Thank you for the referrals everyone and offer of help @fdlsys, PM sent.

Dear Forum Friends, There's been an unfortunate accident in our home and I now have a Linn Troika cartridge with a bent cantilever. Might there be anyone recommended that is brave enough to straighten the cantilever or service the cartridge?

Hi desj, I was lucky enough to own a 305S for about 9 years as well as a 305D for approximately 2 years, with both being in the same excellent condition. Funny enough, the 305D went and the 305S stayed as the reliable workhorse. Very reliable and fairly robust. The black plinth and black lid is...

Let?s have it! Hopefully a nice shopping list.

Thank you very much for the responses guys. @itscraig, that will be interesting indeed and I've sent you a pm

An older type Apple Airport Express with optical output for Airplay

In other words; a built in DAC of a 5000 Series Marantz AV Amp, would be similar to a ....... external DAC?  :help:

Hi Guys, I have a 5006 Marantz AV Amp and have always wondered what the quality of the on board Marantz DAC is like in comparison with some of the many external DAC's that are available. i.e. Would something as simple as an AudioQuest DragonFly be better already; or would it have to be...

My sincere apologies guys, it is indeed the 4th generation and current unit with hdd that we are talking about. I've corrected the subject line as well for future searcher's benefit. I was sincerely hoping that it would have an optical out in order to enjoy better quality apple music all with...

Thanks G, If one was in the market for a new DAC like a Vivere, which has all digital inputs except an HDMI, would this be an easier connect, or should it be HDMI to HDMI?

Hi Guys, I'm very new to the digital arena, and would really appreciate some advice on the following setup; Current Setup: Apple TV Gen 3 HDMI out connected to Marantz AV HDMI input, thus using the Marantz DAC. Hopeful Setup: Apple TV HDMI out connecting to external DAC with two RCA type...

Had an old cart which I wanted to put on an old tt as part of the fun. Under the microscope it was the dirtiest affair I have ever seen. Apart from all the dust, hair, etc it was entirely caked in a thick black tar like substance. Looked as if it had done some hard work in a smoky pub somewhere...

Coming up for the Tori Amos concert tomorrow and look forward to meeting some of you guys on Saturday! Big city, bright lights  :Whoohoo:

Hi Guys, I am busy frying my brains trying to figure this one out.  :walled: What is the best cartridge around the R5k mark to go on either a Grace G707 or SME S3 light weight arm?  :help:

It is the one on the coast and in brand new condition, however it seems like I am back at square one with the 1060 as a pre... What would the right phono stage be for something like this? Will go and have a listen.

Using a STD305D and a Garrard 401, much of a muchness between the two and they sound very nice. The upgrade deck I am considering is either a Michell Gyrodec, Oracle Delphi mk ii or a Linn LP12. Just saw the Synthesis has no phono input  :vsad: Any suggestions of a good value for money...

Thanks A_R. I did consider sorting the source out properly, but right now it is not too bad and one always wonders about the law of diminishing value in the higher priced decks. I would love to elaborate, but I'm hoping not to foul the valve category with too much vinyl. The little 1060 was...

Hi Guys, I am considering an upgrade in my stereo system as they say it is all about the music... I have enough money for either a great tt or an entry level valve amp. The unit that I have narrowed it down to is the Synthesis Shine integrated tube amplifier. My hope is to make the biggest...

Thanks for all the responses on this one guys, great forum  :dop:
