| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? With a B&O, you’re limited to sound-smith for new cartridges, absolutely not a bad thing, they’re great but not the cheapest | |
| I have been on the hunt for the best turntable I can buy. Any suggestions? I was using B&O tables with a sound-smith cartridge until the anti skate gave out on both. I replaced them with a MoFi turntable (with the record weight). I had no idea some of my old used vinyl could actually be silent | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Exactly right. I’ve appreciated concise constructive comments here, but I think I’ll head back to the TR2 forum and enjoying music without hyper vigilance. Which by the way a new-to-me amp is allowing. It’s all I need.Van Morrison’s Poetic Cham... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Thanks for all of your input. XS137 - a couple months ago I talked to Musical Concepts/Design and they were doing B&K mods.i just lept on a chance for an in home trial of a used Rogue Cronus Magnum II this afternoon, and raced up I-5 to snatc... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk Well, millercarbon has got me reading all I can find on Raven. My concern is I’ve only used a B&K 200wpc (ex442) for the 15 years I’ve had a real stereo system. It is driving refurbished Ohm Walsh 4s and two REL T5 subs. The subs are using ... | |
| Possible cause of harsh mids? Thanks. I hadn’t thought of that. I’ll give it a try. I think I may have kicked it up a notch way back when I got the phono preamp (Musical Surroundings NovaPhonomena) to bring the phono volume up to the level of the tuner and CD player. The p... | |
| Possible cause of harsh mids? Can spitty sibilants and “static” in high amplitude passages also be an amplification issue? I upgraded my turntable and think I have the alignment of a nice soundsmith cartridge fairly dialed in using Peter Lederman’s instructions and test recor... | |
| How Do You Store Your Record Collection? Recommendations Please! Rackit on Etsy by Ryan Tinsel. You can stack them to the ceiling if you want.Steve | |
| Help me understand compliance! I just posted by experience on another thread, but it fits here too When the second of my B&O RX2 turntables gave it up, after a fair amount of research, I ordered a Mofi Studiodeck because I knew I would need complete adjustability to mount ... | |
| Turntable matching to MC or MM cart. When the second of my B&O RX2 turntables gave it up, after a fair amount of research, I ordered a Mofi Studiodeck because I knew I would need complete adjustability to mount the Soundsmith SMMC1 B&O cartridge on another turntable. In that... | |
| Musical Concepts modification of B&K pre and amp? Unsound,You are correct. I have no itch to buy/sell/swap gear in “the search,” though I certainly understand it. If I had the space it would be more Triumphs, maybe an old TVR. I’m probably leaning towards Musical Concepts if they have replacem... | |
| Musical Concepts modification of B&K pre and amp? Thanks bdgregory. Except for my cartridge, and now the turntable, I have never bought new. Nor have I sold any thing i’ve bought to try something different. Brand new that equals what I have seems to be a step impossible for me. Though I did s... | |
| Musical Concepts modification of B&K pre and amp? Do you know if only the volume pot is sealed? I've been cleaning all my contacts before the new turntable is in the way, and I could not find the right size allen wrench or whatever is needed to get the knobs off. If they are all sealed, maybe I... | |
| Turntable help, please! I recently embarked on the same search in the same price range. Because I had only used Bang and Olufsen turntables that you don’t adjust much, I also spent a lot of time learning about turntable and cartridge set up. I settled on Mofi Studiodec... | |
| Musical Concepts modification of B&K pre and amp? I should add I have read all the related posts I could find on this forum, but some were 18 years ago, and I have been using my amps almost that long. So, looking for an update .Steve |
