| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, I personally think it makes sense to keep one's TTs away from air-borne resonance in any case, but this could be one place where the mass-loading would help to overwhelm air-borne vibration if there was no way to avoid some influence. The Ja... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob,A few of my TTs have the isolation built in (Denon DP100, Exclusive P3). The Technics SP-10Mk3 stock came with similar footers. I have a number of magnetic flotation footers from Yamamoto and Sony and have used those under many tables. Curren... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, and others who have used the systems, How much of the difference comes from the plinthlessness and how much from the use of the Audio Technica footers? Did you try the footers underneath the plinthed SP-10Mk2 as well against the unplinthed S... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew, I'd have to agree with others saying that something was not right. A properly set-up UNIverse will have absolutely no issues with bass. In general, I find the UNIverse's treble extension to be quite good as well.Now back to your regularly-sch... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,I agree that there is so much difference that getting to where we like is bound to involve different tools.FWIW, titanium cantilevers were, as far as I have read, made first by Technics in the very early 70s. The first generation 205C had a ti... | |
| biwire trick I vote Dcrugby's post as Post Of The Day. Almarg, I can no longer count the times I have learned something new from your posts. Audiogon moderators,Would you consider a 'Post of the Day' button/link one could push next to each post? | |
| "What's Your Best Price?" Coltrane1, I end up not caring whether I put OBO or not. Most of the things I put out for sale have no reasonable 'blue book' value, and I generally put them out at lower prices than ebay or any other seller value I can find. I ignore lowballers. ... | |
| Wadia gets acquired I would assume it means they continue to get made. Look what happened to Audio Research after Fine Sounds bought it. They're still there. Given that pro forma, AFTER the transaction, NewCo has $30mm in revenues (from Sonus Faber, ARC, and Wadia) s... | |
| How popular is Wire Transfer..... Coltrane1, I think Buconero117 has a point. For any decent turntable, I ALWAYS go to pick it up myself (except in one case where I got it shipped from overseas, but in that case, it was completely dismantled for shipping to me). That gives me the ... | |
| Best Hobby related purchase of 2010 Lots of new (to me) records. Lots and lots of them. So many I am still working my way through them. | |
| Im looking for Speakers/Sub to play rap mostly I was going to suggest the easiest way to get 'frickin loud and clean' is using pro audio gear. One pair of speakers I can recommend for room-thumping sound is the JBL 4343 (despite what you said about JBL). They go very loud while remaining clean... | |
| How popular is Wire Transfer..... I have not used Western Union or other wire transfer methods which don't use a bank as intermediary. I, however, use the term 'wire transfer' to also refer to a transfer between my bank account and yours. It requires going to your bank and asking ... | |
| Which turntables? Personally, I am not sure it matters whether Yamaha manufactured it or not. If Yamaha designed it and had the good sense to have Micro Seiki manufacture it, more power to them. When I am back where it is, I can check to see if it says anything on ... | |
| Which turntables? The Sony PS-8750 is a real winner as long as the motor is speed stable (Dekay's test is the one I would do). The other two are good tables as well. FWIW, I find that the big brothers of the PX-3 don't deal terribly well with low compliance carts (... | |
| Why Doesn't Contemporary Jazz Get Any Respect? An interesting thread. I would suggest that saying jazz is considered America's only true art form makes one question the definition of 'art form'.Among music, bluegrass and musicals are certainly also native to the United States. The problem with... |
