| Audiophiles are older than dirt Somec59, Are you sure that isn't "Duck, and Cover" (sung with a little lilt)? Foster_9, I think RC was one of the great drinks sold. I remember choosing that every time when I could. Is it still around? | |
| Audiophiles are older than dirt I'm not older than dirt yet (at least so I would say - my kids might say I am) but I remember just enough to be classified as such. Some of this has to be a factor of where you grew up... In the city, half of those were gone by the late 60s but in... | |
| can anyone recommend tube amp for dartzeel preamp? Radioheadokplayer,It sounds like you have some listening to do. Many of the recommendations provided have interesting and worthwhile, but they will provide you with different versions of tube-ness.I have run both solid state pre and tube pre with ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, I think it may still be 'alive'. The address and phone number show up in an online directory of Shinagawa Ward. The best way to get in touch with them might be to go through Kimura Musen, as they were a/the main retailer in Akihabara for Gra... | |
| Albert Porters after market panzerholz plinths Raul,The DP100 was very specifically designed for audiophiles. Denon sold their DN-307s and 308s for radio station and other pro use. The people at Denon's affiliated repair place are adamant about that. The Denon DN-308F is also a high-torque bea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul and all,The Grace F-8F and F-9F had Shibata stylii and blue clamps, and were oriented for playback of quadrophonic records. The F-8/9E were the "normal" version which used the same super-light cantilever. The "Level II" stylii were the later/... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Petepappp,While I agree that "live" is often not better than a recording of the same event but I think it has been more an issue of tape recording of a recording being better than the recording itself.I am inclined to agree with Mike (as I mention... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Kcc123, a most informative post. Thank you. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? Keep in mind that all of that proselytizing (mine) comes from someone who just bought a standalone MM stage where I will need a headamp/SUT and a preamp to make it work. | |
| What is the Phono stage you have finished with? I believe that what Atmasphere was getting at was not that "the connectivity problem with whatever is downstream" cannot be surmounted, but the fact that doing so turns the phono stage into a "phono stage with a robust enough output stage to be th... | |
| will a marantz 8b and altec model 19 work ? In terms of power you should fine - the Altecs are about 100dB efficient.I think that system would the bees' knees, the cat's meow, and the dog's dangly bits. | |
| First Hi-Fi system Wow that was fast (thread, responses, purchases on the same day! | |
| First Hi-Fi system As much as I admire your choices (and I do), Rrog has it right. The best systems work together in ways that you will not understand without listening. Even things which should match, on paper, like hand in glove, sometimes do not get it right.As y... | |
