"HELP" tired Koetsu Yes, I'm old and in the way. | |
"HELP" tired Koetsu I will tell you that a really musical cartridge in the very reasonable price range, is the Denon DL103R. I used one of those for several months before getting my Shelter 501, and it is a jewel of a cartridge, for the money. Very similar in charact... | |
"HELP" tired Koetsu I know that the high-end ZYX R-100 Fuji is one killer cartridge. It's as good as a Shelter 901, but a little different in the way it does things. It is slightly better than the 901 on small scale music, and the 901 is a little better on large scal... | |
"HELP" tired Koetsu Yes, the EMT's were nice. That was in the old days. If they only kept on that track instead of the one they are on now, I wouldn't be saying this stuff. Some of the Ortofons are still good, but no reviewers pay any attention to them. It's like the... | |
"HELP" tired Koetsu Maxgain, I have had a number of disagreements with Moncrieff's opinions in the past. I have no way of knowing what this MDB cartridge sounds like personally, and he may be right on the mark. But after reading enough reviews, you can sort of judge ... | |
"HELP" tired Koetsu I just read the IAR review of the MDB cartridge. It gave it very high praise. It is available for $5500 for the basic model from Damoka Distribution in NY.If you read the description, you find it has a special diamond shape made in Switzerland. Th... | |
preamp vs. no-preamp Marakanetz, there is good info at this linkwww.bentaudio.comThey have parts, kits, and info on building these passive transformer volume controls.They also have complete units, with either manual or remote controls. | |
"HELP" tired Koetsu I'd think a well-seasoned Koetsu Roswood would be well worth rebuilding. However there are some caveats. If the last re-tipping you did was not by Koetsu, they may not accept the cartridge for rebuild. The only place that rebuilds Koetsu to sound ... | |
Depth vs. Cable Type I have done something similar, but a little different in terms of packaging. I am getting good depth, and I think that a little break-in time may help.But I also think that your inline capacitor, will cause some problems in this area. It is a filt... | |
Center image on left side and don't know why Could be a weak tube on one channel in the preamp. | |
Custom speaker grilles - wife acceptability factor I have found that a thin, stretchy, double-knit fabric is quite suitable for grill material, and can be found in many colors, and even prints, at the sewing stores. No grill cloth is going to be perfect, and this is pretty much what most makers us... | |
2A3 vs. 300B single end triode.... Craig, I'm just teasing. I love this amp!You guys are the only ones that I can share it with, because nobody else I know can even comprehend what I'm talking about with this amp. I hope you don't mind that I mention it from time to time, because I... | |
Expensive vinyl rig - still not performing ;- Hey, John, I was just on the Teres forum, and it appears that some folks don't have the black washer in the right place when using the clamp. The black washer is placed onto the spindle first and stays there. The records are placed on top of this ... | |
2A3 vs. 300B single end triode.... Clueless,How about a choke-coupling from 6SN7 to 45?With battery power, and ZOTL output from the 45s?And DHT with 250kHz AC on the filaments? | |
preamp vs. no-preamp Remember that all passives are not alike. There are resistive and transformer based passives. There are significant differences in the impedance matching characteristics. The transformer based passives may not exhibit any of the problematic qualit... |
