    Stanton 681EEE New Cartridge Equivalents

    Thanks for responding.... the AT 740ML seems very good according to reviews and manf data. Considering that i have the 681eee cartridge already it makes more sense to me to go with a shibata replacement. I have the ortofon 2M Black on my primary table and am absolutely pleased with its sound. I...

    Stanton 681EEE New Cartridge Equivalents

    I have an Ortofon 2m black on my Clearaudio performance dc turntable. I love it to say the least. On my secondary system, i have a stanton 681eee with a 68es stylus. It sounds good but nowhere near the detail of the Ortofon 2m black. This has made me wonder about the Jico "Shibata" styus as a...

    Rogue Cronus Magnum II Tube Rolling

    Well rogue called today and said the reason that my Sphinx had been dead on arrival was due to it being dropped by the UPS driver. Thre reason was that the transformer moved into the circuit board which punctured the transformer... WOW !!! So they are fixing it for their flat rate $175 plus...

    Rogue Cronus Magnum II Tube Rolling

    In my C-Mag 2 i finally settled on genalex gold lions. I have mullards, and bugle boy, and thtelefunken black diamonds i can try in the sphinx beside the jj thats in it. That should be a good selection to start with. I like the fact that the class D seems to be more energy efficient as well as...

    Rogue Cronus Magnum II Tube Rolling

    That is good to hear. Ill be driving my klipsch quartets which are 97.5 db so power is not a main issue. My Alon 1 speakers in my primary systemare a different story, 87 db but the CM2 drives them easily so im sure the sphinx will as well. Honestly im mostly hoping that with the tube preamp that...

    I bought a woo audio wa-2 tube headphone/preamp last year for my headphones and i used it maybe 3 times so i decided to use it as a preamp hooked into my adcom 5400 amp and a pair of klipsch quartet speakers as a secondary system. I wasnt happy though with the sound of the woo audio as a...

    Proton D1200 power amplifier

    The two pieces of gear that i had that i discovered by accident that were total shockers as far as how they exceeded my expectations were the ProtonD1200 amp & a Kyocera R-11 receiver i paid $35 for. That receiver was something special... cosmetically a little beat but old school Marantz quality...

The power button was starting to get wonky on the Proton and instead of getting it repaired correctly, i figured letsomeone else...

    Rogue Cronus Magnum II Tube Rolling

    I see I never followed up. Well I sent it back to rogue. It was a traitor that went bad. I am second owner but I bought it at 4 months old so instead of the flat $175 fee for non warranty they were gonna charge me $60. I thought that was fair. I then asked if there were any new upgrade or mods...
