| Hot off the press...Technics SL 1300G @stereo5 +1 I use SP-10R platter (heavy beast) on my SL1200G… sounds perfect! | |
| Transparent Audio power cords @ghdprentice "Power cords make a very big difference, and especially on amps. Generally more than interconnects and on the order of speaker cables (on amps). Transparent Generation five and six further lower the noise floor, improve balance across... | |
| Can hi-end cables benefit less expensive electronics? every audio product class has low end, mid-end and high-end designs, including cables. even with my decades long design and test experience, is very hard for me to provide opinion on "to do or not” for cable replacement move, without specifics pro... | |
| Still looking for a new Moving Coil Cartridge @stereo5 vm540 is good for everyday use, replacement stylus not expensive etc.. look for NOS AT-150MLX or AT-ML170 (AT-ML180) to open your system horizon! Other good professional grade AT cart is AT24 (AT25 with headshell), which is very neutral a... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? @rauliruegas "live MUSIC main characteristic that is its natural continuous flow” thanks Raul for `very fundamental question! some technical points to watch to achieve it: 1) very important for realistic sound is a phase information of different... | |
| Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder @rodman99999 +1 thanks! more proven variables to consider: room temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure, number of people… I found one big variables in my room how sofa cushions are placed, which affects room acoustics a lot :-) | |

| Should I get an SL-1200G @jmeyers "The SL 1200G is one helluva value!” +1 @atmasphere "The tricky variable is the platter pad” agree! I found old Technics SP10MK2 mat (NOS) is the best for 1200G! other good mats to try are thick SL1200MK4, and heavy Denon pad, sorry, d... | |
| TONEARM DAMPING : DAMPED OR NOT ? ? USELESS ? ? WELCOMED ? ? @rauliruegas great arms + headshells + carts don’t need damping! “rattling” arms, not maintained, lose/damaged bearings etc, can be band-aided by adding damping. it’s similar to speakers, not resonating by design cabinets need less damping than re... | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier @audphile1 "I use high quality power cords” understand! the problem with “high quality cords” is a different understanding of key performance and reliability metrics. for example extreme high contact pressure and the same time small effective co... | |
| Watts! How many do we need? @ifrmusic thanks for asking Accuphase support! being advanced analog circuit designer it’s not hard for me to estimate AB class amp linear (A class) range, sorry for not explaining to you all boring details of my calculation, which could be length... |
