| MC loading at 47K Why dont you try putting a 1K or whatever resistor on a rca adapter and see if you like it. While everyone here speculates about what it may sound like you could actually find out and form your own opinion. just a thought | |
| SME V setup The key here is having a cart with a cantilever/stylus precisely aligned, the V doesnt allow for alignments "out of square" easily. Ive found with good straight carts (soundsmith, clearaudio, lyra etc) they pop right in with the supplied guide and... | |
| Bottlehead Seduction Clearaudio MM cartridge I used my virtuoso with my seduction and it sounded great (better than 834p) | |
| Oh how I wish Class D amps ... Try Channel Islands class D 500W mono blocks which completely fulfill the promise of class D. | |
| pacific valve&electric +1 for pac valve. I have Doge 8 and it is an amazing bargain also the service at pac valve is very good. My friend has the Doge cd player and is equally impressed. | |
| Simon Yorke turntables-audiophile best value? "They made exclusively for the dedicated connoisseur that knows exactly how & precisely where he guides it's utterly accurate system." I agree, and I might add not for the typically gullible audio consumer you might find on some forums. | |
| Monolithic Sound ps-1- hc-1 vs Clearaudio Basic + I had them both and used them both for MM and MC with a wide selection of carts. I preferred the Monolithic by a large margin in every case. In fact better than some far more expensive pres as well. Your cart and line stage will influence your pre... | |
| Soundsmith's turnaround time? Ive sent in 3. Im very happy with the work and they took about 5 weeks. | |
| Best Fully Automatic TT Im suprised no one mentioned the technics 1700 mk II. One of technics best TT's. | |
| Of Moving Magnets - Step ups - and phono stages Heyraz, you use an SUT in front of an MM phono stage to bring an MC low output cart up to MM level. | |
| Of Moving Magnets - Step ups - and phono stages For a real performance improvement over the BH you'll have to move way up the food chain. For $2K used you would have some good choices but an sut for far less will make your seduction sing. Bobs devices are reasonable as are K&K. After trying... | |
| CineMag SUT I have tried many SUT's and find the results are cartridge dependant. I like the Cinemag or 4722 best for 103 and a few others compared to Hashimoto or S&B but prefer the later on other like Clearaudio or Benz. I imagine phono pre effects choi... | |
| SOTA Star Sapphire III - ball bearing & vacuum Koji, I didnt realize you were in spain. Have patience Donna and Kitk can get backed up and they will help but I would e-mail or call again. If you hear the pump upon start up and then it shuts off that indicates the vacuum switch is working which... | |
| SOTA Star Sapphire III - ball bearing & vacuum There is a bolt going though the spindle block holding the shaft. The bolt is hollow and has the air fitting screwed into it. The three cap bolts shown in your picture are holding the keeper plate that keeps the assembly together. If you remove th... | |
| SOTA Cosmos or Garrard 301 ? Of course it all comes down to personal preference. In my system the cosmos has outperformed everything else Ive heard over the last 30+yrs including the much admired idlers. I wonder how many commenting on the cosmos IV have actually had one in t... |
