| Benz Ebony LP loading Why a step up transformer?? My preamp is certainly capable..an Ayre K1xe. | |
| Pls Recommend Grado Green vs. Red P-Mount for Me? I would get the best cartridge I could afford. You will always hear a difference - even if your turntable was a Webcor. You have to make the decission if audio quality means anything. | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading Thanks for the information on the LP. Because of you, I am running it now at 47k. The bass and mids are much better, but the highs are much too strident now. I touched base with Ayre the other day who is sending me a few different loads to try. Th... | |
| Pls Recommend Grado Green vs. Red P-Mount for Me? You really shouldn't be afraid of the quality on=line suppliers. AudioAdvisor, MusicDirect, etc. If you just have an occasional need for vinyl, then anything will do. The P-mount requires an adapter (it may come with the cartridge - youd better in... | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? Ok - you piqued my interest, and I had nothing to do, so I played around with the damping in my arm. It is the 10.5i that I just installed on my Superscoutmaster which had previously been a 9 Sig. I have a Benz Micro Ebony LP, and discovered that ... | |
| An Audiophile Goal Nice, Padrillo | |
| Best results using what fulids with VPI or Steam cleaning is really the best way to clean a record. I just use my Nitty Gritty to vacuum off the condensed water. | |
| To damp or not to damp JMW-9 Sig ? I asked that very question to Harry Weisfield of VPI and to Musical Surroundings. I have a Benz LP. Musical Surroundings said I can try but they recommnd very little if any. Harry said basically the same thing for my cratridge, but recommends damp... | |
| Raven owners - how's your mid-range? Stuff happens. I had a Superscoutmaster with the 9 inch arm into which I had installed a Benz Ebony H. The sound was absolutely gorgeous with deep subteranean effortless lows, huge sound stage with layers of depth, air, and all the good stuff. You... | |
| Move from Benz H20 to Denon DL301 You must know that the Ace comes in 3 colors and corresponding outputs. If you like the Ace call Musical Surroundings (the importer) and see if you can trade or change to an even higher quality cartridge. They have a very liberal trade up/exchange... | |
| An Audiophile Goal My goal when I listen to music is to be moved by the music. Whether the system goes from 20-20000 hz. has nothing to do with it..as long as the system can reproduce the music in a musical way. A big problem with many systems is that not the big dy... | |
| Benz Ebony LP loading I am using the 499 ohm resistor in the Ayre. After checking I noticed the cartridge was a cats whisker off of the exact setting of the overhang template. I can't believe that such a small correction could improve the sound so much! | |
| Good turntables w/o record clamps Rega sounds better with no clamp | |
| VPI Super Platter I was sent some of this super grease. It comes in what looks like a hypodermic needle type of plunger package. It has VPI written on it, but it is just a label, and am sure they get it elsewhere. If there is a difference when applied, it sure wasn... | |
| How do you download your LP's to your computer? That USB table is availabe at Cosco. It looks like Matel Toy Co. made it. I personally wouldnt want to put my records on such a beast. |
