| Best ss phono with volume control second the GCPH - fantastic stage for the money in stock form. | |
| New upgrade alternatives for the Technics SL12x0 As someone who has heard the stock SL-1200MK2 wiring, I can say with certainty that the "darkness" issue is, in fact, the stock wire. It's the weakest link on the table by a long-shot.I know conventional wisdom with regards to the KAB upgrade path... | |
| MintLP arc protractor Johnbrown's suggestion is perfect and exactly what I did with my setup when ordering from Yip to insure everything was going to work with the parameters I provided him. | |
| MintLP arc protractor Yip is a great guy and makes an outstanding product, but he can be a bit, how should I put it... "over the top" with regards to insuring that your spindle to pivot distance and effective length is exact. It took well over a month of back and forth... | |
| What would happen if we had convenient turntables I agree with Creativepart - what on earth are you worried about in regards to the lead-out groove?I have been running fiddly high-end tables for decades and recently purchased a Technics SL-1200MK2, replaced the arm with a Jelco SA-750D fluid damp... | |
| Anyone familiar with Focus Audio FS6? A link if anyone is interested:Focus 2008 Signature Series | |
| Dynavector DV 20X-L -- which MM will better it? Very strange thread...I have to ask - what phonostage are you using? I can't help but think that something else is amiss here. What you're looking for: "tight punchy bass, treble extension resolution and detail" are the very definition of what the... | |
| phono pre-amp suggestions for music hall mmf-5.1 I've got to be honest - I'd don't think you're going to find anything in that price range that's going to beat the Cambridge 640P, especially with a MM cartridge like the GL2200. This should give you a very nice setup. To my ears, the PhonoBox II ... | |
| phono pre-amp suggestions for music hall mmf-5.1 What cartridge will you be using and what price range are you looking at? My gut reaction is a Cambridge Audio 640P unless you're looking to spend more.Your speakers, amp and preamp are well above what the PP2 is going to deliver, keep it at the o... | |
| New upgrade alternatives for the Technics SL12x0 Another alternative source of Rega and SME armboards for the SL-1200 is SoundSupports out of the UK.SoundSupports SL-1200 ArmboardsI have one that I use with an Incognito wired RB-250 on a SL-1200MK2. SoundSupports sell on E-Bay quite a bit too an... | |
| RB-301 Spring "ringing" when VTF set to "2"? Thanks guys - I'm wondering now if I should send the stock RB-301 back and just get an Incognito rewired RB251 for the same money since the RB251 has no spring. The weight of my cartridge won't allow me to disengage the spring completely with the ... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? I agree... to a point... DopogueI tried several loadings with the DL-103 in my system - I still couldn't get it to sound "right" though, especially in the midrange. I did, however, find the best match at 500 ohms, as well.My current Dynavector 20X... | |
| Wyred4S or Belles for Usher Be718? I finally took the plunge into the "Class D" pool and can declare that I shall never look back upon conventional Class A A/B again!I wholeheartedly agree with Goatwuss though - there are prime examples of all "classes". I auditioned some mediocre ... | |
| Denon DL-103 -- Was it a mistake? My advice - move on - I did! My DL-103 now sits quietly in its box after hours upon hours of trying to find the magic some seem to have found with it.I think the Ortofon Red will be a much better match to your system and is a more well-rounded car... | |
| Dimple in speaker driver cone Come on Thorman, you can't stop there! You left out the best part - the deflowering of the slotted port..."Dear Stereohouse Forum - It all started when a pair of twin Thiel 1.6s showed up on my doorstep. I knew it was going to be a night to rememb... |
