| Help choosing a new cartridge Thanks Islandmandan, I've been reading through that thread on the MintLP and it does seem like a worthwhile purchase.On the cartridge, I see a lot of people like the Dynavectors on VPI tables. I could probably swing a DV20XL, but I'm wondering if ... | |
| Another Crazy Audiophile Speaking of bubble levels, I was convinced my $3 home depot plastic bubble level was off, so I bought the fancy Clearaudio machined steel level. It's a little easier to read, but gives the same exact reading as my $3 home depot level. I guess I sh... | |
| Speaker cables.. Budget again.. With a twist... The Blue Jeans Belden speaker cables are great and cheap. I've switched them out of my system a couple of times for more expensive cables only to bring them back in and sell the more expensive ones. Their locking bananas are also very nice. | |
| $ 2500 -- Best Way to Spend It Today ? Buy the P5/10x5 and hit the record stores with the rest. | |
| Pop on turntable startup Thank you both for the help. I guess it's nothing to bother about. | |
| A question about the logic of interconnect cables Mrtennis,Blue Circle also sells amps/preamps and powercords. | |
| PS Audio Quintet Power Center - which powercord ? I'm using a signal cable magicpower cable on my Duet (same line as the Quintet, but smaller). You can pick one up used around here for $40. It works, but I didn't notice any difference in sound with the magicpower vs. the stock cord. | |
| Extending phono ground cable Yes, I have done this with success. Just use any piece of wire you have lying around--it won't affect the sound. Extending the RCA's would be a different story. You probably don't want 10 feet of cable between your tonearm and phono pre. | |
| Anyone switich to all Signal Cable wired system? I've always been happy with my Signal Cables. I used to use their Silver Resolution phono cable on my Scout until I bought a new phono stage and all of the sudden started getting RFI interference. Swapping that cable out for VPI's phono cable made... | |
| really inexpensive power cords Yeah, flexibility is a real issue. I replaced a couple of Power Cords mostly in order to clean up some of the cables behind the stereo and get the interconnects and speaker cables away from touching the power cables. The cords I got however are no... | |
| Low Cost Turntable I would also recommend the Rega. It's a good simple table with a lot of options for inexpensive future upgrades. But I'm sure you'd also be happy with the base model. As a former Music Hall MMF-5 owner, I think the Rega arm is the dealbreaker. | |
| Authenticating Autographed Items? Off topic a bit, but a few years ago a buddy of mine and I wandered into an antiques store. In one case they had records autographed by all the Beatles, all the Stones, Jimi Hendrix, and I'm sure more that I don't remember. The rest of the store w... | |
| Swapping the MMF 5 for an SL-1210M5G ***No. This is not normal. I've never heard what you describe on any turntables I've owned.***I think he's referring to hearing music come off the needle. Perfectly normal. | |
| Idea to reduce RFI I had a similar problem with my turntable and switched phono cables and the RFI disappeared just like that. So it may be as simple as changing an interconnect or two in your system. BTW, I tried ferrite clamps on various cables and it never did an... |
