| Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it. This enterprise (mixing, recording, listening to sound) is entirely subjective. That's why these questions always have 2 camps (at least). Like www.records (and others in the thread) it's that "$3k" comment that prompts me to jump in.It's Tuesday ... | |
| How good can a mono cartridge be...? Ebalog,Another route to consider is getting a second table, one whose cost is about what you'd have to lay out for armboard and modest tonearm. Make that table your dedicated mono table for your experiment. Perhaps a Rega table with the 250 or 300... | |
| How good can a mono cartridge be...? Hi. I have a humble system so I can't tell you how the "modest" set-up will compare to your superb stereo set-up. Then again, no one from out here can honestly know what might "sound better" to you, since it's a purely subjective experience.My sug... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Just bought my 3rd EDR.9 from French guy. Looks like I'm set for a few years! Thanks again, Raul -- this cart makes me very happy. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Well, I spent the weekend comparing the ~$150 EDR.9 to the ~$1,200 Ortofon K-B. I've had the K-B for a few months and have loved every minute of listening to it. I broke in the EDR.9 for about 15 hours before doing a head-to-head listen.Both carts... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Flyingred,I bought 2 EDR.9s, and just checked the small instruction sheet that came with each one. The Spec page for each lists recommneded tracking force at 1.5g precisely -- they do not give a range. My computer is tied up right now rendering a ... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Flyingred, why are you tracking at 0.79g when the manufacturer recommends 1.5? Thanks. | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik I've put about 15 hours on my new EDR.9 now, and am getting ready to compare it to my Ortofon K-B. I did switch them once yesterday, listening to a Mozart String Quintet twice. I wasn't doing critical listening but was surprised anyway that when I... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik Paul,I have 2 older, stock Yamaha DD tables -- I used the EDR.9 in the YP-D6. I just switched it to the YP-D8 -- a heavier, better table. By the way, a side benefit of this cart is that it's easy to mount on Yamaha's removable headshells because i... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik As I said above, I took Raul's word and bought the Empire EDR.9 from the French vendor on ebay. That was 8 days ago. It arrived today, in perfect shape. Over the next few days I'll be comparing it to the Ortofon K-B I have mounted on my main table... | |
| Dyscoveries on Dyna, Denon, Supex, Technics,FR,Ik That was an interesting set of insights, Raul. I took your word for it and just bought an Empire EDR9 on ebay. There were 2 for sale, new, both from a guy in France. It cost $146 shipped to US. I'll be comparing it to my Ortofon Kontrapunkt B, a $... | |
| FWIW... Yamaha RX-v2700 / Anthem Pre1 Combination Of course. What did you expect? Yamaha is one of the only HT receiver builders even including a phono stage these days, although at the price points they sell the receivers you gotta figure that they can't be putting more than a few bucks toward t... | |
| Review: Denon DL-110 Cartridge Actually William Thackker is now selling them for $119, plus $12 for shipping to US. I just ordered one from a UK company that is shipping to US for $128 total -- a few bucks cheaper. | |
| Setting anti-skate Y'all seem to be ignoring warjarrett's thoughtful remarks. | |
| Speaker cable for Green Mountain Audio Callisto Petland, Sure it's bad to "ignore cables as a component" and have "no clue where the ceiling is with" one's current system. But I would argue that one can raise the ceiling of one's system far higher by taking the $1,500 it costs for an 8' pair of... |
