| SME V/309 Tonearms With LP12 or VPI MKIII The newer SME arms have a fairly heavy base section which could set the Linn suspension off balance. I don't know for sure because I haven't tried it. Some of the heavier arms have had trouble with Linns. The SME's are very good arms though. | |
| Output voltage of Denon 103 Well, I don't know exactly what the gain is on the SP-9 phono stage, but if it's too low, you could always get a step up transformer for it. The DL103 is low output.I have just done some looking around at some sites that had the Project 6.1 on the... | |
| Rega P25 Tonearm Lift If this is an older P25, you may have to replace the silicone fluid in the cueing device, but I really don't think that any P25s are old enough for that yet. You might try putting some thin strips of velcro on the arc-shaped piece that lifts the a... | |
| Tickled Pink. Make that Aquamarine I've had a number of mine go down that way. Well, at least this one didn't :^) | |
| How can an active preamp possibly help? Because many passive pre's cause an impedance mismatch with the output of the CD player, and the input of the amplifier. This causes frequency rolloff problems, and increased distortion. With an active preamp, the inputs and outputs have impedance... | |
| Output voltage of Denon 103 The standard DL103 has an advertised output of .3mv, and the DL103R has an advertised output of .25mv. I have had a DL103(standard) that had the .3mv output, and I currently have a DL103R that has a .27mv output which is slightly higher than adver... | |
| Box speakers that sound like Electrostats? My experience with single-driver speakers has led me to the opinion that they can be very close to electrostats for speed, transparency, and imaging. The point-source nature of these single drivers, is about the best for imaging, and the very ligh... | |
| Tickled Pink. Make that Aquamarine Judit, I have no personal experience with Discovery Cables, but I have read alot of good things about them, and I believe that one of the major high-end TT makers is using Discovery in their tonearm wiring.Glad you are enjoying them. | |
| What is a "transmission line" speaker? Agree with Sean on virtually all of his points. I also never heard the Steve@HiFiFarm definition of Transmission Line.In response to a few of the others' questions above, the original true Transmission Line was a cabinet design to "get rid" of the... | |
| Inexpensive,ugly and wonderful sounding..... Warren, even though I have no experience with Lat cables or your gear, it seems to me that there have been some significant advances is cable designs over the last 6 years. It is not unreasonable to try out some newer designs and compare for yours... | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? Mknowles, I mentioned that Granite has that ringing. I didn't say that marble does. I think that marble, being a sedimentary rock, has more in common with limestone, than with granite. Therefore, I would guess that marble would not ring much, or a... | |
| Turntable Set Up Questions again? Generally there is an increase in bass and a decrease in treble, as you lower the VTA(lowering the pivot end of the arm). You can only do a certain amount with this, and is not intended really, as a tone control. It is a guide to show you how to "... | |
| How to Judge an LP Pbb, I find it highly unlikely that I am not aware of exactly how prevalent these defects are, and exactly how objectionable they are. I have owned more used records than most people have ever even seen. I have played used records for most of my l... | |
| Anyone bought Speakers from outside U.S.A.? I bought a reciever from England, and the shipping cost just about killed me. It cost just as much for shipping, as it did to buy the reciever. | |
| Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack? It depends upon which frequencies you wish to isolate. Different materials have different characteristics. I know that marble cracks very easily, and that could be a problem. Granite "rings" if it is not real thick. Actually, a very dense wood lik... |
