| Question about B&W 801 I am biased but the N801's are worth it at about twice the price of the Matrix 801. I have listened to the Matrix 801 S3 and my N801's are much more natural and smoother sounding (at least in my system). The 802 has a smaller woofer area and works... | |
| Spacer for HS-12 Sumiko headshell How does the Shelter work with the Technics? I considered that cart but decided to go cheap and bought the Denon DL160 with Sumiko headshell. | |
| Help Design & Build a Cabinet - KNOW ANYONE? I had a pair of Tektons. The finish was an nice as my S800's (the speakers that I bought had a bubinga veneer). Try contacting Eric. He is in the greater Salt Lake area. I met him in person, very nice and honest guy and great workmanship:http://cg... | |
| Whats the best $1000 speakers There is a pair of Klipsch Chorous speakers listed for $350. That is quite a bit of speakers for $350. A nice tube amp or moderate power quality SS and you are set to go. | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Jan,I look forward to it. This is really a nice cart, especially for the price. I was worried about its output because I used to have a Dynavector 20X and I really had to turn up the volume. The Denon is just right. Here is a review of the fluid d... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion I just received a Denon DL160 and Sumiko Headshell. This is a fine combination. It balanced without the counterweight. The Denon has plenty of gain with my MM stage, no need to go to MC. Very dynamic cart and detailed. I like it so far. | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion I have a question about the Sumiko Headshell that many have said to get. Is the HS12 the one to get for this table? | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion The Musical Fidelity A308 Preamp lists the following for the phono section:Input for 1v RMS output:2.5 mV MM350 uV MCInput impedence 47K OhmOverload margin 31 db | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion I'm down to the Shelter 501, the Audio Technica OC9 and the Denon 160. Big price difference between the three. I am using a borrowed Benz LC80 and want to at lease equal its performance. It has a low output (0.09 mv) and I have to really turn up t... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Cytocycle,So I take it that the fluid damper and arm rewire are a really good idea if I go with the Shelter. I put an older Micro MC 80 Cart on and it is a pretty big junp in performance, even with the factory wires and no damper. | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion Maril,Can the Shelter be used without the flud damper and other mods or will it not be worth it (it is a pricy cart)? I have the Auxilary weight that came with the Technics table. I also have teh weight that goes on the counterweight (I assume th... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion I have a question on compliance. Because the Technics arm needs a high compliance cart, what works well?Is there a range of compliance (in 10-6cm/dyne) that works with the Technics headshell?What range of compliance (in 10-6cm/dyne) that works wit... | |
| Headshell weight - Sumiko HS-12 vs Technics Lindi,Are you using the Shelter 501? How are your results? | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion You'll notice the Audiogon analog Big Guns never get involved in these Technics discussion threads...I wish they would, but I don't read anything into it. Likely they have not given a serious audition to the Technics.Be careful what you wish for. ... | |
| Technics SL1200MK2 Cartridge Discussion I have been listening to the Technics again tonight. I really cannot say that the VPI did any better soundwise. If anything, the Technics has a wider image (different cartridges, but I was using a more expensive cart on the VPI) and keeps me putti... |
