| Cartridge for Thorens TD-160 I agree with Viridian that a high compliance cartridge is the way to go with the TP-16 arm. I tried my Denon 103R and it wasn't very good, even after adding weight to the headshell. I've had both the Shure V15 and the M97, and for the extra money ... | |
| MMF 2.1 azimuth/tonearm lifter problem JohnnypeepersNow I remember - the cueing platform on the MMF 2.1 tonearm is actually attached to the tonearm. I had to put a pad on top off the cueing piston ("bolt") to keep the arm from being pulled sideways by the antiskate when the arm was low... | |
| MMF 2.1 azimuth/tonearm lifter problem My mistake - what you did is definitely azimuth - they must have added that adjustment since I owned my MMF 2.1. Given that, what I don't understand is how adjusting the azimuth could change the cueing level. I suppose having azimuth dead straight... | |
| MMF 2.1 azimuth/tonearm lifter problem 1) You adjusted VTA (vertical tracking angle), not azimuth. Azimuth is not adjustable on the MMF2.1.2) VTA is different for every cartridge. Adjusting to parallel to the record, as you did, is a good place to start. Do a search and you'll come up ... | |
| HD Radio...anyone heard any in home tuners? Kenyonbm,The bit rates would have to differ, as the HD maximum bitrate is 96k.David | |
| Duende vs Halo Tube Rings I have to agree with Elizabeth on this one, it's worth trying the inexpensive solution first. I got 50 industrial grade silicone o-rings from here:>www.marcorubber.com/material_selection.htmfor $10 plus shipping. I had a preamp with all octal t... | |
| Elvis - 30 Years Ago Today, RIP Viridian,What was Elvis doing in Portland? When he filled my car up with gas last summer he was still in Kalamazoo. He said he'd worked at the WalMart there but had to quit because the health care benefits were lousy, what with his high blood pres... | |
| Zu Druid questions Jack_dotson,What amp did you end up with? Did you stay with the Acurus, or go to something else? | |
| Apple iPhone Sound Quality? The iPhone has the same Wolfson 8758 DAC as the latest generation Video iPod, so it should sound similar if not the same. | |
| Pioneer TX-6500 lamps ? I bought all the new lamps for my TX-8500 at Radio Shack. The details and part numbers are on the page Viridian referenced above.Not sure about the meters since mine were fine, but the stereo light was out and required soldering. The dial lamps ar... | |
| Moving coil transfprmer? Bbaxley2,Your experience exactly matches mine. With the Monolithic and 103R I was running right at 12 noon on the volume control, and it sounded great. Thom is exactly right - just enough gain is way preferable to too much gain. I wouldn't change ... | |
| Moving coil transfprmer? Tbg,Sorry for the confusion; the post was for Bbaxley2. He's using the Monolithic.David | |
| Moving coil transfprmer? Have you tried the Monolithic at the highest gain setting without the SUT in the circuit? I ran my Denon 103R with my Monolithic PS-1/HC-1b combo and at 54dB had plenty of gain, and it was still dead quiet. I realize 60dB is recommended for the 10... | |
