| Questions about stock Technics 1200GR OEM Phono cable A phono cartridge with several hundred milli-henries of inductance (most mm's) will be sensitive to capacitive loading by the IC. Result: rolled-off high frequencies. MC's and MI's are immune to this! | |
| Is it all in my head?? Polishing the blades on PC's with Copper Brite was a tweak I read about years ago! | |
| Is it all in my head?? If PC's made a difference why are all the enthusiasts so unwilling to do this simple test? | |
| Is it all in my head?? Now if someone snuck in overnight and replaced that new PC with the cheap original one (and you didn't notice), it is most likely that you would not hear any difference from the day before! | |
| Is it all in my head?? Confirmation bias is a powerful mental force! Since you were subconsciously expecting a positive result, you indeed had a positive experience! | |
| linn sondek tt The so - called "upgrades" for the LP12 are just a way for Linn to extract money from the gullible! The plain basic LP12 has always sounded excellent! This I know from my 40 years experience with this TT! | |
| linn sondek tt The LP12 is a good value if you can find one used for about $1200 or less used - like I did! | |
| linn sondek tt When the LP12 was $1200 (originally $560 in 1976) it was a good value. Now at $5K + it is NOT! I am now on my second one, bought used from a seller in England for less than $1K used! Came with a Grace 707 arm. It is an earlier version without all ... | |
| Sadly missed manufacturers RGR - Robert Grodinski Research! | |
| How a pair of Mark Levinson ML2 stands with the best amps today ? Yes, they do! Designed by Tom Colangelo. 30 mono watts in the later versions @ 8 ohms and doubling to 60/4 ohms and 120/2 ohms! Ideal for the Quad 57's. Sold new for $3600 pair in 1977. A true and worthy classic design! | |
| Is this the end of HEA? HEA will become a marginal hobby like coin and stamp collecting (I do both!). The average person will be listening to a digital streamer connected wirelessly to Class D - powered speakers. And will own no physical media! | |
| Power Uber Alles ? I bet nobody here has one of these: a Will Vincent 45 SET built on a ST70 chassis with Edcor OPT's. A mere 1.75wpc! But capable of driving my Heresy's very well! Horses for courses! | |
| Turntables Pioneer PLX1000 direct drive ($700) is THE best TT under $1K! Read HR's review in Stereophile! I have one in my collection. Add a $150 Grado cartridge and a Bellari tube phonostage ($275) for a truly excellent LP playback system! | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Hana LE for $500 is an easy recommendation! Buy it new from a dealer! | |
| New Turntable pre amp A Bellari VP-130 tube preamp ($275) and a Grado cartridge ($90) would be a nice upgrade! |
