hungrych Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 After months of having what seemed like every conceivable roadblock, I officially am rocking vinyl again. Fuck yeah! A Pro-Ject RM-5 with hopelessly cool carbon fiber tonearm, Denon DL-103, and Monolithic PS-1 w/ HC-1 PSU. It's dead sexy, so getting to finally listen to all the records I've bought in the last few months is that much better! Here are some more pics: You can't really see it at all but the anti-skating weight just hangs on a little string, it's really cool. I'll try to get a better pic sometime. Obligatory action shot: Fuck yeah!!! So I'm pretty happy that something I've bought actually works for once! I'm relaxing to a 2 dollar Herbie Mann LP and the clicks and pops just add to the ambiance. I'll clean it better later, right now I'm just happy it plays! All pics taken by my brother, as I suck at photography and he does not.
jinp6301 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 uh it might be only me but I can't see any pics EDIT: my comp sucks, they work now
hungrych Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Posted July 31, 2008 I see them fine, they're photobucket links.
909 Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 great looking tt and very nice pics. is your denon a straight 103 or is it the "r" version? assume the ps-1 has enough gain... congrats! be forewarned vinyl is highly addictive and may cause digital anxiety.
postjack Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 grats chuck! i'm loving the DL-103 on that gorgeous table. I'm long admired the mid to upper line pro-jects.
deepak Posted July 31, 2008 Report Posted July 31, 2008 Nice one! I've been spinning lots of vinyl lately too Reminds me I need to hop on this DD man train sooner rather than later.
hungrych Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 Did the clamp come with the 'table? Yup. great looking tt and very nice pics. is your denon a straight 103 or is it the "r" version? assume the ps-1 has enough gain... It's the regular version. The PS-1 seems to have enough gain, but maybe I'll add an MC transformer one day.
hungrych Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 So how you liking the Kefs? They're pretty great, although I have yet to get the setup totally perfect. Sometimes I do feel like a need a little more low bass, so I may add a sub eventually, but other than that I love em.
909 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 the 103 is a great and legendary cart. you might experiment with the (washer plate) weight that came with the cart since heavier is most always better with that one. i've tried both, with and without, and prefer the weight with my 110.
DocHamm Posted August 12, 2008 Report Posted August 12, 2008 Nice looking unit. Wish they were that cool looking and fibrous when I actually had LPs.
