| Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A??? At the risk of asking a stupid question...is the SME 5 pin din connector different than other din connectors, or will any 5 pin din connector fit the iv.v arm? | |
| Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A??? Monk -Well, as a matter of fact, there was some talk of a custom phono stage a little while back, nudge nudge, wink wink ;-)Funny, the Xono didn't work out that way in my system, mind you, it was good, so was the EAR. I'd be interested to know wha... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A??? Wow guys - I just spent the morning looking over your systems pretty carefully, in short I am very impressed! I would have looked your rigs over sooner, but have spent most of the week prepping to conduct a musical. Now that opening night is over ... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A??? Okay, it's not like I don't appreciate the input, but y'all need to understand two things... First, I am not unhappy with the sound I'm getting from my combo, but when I state that there is a weakness, I think you need to take into account that I ... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A??? Guys, First off, a sincere thanks for your comments. I have a feeling that you haven't had a chance to compare my phono stage with others that you would consider superior - so you'll have to trust my judgement when I say that the phono stage is no... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for SME 20/2A??? Jfrech - Hard to say exactly what I'm looking for sound-wise. Over all I'm relatively pleased with the 17d mkII in terms of tonal balance, so I think I'm really looking for better resolution and detail, and maybe a tiny bit fuller and firmer botto... | |
| I need a cd player that is fun to listen to Try a Musical Fidelity A3 or A3.2 - they do lots right, don't break the bank, are reliable, and make a decnt transport if you ever get the urge to add a DAC. All in all a very decent player. | |
| Recommended cartridge for SME V arm Both great suggestions - I would add a dynavector 17D mkII to your considerations, it comes new for less than $1000, and works well with SME arms. | |
| What is under your TT, cheap islolation? I made a very simple stand out of 5 pieces of 1" thick MDF, 20 pieces of 2" ABS flanged caps, glue, and 20 cheap inflated rubber balls from the dollar store. Just over a year later, my SME 20/2A and I are still very satisfied. | |
| Turntable in $2500-3500 range for SME IV.Vi arm ? While I agree totally with Jfrech, an alternative would be one of the Avid turntables - they sound very good with SME arms. | |
| The best "no fuss" turntable for $5K or less? Agreed on the SME 10; a fantastic table for the money and very "fuss-free". | |
| musical drummers...who are they ??? Peter Erskine - for God's sake don't forget him. | |
| how much to $pend to claim i am an audiophile? It has nothing to do with money. You will only be an audiophile if you buy those headphones, then stick them in your freezer overnight and claim that they sound much better the next day; more open with smooth upper mids, pin point imaging, and tig... | |
| Does one NEED multiple amps? No thanks - as far as I'm concerned one one good amp is far more satisfying than a collection of mediocre ones. | |
| How to be an online curmudgeon? Great post!!! Mac rules, Windows drools... ;-) |
