| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Bflodave, I have read owners using various 1k carts on their Technics. Youre aware any cart, must have a competent phono stage to support it as well.If I had a table with a $400 cart along with an equally priced phono amp, I don't think I would in... | |
| VPI classic 3.0 Signature anti-skate. Rower30, Antiskate is a contentious discussion like religion. I can't hear a difference either way. BUT, from a physical standpoint regarding wear on the record, I believe there HAS to be some level of uneven groove wear along with stylus wear whi... | |
| Super Noisy Phono Pre--Help? Lostbears, when it was on the market I believe it's mentioned power supply enhancements for even quieter performance along with replacing the blue LED's under the tubes to a shade that blends with the glow of the tubes.Never was a fan of the blue ... | |
| Super Noisy Phono Pre--Help? I have the V.2 version, and it's very quiet. If you've done the obvious things like simply disconnecting/connecting connections and swapping, maybe time to call the distributor(Musical Surroundings)for an R/A. Their quite reasonable and if it's wi... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... OP, the 9 unquestionably delivers the goods. This thread is starting to become a cult!I'm more of a multi genre listener and the 9 doesn't appear to be a specific sounding cart, just sounds natural and plays either a great recording or terrible on... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Bill K, EBay list several Japanese vendors, which likely is the only place you're gonna find the ART 7.Pani & Oregon Papa, I'm finding thru my tubed phono the ART9 isn't sensitive to loading and just leave it at 100, the recommended setting.Sa... | |
| Upgrade from project tubebox se II Heed Quasar 1500 used?Theyre available NEW for 1200 at Elusive Disc.Probably compares with other SS units twice the price.If I didn't prefer a full tube experience, the Quasar sounds quite natural(YMMV naturally) When I had one they were under 1K.... | |
| Rega Rp1 tonearm upgrade I had an RP1 when it was introduced. Got one after a 25 year break. When a cart tag broke,the Rega distributor replaced the arm with a 250 which was a nice upgrade. It still had the cheap plastic end stub for the weight, but the arm assembly is of... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... "There are a lot of cartridges out there for 1K why should I be getting the ART9"I shared my impressions of going from the OC9III. Check page 1.As mentioned, I also played with a couple of popular 1k carts.Since "good sound" is subjective, I would... | |
| Different Power Cords in same system - ok or bad? Djfst, just thought I'd chime in to mention I found an outstanding deal on a Nordost Heimdall2 power cord. Since we've been chatting a bit about the PL HP, thought I'd mention my score.The system now has Heimdall 2 feeding the PL HP, table>phon... | |
| tonearm cable vs regular IC + ground wire "Had the Nordost Heimdall dedicated phono cable with internal ground wire, didn't like it"Mt10425, what did you hear or not hear with the Heimdall? I'm curious, because I'm just the opposite with the Nordost. Was this V 2.0?Cable preference certai... | |
| PrimaLuna vs Mystere Why not call the distributor?If anyone can tell you the scoop it's Kevin.The obvious difference is features, which I like on my Dialogue HP.The Dialogue series can switch from UL to triode. The Mystere does have that nice stepped volume control, b... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Lewm, also check out AT MONO3LP (HOMC) @ LP Gear. Looks like a no brainer.Based on ATs reputation for great value carts, for 200 bucks even if you didn't like it, you won't feel beat up spending the cash.Perhaps it's a sleeper mono cart as the ART... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... At least in my system, the 9 doesn't appear to be sensitive to switching the load knob on my phono amp. I just leave it at 100. The ART9 seems dig out more detail and present more realism/ impact than other carts on my table. It is a rockin AND ca... | |
| Heimdall 2 vs. Frey 2 I use a power conditioner more for the surge protection and I thought using my ancient $100 monster PLC was doing the HP an injustice. In keeping with the "value" theme, a now discontinued PS Audio powerplay unit is used.I guess the unit is doing ... |
