| Records are better. I actually heard it I did something similar, got an old Thorens TD-110 and put on a decent cartridge (Shure something 97 something). It soundsfairly good, but you are definitely taking a risk with oldequipment. If I could do it again I would at least have heldout for... | |
| Budget Phono Preamp? revisited I just picked up a Parasound PPH-100 on ebay. It seems towork well, and supports both MM and the higher-output MC. Iteliminated the hum that I was getting with the other AC-based preamp I tried.Mark | |
| Best budget table? I have always read that Thorens tables are a good one whenyou don't want to spend too much. Of course, one man'slow-end is another man's impossibly expensive luxury! I picked up a TD-110 for $50 and added a Shure M97XE cartridge; sounds pretty goo... | |
| Eliminating humming & buzzing Thank you for all of your excellent suggestions. Luckily,I found an inexpensive solution.My receiver doesn't have a phono input, so I had a $75phono -> line converter, which had a regular 110 plug. Ihappened to have a $25 Radio Shack 9v battery... | |
| Line doubler and HDTV Cool, thanks for the reply.How do you handle various inputs? Can you give a few details on your other equipment? Is the Quadscan the lastpiece of equipment in the chain, or do you have a receiver(or equivalent) to switch between inputs?In my case,... | |
| Integrated versions separate subwoofer Chams_uk I see. So a really crazy audiophile move would be to have a crossover for anything under 55hz and run that to a dedicated subwoofer, and also have integrated subs in the speaker. | |
| How can I get back into vinyl very cheaply? I just got a TD110 for $50, and with a new cartridge itshould sound OK. The classics are the TD124 and 125, anda lot of people like the 126, 150, 160, 166 models too. I'llprobably pick up a TD125 next. | |
| Where to find new vinyl I suppose I just need to get one and find out.Also, what are some of your favorite current releases? Ipicked up Story of the Ghost by Phish, which is perhapsthe best sounding rock release of all time. How do theymake vinyl releases these days; do ... | |
| Where to find new vinyl Thanks for the helpful responses, I already found a coupleof discs for my wish list.What is the deal with 45 rpm? They cost twice as much as33 rpm discs, why? I suppose theoretically they can putmore information on there, though the time per side ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? NHT 3.3. I wish I had written down the amp that waspowering it.I am not a long time audiophile so I haven't listenedto a lot, but my next speaker purchase will be a setof 3.3's, without a doubt. | |
| Receiver recommendations? slipknot1Have you looked at etree.org? The shorten file format hasbecome the standard these days, lossless CD qualitycompression, and plenty of ftp sites dedicated to it.Also, Phish is going to have all shows up for sale within48 hours of the show... | |
| Receiver recommendations? Sogood51, Does Onkyo generally have pre-amp outputs? I am wary ofbuying on ebay without a specific model number because Idon't want to end up in the same situation I'm incurrently! I have a Pioneer VSX-D509S (which I likequite a bit except for the... | |
