| Audio Technica AT-120E experience i have experience with a slightly different cartridge in the audio technica family (i think 1 model up) the 440MLa... using this now on my linn axis with akito 2 arm... excellent. definitely like it more than some pricier cartridges i've used on t... | |
| Any cartridges like Shure, but more exciting? interesting, i had thought about the 440mla... but read a lot of folks describing it as on the brighter side of tonal balance? my general experience with audio technicas is that they are on the bright side of the spectrum (as opposed to grados whi... | |
| Any cartridges like Shure, but more exciting? hi psychicanimal... that may be the ticket i'm looking for! can you tell me a bit about what that might sound like? also, you mention the JICO for the v15 type III, is this talked about as better than the JICO with the type IV (that is also availa... | |
| Cartridge i agree with vridian's budget choices, but be careful of what flavor you're looking for. the AT's can be bright depending on what your taste / hearing is like. i find them a little grating on most decks. i use a denon 110, not bad for the money. f... | |
| I want more from my Rega P5 i reckon your setup would be a little on the 'hi fi' side (as opposed to the warm and groovy side that rega is famous for) with the combination of all those pieces (all of which separately are very good). i never liked the P75 with the 10x5, as i ... | |
| Sound Quality or Convenience? funny enough... i just went through this... got rid of my naim cd player and external power supply (hi cap) for a regular transport and Derek Shek non over sampling DAC (shigaraki clone). i liked it better. then got a squeezebox as a transport and... | |
| Best budget cartridge pool shure m97 ... i have the denon 110, grado black, and garrot k1 all at home... for my rig (linn axis w akito 2b arm)... shure sounds great. i have heard it is dull on other rigs... | |
| Dual 721 or Rega P3 i am not a big rega trumpeter, as many on the site are, but i would take the rega over the dual since replacement parts and other mods made for the table, should you want to go that route, are abundant. plus... i don't know what arm was on the dua... | |
| technics 1200 cartridge and preamp choices for the technics (which i've had) i think the grado phono stage would be a very good choice. its a bit rounder and smoother than something like a dynavector p75 (which i have)... and will balance out the slight glare in the lower treble of the 120... | |
| Naim amps?? agreed with agisthos... what are you talking about wadia? classic nait 2 uses a bell and howell transformer... i believe those used to cost a ton. + , 47 labs uses internals that are relatively inexpensive, but the amps design is so well done that... | |
| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge can anyone confirm or deny the experience that i've had with the 110 on 2 decks (nottingham interspace and linn axis) that the sound, while very very good, is a bit icy. not icy as in cold or clinical but icy as in the opposite of lush. ie, if gra... | |
| Review: Grado Platinum Cartridge hello ferrari... i am wondering why i keep reading from people that they have tracking issues and arm compatibility issues with the platinum? i have some experience with grado's, only prestige series, granted, but i read of people having problems ... | |
| Baby Koetsus? ie, Poor Mans Koetsu yes, i just mounted a denon 103 (regular) that i had.. finally got a preamp for it. dynavector p75 set at 470 ohm, 60db... sound is fantastic on a nottingham interspace with interspace arm... p.s., after having done research on this a bit... it tu... | |
| No Fiberglass Insulation In The Klipsch Heresy re - upgrading the crossover network... ya, but who can do this for us? are there guys who have a pre-packaged xover for the klipsch classic series? | |
| Linn Basik Plus i don't think this is a moddy kind of arm. i have a basik non-plus. design of it leads me to believe counterweight mods would be uneffective (probably different sound but not necessarily better). 1 thing you can do with the counterweight is comple... |
