| Technics SL-1700 feet That’s for SL-1200mk2+ turntables. The SL-1700mk2 (and 1600mk2 and 1800mk2) have a proper spring suspension of the TNRC platform supporting the spindle and tonearm while the 1200 has a solid hunk of rubber. That’s also why the 1200 feet are better... | |
| Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests It is a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. - Winston Churchill. | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? Law of diminishing returns is a real measure of value. You cannot get value in the remainder. If you don’t care about money, go ahead and spend $500,000 or hit that glass ceiling. The rest of us are laughing all the way to the bank. | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? There’s much to be said for a good cassette deck. I’ve been extremely happy with my Sony TCK-570 3 head deck and my Technics RS-M234X with dbx. Naturally that is a medium that very few would allow themselves to enjoy today. | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? Physical media as a mainstream commodity was killed by streaming and downloads. CD has few redeeming qualities anyhow. | |
| Anyone use a cartridge demagnetizer? Reality check here: phono cartridges don’t use ferrous wire in their coils. No, repeat, no chance of them becoming magnetized. | |
| Want to get into Analog The Technics SL-1200mk2 is a risky proposition. Most of them have been thrashed by rap-“DJ”s and will need all moving parts replaced. As OldSchool said, a fully automatic SL-1600mk2 is an vastly superior turntable, but very rare as are its SL-1700... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @tomcy6 sleepwalker, reality check:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vinyl-what-if Tomy the only person needing to do a reality check is you. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @rauliruegas But at the end we are talking of digital against LP/analog alternatives. Remember too that today CDP comes with 32/384 DACs or at least 24/192 and this is a characteristic that makes everything different when you listen to any CD. CD ... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Micro line styli have signicantly better wear characteristics than Shibata and elliptical, let alone conical profiles. About 2:1 compared to Shibata and 3:1 compared to elliptical. Price (value) is not unimportant to most of us. A $300 cartridge i... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @rauliruegas Do it a favor and don't be foolished by vinyl, no way my friend. Today year 2019 digital is way superior to and from here ahead the digital distance between it and vinyl will be wider and wider because analog developments stopped to ... | |
| Which courier do you prefer? As a Canadian who orders things frequently from the US, I hate UPS with a passion. They charge an arbitrary handling fee amounting to about $100 each time, no matter the value or size of the parcel. Postal service is much more reasonable. | |
| Any Audiophile Fuses UL approved? Don’t be tricked into the myth of “audiophile fuses”. | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS I’ve got two VM540MLs. One on my SL-1700mk2, one on my SL-Q2. They floored me with the detail an clarity of presentation. You will not be disappointed! |
