| SOTA NOVA, HR-X VPI, Technics 1200G recommendations? I used to be a die hard belt drive guy. Ever since using the 1200G, they all seem like they are missing something. Unless you spend say 20K for a good belt drive, they lack the the bite that is in real music that the direct drive and its speed s... | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system Look into older MM cartridges. You may be surprised as to how close they can come to MC cartridges. Try the older Pickering or Stanton MM cartridges. If you are looking for a fuller sound they may have what you are looking for and may be surpri... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? Lewm said. tzh, way above the cost of a fully refurbished Mk3, there is a small universe of megabuck direct drive turntables, let’s say at prices of $30K and way up from there. Although I like my Mk3, I don’t assume that one or more of those turn... | |
| If you have ever owned a B&O turntable, was it any good? Or was it trash? They are excellent. They have pretty sophisticated engineering that has gone into them. I would say it would cost a lot of money to buy one of them today if they were still in production. The only downside is there are no replacement styluses,... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? The SP 10 Mk.III may be the pinnacle of direct drive design. I would keep it. The new SL 1000R is a great table for sure. It may be one of the best made today but I am not sure it is better than what you already have. FWIW. | |
| New Technics turntables The Technics 1200G sounds more like a higher end 5 figure belt drive turntable for a lot less money and arguably does some things better. It's a tough table to beat for the money. | |
| VPI Scout upgades? The scout is a tough table to beat for the money without question. | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 nice | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 unfortunately, many of these cartridges are just not available any longer. | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 ll I have to say is I have listened to a lot of cartridges in my day and the Pickering XSV 3000 is still on my table. To me, that says a lot. Its why I started this thread. I know the Ortofon Black is a very well known MM cartridge and I have h... | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 There is no doubt that the stereohedron stylus is a special stylus and I have been listening for many years. That is why I started this thread because I do not think you can do better unless you spend a considerable amount more money. It lasts l... | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 anthonya, I think I know where you are coming from. Some of the cartridges I have used and have heard have not grabbed me the same way some of these older cartridges do. Thats why I am in a predicament. I also have an older Sonus blue that is very... | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 I am a believer in the longevity of the stylus in the XSV3000. I have never had a cartridge stylus last this long ever. I am not sure if it is the lower tracking force or what it is. But I am starting to think that it will not last forever with... | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 that Audio Note IQ3 looks interesting. Has anybody heard it? | |
| Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000 so from reading the responses, I would say that the Ortofon Black is a downgrade for over 700 bucks. |
