| Time for new used cartridge I am just sending one off to Soundsmith, 12-14 week wait at present. | |
| Raw drivers.... This is a good one for large kits, www.wilmslow-audio.co.uk. Also drivers not common in US. | |
| Passive Preamp works with Dynavector p75? It worked with my Passion Ultimate passive but my Meridian 605s only need .5 volt for full output. | |
| About to pull trigger on JA Michell I was a Michell dealer in the past and found their products to be very good. I currently have a Denon 110 which I have used in the VPI tables I sell now. Hi FI Choice found the 110 to be slightly better than the 160 so I would go that way. I got m... | |
| MC cartridges for Linn lp12/Naim Aro combo Take a look at the Audio Technica 33 that is selling on ebay for about $360. I may get one of those myself as I had a basement flood and my Denon 304 was damaged in moving it out. The Supex is worth retiping also, I use to sell them years ago, the... | |
| NOS cartridges Rayr2, If you think the Shures were the best cartridges ever available there is not much more to say. I have been in audio since 1962 myself. Since my PhD is in the History of Science I have some slight acquaintance with it, especially with regard... | |
| NOS cartridges While I ceased being a dealer for some years I am now one again and I certainly do not consider myself lost in todays audio. I have been a dealer for Supex, Ortofon, Grace, Shure , Sumiko and others in the past and now am a Dynavector and Van den ... | |

| Review: Millennium M-CD-Mat Tweak I think it is very system dependent, after making MANY changes to my system since I wrote the above I am currently not using it but may again in the future. | |
| NOS cartridges I hardly think that I belong to Raul's posse considering the disagreements we have had in the past. As I said I use older cartridges all the time, in a recent test in HIFICRITIC a 18 year old Shure V-15, put in as a reference, outscored several NE... | |
| Marantz reliability? Holy Dyna 120 , Batman!!! I haven't heard of 4 of ANYTHING failing since the 60's. I suspect that he MAY have a fault elsewhere in his system causing this. That said , anything is possible. | |
| Mapleknoll Questions/ Trouble shooting This is exactly what I meant, they are a full time job; yours if you choose to accept it as they use to say on MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. | |
| Mapleknoll Questions/ Trouble shooting Give up. A friend of mine who designs and builds electronics from scratch has one and I don't think he has set it up in years. When he had it set up it took all his talent, which is considerable, just to keep it running. When it is running it is a... |
