| Rega RB301 Tonearm Contact Rega if you want 100% certainty, but my best guess is 11.5g based on the fact that all other specs are identical to an RB300. Check out this spreadsheet at Vinyl Asylum. | |
| Quicksilver Mid Mono's I haven't heard the M60s or Silver 60 Monos, but I owned the Mid Monos for a while. I liked their sound quite a bit. They were silky smooth. I was using Penta Lab KT88SC's. I would have kept them if my speakers were more efficient, but I wanted mo... | |
| kt88 vs 6550 You shouldn't have any problem. They're interchangeable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6550 | |
| Cowboy Junkies: Lay It Down fav cd? I have most of their cds. Lay it Down is one of my faves, but I recently discovered Early 21st Century Blues. It has such a soulful feeling that grabbed my attention. It's a mix of originals and covers. They do a version of "One" by U2 that's a mu... | |
| DH Labs Silver Sonic I appreciate all the comments. The Revelations and Air Matrix sound interesting. I'm currently using Kimber Silver Streaks for my sources and Purist Audio Musaeus between amps and preamp. I'm not unhappy with the sound, but I'd like to hear other ... | |
| Affordable High Watt Tube Amp Wanted I agree with Jaybo. Dynaco is your best bet. Plenty to choose from in the classifieds right now. Check it out. | |
| J.A. Mitchell TecnoWeight May I adjust, in the Planar 3, the cartridge force by only using the weight, leaving the traking force in zero ? Yes you can, but you'll need a stylus pressure gauge to set the tracking force. What about the bias adjustment ? I also heard that in ... | |
| J.A. Mitchell TecnoWeight I heard that I won´t get such a big improvement installing the Tecnoweight, comparing to the tungsten weight(Rega) which I noticed was already installed in my RB300. That´s true ?Hernani, it's not true. The metal composition is irrelevant. It's th... | |
| J.A. Mitchell TecnoWeight 05-19-08: DkzzzzI read numerous accounts about weights being pretty much useless on RB300 or RB600 arms.I've never heard anyone who has installed a Tecnoweight say they didn't notice a difference. It's a major upgrade on an RB300. I can't recommen... | |
| Speakers secured with bungee cord You might want to contact Pedrillo. He doesn't use bungee cord, but he hangs his Merlin's:http://cgim.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/vs.pl?vevol&1195530405&viewitem&o4 | |
| Question about Denon 2910 read errors I don't have problems with my 2910 unless the disc is scratched. | |
| Recommend speaker kits with cabinets I don't have any experience with speaker kits per se, but I've purchased drivers from http://www.northcreekmusic.com/. Their kits are very well respected. The owner, George Short, has worked for some impressive companies like AR and Apogee. Check ... | |
| Why are all the Virtual Systems mega-assaults now? 05-08-08: SufentanilFcrowder, I can understand that someone might gain some pearls of wisdom by looking at the uber-expensive systems, but I feel that I learn so much more about value and synergy from the more value-oriented virtual systems.Michae... | |
| pre-amp unacceptable noise level? You should read this 10Audio review:http://www.10audio.com/rogue_metis.htmParticularly noteworthy:"Downsides? A few. The Rogue is loud. There's much more spurious noise through my 89 db sensitive Soliloquy 6.2s than I'd like, and not just tube rus... | |
| pre-amp unacceptable noise level? There is an audible humming from the listening chair 10ft. away.Just to be clear... is it hum or hiss? If it's hum, the advice above is all very good. If it's hiss, I suggest replacing the tubes with low noise variants. Tube hiss is common, but it... |
