brrgrr: I have a Corian plinth for my custom VPI,... | |
| Reference Transports: An overall perspective Don't forget the Empirical Audio modded Sony DVP7700. Yes, it's a modified DVD player, but the jitter signature is one of the lowest you will see, and after mods it is a true worldbeater. Built like a tank with a true copper chassis too.Enjoy,Bob | |
| Whats under your VPI Scout / Scoutmaster? Maple butcher block here too, with DIY rollerblocks under that (for isolation). I also have an EAR Isodamp sheet under the motor.Enjoy,Bob | |
| New Cartridge for Morch DP-6, 12", Red Dot Sorry about the misdirection. I didn't find it on the Moerch site either, but I did find it here:http://www.vinylengine.com/manuals_moerch.shtmlLook at the link for: Moerch Arm / Cartridge fitment listGood luck,Bob | |
| New Cartridge for Morch DP-6, 12", Red Dot Why not look at a Dynavector. I believe they all work to spec with the red dot arms.Moerch also has a spec sheet on their site listing many cartridges and the appropriate arem "dot" for them. You could look through that and see if anything catches... | |
| What time do you wear? I feel so bad about doing this, but I actually made my first Home Shopping Network purchase. I know, I know. I'm so ashamed. I bought these for Christmas:http://www.hsn.com/cnt/prod/default.aspx?webp_id=2159282&web_id=2159283&sz=0&sf=&... | |
| Haven't played my LP's in 20 years - still good? Definitely don't believe any of the answers you have gotten so far. Your LP's are now trash. They will sound like poopy if you try to play them again after all these years. In fact, they might even qualify as toxic waste, so you can't just deposit... | |
| Audioquest pt-6 tonearm? I had a PT6 for some time. Change out the cable before you go anywhere else. That makes a big difference, for sure.I recently upgraded for a Moerch DP6. Phew - no comparison there in performance. Amazing arem, that Moerch, but I did have some moun... | |
| Speaker on its side as a center? I use 6 identical speakers for my 6.1 system. I was laying the center on its side for esthetic purposes, but tried standing it up to hear the difference. There definitely was one. Tweeter dispersion patterns and all, I believe. Only way to know is... | |
| Upgrading my tweeters and need some opinions...... I think you should direct your question to the experts at the www.Madisound.com forum. Most likely they will tell you that you should hear examples of all of those options, and then form your own opinion about the +'s and -'s of each type.Then you... | |
| Is it bad to stack your equipment One big issue with stacking involves components with torroidal transformers inside. Those are the round donought things. Picture this and you'll understand:A torroidal projects through the hole in its middle. Kind of like a javeline top and bottom... | |
| Best undiscovered speakers on the market today ? Most any kit based speaker from any of the reputable small, single owner companies out there who work out of their garage or small work/store space. Best bang for the buck for sure. Some are truely giant killers.Enjoy,Bob |
