| Schitt turntable anyone? I've had the $129 Mani. Great for the price.If it was packaged with that table AND a cart for...$500, that would be something worth looking at.Not gonna happen, so it just another piece of Schiit. | |
| Cartridge Selection gareents-I've heard most of the carts mentioned on a VPI. Great suggestions.Include the Audio Technica ART9 in your search. I had one on my VPI. A Kiseki Blue replaced it,only because of a crashed cantilever.Like everything audio, it subjective l... | |
| Anyone have experience with the Tung Sol 7581a vs. EL34, KT66, KT88, 6L6 alexwilds-not many here looking for grind and compression out of their home amps.http://fenderforum.com | |
| ***Is It Me Or Have Todays Modern Tubes Gotten REALLY REALLY Good*** Your wallet is thankful.As a hobby, I get the obsession some have with tubes. Like everything audio, it's subjective. Some have the luxury to drop more in tubes than the value of the gear. To each his own. | |
| Nordost fans Nordost Heimdall is the level to start with. Like every other cable, it's subjective and argued to death on value/price.I use Heimdall II throughout. $20K Odin power cords have been in my system. It was something more appropriate for a $100K+ sys... | |
| Which Sub-platter for my original planar 3 "Wouldn’t surprise me if there are $10k rigs out there that are just barely at the level of your hot-rodded Rega."Keen observation millercarbon! hehe.Meanwhile, my bin diving has rewarded me a few stamper grades of tired, but classic albums for my... | |
| Caps for crossover upgrade for Opera Grand Callas Loudspeakers Live with the fact it's the RECORDING.Nice speaker. I have the Seconda. Been putting off upgrading because their not perfect, but realize they sound as good as whatever recording is played thru them.If the upgrade works, great. | |
| Chris meets Jimi Ouch!That was an event 50 years ago. Interview probably within a couple years of his passing.Will YOU look 22, if you're lucky to speak of something in your life 50 years later? | |
| Which Sub-platter for my original planar 3 When I had a P5, I replaced the subplatter with the Groovetracer.Very noticeable upgrade. IMO, that and a fresh belt, are the only worthwhile upgrades.Other than that, time to consider investing in a new table.I doubt there is significant sonic di... | |
| Who does his playing remind you of....... Huh?I guess being a 40 year guitar noodler and being a fan of Billy Gibbons/ZZ Top since the early 70's, I don't hear anything "fancy and different."Eliminator and later albums were part of the MTV period which I thought was the final nail in the... | |
| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? samiamnot-No insult intended with my post. The intention was to raise awareness that perhaps one might consider starting with a substantial "box" before additional expense-especially if it exceeds the value of the actual box. I use tubes in my s... | |
| Is it common for tubes to outweigh the cost of the amp or preamp? WOW! Doesn't it seem too good to be true? Just purchase a lower end tube amp, replace the tubes with expensive NOS, and it magically is transformed?If so, proceed with power cable, headphone cable and special fuse. Now your total purchase will be ... | |
| Does it make sense to run a 3k cartridge on a 2k table? fsonicsmith's perspective resonates with me.The OP's gear is good. The proposed cart, and others at that level however, may not be fully exploited with the present setup. The next level phonostage at minimum, should be considered.The mentioning o... | |
| MoFi Ultradeck+M rpeluso-The MoFi ultra is a great table. I had the opportunity to demo one in my system.IMO, top of the heap with the tables it competes with. USA made,reasonable MSRP=winPlay the hell the out of the cart. When it 's time to replace it, consider a... | |
