| Where can I find a Benz lps cartridge for sale? Wow. I had no idea. I listen to an LP-s every morning and I had no idea what a privilege it is. To be honest, I found the cartridge hard to implement. The combination of high weight and high compliance was hard for me to tame. Thankfully, I had a ... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl Technical talk of waveforms and the presumed mastering process aside, there are literally hundreds of accounts so far from people who are actually listening to these discs and are thrilled. At some point, you have to admit that counts for somethin... | |
| Led Zep Reissue on vinyl As one who was hesitant I'll say I'm pleasantly surprised by these reissues. For more than comprehensive comparisons I would also recommend the Hoffman forum. Suffice it to say that I enjoy these a lot more than the scratched up originals and earl... | |
| Wet Cleaning the Stylus Search Magic Eraser in the forums. Doug Deacon does a great job of explaining it. It may sound crazy but it's no joke. It's all I've been using for years. I don't do the stylus drop. I use thinly cut strips essentially as a mini stylus brush. It's... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? I should have more sense than to jump in on a flame war and I make no claim of engineering genious but here's my opinion. I'm a big fan of the Mklll. I own two and have enjoyed them every day. One of the best designs ever? Probably. It's too bad t... | |
| Vinyl ratings for audiophiles The new MoFi release of Jerry Garcia and David Grisman is one of the best sounding recordings I've bought recently and may be one of the best I have period. | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? The Live in Paris LP is really good. If you like that sonically try a Stockfisch Sara K LP, Waterfalls or In the Groove. These German LPs may be digitally sourced, I really don't know or care. They sound significantly better than any Diana Krall r... | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Thanks. No idea how I missed that. Based on what I read there I cancelled my pre-order for these reissues. I may try one later but if they turn out like the Beatles did recently they're just not necessary. | |
| Back on Black: LED ZEP 1-3 Fromunda, I find nothing on Analog Planet about these upcoming reissues. Are you relating something you've actually seen or making a prediction? | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Just dropped my MKIII off at Chris's this weekend for NG upgrades and spent a couple hours seeing a few things he has in the works. As impressive as the plinths are, they're really doing some amazing metal machining. Constantly looking for ways to... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Sorry, I forgot to mention that the Ortofon m20 fl Super, if you can find one, works quite well on the Reed 3P as well. In fact, Dobbins used to recommend the m20 fl super to buyers with the Reed arm until they could afford something more expensiv... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? No experience with Koetsu. I can speak for the Reed 3P arm as probably the best arm I've ever had. I use mine with the Benz LP-s which is a great cartridge as well but the 3P is the only arm I have that's kept it under control(very heavy cartridge... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? The projector is a Runco actually and is old enough it really could be upgraded. It still has a good picture though and at some point you have to consider yourself lucky just to have what you do. My wife can only take so much.You'll love love play... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? No problem, I myself own two MKllls. If I were single, I'm sure I'd have an idler drive and maybe even a DP-100. Still, I don't think a well implemented MKlll can be beat. Every time I see one up for sale it pains me that I can't buy another one, ... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Audiofun, Sounds like you're seeking out good sounding vinyl to play on your new table. Consider the Stockfisch titles for sale at Elusive Disc. Any of their samplers or any Sara K title (Waterfalls or In The Groove) will sound amazing on your sys... |
