| Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"? Chosenhandle,hm, that 'smells' like some $$$ issue to me. Again, if his stuff was moved at 5k then again going a ~ 2k also, maybe he is not interested in too much low profit business after all?I'd be little surprised you'd get service for 5k...I g... | |
| I built my own Turntable and here are the results Hiho, Lewm,very much agreed to say it again. In fact some designers speak about 'closing the loop' (of resonance) and I guess just what Hiho mentioned.Axel | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tobes,sounds all very interesting in deed. In fact I been digging up my Empire S1000ZE/X, going through some related experience. Great, musical mids, bass a bit on the soft side and somewhat more prominent, treble less prominent then most of my ot... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tobes,you did go way up with the VTA/SRA, yes?According to the 'Brothers', also mentioned in the spec. it like 5 - 6mm arm UP!Just to make sure.Axel | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Hiho,y.s:>> I rather have a better stronger motor to get the dynamic I want than to get it from a high mass platter <<As you have noted I am with you actually. BUT without (and I said it much earlier) a VERY! good motor controller your... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Hiho,well, well, well.What you seem to overlook is the reality of it all. Just have a look at HOW MANY tt manufacturers use exactly that 'rubbished' approach and then ask yourself why.I think a STABLE AC motor (not DC which is prone to drifting) i... | |
| I built my own Turntable and here are the results Lewm, Atmasphere,the first thing I noticed by the way ---- but then do we want to get that critical? We are not on Fm_login's site after all :-)Axel | |
| I built my own Turntable and here are the results Great effort congartulations. What actually made you do it?Can't see it was to save any $$$ in the process :-)Axel | |
| Thinking of buying a solid state amp Semi,you say:>>> As for Pass X350.5 or XA.5, I am aware of the heat they generate but they are still cooler than BAT 150SE. <<<That so?!I got a 350.5 and it gets hot in the summer period that you can hardly touch it! In fact that... | |
| Dual Turntables Audiofeilsad but true. DUAL was a true non-hi-end item in the days before digital and then folded like so many other volume manufacturers, Thorens, comes to mind here.The Thorens name got 'picked up' again as was DUAL name, but I think Thorens is ... | |
| Sensible upgrade from Denon DL160 Robdoorackyou mention:>> "Bass feels a little flabby at times" is a pretty good description of the Black Cube << Black Cube? = M2 Black??What ever, it is exactly what a M20FL super would NOT be doing, it has a very defined bass, - mayb... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Mark,since you ARE in the know about PL(L), servo loops, 3 phase conversion, quartz reference, current supply ability, and on. Have you any comment on the SME controller implementation, from what I posted earlier or any of your own more detailed i... | |
| 30 ft rca run too long for a phono to preamp? Hanaleimikemaybe, just maybe what I did in terms of a wall mount (not grown on my own tree) could work for you too. Have a look at my system.The tt is jolly close to the speakers going easy to 35Hz and I get no feedback to my pick-up what ever, I ... | |
| Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"? Flg2001as I said earlier, a 2.2k Mantis (snake-wood or what ever)seems a very good MC pick, and that is MC-fine in every respect. If it was 5k as advertised by some 'operator(s)' I'd be not so sure of course. In fact there will be very few, I any ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,y.s.:>>> you are using those VTA spacers. <<<Hard-wood block spacer, ONLY to set up the V arm, I.E. a measurement spacer between arm-rest and bottom of the arm-base, 9.8mm to be exact. I then just pull it out from under the ... |
