| Technics 1300G on it's way !! Congrats on the new turntable. You are going to love it. I have had the Technics 1200G for over 6 years and love it. I have started collecting different phono cartridges for my table as it’s easy with the detachable headshell. The PRAT with a... | |
| Any piece of equipment you currently dream of ? I would love the MBL Extreme speakers. | |
| The best opening act you've ever seen & heard? Chrissy Steele. Opening act for Jethro Tull in mid 90’s. Best female rocker I ever saw and what a voice. | |
| LoFi So, what is broken or the problem with your system? | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? My daily driver is a Shure V15 Type IV with Jico sas b stylus with boron cantilever. I prefer it to my more expensive moving coil cartridges and my other MM cartridges. | |
| Balanced vs RCA preamps Ayre is all solid state, no tubes. The OP wants balanced and rca on a tube preamp. | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III @richardbrand , It is well worth the wait. I have an AT VM540, the Shure is better. | |
| Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III You will love the sound, I put the Jico stylus with the boron cantilever on my Shure V15 Type 4 cartridge. It sounds amazing on my Rock collection. | |
| 2025 Rock-N-Roll Hall Of Fame Nominees The HOF waited for ALL of The MC5 to die before giving them their due. As Roger Waters said, “they can all F off at the bar”. Shame on them, politics is alive and well at the RR HOF. | |
| USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole When I had a separate DAC, I always got the best results with one of the Wireworld Starlight USB cables. I tried a few from DH Labs, Kimber and Audioquest. The Wireworld was far superior but that was back then. | |
| Dumb question......why do you need a preamp? I have 4 source components, turntable, tuner, SACD player and music server/player. I need a preamp. My 72 year old ears are not that good any longer, I use tone controls now. Never did before and that was dumb, suffering through some God-awful rec... | |
| Directional wires/cables @jea48 , honestly, I don’t remember, it was 50 years ago. I would say through the wire. I don’t know if it was even covered. I always took it as a given the signal goes through the wire. I think at the time, Monster Cable had just debuted. I ... | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series I would like to try the Luxman mat but it’s a lot of money if I do not like it. | |
| Directional wires/cables Wow, all this technobabble is giving me a splitting headache. I received my EE in 1976. Wire directions never came up in any of our studies. Perhaps it wasn’t known at the time? The school, Roger Williams University had an excellent Electrical ... | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series @atmasphere, I questioned the Oracle dealer I purchased it from, they said they don’t recommend sticking it to the platter, so I did not. Who knew? I wish I had the kahunas to stick it down. I do love my HRS lightweight record weight though. I ... |
