| "What's Your Best Price?" Nsgarch,In my country, the personal money transfer function has been turned off by PayPal to abide by the laws on transferring monies. I am told there are many countries where it is not allowed. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,The specific quote I mentioned was regarding a specific cartridge and was made by one reviewer to two more reviewers. I inferred he was talking about people who might normally have experience with both. I inferred from the article that the pa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Perhaps Jcarr can enlighten us, or those with period catalogs (from 1969 for the FR-5/FR-5E and the mid-1970s for the FR-6SE) might be able to add to this. I am not sure the FR-6 was meant to be an 'upgrade' vs the FR-5. From the drawings I rememb... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 'Vast' is inaccurate. I have one of each but don't have enough listening time on either to say that they rock my world. I'll get to them eventually. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, you may find Jcarr stays away from that line. There isn't much near-term upside for Beelzebub to get into a discussion on deism with the newly faithful... Or is it a case of trying to pull back the Proud, Envious, Wrathful (I am probably i... | |
| How "Rare" are Audio Classics, Really CW, You are a wise man and I am sure you are correct about the reason. But Maggie?... maybe I do overestimate the 500 Superfast? | |
| How "Rare" are Audio Classics, Really Rare has it's own issues. First off, some megabuck items were rare for a reason - they didn't perform or catch the eye of the purchasing public. The car world seems to have better records of super-flops than I've seen in audio.Second, in autos jus... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Siniy23,I did not know there was an AT22. The AT23 is kind of a 'slightly junior version' of the AT25. Bigger stylus. Have been looking for one but haven't found one. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,Just to tease you further, the 'final' iteration of the F-9 series was the F-14 series, which had the choice of aluminum, ruby, boron, beryllium, and sapphire cantilevers with micro-ridge styli. Then there was a 60th anniversary version r... | |
| Vintage Phono Stage? pros and cons Mike, Where do you think the difference comes from? Is it only in parts selection? Or is it a difference in physical implementation of the design, or is there a fundamental difference in circuit design which makes them quieter? | |
| Vintage Phono Stage? pros and cons Jaspert,In your time using the Accuphase, did it compare well with other decent phono/pres? It was THE megabuck unit by Accuphase at the time and the one time I heard one years ago (as a pre) it was very nice, but I haven't heard one in 10+yrs. It... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The EPC-101C was introduced at the same time as the EPC-100CMk2 (1979) at the same price. The 101C has a titanium nitride cantilever. Like the 100C it has a 0.2x0.7mil elliptical stylus but has a slightly larger 'square-block' diamond tip on the s... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,DU probably prefers a good bottle of Barossa Shiraz (or some of that lovely single vineyard grenache produced by Mr. Bratasiuk, of which I think I have now a decade-plus supply of :^). The 205CMk3 and the later Mk4 also used boron cantilevers,... | |
| Cryo'ed LP's The only thing I am wondering is why you would do it on your best albums before trying it out on others you could afford to see something happen to. If it 'works' you could I am sure do it again. | |
| Why not horns? Macrojack,The bass is horn-loaded. The upper frequencies are omnidirectional because of the driver construction. It is "low" efficiency. I find the GP Unikorns can sound sublime in the right room. For more fun, take a look at the Duevel Bella Luna... |
