| has anyone else tried Lloyd Walkers latest tweak would be great if someone who has the walker crystal could run by the hippie shop, grab a similar $5 crystal and compare the results heck, maybe i'll try it... | |
| MC5200 or a MC275 with preamp if you can find a way to listen to the MC275, i would do that. years ago i was auditioning audio research amps - the dealer played equivalent AR SS then AR VT100 amp, and the VT 100 tube amp killed it. was night and day! same speakers, source, cab... | |
| Desire upgrade but uncertain where to begin If $100 was not a typo, im not sure you will be upgrading your cart - might want to wait. maybe use $100 to tweak it (tt base, feet, mat..). If you meant $1000 - find a goldring Eroica used/new $500 - tight powerful base lots of detail - no harshn... | |
| Sumiko Blackbird Cartridge maybe send it to soundsmith - they may be able to fix it (that is if your repair shop is not a cartridge specialist). they can at least confirm it is unfixable. | |
| Lyra Delos and Soundsmith i think you should call peter and ask him. most likely he will be busy when you call but he will call you back if you leave a detailed message. I was not aware that soundsmith also used boron cantilevers - most of us who have had the ruby upgrade ... | |
| Mapleshade Tonearm Resonance Control Kit sooooo i could not find anyone who used this, decided to go on ahead and try it . sounds good but it's ugly this is what i found:http://brooklynaudiophile.blogspot.com/ | |
| Cartridge yup i am just now trying out the mapleshade tonearm resonance kit just starting to listen on an already heavy sme 3009 - it may solve your problem. will post an initial review next week | |
| denon 103/wood, benz glider, AT ptg33, or AK audio I think i agree with you tobes. there is something magical about the 103. while the ATptg is refined and makes clear, detailed, warm music, the 103 plays the emotion in the music… i think most of the distortion that unnerves me, may come from the ... | |
| denon 103/wood, benz glider, AT ptg33, or AK audio sbrow - sounds like a very good match- the AT33ptg is super refined,I had to sell mine for financial stress 2 yrs ago but - wish i hadn't. I have also found that the smallest tweaks at the front end (mapleshade, soundsmith, herbies, etc) have made... | |
| denon 103/wood, benz glider, AT ptg33, or AK audio Just did a short comparison of the 103ebony to the Vanden Hul MC-10 Special:http://brooklynaudiophile.blogspot.com/ | |

| Are they Worth Repair Re-tip my dude! I used to do computer…. but when the music is vinyl right, man - stress relief, mood lifter, …and if you got Nina Simone on vinyl, all the chains will melt away … plus if you change your mind …$250 carts sell in no less than 3 days... | |
| DL-103 compatible with AA Puccini SE MC phono? hey man, just checked the specs on your amp - the 103/103r should be a good match... | |
| DL-103 compatible with AA Puccini SE MC phono? I think so so long as your MC gain is at least 58db. I run a denon 103 on vtl 2.5 with mc phono stage that is 58db gain - but thats on the edge unless you very sensitive speakers (93+). | |
| CB Radio interference Thanks all for the support I will continue to explore and experiment with these ideas. but im not goin for the tent;). I do have some copper plates that i may try in various configurations around the phono stage/interconnects. I live in new const... |
