| Assembling My Analog System..... Comments/Ideas?? Only half facetious, I'd recommend getting a phono cord. And given your outlay so far, I'd recommend a decent one to make sure you are getting what you need out of the components, because that sounds like a super-serious analog setup. I would reco... | |
| What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl Lew,I saw that data tidbit once but I cannot remember where. I kind of ignored it at the time because the specs also said "if you apply up to 80g of VTF then there will be no speed change" comment whereas the SP-10Mk2 is probably close to 6-8x tha... | |
| Accuphase DG-28 phono EQ possible? Metronet,The Accuphase grid of compatibility says the AI-AD1 is NOT compatible with the DG-28. The AI-AD1 manual says it is is only applicable for the DC-300 and DC-330. Therefore the compatibility grid which I linked to and the manual of the opti... | |
| Stacking Chip DACs? Monarchy did. In DIY-land try the DDDAC. | |
| Accuphase DG-28 phono EQ possible? The Accuphase list of board-unit compatibility is here and it agrees with the board manual. | |
| Threshold Stasis 2...Worth a rebuild??? Not knowing much about Threshold amps, I would say that non-functioning amps can be hard to sell too... :^) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 3s are sometimes available. 4s are quite rare. You usually have to wait until they come out on ebay or similar. JICO made a stylus specifically for the 3 but they too are rare, and out of production. JICO styli for the 205CIIX are available much m... | |
| MM cartridges and capacitance Al,You are a scholar and a gentleman. Thank you very much for that explanation. | |
| MM cartridges and capacitance Al,Thanks.With regard to the fraction... My math is OK. I misspoke. I see frequency as being a number X greater than one. I see a higher frequency as being a number greater than X which is greater than 1. If I take one cycle, it's frequency (state... | |
| MM cartridges and capacitance Al,Thanks for the link to the Hagerman calculator. I'd actually read that page a few times but until now had never tried the calculator myself, AND more importantly I had mistaken the range of resonant frequency peak by at least one power of ten o... | |
| MM cartridges and capacitance Al,From the things I have read, and the cart designer I have talked to on the subject of that resonant peak in frequency response, that peak is waaaaaaay outside the audible band. However, the problem is that it is so large, that just like a reall... | |
| Shipping from US to Europe, best company? Any thoughts on the best way to send heavy objects cheaply? I'm trying to send two amps at 80+lbs apiece from the US to Japan... | |

| Matching speaker to amplifier? My default position on this kind of question is as follows:I highly recommend the white papers on the website of Atma-sphere, the amplifier manufacturer called Debunking Common Power Amplifier Myths and Voltage and Power Paradigms. The pair of whi... | |
| What would be the best "attainable" Denon turntabl I disagree with Buconero as to shipping NECESSARILY damaging tables, but I do agree that it needs to be undertaken with great care. All tables were shipped from the factory at some point. Even when 'hand-delivered' from the factory to your home, w... |
