| Kenwood KD 650, Stanton cartridge I will give you $50 for it plus shipping. | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge @richardbrand, I am using a Jico stylus on my Shure V15-4 cartridge. VN45HE SAS/B, it cost less than $300 from LP Gear, received it in less than 5 days and I am on the east coast. It has the carbon brush | |
| Warm, flexible, cheap-ish cables? For speaker cables I recommend the Canare 4S11 speaker cables. For around $100.00 you will get a fairly neutral cable that sounds amazing. I switched from expensive cables to these 5 or so years ago and never looked back. Break in is long, arou... | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3A noise @carlsbad2 , the preamps are not mass produced as the company is extremely small. The wait time is usually 6 months or more. I believe Art Ferris is either retired or semi retired. | |
| Audible Illusions Modulus 3A noise I have owned 3 AI tube preamps since 1994. I had the original Modulus 3, the 3A, and the 3B. None of them gave me tube noise or hiss. The key is to get your tubes directly from AI, or find matched sets of 6H23NEB tubes for the preamp, they are... | |
| McIntosh MCT cable issue Call the dealer | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge @richardbrand On the VM540 ML, I used the recommended weight in the owners manual, not sure on the Shure, I will have to check. I will get back to you on that, I’m not home at the moment. My Shure does have the brush. Add a half gram extra if bru... | |
| Looking for a Replacement for AT VM740ML Cartridge I second the AT VM540ML. I purchased one and use it in rotation on my Technics SL1200G turntable. For Rock, it is amazing and I think it sounds better than the cartridge you are using. Yours seems to have tipped up highs. I also have a Shure V... | |
| Help :( Speakers making constant static sound I cannot figure it out There are no rectifier tubes in your amp, it uses solid state rectification. | |
| XLR cable placement I am a believer that the most important and best cable should be between the preamp and amp, then the most used source and so on. | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles Those speakers are the ugliest I have ever seen. Unless you have a dedicated listening room where no wife or GF would dare enter, you will never buy them. They look like pro sound speakers and I don’t care how good anyone says they are and sound... | |
| Black Ice F159 or Gold Note PH-10 ? No experience with either but I do own a Gold Note Vasari Gold MM phono cartridge. It sounds amazing. I would buy the Gold Note over the Black Ice(formerly Jolida)because I owned a Jolida CD player 10 years ago and it was nothing but trouble. I... | |
| Audiophile Equipment Repair? @devinplombier, I do not own a motorcycle, I own 2 vehicles which I am not ever going to work on. Where do you get off saying we should be able to fix our own stuff? At my age, they aren’t even steady enough to solder, so by your thinking, I sho... | |
| Audio racks that can handle heavy components I use the Solid Steel S3 series of audio racks. It holds my 123 pound McIntosh power amp with no problems. I believe each shelf holds either 125 or 150 pounds each and depending on the number of shelves the price tops out at $999.99. I purchase... | |
| A question about trim rings around speaker drivers @roxy54, Sandy Gross, the desiger of GE Triton Reference speakers told me after I asked him at the 2017 RMAF. He was demonstrating their new subs at the time and I got his ear and asked. A few questions regarding the speakers as I was waiting for... |
