| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Anybody tried the gold dust/WD40 tweak for contact enhancement? | |
| Vacuum tube suppliers I have had good success buying vintage USA and European tubes from private sellers on EBAY. | |
| Vintage automatic turntable recommendations? Revox B790 DD Linear track. | |
| How thick should the front baffle of speakers be? 3/4 inch plywood as used in vintage Altec's and JBL's will work just fine! | |
| Dedicated Phono Cables required?? Whether a phono cable costs $10 or $1000 they ALL sound alike! I use whatever cable the tonearm maker provides. And live happily ever after! | |
| Would love some feedback / Denon DL-S1 / phono match / cart recomendations Keep the Cinemag and try it with cartridge into the ML's mm phono input. After a trial listening period (hours, days, weeks) unplug it and try the cartridge into the ML's mc phono input. Go through another listening period. By then you should know... | |
| lush cartridge under $1500 used(?) I recommend a Coral 777. Same mc cartridge imported by Jim Bongiorno in the late 70's. Sold as the GAS Sleeping Beauty. Available with 3 stylus profiles: spherical, super elliptical and shibata. Prices then were: $180, $200 and $240. I bought the ... | |
| Harbeth blog Thank you willemj for the link to Alan Shaw's new blog "ahoy-from-the-engine-room". Always good to have an "objective" focus in discussions instead of "my golden ears tell me it is so"! Scientific truth always trumps magical beliefs! | |
| Harbeth M30.1+Luxman LX-380 & Audio Note AN-E/SPe Oto SE Sig 1+ willemj! I own Snell E's and J's. These are the direct progenitors of the Audio Note E's and J's. They work best a bit out into the room - not in corners! Woofers are SEAS paper cones. They sound better and more dynamic with SS watts, rather th... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations, please. I recommend a Linn Sondek - secondhand about $1500. I own one and yes indeed it has that "MAGIC" sound (which has kept it in the top rank of TT's for decades!). And from my experience NOT at all difficult to set up! Mine is the second one that I ... | |
| Sonist Audio Concerto 4 Speakers... performance questions You need MORE power! 15 watts are not enough with those speakers! Musical peaks can require 10X the average power level to avoid clipping distortion. Get an integrated amp with 100+ watts - an NAD is an easy recommendation! | |
| Sony STR-DE305 Amp The Sony STR-DE305 is a two-channel receiver and will work well. It also has a phono stage if you wish to add a turntable. If you don't plan on using FM/AM then an integrated amp would be a better choice (Sony, Pioneer, Marantz, Yamaha, NAD ...). | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report Meat Puppets "To High To Die" | |
| Just an outlet for music lyrics that have meaning to you at the moment... "Life is like a beanstalk, isn't it?" From Procul Harum's "In Held Twas In I" | |
| Need Tonearm help for a Thorens TD124 Mark II The SME arm will match well with the Denon 103D (I have this cartridge in my collection, along with a 103, 103R, 103 Gold Anniversary, 301 and 304). I prefer and use step-up transformers with mc cartridges. The plinth is important for getting the ... |
