| Denon 103 R low compliance with RB 300 The 103D was a better match for the stock RB600.The Rega arms need some additional mass for the low compliance of the 103 or 103R. The HiFi mod is what is needed to make them work better with the low compliance Denons.PS - A headshell weight is no... | |
| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... You cannot rely on this cartridge to have proper alignment at this time, John.It could possibly be damaging your records to play it like that. | |
| Denon 103 R low compliance with RB 300 The 103R will work with an RB300, but the effective mass of the arm is a bit lower than would be best for the 103R. None of the heavy counterweights will solve this problem. The DL103D is discontinued, and you probably will not easily find one of ... | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? I would caution that assuming that "because the human being is subject to suggestion, and can be fooled", does not equate to "the human being is always fooled by suggestion".Simply because something CAN happen, doesn't mean that it IS happening in... | |
| Anyone else feel left out? I've always promoted "bang for the buck" items, and I think that they can produce a very enjoyable system, when correctly matched.I never had the money to play in the ultra high end priced products, so I have had to be very studious in choosing th... | |
| equipment rack along the back wall-Bad? It's not always bad.In some setups, I've noticed no audible difference if the rack was on the back wall or not. | |
| Would anyone respond??? I typically keep my components for at least 5 years, after I get the system's sound where I'm happy with it.Right now, I'm happy.But that doesn't mean that I'm not looking for stuff that I might want to upgrade to in the future. | |
| The sound from the speakers. Jake, most of us prefer to hear the sound between the speakers.Sometimes we can hear sound from wider than the speakers too.Audiophiles call this imaging and soundstage. | |
| Review: Phase Linear 700b Amplifier Yep. What a way to go!Sometimes I have nightmares about hooking up a Phase 700 to my Lowthers! | |
| Why do intelligent people deny audio differences? It reminds me of the old days, when kids would come into the shop saying that they got an XYZ amplifier for $100, and it sounds as good as any other amp because it had only .00000001% distortion, and no other amp could possibly sound better than t... | |
| I damanged my Shelter cartridge, next steps?.... Sorry Raul, I didn't mean to upset you. | |
| Does surface a component sit on affect the sound. Thanks Bob, for your kind words.That is a very nice compliment, coming from someone as knowledgable and experienced as you are.As most of us know, I use the energy transfer(specifically engineered direct rigid coupling) method with Audiopoints and... | |
| DeepGroove Sub Platter for Rega Planar 3 You can only go "so far" with upgrading a P3.The main bearing is one of the major limiting factors.I'd seriously consider other TTs as an option for the money you are spending. | |
| Review: Phase Linear 700b Amplifier I hope you enjoy it. | |
| Does surface a component sit on affect the sound. Yes, it will affect the sound.What you use to sit it on is a matter of great debate.Points, cones, spikes, tennis balls, air bladders, super balls cut in half, styrofoam, sorbothane, roller bearings, etc, etc, are all used by people trying to make... |
