| Listen with your skin. Do any of you recall the articles some years ago about the deaf gentleman who listens with his hands holding a balloon? He had serious systems, and said he could discern differences in cabling. I suspect that his experience included more of his ... | |
| Why can't I load thumb drives? Thank you for your suggestions. You have answered the basic question I had, whether or not a thumb drive is useable. I will format and proceed accordingly. Thanks again, Bill | |
| Why can't I load thumb drives? I have tried 3 different thumbdrives and every time the copy begins OK but slows down to almost nothing after a few GB, and starts indicating errors in the files. Finally I give up. As I said above, a friend told me that memory chips are just ... | |
| Why can't I load thumb drives? My mistake. gigabytes, not megabytes, and copy not transfer. I was tired... Bill | |
| Worth upgrading from MC611 to MC901? FWIW-I run MC1000s and an MC2000 into N801s in a similar configuration. Adding the MC2000 was a definite improvement in my listening experience and I have no regrets. I don't know what kind of an alternative you mean, but if I were in your posi... | |
| Harmonic Technology Magic Link soldering issues I run 2 pairs of 7m Pro Silway II to my amps. My amps are McIntosh with vertical jacks which stress the cables. 3 of the cables started giving problems, and when I inspected the ends I discovered what I considered to be really poor workmanship i... | |
| Tonearm for vintage mm cartridges I would add the SME series 3 to your list. Designed for what you have in mind. Bill | |
| Thorens TD-320 Also, this this type of mounting is for non-threaded cartridges. I think that your Hana has threaded metal inserts in it's mounting holes and I don't see how you can mount it on the TP16 headshell. Maybe there's a way... Bill | |
| Thorens TD-320 Hi Joe I just looked at photos of both arms. The TP90 arm photos all showed conventional looking cartridge mounts on what looked like standard plug-in type headshells. The TP16 arm turned out to be the arm I recently installed a cartridge in. ... | |
| Have you heard the Goldring Ethos Cartridge? I have an Ethos. It betters the EAT Jo No. 5 (which I really like) in resolution and dynamics in my system. It's the first Goldring cartridge I have owned and so far I'm pretty happy.Bill | |
| Replacing the SME 10 stock tonearm If I recall correctly Graham arms used to be available with SME-style bases. I don't know if this is still available.One other thing to consider if you want to be prepared ahead of time is the phono lead. SME connectors are rotated 90 degrees fr... | |
| SME V cable Hi The difference is only in 90 degree rotation. Where it matters is how the cable exits the tonearm under the table. Bill | |
| Quick Compatibility Question I guess I will be the odd man out. In MY system, 69.5db is marginal for that low of an output cartridge. However, I am pushing my amp pretty hard when I listen at loud volumes, and doing so requires high volume control settings. With 73db of ph... | |
| Phono stage for 0.2mv cartridge? I respect these opinions but I think the system is OK. It sounds really good to me, and I admit that my concerns are kind of fringe, because the volumes being discussed are higher than I think most folks usually listen at. Actually, the gain is ... | |
| Phono stage for 0.2mv cartridge? I have no lack of horsepower. I am passively biamping B&W N801s with an MC2000 and MC1000s.Thank you for the conversion, Al. I have wondered what the db gain is. Actually, I am using my 0.2mv cartridge with the preamp phono stage with good ... |
