| 2nd system thoughts on vintage receivers I can vouch for Harman Kardon HK 330c. Not overpriced, beautiful warm sound, punches way above its 20 watts. | |
| What Is So Special About Harbeth? Watch this. Harbeth feels the design and engineering of the cone is the most important piece. Plus everything is handmade with intense quality control, you end up with something special that absolutely nails natural timbre with beautiful details. ... | |
| Want to make sure I have the correct settings for my phono pre-amp I don't have the Jolida, but I will say when it comes to adjustable preamps - trust your ears. The whole point of the settings is to dial in the cart to best suit your system and room. I would try the 300ohm resistance setting on the preamp and se... | |
| Peachtree Nova 150 The Peachtree should be a great fit. I have a PS Audio Sprout100, which is about that price brand new. Small but mighty. Also good with 4 ohm speakers. I can also vouch for Audiolab 6000a, which would give you 75w at 4 ohms. Or if you want somethi... | |
| Stylus pressure setting Yes, 1g is good. | |
| Help with Cartridge choice I'm not sure what the effective mass is for that tonearm, so I'm not sure if these are a good match, but two MC carts I've been really loving lately are the AT33Sa and the VAS Ebony 103. | |
| Preamp Opinion +1 for Bryston. Granted I have an 11B but the company's attention to detail on build quality is exceptional across the board. Depth of clarity is amazing. | |
| What Monitors would you pick for my new office (bookshelf) >> I love the ProAc Tablette 10s. Closed cabinet. Stick em anywhere and they sound brilliant. | |
| Is there a good indoor FM antenna? +1 for the Magnum Dynalab. It's brilliant. | |
| Punchy integrated with DAC Have you checked out the PSAudio Sprout100? It's close to your price range. Love mine. More than enough power with 100 watts...DAC, Phono, Bluetooth, remote, amazing clarity...EXCEPT no coax BUT USB-type B and Toslink options...so you could in the... | |
| A plethora of turntables - help needed! I have the Linn Basik / Akito in one of my systems and love it. That's a bargain price. The VM750SH Shibata cart I'm using really makes it sing. Haven't had any issues with it in all the years I've had it. | |
| MC cart recommendation max $2000 for 1200G stock I run an AT33Sa on my 1200 MK2 (same mass tonearm as yours) and it's incredible. It's a perfect match as far as I'm concerned. | |
| Tell about your experience with your old Audio-Technica SL-1200s.. I have the MK2, all stock, with an AT33Sa MC cart and I'm not going anywhere. Sounds brilliant to me. | |
| New TT or new Cart? Technics content I'm running an AT33Sa MC on my SL1200 MK2 with stock arm into a Vincent PHO-701 phono pre and it absolutely sings. I would give a MC a go, and get another headshell, so easy to swap carts on Technics. | |
| Should I pull the trigger? You'll never truly know the pros/cons until you listen with your intended amp. Wouldn't you be going from 2-way to 3-way with Triangles? That's definitely something. They'll sound different for sure...but better? |
