| Forever turntable under $2000 I have an LP12 and a Technics 1200 (among about a dozen more TT's in my collection). I prefer the Linn, but that's just my personal prejudice! Either table is capable of musically satisfying playback! So I say get a 1200 - the best "right out of t... | |
| 5R4WG tube Don't think that you are smarter than the circuit designer and play around with dissimilar rectifier tubes! This can lead to a damaged amp! | |
| 5R4WG tube Don't change the rectifier tube from what the amp was originally designed for! Rectifier tubes drop different amounts of voltage - this will alter the B+ voltage from what a particular circuit requires! Plus the heater's current draw may exceed th... | |
| GZ34/5AR4 tube I prefer vintage ones (even used) as long as they test good for emissions! | |
| GZ34/5AR4 tube Any of the US, British and Japanese made in the 50's, 60's and 70's. They possibly have a longer life span than current production! | |
| The sound of speakers is distortion. Speakers are the only component that cannot escape the scrutiny of the measuring microphone. If it measures better, it will sound better! Time/phase, dispersion, frequency response, power handling are all well-understood (and easily measured) qual... | |
| How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp PM sent! | |
| How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp I used the Bedini 25/25 class A amp with my second pair of Time Windows. My third (and present pair) is being driven by a GAS Son Of Ampzilla (as was my first pair in '77). My modded Dyna ST70 tube amp would also work well! | |
| How to Choose Speakers Appropriate for My Amp I can recommend the DCM Time Windows. I am now on my third pair (after acquiring pairs one and two in ’77 and ’78). Nearly perfect impulse and phase response. Floor-standers with superb horizontal dispersion (thanks to a prism-shaped cabinet). Sen... | |
| MC suggestions @racedoc : the DS - E1 is not an mc cartridge! It is a photoelectric transducer - no coils and magnets! | |
| Song (or music) you want played at your funeral. Siegfried's Rhine Journey and Funeral Music! From the Solti Ring! | |
| Turntable for a Denon DL-103 cartridge Herb Reichert gave it a very favorable review in Stereophile. I agree with him! Maybe the best TT under $1K! | |
| Turntable for a Denon DL-103 cartridge I use a 103R in my Pioneer PLX1000. It works well and is an easy recommendation! Plus it is a new direct-drive TT with zero maintenance issues! | |
| Turntable for a Denon DL-103 cartridge I'd buy the Pioneer PL-41D. Forget about the Dual 1246 - too mechanically complicated (servicing issues) - you don't need a changer! | |
| Besides Aja and zeppelin pressings, what others are demo level recordings? Try "Fear" by John Cale - one of my longtime favorites! |
