| Cartridge Output It will be louder, but it will create a 66% increase in apparent loudness. Take a look here for an explanation, which may help you with the Vinyl Engine's calculators. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? On the Technics 100C, my 100C carts (of varying "marks") are usually happiest at just over 1g up to 1.25g. Only one of mine has ever been "happy" at over 1.25g, and then after a while it settled down to be happiest at around 1.20g. Some of this (b... | |
| Audio and the "jet set" - please help If I were going to be constantly on the move, I'd want a pair of AKG K1000s and an amp to drive them with to which I could apply a stepup or stepdown transformer. I'd feed it with a DAC with my music on a Mac Mini.If I was going to be in place for... | |
| Reel to Reel decks Ralph,I don't want to AGAIN pick nits, but I will anyway...First, tape **Can** sound better than the source. Why? Physical vibration. If you have the speakers playing while making the recording, the tape will *not* sound better than the source, bu... | |
| No PHONO IN Solution As far as i can tell, you should have no problem running the RM4 (looking at the RM4+ specs above) into any input on your linestage but I note the RM4 does not have a pre-pre stage to accept low-output MC cartridges, which, as Swampwalker suggests... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dgob, Thanks for pointing that out. I had not seen that. It may be useful. I think it would be great to strike while the iron is hot and allow professionals to disclose their affiliations with an "affiliations/disclosures" link as well. It would a... | |
| Why three motors? The way it is arranged in the photo does look a little odd. Any idea what the tonearm with the wooden armpipe is? | |
| Bottlehead Eros is it better than the Seduction? You might ask this over on the Eros section of the Bottlehead forum. Nice group of folks over on bottlehead... and they'll probably tell you the Eros is better :^) | |
| What MC for $1,000-$2,000? Rower30,As others have stated, the compliance mismatch between effective weight of the arm and the Denon103R, the fact that the Denon 103R was not broken in and the AC-2 was broken in would make a big difference, and the fact that the AC-2 was pro... | |
| What MC for $1,000-$2,000? First, the AC-2 is quite a decent cartridge (and usually costs more used than a 103R does new). Second, pbnaudio pointed out that the 103R may take some settling in (a lot of people say that about that cart). As to changing your cart until you KNO... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Jw,How did you solve your tuner band issue? If a tech can do that (and you can find a different number band for the tuner needle window), I would go out and find a Kenwood tuner. They can be found from time to time, but I just figured I could neve... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? The P3 is 100V 50/60Hz. It needs a stepdown transformer outside of Japan - preferably a larger one (one which can handle 300W or so). The transformer inside is supposed to be quite a bit larger than most turntables' transformers, according to the ... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Yes, 2-4 is the range on the damping knob on the top of the tonearm which the manual recommends for the S-armpipe when using 'low-compliance' carts. Personally, I tend to set it at the low side of what the manual recommends, but it is definitely w... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Jwfabrie,Good news - sounds like you're on track.You might want to experiment further with the damping. I would have figured your AT-150MLX to be on the "low" end of compliance. According to the P3 manual (p15, bottom right), in general, low compl... | |
| Anyone own a Pioneer Exclusive P3 ?? Willem,The adjustment knob on the left (assuming you are looking at the table with the arm on the right of the platter), is the anti-skate knob.By the way, please tell us how you like it. |
