| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... Relax, IRS is being fudged to death by a certain high government official. | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... Ummm... So, Mulveling, you have a CPA who accepts your word for the fact that you lost money on a sale the proceeds from which were reported as a 1099K via Paypal? Yes, that is the case for me too, that I sell for less than I paid, but unless I ca... | |
| I'm a little perplexed/surprised by TMR and who sells to them..... What about avoiding the 1099 that now is issued by Paypal for every item you sell where payment was handled by them from the buyer? Do you still see a 1099? It's not fun when you are selling gear via Paypal that you paid for in the first place bu... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation Thanks, now I do see the cable. I assume the linestage, if any, and amplifiers are to the right of the stack. | |
| Phasemation MC Nagaoka MI is your best bet in Tokyo. MP500 is an excellent cartridge, and IMO it competes with or betters any MC anywhere near its price range. | |
| They should charge more for it… Better to just have a chip imbedded in your auditory cortex that directly receives a signal coded for those neurons to interpret as music, so as to dispense with an audio system entirely. | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation I don’t see any phono cables. Where is your phono stage? Maybe it’s the box on the bottom shelf? Or is that a control unit for the TT motor? | |
| They should charge more for it… With all due respect, the testimony of your buddy delivered third person and without any backup information (like does your buddy have a conflict of interest, what else in the system besides Wilson speakers, which Wilson speakers, what TT did the ... | |
| They should charge more for it… Funnily, I have never liked anything audiophilic that is made from carbon fiber, except some Yamamoto and Oyaide headshells I bought in Tokyo. CF tonearms (e.g., the one made by WB) and speakers to my ears have a dull-ish coloration that I find a... | |
| antiskate disc Yeah, the AR XA tonearm had many more flaws than merely the absence of AS. But Vilchur was an articulate and erudite defender of it. | |
| MM Cartridge recommendation Forgot to mention the obvious and often noted fact that Nagaoka MP cartridges are MI types, not MM. Not that there is anything wrong with that. They work fine into any phono stage that offers a 47K ohm load and at least 40db of phono gain. (A lit... | |
| antiskate disc Come to think of it, when the original AR XA was marketed (late 60s or early 70s), most of us were using very light weight, very low VTF MM or MI cartridges (e.g., Shure and ADC). Low cartridge weight and low VTF make for a low skating force, com... | |
| antiskate disc Say what you may about the low recommended VTF of Shure, ADC, and several other vintage cartridges, but the fact is they had very high compliance and tracked LPs just fine at the factory recommended VTF. It’s not logical to condemn low VTF per se ... | |
| MM Cartridge recommendation Mwh, when you say MP200 is a sweet spot, does that mean you have auditioned several others in their line-up? | |
| White debris on front of cartridge Schmutz won't foul the operation of an optical cartridge? |
