| What cartridge works for you ??? The Shelter 501 would be an excellent choice for sound quality. It retails at $800, but you may be able to find a dealer to discount it a little for you.I think a tube phono unit is an excellent choice, particularly at the front end, because they ... | |
| Newbie to analog: Hi end rigs $2-5K on used market Laoyuap, I use the TT basics protractor, and I think it works fine. There are some who like to use more esoteric products and alignments, but I have gotten good results from that protractor with my arm. | |
| Pushed out by a 0.2 MC cart ? I think the Pink Triangle is a pretty good table. The SME 309 is a pretty good arm, and the DL103 is a nice cartridge. I think you can get real good sound from them. All you need to do is to get a step up transformer, and you're good to go. That i... | |
| Newbie to analog: Hi end rigs $2-5K on used market Laoyuap, it is easy with the Teres. The table can be purchased fully assembled, with just minor assembly to do after unpacking. You have to put the oil in, and install the spindle and platter. You have to put the belt on. You have to put the arm o... | |
| Hey Asa - have a Supratek Syrah question Since Asa is not responding, I will try to give you some idea of my similar experiences.When I had my Sony 9000ES CD/SACD player, I started out by going direct into my Berning amp. I did this for awhile and it seemed ok. But then, when I made the ... | |
| Newbie to analog: Hi end rigs $2-5K on used market I know, I'm recommending Teres again. But it is a really great table at reasonable cost. I'd say get a Teres 245 brand new, and new Origin Live Silver or Encounter tonearm, and a Shelter 501 or 901 cartridge. You can get most or all of this for be... | |
| CBS Half Speeds? Digital? I have found similar results with some of these, as well as other non-audiophile records. Some are just made that way. I try to avoid them. However some of these audiophile recordings are really good all-analog recordings, well mastered, and press... | |
| Save a vinyl newbie, please Well, one thing is for sure, you have a low frequency problem that is feeding back into your turntable, causing the woofers to modulate excessively. Try re-locating the position of the TT into another area of the room which is not in a bass heavy ... | |
| Pushed out by a 0.2 MC cart ? Get a step-up transformer and put it before the phono section. It will increase your gain before the phono section, and allow you to select less gain in your phono section. This will improve the sound that you lost, and lower the noise, by having ... | |
| Poll: Which rack s would you use and why? Mike, yes I think a lightweight rigid stand for the TT would be the best bet. Of course, it needs to be strong enough for this TT. When I said light and rigid, I didn't mean to imply "flimsy". This has to do with the vibrational modes in the stand... | |
| Poll: Which rack s would you use and why? A dedicated stand for the turntable is required. In the case of the SME, a light weight rigid stand that is not very tall, is recommended. Put no other gear on the turntable stand.As for the other gear, the Sistrum racks are said to actually impro... | |

| What do you know about Avid turntables? I haven't heard any, but they appear to have good design features. I would expect that they would sound good, and maybe great. At least they started off with the right basics. | |
| If you could have 2 turntables... Marty has the right idea. Throw in a Walker too, while you're at it. | |
| How important is impedence matching? Your impedance match is ok. |
