| interesting phenomena in the cutting room atmasphere, so true. If there was true mastery and understanding of vinyl playback there would be one design for all tonearms, turntables, cartridges, and phono stages. But the range of designs and materials is even more diverse than ever. So as y... | |
| Why would anyone want 180g records ? PS: Read the article on 180g records that Rushton provided (link above). | |
| Why would anyone want 180g records ? jeffdill2, don't know where you read that 180g vinyl lasts longer because of the additional thickness, but that's not how it works.If you pressed a 100g LP and a 180g LP using the same pressing mold, they both have the same groove indentations(mod... | |
| Levinson No 39 fussy about cds As jafant suggests, it may be due to copyright protection encoding. I have that problem with my Rega Apollo. Try ripping an unplayable CD to your PC and then burning it to a CDr and see if the CDr will play on the No 39. That's what I have to do w... | |
| Phono Stage Help PS: The internal resistance (DC resistance) of the 17D2 cartridge was found here:http://www.dynavector.com/products/cart/e_17d2.htmlDynavector recommends loading the 17D2 at 100 Ohms (or higher) resistance. I found 200 to 300 Ohms sounded the best... | |
| Phono Stage Help srafi, try using the following settings for the 17D2...At 60 dB of gain (no jumpers) the output level should be fine.No jumpers for capacitance.Jumper on F/V when using input impedance for low output moving coil cartridges.Start with 200 Ohms or 3... | |
| Tube options for Jolida Hi, markeetaux, I swapped out the stock Electro-Harmonix tubes from my JD9 with some Mullard style tubes from Groove Tubes. They're the GT-12AX7-M tubes. I noticed that the price has gone up quite a bit from when I bought them. They made a big imp... | |
| How often do you upgrade your turntable? ... bought a good vinyl setup that I'll probably keep for as long as my first entry-level turntable.Regards,Tom | |
| How often do you upgrade your turntable? I used an entry-level turntable for almost 30 years before I replaced it with a (better) entry-level turntable. And then I upgraded turntables twice in 5 years. For the first 30 years I was a real vinyl cheapskate and wouldn't spend the money on a... | |
| Gyro SE suspension problem... Solution was to buy a lightweight tonearm mounting plate...Problem solved: Success! Lightweight acrylic plate. | |
| Micromega Mydac is a pain.. Windows upgrades haven't affected my turntable. '-) | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges I tried buying a couple of used phono cartridges and both were defective. One had a badly worn stylus (was offered as "nearly new") and the other had a bad suspension (cantilever would drift to one side when lowered). I lost money on the first car... | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Exhibitors at shows may be more concerned about someone dropping a record weight on the turntable than trying to get the absolute best performance out of a compromised room setting. Electronics shows are not where published reviews are conducted.A... | |
| record weight .... correct weight? Good question, without a good answer; or rather, not a consistent answer...The down force applied to a record sitting on a platter is accomplished in three ways: A weight, a clamp, and/or suction. Three methods, but the same objective of getting g... | |
| Reaga Apollo At My Local Trhift Buyers remorse was never something I considered. Mild irritation at times, but I don't regret purchasing the Apollo. I've just come to accept that a few CDs will have to be rippped and burned to a CDR in order to play them. I'm more irritated at t... |
