| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi,excellent maths no doubt.Let's look at some practical part of it all then.1) Is the **effective** mass of an arm increased if the counter weight it moved further away from the pivot bearing?(I think so, because the mass / moment is increased)2)... | |
| Stylus Force Gauge Has anyone with a graded (dynamic) VTF e.g. SME-V ever confirmed whether the gauge or the arm's scale are well matched?Same could be asked about e.g. SME-IV (static) VTF a.b.c.d.e.f. weight scaling.A. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high "Quod erat demonstrandum in realitas mobilis versus modelus in spiritus ?"Which was to be demonstrated in actual motion (real life), compared to a mental model (i.e. theoretical only))?Latin can be handy, but mostly in legalistic situations --thes... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi,Raul, et al. I have just received my SAS replacement stylus from LP-Gear, alas they send a VN45HE SAS which is for use with the V15 type IV cart, and not the VN35HE SAS for my V15 type III cart.Does anyone know, if this VN45HE can be made to wo... | |

| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi T_Bone,let me pick a small _bone, say Chicken_ not a T_bone :-)>>> Occam's Razor would suggest...<<< "One should not increase, beyond what is necessary, the number of entities required to explain anything"I think your scenario... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Hi D. and Frogman,I thing your reply did not fully cover what Frogman was on about. But let's see if he concurs with my notion.A. | |
| Dynavector 20XL Hi Tketcham, and K...I second the azimuth adjustment check-up, B U T as long as that refers to 'lateral' azimuth and more easily identified by "zenith" i.e. the turning left or right of the cart, and not turning left or right of the head shell (wh... | |
| Cartridge Output Hi Nsgarch, it's NOT my enquiry, as I said on top to Al also, :-)I know what **I** can use, but it's Jsman that asked the question. Now before I say, go back to my first recommendations, you should have noticed I did NOT mention any HIMC...Let's g... | |
| Cartridge Output Hi Al,not my enquiry as it is. But I use right now 40dB (60dB is jumper option) on phono-boards with 18dB line-pre input gain of my ML326S.This works very well with 5mV MM cart (Empire S1000, Shure V15, EEI 500, P77, etc.)Otherwise I use 60dB phon... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias OK, what about some POP 'side-kick(s)'Peter Gabriel "SO" (detailed but may be a bit hot mastered?)Paul Simon "Graceland" (explosive percussions, voices, the lot)A. | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias D.thanks for the "Time Out" vote. Good to know it's available still/again on vinyl --- any source you'd like to mention?As to: >>>ambient and individual details in a fairly quite audience are about the utmost low level <<<Oh, YES... | |
| Help: DSOTM Sounds better on CD than LP Hey Arnold_layne,Sounds like you just made MY day :-)>>> If you are using standard US pressings of Pink Floyd albums, they will sound dull and lifeless<<<I though it was just the case with SA pressings! I'm still surprised how ma... | |
| Cartridge Output Hi Al,OK, you are then saying that he has really 40dB phono plus ~ 20dB line-stage fully open?If so, then get an MM with ~ 3.5mV - 5mV and you are of to the races.Fair comment I guess, just not the way I understood it. 60dB phono with unity gain (... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias D.I hear what you say, and as such there can be no argument. If however everything (voices, instruments) sounds just right, and the applause does not (it's what I try to relate) then it doesn't sound like a VTA issue to me. Unless, we are saying t... |
