| Phono cartridge suggestions sought You should be getting more than 250 hours use from the 103. Get a bottle of Stylast and apply it before playing an LP side. Afterwards use a piece of Magic Eraser to clean the tip. This should extend stylus life considerably! | |
| SME 3009 Series III Haters And the Trifecta was scoring a NOS Jico SAS replacement stylus for the Shure around the same time! | |
| SME 3009 Series III Haters I always liked the Series III when it appeared back in the 80's! I was lucky to find mine already mounted on a nice TD160 (Ebay sale). And the VxMR brand new NOS from a previous seller! Probably THE best MM ever! | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! +1 almarg! I too had that thought about tubes coming loose while being moved! | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Let the OP send some pictures of the back of the preamp, back of the amp and back of the speakers, showing how he has them connected! | |
| Tri-amp 3 way speakers, still worth if using a multi-channel amp? (HiFI Stereo) Just buy three stereo amps (Carver TFM 15CB) on Ebay cheap, add a good pro x-over and you’ll be good to go! I have that same Carver amp (Goodwill $25!) and it is indeed excellent! I have it connected to my KLH Nines and Ohm Sound Cylinders. The id... | |
| SME 3009 Series III Haters I have a Series III on a Thorens 160. It is awaiting my Shure V15mkVxMR. That will be a killer combination! | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Use the 4 ohm taps on the amp because those Kef's dip to low impedances! | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! If the speakers are not in phase the sound will suffer - poor imaging and lack of bass! | |
| Audio Research VT100 MK1 and LS15 HELP!!! Nothing wrong with using cheap cables! Make sure both speakers are connected in the same polarity from the amp - positive to positive, negative to negative. + to + and - to - ! | |
| can someone answer me this..... Avoid new manufactured tubes! Stick with NOS vintage tubes. Especially small-signal types like the 12A*7 and 6DJ8/6922 types! These front-end tubes are very critical to SQ in preamps and power amps! | |
| VM540ML cartridge - what phono preamp is a good match I suspect that the Sony's phono stage has inferior overload (headroom). That has been a problem with many phono circuits! The phono stage in my RGR 4 was designed with this factor in consideration - and can readily handle the "hot" combination of ... | |
| VM540ML cartridge - what phono preamp is a good match Try a Bellari VP130 tube phono stage into the Sony! USA-made and $225 - $275 on EBay. With this one 12AX7 unit you can easily select different "flavors" of tubes! | |
| Tuner power cable ? I see that since you are already a believer in SQ of AC cords just go to Audio Advisor and buy a $99 Pangea cord. Excellent quality - no need to spend more! | |
| Need recommendations for a Step Up Transformer for Denon 103 Any of the Denon SUT's will work fine. I have one in use with a 103R. Along with a Bellari and a Quicksilver plus three others (Sony T10 and two custom-built with mic transformers). Loading is a matter of personal preference for mc's - experiment ... |
