    What mm cartridge would you recommend?

    All of the suggestions above are worth consideration. I've tried a few but not all, FWIW I would go for a Garrott Bros P77i if it meets the budget. Their other range the K1 to K3 have a strong following here in Australia. The P77i has seen off a few carts in my collection including the 2M bronze...

    Shahinian Obs 2 & Naim NAP135’s

    I'm not sure if you will find this brand on your side of the pond but I've heard a big Dynavector amp on the end of some obs and it sounded pretty good. We then hooked up an ME 1400 amplifier made by Peter Stein in Aus and then they came to life. Both amps are a bit dry sounding for me, I've...

    New cart reccomendations

    Ive tried the 2M Bronze,Black and a 103. A Stanton 881s really sounded better to my ears than all three of them. NOS stock sometimes come up at a very reasonably price in the U.S. The only downside of this wonderful cart is it tracks very, very low so records have to be perfectly flat. Other...

    Tron Seven Phono

    I kind member of an Australian audio forum has loaned me some of his tubes to roll, i currently have put a pair of Amperex 12aux7's in and after an overnight burn in i was able to have a few hours to myself and play some records. From the very first note i knew these tubes had the magic i have...

    Tron Seven Phono

    Thanks Charlie and Graham, I'll stick to some 12ax7 as you have recommended but i find i am unable to turn up the volume on my ME25 pre and feel i am missing out on a little oomph from my ME750 power. The psvane tubes that i have liked the most so far were in the Tron7 for a few years so feel...

    Tron Seven Phono

    I'm going to resurrect this and after reading it again realised i posted on this topic back in 2010 #38. I suppose the Tron brand has always been in the back of my mind and i was close to ordering a convergence from Grahame after reading the glowing reports from Topoxfordoc so when a Tron 7 came...

    Record Cleaning Fluid

    Are you saying quiet records are now more noisy after cleaning or records are not sounding any better after a clean? I think its the first and you have a contamination coming in somewhere, a dirty cloth, brush or fluid maybe? I keep my cleaning cloths and brush in a small box the area i am...

    Levitating turntable?

    A bit like my well tempered classic Lol. I cant believe they used a warped record in the first promotional video and someone that looked like it was the 5th record they had ever held.....

    Vinyl not sounding up to par...?

    Not sure where you are at with this Fezziwig, i too have this combination and my findings are the same. Cd and digital sounds great through my Meridian GO6 and Logitech transporter. Using the phono stage in the preamp was less than stellar. I now use an external phonostage into an Aux input and...

    Skinheads

    As a 9 year old in 77 i remember getting my mum to dye an old t shirt black for the end of year school disco, i sat at home for a week before the event joining safety pins together swapping between "The Clash" and "The Jam" I knew both bands but had no idea what was going on. It must have been...

    Frankie White Vinyl at Sainsburys

    It is well worth a listen, including a nod to Gerry Marsdens "Ferry across the Mersey" One thing Mr. Hollywood never forgot was his humour and where he came from. Back of the net listening. I met him once at Cream.

    Vinyl - toes back in the water - advice on what to buy?

    You don't even get one chance with vinyl,put a scratch on it and it's good for nothing for most people. Notable pressings in great condition with all the inserts and add on's, should command a higher price. It's just that prices have increased due to the popularity and the fact records get...
