| 8K for a one-time listen? Neurotic audiophile gets up 20 times during the side to tweak vta then sits down content just as the needle goes into the run out groove. | |
| What turntable and TONEARM brands sound best with the Denon DL103 and DL 103R? MC's Audio Technica ATP-12T can be had for not a lot of money and works very well with the DL103.For more money the AT 1503 and Fidelity Research FR64s. | |
| SME Tonarms, SOTA Vacuum Turntables, and 10" Records Having owned a SOTA vacuum turntable I get what the op is saying.It won't suffice to just turn the vacuum off ... which on some (most?) SOTA models can't be done anyway as the platter motor and vacuum are controlled by the same switch.Without a (1... | |
| what type of cartridge/ stylus should i buy Get a Jico SAS stylus for the V-15. | |
| what arm for kiseki agate ruby? I used a Purple Heart Saphire in a Zeta tonearm for quite a while in back in the day. Perhaps not a great match on paper but I got great musical sound, so I echo Viridian's suggestion re: a high mass arm. I still have the cart but unfortunately no... | |
| Any Sota Sapphire experts out there? I had Sota turntables for over 20 yrs and never had a problem with thei SMEV that I used on a series 3 Star a few years back. The combined weight of the arm+armboard+lead shot in well had to come to a certain weight(can't remember exactly how much... | |

| Decisions, decisions.... Which Sumiko arm is on the Sota?If it is "The Arm"(rather than one of the cheaper Jelco made Sumiko arms) then I would hang onto it and maybe get the Sota serviced at the factory. | |
| Best rock bass player My list (includes funk & soul) ... most already mention but here goes anyway.James Jamerson.. underpinned the Motown sound. Marvin Gaye sought him out to play on 'What's Going On' .Paul McCartney for his melodic lines listen to I Want You... | |

| Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions? Agree with many of the above but must addCesaria Evora….the barefoot diva from Cape Verde.Try an album called 'Cesaria' …one of my all-time faves.Virginia Rodrigues…Brazil…check out an album called 'Nos' | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Downunder,AFAIK The revived(ie:since the brothers passing)Garrott Bros business is still operating in Melbourne. A few years ago I bought a Blue Oasys on A'gon in apparently mint condition ..... alas it arrived without a stylus on the cantilever. ... | |
| Any decent TTables with a semiautomatic arm I'd consider a Dual 701. Direct drive using the EDS 1000 motor....some info on this if you do a search on A'gon. I'm planning a diy based on this motor. | |
| New cables for Thorens TD 160 Agree with Almarg. If you don't have a multimeter then try swapping headshell leads around for 1 channel. eg: connect the red headshell lead to the green pin on the cartridge and the green lead to the red pin on the cartridge and see what happens.... |
