| Cartridge recommendations for second system turntable please Hi, arsh,I have a Music Hall mmf-7 and in addition to the Goldring Eroica H that came with the turntable, I have enjoyed using a Goldring 1012GX, a Dynavector DV-20XL, and an Audio-Technica AT-33PTG, which is currently on the tonearm. Each of them... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? "Cootie Williams in Hi-Fi" and Rolling Stones "Let It Bleed" on a Music Hall mmf-2.1 with Goldring 1012GX. | |
| Turntable Help Hi, jaydough76,I have a different take on starting out. I would consider buying the best entry-level turntable you can find for $300 or less and then buy a cartridge that stretches your $700 total budget. Here’s why...Lately I’ve been listening to... | |
| Is Anyone Using Dirac Live Or Other Room Correction? Something to consider with DSP/DRC recommendations is the age of the review or discussion. I'm seriously considering a miniDSP unit using Dirac Live and have been reading reviews and comparisons with other DSP/DRC options. What I've noticed is tha... | |
| LP Cleaning srafi, the possible solutions to your problem with surface noise have been mentioned in previous posts but I think were lost in the bickering that ensued. Here are my thoughts on things to try...First off, I'm going to assume that your Clearaudio ... | |
| Does dry-brushing really do anything... I use two carbon fiber brushes; first brush is rolled quickly for one revolution of the LP to pick up the majority of any loose dust. The second brush is rolled slowly for a couple of revolutions of the LP. Then I swipe the brushes against each ot... | |
| Michell Gyro suspension bottoming out Sorry about the crappy link. Hre's a link to the upgrade page:http://www.artech-electronics.com/us/products/michell/mich_upg.html Tom | |
| Michell Gyro suspension bottoming out Hi, solman989. The gap between the chassis frame and the felt washers should be 3mm or so. And the bottom of the bearing cap should extend only about 0.5mm below the chassis frame. If that's what you have set up with your Gyro SE then you're good ... | |
| Upgrading to an external Phonostages for my system Hi, meambler, I guess my perspective differs from the others but I think you might find a noticable improvement in sound using a separate phono stage, depending on what you get. The HK 990 is likely a fine integrated amp (based on what I've read a... | |
| High frequency distortion? Hi, bizzy, some of the most common problems have been mentioned already but here are a couple more to consider if they don't work...One of the common but overlooked problems that can cause the type of distortion you describe is a loose fitting in ... | |
| Rpm's and The Strobe jsman, if you're using the KAB strobe and disc and the battery is good, trust the strobe. It's a lot better at "counting" revolutions than humans will ever be. '-)Regards,Tom | |
| Rpm's and The Strobe So jsman, what is the strobe you're using? | |
| Record Doctor V versus Spin Clean Complete Hi, nissancrazy; I think whether you decide to go with a Spin Clean or a vacuum RCM depends on how many records you need to clean or think you'll clean in the next few years. I've been using a manual vacuum RCM for about ten years and have cleaned... | |
| Servers: Are we there yet? psag, I wonder if it's possible for music servers to incorporate Bluetooth controls? That way it wouldn't be subject to the failings of wi-fi connections. Bluetooth isn't much good for streaming/playing hi-resolution digital music files but for si... | |
| Integrating a new turntable into existing system and having sound quality problems... vwman111, something isn’t right. As others have said, you shouldn’t have to run much higher VTF on a new cartridge. You could have the dealer install another cartridge to see if you ended up with a bad one..And if the problem isn't with the cartri... |
