| Any word on the Blue Angel "Mantis"? Fernandoy.s.:>>> I don't mind if this is an MC or an MM cartridge <<<And if it costs 10x more? No sweat? I'd take the MM and get more vinyl for the balance...Cheers, | |
| Sensible upgrade from Denon DL160 Hi Jxxx,If you can find an NOS Ortofon "M20FL super" you be off to the races = ~ 150$! I had some to say about it and you can look it up here:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1200430667&&&&&st450Greetings, | |
| Alignment tool for SME V + Shelter Hi Nsgarch,maybe we have to set out our trades/professions for some helpful insights? I'm a trained mechanical engineer and actually have even WORKED with chisels on METAL. Next, I do furniture- and speaker-building, so again I use wood chisels (e... | |
| New Record Hey Bill,you need to think about servants man, get a gardener to wash your cars and Weber, and if you can't afford it, think moving to Africa :-)Axel | |
| Alignment tool for SME V + Shelter Hi Nsgarchok, ok, ok, so VTA is totally, utterly, completely, unrelated to SRA you say. So you'd be then saying that the stylus is also unrelated to the cantilever?! And maybe then the stylus' contact-line is unrelated to the stylus?Oh, oh, please... | |

| New Record Pops,y.a.: >> ...what is the most you have cleaned at one session? <<20 -30 max. I know when my legs start to buckle that I give it a rest.It's why I do not feel bad about having only found 3-5 second-hand items, since its enough clean... | |
| Platters: acrylic v. aluminum. What's the dif? Hi Jpxxx,I have heard ~ both types of platters, with the same cart though not on an oracle, but some generalizations may apply.It is pretty uncanny how at least in some set-ups a different 'sound picture' is painted, we are talking 'shades' or nua... | |
| SME V vs 309 Sonic Differences Gsoravilnow just to throw the spanner into the gears.I'm listening to an NOS ~ 150$ "Ortofon M20FL super" MI (moving iron) on my V arm and it give the Jubilee a run for the money!! Big time. In fact it sound better than a Kontrapunkt-B in my rig.S... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Hi,having read further through this thread one thing comes to mind: The actual length and shear thickness, mostly width of the belt in use.Some say that this is of quite some importance and actually kept the belt VERY short (pulley under the platt... | |
| Direct drive/rim drive/idler drive vs. belt drive? Hifitimey.s.: >>>...the motor bearing was destroyed from the junk tight rubber band belt the dealer used<<<Now what 'table would that have been, I ask?To get a belt THAT tight, the motor if it was out-board would simply fall over... | |
| Alignment tool for SME V + Shelter Howdy Nsgarch,well now didn't I read that 'VTA' post, don't know, maybe I did? - didn't I read enough VTA stuff already? Uff...:-) SRA, VTA, what ever, I do know the difference picture's right there in my head (as I said, didn't I read enough yet?... | |
