| Mono cartridge recommendation @heretobuy I'm not looking to put together a pure mono system, though the thought did cross my mind. I suppose one could move one of their speakers to the center and disconnect one amplifier channel without having to spend for a completely separa... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation Thanks to everyone who responded.Further research leads to further questions :)I'm seeing some mono cartridges that use horizontal generators vs others that seem to be just strapped versions of their stereo counterparts. The ones that are strappe... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @andysf @billstevenson @chakster Thanks for the info. Between classical, jazz, blues, and rock I probably have maybe 4 or 5 hundred mono records, maybe more, I never thought to count. They span from early jazz, blues and classical lps to the ro... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @lewm Thanks for that. I did notice that in some of the literature for some of the cartridges, it did mention bridging the left and right. Also some mentioned different stylus profiles. I currently do use the mono switch on my preamp when liste... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @flatblackround Thanks for the advice.My primary table is a VPI TNT 4 with an ET 2.5 tonearm and various MC carts on different armwandsThe new one coming is a VPI sold Frankentable with the plinth from a scout, the platter and bearing from a TNT ... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation I don't rule out the list. I just have no idea what the cartridges sound like. That's way more important to me. I don't choose my components by a list of specs. If I did I wouldn't need to post here or ask about the sonic signature of the cart... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation @noromance Thanks! I already saw that list, but it doesn't really tell me what the sonic signature of the cartridges are. | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation I have a Grado woodie stereo. It's a nice cartridge, but it's a bit on the warm, lush side for me. I use it on an old Denon table occasionally. | |
| Amp question for Maggies I just went from a PS Audio S300, which is similar in power to your D130, to a Bryston 4b SST2 for my 1.7is. The 500+ watts into 4 ohms, even at 90db average levels is quite noticeable. Transients are cleaner and more dynamic. More power is better... | |
| DIY cables question The best sounding connector is no connector. Just go bare wire into your binding posts and forget about termination. | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? I owned a 3B for 39 years when a channel died and I sold it. I replaced it with a PS Audio S300, which did an excellent job.Last week, I bought a pre-owned 4B SST2. Still nothing bad to say about the S300, but the Bryston is simply better and is... | |
| What is the most important component to consider while building a new system? For analog systems, the turntable/tonearm/cartridge as a system. If you don’t get it off the record properly, there’s nothing you can do downstream that will fix it. | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" "Transformative" | |
| Will a digital transport burn my Dac Theoretically, it could, but it would take a catastrophic failure caused by something like a lightning strike. I think you're safe :). | |
