| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Franz456, Sorry if I got the tube size wrong. It is aquarium tubing,whatever size that is. Congratulations on your new tonearm.Wntrmute, VTA on the fly has to be done very smoothly,but adjustment knob is not very hard to turn on my table. Why don'... | |
| Are audiophiles people of sound prejudice? I have to agree with Tmsorosk in that the more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know and will never know. Everything you learn opens new doors to what you will never know. Just have to be discerning about what you chase and have fun in... | |
| Experience w/ Trans-Fi Auio Terminator Tone Arm? Hello Franz456, Don't worry about the pump and tank. It's easily made on the website with gas tank,1/4" tubing, and aquarium pump. I used 2' of 3" PVC precut at Home Depot with PVC caps and a pump. About $150 with pump and about 30 min. time. That... | |
| Used cables $1k - SF Amati and Bel Canto RF1000?? Hello Leeage, While I loved the Bel Canto amps, they rung my ears listening for long periods of time.Using copper speaker cables, Reality Cables, worked the best for me. Also used Analysis Plus crystal copper interconnect in front of amp. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I like all the banter, so no subtle hints from me. There was none of the usual competition last night for the Stanton d81.I think the technical aspect of alignment is not to be taken lightly. Why buy a great cartridge and have it sound less than w... | |
| Anyone using a NAD M3 with Maggies? I actually did hear that combo and it was very good. I was interested in the Nad but they would not let me take it home so I moved on. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Fleib on the Jico input. Will skip that one. I was able to get a replacement D81 as it seems all the audiophiles were arguing alignment. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Dean man, A BIG thank you right back at you on the Staton 881s. Your recommendation caused me to get one with D81 stylus and I am very impressed.Has anyone heard the non original stylus replacements like Jico, Ed Sanders, ect.?Sorry to inter... | |
| Is a hearing aid the best possible tweak for 50+ Who cares if you can't hear conversations, you can hear music. Best of both worlds. I think I would pay $3000 not to hear most conversations. lolOnly eat at places with good music! | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Petsound, I have not had the privilege of hearing that Clearaudio cartridge. Raul is really impressed with the Virtuoso which I also have not heard. I shall be on the look for it and will read your review . Thanks for the insight. It's hard to hea... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello jbethree, Yes , that was a good price too. I have a good stable of MF200 and 300 so I reluctantly sat that one out. Did you notice it was under MFF200 so the casual search did not see it.The sound can get a little strident if the arm is not ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Raul, I have owned the Astatic MF 200 for a while but it did not like the Project 9 arm. Almost sold it several times. It really sounds good with the new arm and am very glad I kept it. Picked up the MF 300 and was surprised it was as good. ... | |
| shindo aurieges .... Bolero32, another thing I think is important to this discussion. When I had the Belcanto amps I used copper IC's and speaker wire to tone down the amps, but when I changed to the Butler it was way to warm for me. I changed to silver and copper/sil... | |
| shindo aurieges .... I use a Butler amp with my Shindo Aurieges. The Butler input is 47k and the Shindo output is 5k ( Importer says it is actually lower on another thread) , never had any problems. Also used with the original Belcanto 1000 which on paper is a horribl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hello Stltrains, Congratulations on the AKG P-100le. Let us all know what you think of it.Think I'm going to, at this time, sit out the AKG p8 mess but will probably start looking soon. Lol.I have been hooked for about 3 weeks on the Astatic MF 20... |
