| Ortofon A90 review.... wrong choice of gear I feel fortunate enough to own a few decent cartridges. A few years ago I came across a great A90 from a dealer whose customer had to trade it in on an A95. I had it inspected and it showed no wear, and while hours could only be estimated, they we... | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance Placed my order for the Symposium Audio Segue Iso platform and for the Prime feet inserts. We will see how this works out, and how long the back log is. Last week I removed the Ortofon A90 from it and installed the ZYX 4D and got the overall prese... | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance @mulveling I use the second table for casual listening. Hate to burn hours on the Proteus when I am doing dishes, playing chess on the computer, surfing the web, or doing other things in the house. Yes the Cosmos is awesome, I would just like to s... | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance Well the ring clamp did not work out for a couple reasons. It will be going back. Will give the Symposium isolation base and foot inserts a try. | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance Chose to return the periphary ring. Unable to position it without off set, which of course puts unwanted force on the sides of the bearing. Back to step one.Cheers Mister Pig | |
| Upgrades to Sota Cosmos IV I have a Cosmos MK6, its a fine table. The mag lev bearing is top notch. The combination of it and the Total Eclipse motor/controller results in a noise floor floor that is way down there, and the focus of instruments along with timing is top shel... | |
| Maximizing VPI Prime Performance Couldn't find any links to MyMatWhy the choice for Waynes Audio? It seems to have enough mass to couple the outer portion of a record to a platter. The centering disc looks to work well. The price is reasonable. The point of this exercise is to ge... | |
| If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps... @almarg Ah yes, I see what you are referencing. And Henrys other amps have nowhere as low input impedance, this one seems to be an outlier. It does indeed look like a SS preamp with low output impedance is in order. That changes things. I guess we... | |
| If You Were A Swine Looking To Choose Between 3 Preamps... @almarg Are you sure about that number? In this review and comparison I found the input impeance of the amp listed at 100K. http://www.highfidelityreview.com/monarchy-audio-se-250-vs-h2o-audio-signature-100.html | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. The Avocet sounds like an interesting piece. I decided to go looking for one on line and see how its laid out. Unfortunately it does not seem to be configured in a way that makes it usable in a home audio environment. If there is a more user frien... | |
| Turntable Consolidation. Is it a Consideration? @rauliruegas I have considered the possibility of acquiring a 10R, but that will effectively wipe out my audio kitty. I changed careers a couple years back and no longer make the money I used to , and may never will again. So I have to be careful ... | |
| TIME'S CELEBRATION: ORTOFON FIRST CENTURY ANNIVERSARY ! ! ! ! ! I enjoy the Ortofon cartridges a fair bit. Have an A90 on a Denon DP75 in VPI plinth and Acos GST 801 arm. There is a Cadenza Blue on a Technics SP10 MKII in obsidian plinth and EPA 250 arm. Have no problems with either cartridge into a Liberty Au... | |
| AT OC9/II vs AT OC9/III I have owned the OC9 II, III, and the 50ANV. The OC9 III has a noticeably different presentation than the II. The earlier cartridge has always been voiced to be a bit cool in the best of circumstances, and in the worst it can be bright and lean. T... | |
| SAEC Making Tonearms Again! @invictus005 I am pretty new around the forums, but been a member a long time. I also know that the Technics threads on many sites can get heated, as well as the whole BD/DD/Idler dust up. So I don't know if this is just lure dragging exercise, ... | |
| Needing some help figuring out my Panasonic sl-1000 Turntable @bratsvt Great story on finding a nice table. Sounds like you got great value for the dollar spent, and it if you find the right buyer you could make a nice profit for you audio kitty. I am down in the Olympia area and am fortunate enough to have... |
