| Tekton DI Monitors Don't stand up! Seated listening only! I doubt that the DI's sound as good as my JSE Infinite Slope two-ways! | |
| HiFi newbie - Thoughts on pairing vintage amp with modern speakers/TT? The Line Magnetic amp has an output impedance of several ohms! It will not have a flat response into the 093's (or any speakers with a frequency dependent impedance curve). Ohm's Law rules here! Essentially the LM amp will act as a tone control wi... | |
| HiFi newbie - Thoughts on pairing vintage amp with modern speakers/TT? The Sansui 9090 is an excellent amp and will work well with your 093's. I'd prefer it over a tube amp (better reliability long-term). Don't let the tube cultists try to dissuade you from buying the 9090! A tube amp starts to wear out from the minu... | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry -1 invictus005! The PLX1000 is not a cheap piece of cr*p as you seem to think! You vote for Trump, eh? Just wait until we have a worldwide depression because of his idiotic tariff plan! Smoot- Hawley all over again! | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry +1 yogiboy! Thank you for the tally! I've lost count! Just remembered that I have a rare CEC DD too! Definitely an OCD compulsion to collect things - you should see my guitar collection! My father was the same way - might be inherited! Interested ... | |
| Today’s junk, tomorrow’s collectibles. CD players are worth collecting (if still working) and priced low! I have 6 and 2 changers. CAL, Denon, JVC, Marantz, NAD, Pioneer. Changers: Panasonic and Sony SACD. Also Toshiba's first TOTL DVD player (plays CD's)! I'm sticking with one-box pla... | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry So there you have it, an eclectic collection of vintage TT's! My favorites remain the Ariston's and the Linn Sondek! But I still like and use the PLX1000 with the Denon 103R. | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry I started with the Ariston RD11S and SME arm in 1977 ($270 and $150). Added a second Ariston (earlier production pre-Linn) a year or two ago. Ariston made Sondeks for their first two years before Ivor Tiefenbrun moved out and opened his own factor... | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry Or the four Empires? The two Rek-O-Kuts (one belt, one idler)? The Kenwood idler (rare!)? The Bogen B61 idler? The two Thorens (125 and 160)? The highly-modded AR? The Fairchild belt drive? The Sony servo belt drive? The Kenwood KD500? The VPI HW1... | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry I never thought of ranking my TT collection! I suppose I'd put the Dual 1209 at the bottom - though it is still a very good TT! And the Dual 1229 above it. The best might be either the Revox 790 or the Sony DD Biotracer (the only TT I'd trust with... | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry I bought the PLX1000 after reading Herb Reichert's review in Stereophile. He liked it and thought it represented good value for the price. I concur! I wanted a new, factory-fresh TT to try out because (except for my first Ariston RD11S) every TT w... | |
| So what’s the future look like +1 n80! I recommend buying used vintage gear - there's a lot of it around! | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry The only thing the PLX1000 lacks is a four-figure price tag for snob appeal! | |
| Pioneer PLX 1000 ancestry I have a PLX1000 in my collection of TT's. It is indeed a fine machine and unbeatable at its list price. So what if it has a pitch slider! I don't use it! SQ is at least as good as my vintage SL1200. How about all those cell phones made in China! ... | |
| Would you buy a Dahlquit-10 if one was available for purchase near you Also, don't overlook the DQ-20 and DQ-30! Different driver arrangement (vertical vs. horizontal) but excellent SQ competitive with today's big-buck speakers! |
