| Cartridge loading bydlo,First, the sequence of events is dependent on the cartridge and the pre-amp. One of the premises of this entire thread has been the limits of 'some' pre-amps.This article is an extension of the first Shure article I referenced, and it goes ... | |
| Any opinions on the Thorens TD 148a Jay,Just a suggestion; Thorens has the twice the price ($3999) automatic TD1601 turntable that has been reviewed, just search "Thoren TD1601 review". Recommend you read those reviews to get a possible feel for how the TD164A may sound, most table... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Not to belabor this thread, but its my understanding that there are fundamentally 3 different turntable drives: rim drive, belt-drive and direct-drive, and there are pros and cons to each, and each has has been successfully executed. Some think ... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Chakster, First my applogies for my miss spelling of your handle, so much for my fat fingers. Otherwise, to address my opinion of the Technics 1210GR, as an engineer, I can appreciate the engineering that has been applied. But, I am no fan of it... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Chaksterk If you you read the earlier posts of this thread, I provided a detailed cleaning process. Otherwise, being sensitive and trying to read between the lines of what Jay's desire is, my recommendation would be a fine American product, the S... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly Chakster, I note from your profile that your origin is not America. As an American Military Vet, and civil servant for decades, I have served based on the foundation that All persons are created equal endowed by their creator with life liberty an... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner All,For those of you that are using UT and using large quantities of distilled water, something to consider is a demineralizer, and this is the best value I have found, https://dirinse.com/product/d-i-rinse-pro-50-unit/. It kind of expensive (but... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner The chemist is correct for aqueous cleaners; years ago, CFC-113 was a near perfect solvent, but the Montreal Protocol put an end to that. But, let me counter that there is no one cleaning method for all types and levels of contamination. If you ... | |
| A Worthwhile Untrasonic Cleaner Anovak,I received the Tergitol 15-S-9 and have worked out a good manual cleaning process. Manual clean with a brush, and then two rinses, first with tap water to remove cleaner, and then rinse with distilled water from a spray bottle, overall, us... | |
| Cartridge loading Bydlo,That article was modeling the mechanical resonances as an equivalent electrical circuit. I was trying to show that the mechanical resonances were more complex than I originally thought, and if the cartridge goes into physical resonance (whi... | |
| Cartridge loading All,Re-reading my response above, I failed to address the actual question. So, did some more research and came upon the site, http://pspatialaudio.com/index_help.htm which has a wealth of historical data, with detailed info, lots of calculations... | |
| Cartridge loading atmasphere,The article I referenced was only to address the affect of inductors. When you say, RFI, are you talking radio frequency interference, or in general, electro-magnetic interference (EMI)? EMI encompasses conducted emissions (CE) , cond... | |
| Cartridge loading Atmasphere,No arguments of the electrical-mechanical fundamentals, but the aspect is not well doucumented for cartridges, and therefore, the nay-sayer(s) will debate. However, that being said, this document shows how the phono-preamp design can a... | |
| Cartridge loading All,This artcle http://www.gammaelectronics.xyz/s_1987-8_cartridge-tweak.html, makes the following statement "The importance of the resistive load across the output of cartridges was reported by J. Peter Moncrieff in 1980.[2] He found that a lower... | |
| Frustrated with Vinly A problem with many new records is that they have a poor sleeve, often only paper and many have a lot static, and a carbon brush will not remove the charge. Other than maybe the Gruv Guard or Zerostat, wet cleaning will get rid of the static char... |
