| Equal or better tonearm than Jelco for like amount of money Yes, the upper end Jelco's are more expensive.My TK-850L MKII was just north of $1000 with shipping, this was the best price I can find. The fit and finish on these new arms are excellent, I would think there is very limited number of MKII's avail... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? In my case, most of the records that I play are new re-issues. I use an anti-static fiber brush and zerostat, but these are only marginally effective. The VPI vacuum doesn't get much work unless I've picked up used records from the local bookstore... | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? Will someone kindly provide a link for the "Atmasphere phono overload" thread, I'm unable to find the relating thread.Many thanks, Anthony | |
| Jelco tonearms closes Sad to hear a company with such long history going away. | |
| Are these Duelund wires good for interconnects- Those cables would do okay for interconnects but there are much better design options for interconnects at a lower cost. The conductors and dielectric used are meh, and I don't see an attempt to shield the cable in any kind of way. The jacket choi... | |
| Power Cable Suggestions Power cord is one of the more incomprehensible things I've experienced in audio. How can a cable that is not a part of the audio signal chain make a difference in sound...but it does.I've tested a good number of different designs and I do find pow... | |
| Final Report, Canare 4S11 Speaker Cable The Canare line of cables have excellent fundamental designs and are built for professionals. The quality and consistency of their product are among the best I've seen, they are not designed to be a tone control like many high-end cables. It is ve... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @topoxforddoc Yeah, I thought long and hard before passing that Sony up. I'm good with my Ampex ATR-102 and two Studers. There's some work I need to put into the rest of my equipment and have them all working at an optimal level is my focus. | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @topoxforddoc Very nice collection of professional equipment you have there! I had a chance to pick up a Sony APR 5003 at a good price but had to pass it up, how does it compare to the others you have? I have no room left for another large piece o... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @topoxforddoc wondering what your tape playback equipment consists of? | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @tomic601 +1 for the recommendation of Opus 3 sampler. I especially like volume 3, the first cut "House of Rising Sun" is worth the whole tape. Truly fantastic music and sound quality, highly recommended as a first purchase for tape newbie! | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @rauliruegas I like the Sota mat and Basis Audio reflex clamp recommendation.Your ideas on how I can improve my quality levels are more or less your personal preference. I'm more satisfied with my vinyl setup now than ever before and it performs a... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @rauliruegas I'm glad you enjoy vinyl as much as you do and own 6K+ LP's, that's a lot more than what I have for sure.You may not be looking for an analog alternative but this post might pique someone else's interest, or at the least brings awaren... | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? @hadelman excellent first post, sir! | |
| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? Need a RTR remote, this guy makes them for many models. I use one with my Studer A807.
