| Bottom Rung Koetsu.. Tom, I also use a DL103 in my system. I agree with your assessments. Many times, however, people cannot believe that a low priced cart like the DL103 can compete with something like a Koetsu. And sometimes they just want that name brand recognitio... | |
| Need help : Single ended, Low power, SET amps.. Tweek, check out the Lowther America website. They have improved the Lowther drivers with a re-designed whizzer cone that has a rolled edge. I supposedly eliminates the midrange resonance peak that previously plagued Lowther drivers. They also cha... | |
| Talk About Static Cling... Zaikes, yes I do not have a turntable mat that could do exactly as you say. Mine is a bare platter that makes contact with the record. If the mat is electrically isolating the record, grounding the bearing housing will not cure the problem. Perhap... | |
| Magnetic levitating turntable shelf-opinions? I have also considered that idea, but did not follow through on it. The reason I didn't, is that I have since come to the conclusion that direct coupling to the floor is a benefit and not a detriment. Just as speakers sound better on spikes that d... | |
| Talk About Static Cling... Ground the turntable bearing housing. | |
| Bottom Rung Koetsu.. Any Koetsu is a good cartridge. The question is do you like the sound? I like the Koetsu sound. Another cartridge to consider in this price range is the Shelter 901. Some consider it to be the best sounding cartridge of all. This is very subjectiv... | |
| What would you use Onhwy61, I would agree it can be tricky with electronic instruments. However, unless the keyboard man is a real whiz with his sampling and editing, you can still tell. With analog synths, the patches can be similar sounding but the sonic character... | |
| Need help : Single ended, Low power, SET amps.. Tweek, Single Ended Triode is what SET stands for. S is for Single, E is for Ended, and T is for Triode. A good example of one is the Sun 2A3. Another is the Golden Tube 300B. An example of a SET OTL is the Berning Siegfried. An example of a push-... | |
| Any experience with Cary phono stages? If you are in the market for a real high end phono stage, then you owe it to yourself to try an Aesthetix IO phono stage. Just a recommendation. | |
| Need help : Single ended, Low power, SET amps.. Tweek, the plus is that they have low power. The minus is that they have low power. Low power sounds better because of less gain stages, tubes, and complexity.(All else being equal). Low power cannot drive most of the available speakers to a reaso... | |
| For All You CCR Fans Haven't tried the 180g yet, but have an original copy of Cosmo's Factory. Recording quality is very good. "Have You Ever Seen The Rain" is a must-have classic song. | |
| thorens turntable cover material There is a product called Plexol, that is made for aircraft windshields, motorcycle windshields, and anything made of clear plastic like plexiglas, lexan, acrylic, etc. It cleans, protects, and covers minor scratches. I use it on my motorcycle all... | |
| Teres turntable update. Hmmm. I guess I need a fireplace. | |
| What would you use Well, first of all, you have to know what the piano sounds like in the first place. Anyone who has ever heard a Steinway grand knows the unmistakable "Steinway Crash" in the midrange sound when heavy impact chords are being played. A nine foot Bos... | |
