| Cartridge Damaged, need advise on getting new I will say again that i think retipping is a good choice if finances are an issue. I’d rather have a top cartridge retipped than a brand new inferior cartridge. @chakster did you read my last post? I had an emt tsd 15 retipped by Soundsmith. Im ac... | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? On a better note. Our hobby is awesome! Top quality music reproduction is so satisfying that I believe new younger audiophiles with full the space. It’s funny to say that I’ve always felt a younger audiophile, since the 80’s. Now I’m 54 and still ... | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? @geoffkait Fitness facilities are suspending payments here in Canada. If they don’t, members will cancel or put stop payments. Any business like mine is going to have trouble. Most businesses can just close and most expenses go away. Other than p... | |
| Cartridge Damaged, need advise on getting new I had Soundsmith do 3 retips for me over the years. I wouldn’t expect them to be better. Maybe as good as original if your lucky. But all three i had done sounded different than original. I even did a direct comparison between a retip emt tsd15 an... | |
| Best cartridge for very old worn vinyl @howardalex I also have a smart tractor. I use a ikeda it407 and i always have to twist the cartridge in the headshell. I don't see how it would be possible to ever use an spu in fixed headshell with it. I see photos of this all the time though. L... | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? Thanks Audiogon. I love reading and occasionally participating in the forum too. I think Audiogon will benefit. | |
| How will the COVID-19 pandemic affect sites like Audiogon? I own a fitness facility and the business could be financially screwed, having to continue paying the lease with no revenue. I have recently spent money on my system and am so happy for it. It’s my only escape in what is going on right now. I’ve b... | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital @mijostynComparing analog to digital cell phones has got to be one of the worst examples for argument I’ve heard yet. | |
| van den Hul Colibri, Koetsu Rosewood Signature, SoundSmith Sussurro Mk ii Chakster is right. It will still play and probably sound ok, but not it’s best with a light arm. I have had Denon 103’s and only got mediocre sound. Always wondered why all the hype. Similar compliance to Koetsu. When I got a 12” Ikeda (heavy arm... | |
| van den Hul Colibri, Koetsu Rosewood Signature, SoundSmith Sussurro Mk ii You should really listen to them as I don’t think you know there sound. The Koetsu and Colibri are both excellent but complete opposites in sound. | |
| best phono stage under 10k @car123 I'm curious. How did you find it changed the sound going through the step ups vs bypassing them on your Steelhead?Steve. | |
| Vinyl vs. top-notch digital @mikelavigne Wow. That’ sounds like an impressive sounding vinyl setup you have now. I heard tape at your place many years ago and was very impressed. That was my only real experience with hearing tape. I always thought 1/4” tape was regarded as... | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 The other question about what I said about Lyra. They are awesome sounding cartridges. But I find only with awesome sounding records. If your record collection isn’t up to it like most Indian music, you’ll find you’ll not be enjoying it. In compar... | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 @sdrsdrsdr Thanks for the tips about Indian music. Which TT does he use? Pls explain why the Lyra is not good? I am trying to learn and understand. Demo is a problem as I live in rural area. I live in Wheelersburg, OH. I am happy to travel to demo... | |
| Best Tonearm and Cartridge for 4K or under for restored Garrard 301 I really wouldn’t recommend anything Lyra for Indian music. |
