| Please recommend used tonearm under $1K Raul, anytime you would like me to offer YOU unsolicited advice on your system I will be glad to do so. You seem to think your opinion is the only thing that counts and that the oftener you repeat your fantasies the more true they become.Whenever ... | |
| Please recommend used tonearm under $1K What is the mass of the Lustre without headshell compared to the 9" 750? It is my impression that the 750 is less but couldn't find the definitive answer. I used the 801 many years ago and it was not among the top arms THEN, let alone now. Have yo... | |
| SME V or Graham 2.2 on Michell Gyro SE A clarification, I meant to say that IF you decided on the Graham I would get the SME base configuration if offered a choice between it and the standard mounting one. | |
| SME V or Graham 2.2 on Michell Gyro SE I use to sell the earlier Gyros and had a IV and a 309 later on other tables. I currently have a 2.2 on a Basis 2001. My impression from this is that either would work very well. They are two of the best arms available and I personally would be mo... | |
| Speakers for Krell s300i The Krell should be able to drive about anything; find speakers that you like the sound of, don't worry about the Krell, it is not sensitive to speaker types or impedance's in the way some amps are. It is a much better amp than the Denon and revea... | |
| Please recommend used tonearm under $1K Here is one new, I just purchased the 9" version. I showed it to a friend who used to sell audio and he guessed that it was a $2000 arm. I use to have the Lustre, which is a good arm and has VTA adjustment while playing. I would go with the Jelco ... | |
| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout You will have to add weight to the head-shell or change the counterweight with 4g weight cartridges. Very low compliance cartridges are also not ideal although they will work. Don't confuse cartridge weight with compliance, it is the relationship ... | |
| Adding a new 20Amp outlet for my amp Have at least 2 done at the same time and get some good quality boxes. I use FIM, which I sell, but there are many good ones, Oayide, PS, etc. While these may vary in sound ANY of them represent a huge jump over hardware store boxes. Use 12 gauge ... | |
| Subwoofer guys - House curve or flat? I have mine set to start rolling off on the top end at 25 Hz so tastes differ. I suppose that is why REL calls theirs a sub bass rather than a sub woofer. | |
| Schematics I would think the proper course would be to provide them when the unit goes out of production. When I was a Meridian dealer I could not get a schematic for the 605 amps I was using but I recently requested and received one as they are no longer in... | |
| What is the best arm for a Linn Soundeck 12 I am fixing up an older Linn and am replacing the Grace 707 [which is a good match] with a Jelco 750D. Some non Linn arms will use the same cut out as Linn,check specs on Vinyl Engine. I have used the Ittok, it is a good arm. I chose the Jelco to ... | |
| Differences in sound as related to watts? You have to look at speaker efficiency as well, sound level depends on both. | |
| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout Not really a low mass arm designed for high compliance cartridges. It is about 10 grams in mass, which is about the same as the SME V and most arms of standard length and without detachable head-shells. Low mass arms have a mass of 5 grams and und... | |
| MM Cartridge for VPI Scout I used the Ortofon RED in mine, requires extra weight in headshell or lighter counterweight from VPI. | |
| Has anyone heard or tried the new Naim Dac? A review just came out in HIFICRITIC. Vary favorable, it was largely insensitive to transports, they tried several and there wasn't much difference. The best was a Meridian 200, which makes me happy as I have 2 and use them with my own DACs. How m... |
