| Denon/Shelter with SME 309 and Ear 834P The impedance won't be a real big deal, but if you can change it to 100 ohms, that would be the value you'd want to have it at.I think with a linestage that has 16db gain, you will have just about perfect performance. | |
| Why no remote? Well, here's one reason. To provide a remote costs money. If the manufacturer is trying to hit a price point, he can either improve the sonic components, or put in a remote control. So, at a given price, all other things being equal, the non-remot... | |
| Denon/Shelter with SME 309 and Ear 834P That setup should work out fine, as long as you have some reasonable gain in your linestage. Either of those cartridges should work well in your 309, and the 834P has 68db gain for the MC section, which could be enough depending on your linestage.... | |
| Return to analog If you liked the Linn, you'll like the Nottingham or the Michell. They are both in your price range. | |
| Is 2 channel dead? Surround sound is for movies only. | |
| What tunes to "spin" while spinning? How about "Richard Simmons" Sweatin' to the Oldies. Or Jane Fonda's Workout Record. :^) | |
| VPI HR-X vs SME 20 Both TTs are very good, and both will show good deep bass quality. What you probably were hearing is that the SME table was probably equipped with an SME tonearm, which are noted for their excellent bass response. The HRX was equipped with the JMW... | |
| High efficiency speakers vs Low, pros and cons If you have other speakers that do not reveal the deficiencies of your system, they are also not revealing part of the music. When you reveal all, you also get a more revealing musical experience. Some cannot tolerate this, and seek a more "forgiv... | |
| Sumiko Premier MMT Arm VTA? If it has no VTA adjustment, and you don't want to get another arm, then you have only one option, and that is to make machined spacers that will fit between the arm board and the base, that will be the correct thickness to raise the VTA to the pr... | |
| Expensive vinyl rig - still not performing ;- Roni, I've heard it costs about $250, not sure. Brother, when that arm gets here, and you fire up that rig, you are in for a major treat! | |
| Help with Denon phono-stage please Don't know about that one Dave. | |
| Teres owners and vinyl junkies . . . . I haven't heard the Illustrious, but if it is anything like the Encounter or Silver, (and it is) then it is a killer arm. I have the Silver, and it beats out arms that cost over $3k. The Illustrious has all the design features that make up a great... | |
| Teres owners and vinyl junkies . . . . Lazarus, either of those arms would work fine with the Arkiv. I personally think that the OL Illustrious would be a better choice, but the SME V is an excellent arm. You couldn't go wrong either way. I think the OL Illustrious would be a more musi... | |
| MC Head Amp - do I need one, should I have one? If everything is currently running up to your satisfaction, you don't need it.It only is needed when you select a lower output cartridge, that is too low for your existing phono stage.The other option would be a MC step-up transformer, which I thi... | |
| Phono Stage Pre Amp Of course, it depends on how much you want to spend, and what kind of cartridge you are going to use.Many people like things such as the Black Cube, Monolithic, or similar ones, that are around $350 used to $700 new.Others want tube phono stages w... |
