| additional processing and customs charges on goldring 1006 or nagaoka mp150 @chakster I own quite a few MM and MI cartridges. Empire, Stanton, ADC, Grado, B&O ... The best being the NOS Shure V15 mkV. And I have over a dozen vintage TT's: Empire, RekoKu... | |
| additional processing and customs charges on goldring 1006 or nagaoka mp150 @chakster My cartridge of choice for many years was a Fidelity Research FR1-mk3F (line-contact stylus, aluminum cantilever, silver coils). Used in a Lustre GST-1 arm mounted on an Ariston RD11... | |
| 1978 pioneer sx-980 No thanks! My Carver Receiver from the mid-80's would kill the Pioneer! | |
| Trying vinyl, need some help! MC cartridges beat MM and MI cartridges for sound quality and information retrieval from those vinyl grooves - contrary to what the untutored say! My experience goes back 40 years! Limited budget? Try the Denon 103R on your Pioneer - I have the sa... | |
| Trying vinyl, need some help! Get rid of that SP4! A bad sounding SS preamp - and an embarrassment for ARC! Get an SP6 instead - all tube and still a contender against today's multi-kilobuck preamps! I OWN one - a TRUE classic from the Bill Johnson era! | |
| additional processing and customs charges on goldring 1006 or nagaoka mp150 I have bought stuff from Japan, China, Canada, Britain, Germany, Lithuania, Argentina, India ... without ANY custom charges! Regarding your TT: I too have a recently acquired Pioneer PLX1000. I use a Denon 103R mc cartridge on it. Way better than ... | |
| Nuprime vs preamp rebuild. Keep the SP3! It is a TRUE classic and worth some restoration! But don't send it to Audio Research - they will charge way too much! Even in its present state it can compete with today's top preamps! Just changing the power supply caps and adding a... | |
| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? Thumbs up to that beautiful red Thorens/SME/Ortofon listed on this site! | |
| Vibration noise from toroid transformer. Is it possible to get rid of it? Nice looking SET amp, antanas! | |
| Vibration noise from toroid transformer. Is it possible to get rid of it? I agree with no romance! Unlike SS diodes a tube rectifier can only handle a limited amount of capacitance. What is your first capacitor after the GZ37? | |
| First investment into a turntable There is a RekoKut K33 with original arm for sale now on EBAY. $195 + $63 shipping from Illinois. Belt drive with a high-torque motor. I have one like this in my collection of vintage TT's. Build and sound quality far better than any of today's ch... | |
| Best Audio Show RMAF in October! | |
| Bi Amping my B&W Matrix 800s There is NO sonic benefit to biamping your B&W 800's over what you have! Adding an active crossover and amp will only disturb the coherency between the drivers that B&W so carefully designed! | |
| What's your OTL tube amp experience and suggestion? I have owned Julius Futterman H3AA Mono's since 1981. And a recently acquired Harvard Music H3 stereo. Speakers used are KLH Nines and Quad 57's. No reliability issues over all this time! Superb sound - more "life-like" than any other tube or tran... | |
