Thank you for clarifying. :) The triton 1.r's were recently on sale and for $5k for the pair they really were a fantastic value. Great sounding speakers. For 2 channel listening you can't go wrong.

I just happened to be reading reviews and recently bought a pair of the Triton.1Rs. I read the said review and here is a quote from it: The breadth of the One.Rs' soundstage so impressed me that I pulled out an oldie just to take advantage of it. - Stereophile Nowhere does it mention a...

I've had mine since the 90's and it still operates flawlessly. I've owned much more expensive manual turntables over the years and always come back to the Denon. Sounds great, looks great, and is a joy to operate. I use an Audio Technica AT33sa cartridge on it and the sound is sublime. I wish...

If you like Mac, look into the MT 10. Much more substantial. Audio Classics offers substantial discounts on trade-ins sometimes in near new condition.

Very nice...Looking forward to getting mine in a couple of weeks and hooking up my Marantz TT15S1. Let us know how you like yours.

With this hobby the 'craziness' NEVER ends. : ) Be curious to hear your feedback on the 252.

Nice! Mine is a few weeks out. Let us know how you like it. I'm most curious about the phonostage.

Yeah, you'd have to buy Mac's outboard phonostage or something comparable to digitize vinyl...for my uses: namely spinning vinyl, this seems to be a perfect solution and will be my first Mac product. Wish there were some reviews or owner feedback though.

I also went ahead and ordered the new MA 252. Seems perfect for a vinyl only set-up. My only concern though is the quality of the included phonostage. I called Mac and spoke with tech support. Tech support told me that the phonostage in the MA 252 is not the same circuitry used in their higher...

Looks like the cart I am using is a bit tail up. So I would need a thicker replacement? Like 3 mm.

Did you use the Herbies with the rubber Denon mat on top? Does the Ortofon Quintet Black have a Shibata stylus? If so what is the advantage of the Shibata? I've never owned a cart with one.

You might just be the person I needed to chat with. I have a Denon DP-47 f and have been using this table since the mid 90's and am very fond of it. I like MC carts and I went from an Ortofon MC-3 Turbo,to an Audio Technica OC9 ML II to an AT 33 PTG II and it sounds excellent. Recently Audio...

If you look at Audio Technica's European website there are several high-end carts listed that are not available for some reason in the U.S.The Art F7 and F9 and also the AT 33 PTG II and new At 33 Sa with a Shibata stylus are listed there.

I've been using the AT 33 PTG II for years and it is a great cart. I've purchased mine on eBay (from 2juki) as they are unavailable here in the U.S. I had before it the OC9 ML II and prefer the PTG to the OC 9 II. To me the PTG has more detail and a more open sound, (I've never had any...

Yup...I posted in two places. Why is that relevant to illustrate? You're lucky you've had no noise issues. I'm not the only one that has had these issues.

What do you recommend?

Yeah it can be a struggle. Sometimes it can be so frustrating chasing audio nirvana I've gotten to the point of wanting to just dump the turntable and get into Hi-Res digital. The old days were simpler. As a kid I had my BSR turntable (I think my parents got it at Sears) and I just enjoyed...

The manufacturer suggested >100 ohms for the AT cart. There was no specific number listed to set it at. I'm guessing this has much to do with personal preference. Anyway after some experimenting, I settled on 300 ohms. Less and the sound had a closed in quality with recessed highs; more and the...

I see from the threads that most people don't understand loading and capacitance or the effect on frequency response and rejection. Most of the questions I see are about gain selection. YMMV doesn't even begin to describe how critical the relationship is between a cartridge and phono preamp...

Thanks, I agree. The build quality of the JD 9 was somewhat mediocre. Even the power button on the front was off center. It's very hard these days to audition equipment. The Jolida didn't sound bad by any means, but the upgrades need to be done to achieve this. You shouldn't need to have...

s As I stated, by the time the Jolida was upgraded, it was only a few hundred more for the Manley Chinook (not near triple the price). The Jolida JD 9 with upgrade I now lists for $900. It's not exactly cheap. Upgrade prices: (from Jolida) JD 9 and JD 5T Upgrade I: The addition of a resistor...

I wanted to share an update on my Jolida JD 9 MKII I reviewed some time back. Personally, I can NOT recommend it. After moving into a house with a nice size living room (from a small apartment) and being able to really crank the volume and having the time to really listen to the Jolida JD 9, I...
