| Music Hall Classic Turntable My girlfriend has a Music Hall Classic. I think it’s a great turntable for the money. +1 on an Ortofon cartridge that fits your budget. My girlfriend is using the phono stage in her Peachtree Nova 150. But, i’m sure upgrading the phono stage from ... | |
| Cartridge upgrade That’s kind of what I thought too. I currently have my Clearaudio Virtuoso V1 MM carts gain set at 45db, load resistance at 47k ohms and a load capacitance of 100pf. So, the moving iron Soundsmith is virtually the same…. The other reason I went w... | |
| Cartridge upgrade @mijostyn thanks for your input regarding a cartridge for my table. I made a stop at my local Clearaudio dealer last week. He agreed with you that the satisfy tonearm on my table could handle a significant cartridge upgrade. I was planning on m... | |
| Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition After doing some research an audiophile friend and I went partners on a new Degritter Mk II. We have had it for about 6 months now and are happy with it. It does make a noticeable difference with record sound quality. I’ve also found that using it... | |
| Mark Knopfler & James Taylor James Taylor- Shower the People. Especially the version where Arnold McCuller is performing the vocal solo. | |
| Cartridge upgrade @lewm I kind of wanted to grab a Purple Heart as a fellow commentor mentioned Kiseki is pulling out of the US market. I guess I could grab one used somewhere down the line. However, I’m not against buying from Soundsmith or some of the makers that... | |
| Cartridge upgrade Thanks everyone for your input. @mijostyn I have a friend that has a Soundsmith Paua Mk II on his table. In my opinion it’s one of the best sounding cartridges I have heard. However, I think that costs more new than a Purple Heart. I would like t... | |
| Looking for phono preamp advice in the $1000 - $1600 range $1500 + - was also my phono stage budget. I found a pre-owned Manley Chinook Upscale Audio Ed. for $1595. It was the best money I have spent on my analog set up. If you want solid state +1 on the Hegel V10. I went partners with a friend on one. We... | |
| Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range If you’re looking for solid state the Hegel V10 sounds great. A pre owned one can be had in the $1,000 range. | |
| Turntable for girlfriend Thanks for the input. Easy setup and use for her is key. Cartridge alignment, tracking force and anti-skate are foreign terms to her. So, if there’s a problem, I’ll get a call right away. She’s just texted and asked why there are so many Three Dog... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? I just uploaded a similar post. I'm looking for an inexpensive system for my girlfriend here in the USA. I'm leaning towards a stock Rega Planar 1 and a refurbished Peachtree Audio Nova 150 so she can use the MM internal phono stage. I already ... | |
| Suggestions for Phono Preamp Don’t be afraid of dip switches. I just purchased a new phono stage. I too wanted to go the no dip switch route. For me it was because they looked tricky to use and I did not understand how they worked. After doing some research I opted to purchas... | |
| Testing for Dirty Electrical Power Hi all. I tried this just after Christmas. I purchased a EMI line tester. It turns out I have very clean power, on average 16 mVpp. After doing some research I purchased a AudioQuest Niagara 1200 Power Conditioner hoping I could get any noise to z... | |
| Audioquest Niagara 1200 After reading all of the positive reviews on the Niagara 1200 I too was surprised with the additional noise on the 5 Linear Filtered outlets. I was not expecting the unit to provide any sonic improvements. What I was looking to do was send clean ... | |
| Audioquest Niagara 1200 Thanks for the input. I initially jumped down this rabbit hole because I had a buzz coming out of my phono preamp. Since then I upgraded my electrical panel and added a dedicated 15 amp hospital outlet. Problem solved. I suspect I had a bad ground... |
