| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 You know, Raymonda, you're right. I've been a big baby about this. There are a number of combinations discussed in the manual that I did not try for grounding options. And the motor is fine now anyway. You've inspired me to not give up on my 150. ... | |
| Recomendation on turntable for less than $1500 Wow, so many options.WRT upgrading, a number of years ago I upgraded to a Rega RB250 arm, added a heavier plinth, and spent a lot of time tweaking the suspension. Results were very good indeed.However, I have recently developed a loud hum in the r... | |
| Blue Point No. 2 on a RB250 Gee, I've got a Stanton 881s on my old Thorens 115 that I use for the first play of used records. Maybe I should try it on the RB250.I'm not really setup for a low output cart. at this point in time. Thanks for sharing your experiences. | |
| Blue Point No. 2 on a RB250 Thanks for your responses. One thing (of many) that confuses me is that, according to the formular at this site:http://www.theanalogdept.com/cartridge___arm_matching.htmwhen I plug and chug the numbers, the BP2 should be a better match on the rega... | |
| Valve phono or valve linestage? When I swapped a CJ Premier 10 for my CJ PFR, I was surprise how much more I enjoy listening to records. Yes, the sound is different with CDs and LPs, but there was a qualitative different most apparent in even old rock LPs. I wonder why.I like bo... | |
| Arm for Thorens TD-145 /160 ? I have a Thorens TD 150 with a Rega RB250 and an Ortofon Om-20. It tracks very well and is quite detailed in presentation, at least compared to the original arm. | |
| System too harsh Help Actually, I was blaming Edison for AC, not transformers. But I do blame transformers for hum.My point was the big improvement you get from reducing internally generated vibrations, and that a text book does a good job of damping out these vibratio... | |
| System too harsh Help The most effective way to reduce system harshness is to reduce SIV (Self Induced Vibration). I know what you're thinking, "It's all Edison's fault". True, but those transformers hummmm with AC.Here's where being a physics major really pays off. I ... | |
| CJ MF 2500A:is it gonna open up? I tried the wine route but decided I needed to whine to CJ. Haven't heard back yet. It's too pronounced and I didn't change any other components or cables to cause a problem. I tried increasing the mechanical damping on the amp. It might have smoo... | |
| CJ MF 2500A:is it gonna open up? Fast forward a few years...I just had my MF 2500 upgraded to the "A" version. While there seems to be better resolution and low end, I now have a problem with sibilance. Closely mic'd vocals are just hisssssssy now. After only a couple of days, I ... | |
| Mcintosh Amps w/ B&W 801'S What concert hall are you going to use these in? I run my N803s with a Conrad Johnson MF2500 in a 18x26x8 ft. room and I think it's barely large enough for coherent sound. At any rate, the Macs can probably handle the 3 ohm MRI. |
