| Ortofon --- A90 or SPU 90th? My $0.02 worth:1- The A90 and the SPU 90th (in fact, all SPUs) are completely different cartridges. Only an SPU sounds like an SPU. (you will find that either good or bad)2- IMO, both cartridges are superb. The A90 is probably the better overall c... | |
| Lenco Restorers in the US? I have worked with Mirko at Classic Turntables for my Thorens TD-124 work. I believe that he also provides parts and restoration services for Lencos as well. Mirko's strength is that he makes his own replacement parts, and the quality is top notch... | |
| Going to Munich, what should I not miss seeing? Munich in the summer is a fun place! Lots of things to do, don't need a car because of the excellent subway systems (S-bahn and U-bahn). There are a lot of cute but touristy things to do in or around the famous Marienplatz and the less famous Max-... | |
| SUT shootout Public announcement - I screwed up (again). The Cinemag Blue is an 1131, not the A3440AH as I typed in my response above. I believe that line is: "It looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking..." | |
| SUT shootout Jcote,I'm in Thousand Oaks. Have the Audiogonians restored the private email function yet? If not, just send me your email and phone as a question for one of my listings and I will contact you. | |
| the perfect tonearm Any tonearm can only be considered "best" is it meets your needs; be that compatibility with your preferred cartridge or deck, method of mounting, or price.For the cartridges and decks I prefer, I would have to say that the new Ortofon TA-110 ($1,... | |
| SUT shootout Tobes,If you are (or will be) in Southern California, give me a shout. We can compare the two SUTs, as well as any others I might have lying around. Bring your HM-7 unit and it will be a real party! | |
| SUT shootout Tobes,When we did the direct comparison between the Choir Audio SUT-H (HM-3) vs. Bob's Cinemag Blue unit, I had the SUT-H set at 7-40 Ohms (+26dB). Bob's Cinemag 3440AH SUT was set to 1:16 (+24dB). But as I recall, we tried both units both ways, a... | |
| Multi Arm Table You have three options:1- buy a new deck that can accommodate multiple arms. $$$2- build or rebuild a deck that can accommodate multiple tonearms. Start with a Thorens TD-124 or Garrard 301 and... $$-$$$3- buy a vintage deck that can accommodate m... | |
| SUT shootout I would like to append my response form 2010:I met Bob Sattin from Bob's Devices at the T.H.E. Show in Newport last year (2011). Bob is a very pleasant guy, during our discussion expressed genuine surprise that I preferred the Hashimoto-based SUT ... | |
| Conrad Johnson Sonographe sa400 or McCormack DNA-1 Having owned both, I would strongly suggest that you get a DNA-1. I agree with Soix, Steve's upgrades take a very good amp and turn it into a great unit. You will want to take a little care with preamp matching. | |
| Sutherland PH3D I have used the PH3D with the Dyna DV-20X on my old Aries TT. It sounded quite good as I recall. The Sutherland phono stages provide an absolutely jet black, quiet background. Excellent build quality as well. Highly recommended | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! You system seems like it is already pretty warm and lush sounding. Adding warmth through the cartridge is not going to do anything to tame reflections and room node issues.If you really want to add warmth, an Ortofon Classic SPU Royal N or SPU N E... | |
