| Whest Audio MC REF V MK4. My new toy. Lewm - James at Whest explained to me that when he designed the 30 range he wanted to make a more affordable phono stage directly from the V's design and he spent a great deal of time deciding on what he could take out of the V to end up with the ... | |
| Shelter 901 MkII There's not that much of a difference, it's just marginally better in all areas than the Mk1. With new Mk1's available for as little as 1200 dollars and the Mk2 costing twice as much, it's a huge amount more for little additional improvement, from... | |
| Whest Audio MC REF V MK4. My new toy. That's a great review Dcarol. I'm now really looking forward to my Ref V, which is arriving later this week... :) I've worked my way up from a PS20 to a 30r, then the 30rdt and I now have the 30rdt SE, as you did. Upgrading was a no-brainer for me... | |
| Shelter 901 MkII I have both 11flat6 (and the 90x). The mk 2 is a bit more refined all round than the mk1, and just as exciting to listen to, but there's not a great deal in it, in my experience. | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Have you thought about getting your ears checked? I had a right bias in my system many years ago in the way you describe and went to get my ears syringed - and it disappeared. My left ear had a far greater buid-up of wax than the right, which was ... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help "I am going to throw the entire system in the ocean and take up another hobby."NO!!!!Give it to me first.Then chuck yourself in the ocean.Oh, do get it the right way round Audioraider... ahem ... ;) | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions Yes Dmgrant1. Now check your VTF and move the arm back and forth from the armrest (let it rest in it) to the gauge you're using several times (I'm assuming you have accurate stylus force guage). Is the tracking force fluctuating wildly? If set at ... | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions Thanks Dmgrant1. It does work, but tiny movements make huge differences to the VTF, and they're not consistent - ie I can set it to 2g and then try to set it to 2.1 but it's impossible, a tiny movement up (or down) can add 1g to the VTF! Also, whe... | |
| Ortofon RS-309D opinions I'm using a Mint with a 309-d which is set at Denmark's recommendations (316.6) for a 309s, in Downunder's message. The cartridge is twisted in the headshell so the offset is correct. Has anyone noticed the downforce adjustment is useless and you ... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help I slightly mis-read your post Audioraider, I thought you had tried connecting the Fozgometer directly to the cartridge pins, rather than just at the tonearm lead ends.Try taking the cartridge off the arm and connect the Fozgometer directly to the ... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help By the way I've had loads of cartridges over the years, and still have several, and the same thing has hapeened to me on 3 occasions. I think you're just very unlucky to have it happen to the only two you have! It may be fixable - Expert Stylus in... | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help If you're switching the cartridge leads and the Fozgometer shows the levels switch as well then there's no doubt that both of your cartridges have a faulty channel. It has to be that as there's nothing else connected.I'd go with Vegasears suggesti... | |
| What cartridges would best sound an Ekos arm? Good reply Misskuma, but in my experience a phono stage is the most important - assuming a decent high-end turntable (oh, endless discussions/battles maybe to come..!) is in place. I'm assuming Raul has a good turntable Misskuma.The phono stage is... | |
| What cartridges would best sound an Ekos arm? What phono stage are you using Raul? | |
| What cartridges would best sound an Ekos arm? Hey Raul,You say "There are some vintage MM/MI cartridges that for " penauts " are a challenge even for the A-90"Are you serious? Really? What... ?Yes, the A90 is "something". Something that I've never heard before in a cartridge. It's out there o... |
