| ZYX "House" Sound I have a ZYX Bloom 3 that I use on my VPI Scoutmaster in rotation with a couple of other carts. It's a killer cart for the price. | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 Got it installed but I've got a hum that I can't get rid of. Can't figure out where it's coming from. The Jolida was dead quiet. It almost sounds like it's picking up the transformer in the outboard power supply. Everything's grounded properly. Th... | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 Got it via UPS today. It's a really nice, well made unit. I'll probably hook it up tomorrow after I read the manual, get it set up for my cart, and decide which tubes I'm going to use in it. New toy, oh boy! 😎 | |
| Wayne's Audio Canary LOMC Cartridge I bought one also, but I haven't mounted it yet. Hopefully I'll get to it this weekend. It's appears to be very well made and I'm looking forward to hearing it. I'm curious as to who actually makes this cart. If it sounds as good as it looks, it's... | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 Yes it is. That’s one of the other carts I’ve got stashed. Went from the ART9 to the ART9XA and kept the ART9 for a spare. From what I’ve read about the Ares I can get about 12dB added gain by using four 12AX7s instead of two 12AX7s and two 12AU7s... | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 Bought a Rogue Audio Ares. Hope it has enough gain for the ART9xa. If it doesn't I've got other carts with 0.5mV output I can use. | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 I still play my vinyl two or three times a week. I still enjoy the black art of set up and the ritual of playback. Or maybe I’m just nuts. There are no dealers in my area to help with a sell off so I’ll have to take care of that myself. Does anyon... | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 Going on seven years for me. My knees aren't great but my lower back is absolutely junk. I've thought about getting set up for streaming and may do it next year if I'm still around. I really need to start thinking about downsizing as I can hear m... | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 I've never heard the Chinook. Are they as good as folks say they are? | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 You’re welcome. I’m retired and on a fixed income now so I have to spend wisely. I probably won’t get into streaming and just improve on what I have. I have hundreds of lps and hundreds of cds to keep me happy and occupied and don’t have much inte... | |
| Moving Up from a Jolida JD9 Thanks everyone. You've given me a lot to research and I do appreciate it. I'll get back to all of you after I've read up on what's been mentioned. Regards, Sam | |
| Wayne's Audio Canary LOMC Cartridge Legend has it that Senna was committing to memory all of Nige's dash readouts and anything else he could see in his cockpit. lol Probably true. It is tempting to try one. I listened to his YouTube videos he posted of it in action and it sounded v... | |
| BAT VK-D5SE Mistracking I've played two discs and haven't had any mistracking so far. One of them was mistracking quite a bit before but played perfectly this time. Fingers crossed. | |
| BAT VK-D5SE Mistracking AH, you’re asking about the DF-PMD100 upgrade chip that replaces the HDCD chip. Well. I couldn’t figure out which chip it’s supposed to replace. The instructions that came with it has a photo of the chip it replaces but it doesn’t match any chip t... | |
| BAT VK-D5SE Mistracking Got it out, cleaned and lubed as much of the rail as I could get to without disassembling everything. I was able to get to about 80% of it. Cleaned the laser lens. I cycled it from the first to the last track several times and have a cd playing th... |
