| SME 3009 II w/ Linn Sondek My only fear with the Grace 707 is the headshell. I don't know if they are easily replaceable. Perhaps the 747 is better in this department?One of the Rega variants seems like a good way to go and would most likely perform well on a number of TT's... | |
| SME 3009 II w/ Linn Sondek I had my hands on a 707 recently, but sent it back as it was missing a part. Would a 707 be an upgrade to a Basik LV-X? If Im not mistaken, I think that the Grace requires a fairly high compliance cart?I'll avoid the SME - thanks for the info! - b... | |
| Report on SoundSmith Clearaudio Rebuild Now that you've had a while to break in your re-tipped Virtuoso, how are you liking it?I'm considering a re-tip on the same cartridge, but at the "stock" level repair.....not sure that I want to go the Ruby route. | |
| AES Six Pacs I'm probably comparing apples to oranges here, but I'm wondering how they would compare with the Cary CAD120s? | |
| Mofi Cleaners The reason I ask......I had a coupon for record cleaning products to use by 12/31....and after the horror of finding white stains on my 45rpm Blue Note re-issues that weren't there when I first got the LP's, I felt compelled to stock up on the cle... | |
| Mofi Cleaners Has anyone tried using the Mofi SDC and SRW between the Enzyme and final rinse, or is this totally counter-productive? | |
| White residue on stylus Has anyone found the Premier cleaner (or Enzymes, etc...) effective in removing the white stains on the Blue Note reissues? I never noticed any white stains on my LP's when first purchased, but over time I think the glue made it through the plasti... | |
| Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood -- Fernambuk vs. Ebony I am not familiar with the Fernambuk version of this cartridge, but I also have the Marantz TT w/the Ebony Virtuoso. I've actually had 2 of these carts - both had an Ebony upper section with a metal lower section. I'm not aware of an all-wood Virt... | |
| Digital Drum Kits I think that the drummer was probably Walfredo Reyes Jr. I saw him using a set of the Roland V-Drums on an "in the studio" TV program with Lindsay Buckingham recently. | |
| AES Six Pacs Thanks for the clarification on the updates/upgrades. I would definitely want a pair with the beefier trans and Jensen caps. | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Looks like I have alot of LP searching/purchasing ahead of me :)I'm going to try to work chronologically through some of the suggestions. I've located a CBS 1/2 speed version of Wendy Carlos' "Switched on Bach", so I'll be starting there. | |
| AES Six Pacs I was thinking that the Jensen caps would be a worthwhile upgrade. The binding posts that I've seen in some recent pics don't appear to be plastic, but who knows? I think that AES may have made some changes over the last few years - possibly upgra... | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Synthfreak - I'm mostly listening to vinyl these days, but would certainly go to CD's in the search for good music. There's just something about the sound of analog synths - that warmth and presence....a very "fat" sound - and vinyl seems like a g... | |
| Synth/Electronic LP recommendations Very cool guys - keep 'em coming! A number of these LP's/groups I've never heard of.How about some things that fall in the Prog or Avant Garde realm? I always liked the sound of analog synths on albums that I grew up with - Yes, ELP, early Genesis. | |
| Tube Rolling with MiniMax Thanks for the responses so far. I'm searching around for the RCA 5751's and Tung Sol 6x4. I think that I may have seen the Raytheon at "tubemonger." I've currently got a GE 6x4WA.Bill at MorningStar also recommended the TungSol blackplates or Tel... |
