| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All,I'm looking for a bit of perspective on two 'old-timer MMs'- Empire S100 ZE/X, and- Shure V15 III MRThe first one: Empire S1000, comes with some 'almost unheard' of good MM spec. for channel separation, frequency response etc.(but, also rec... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi Perrew,thank you, and back to the subject.When it comes to new tonearms, affordable ones, it seems there is the RB250, 300, plus some already more pricey mods by 'Origin Life' and then what..... ?How helpful it could be, to have some value-adde... | |
| Riaa curve Eldartford,you mentioned the cutting lathe and applied (inverse) RIAA. I would like to know about % deviation found with well regarded 'commercial' phono-pres (not boutique audio). Looking at the few test graph showings in audiophiles measurement... | |
| rega rb300 tonearm lift not working - fixable Hi Msiebers,the stuff (the very thick silicon) does not leak as such --- it 'creeps' but only very little. In fact all silicon does creep, that's why it is 'poison' in anything with open/unprotected contacts.The bottom of the lift is open, because... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi,I'm still looking for a clue, given that MM carts like the 'simpler' single-ended designs, and some that find: - the fewer components in the signal path the better- it could make for a 'simple' but great MM only design. (Don't forget a tube)In ... | |

| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi T_bone,gee, my man. Go got that so right, like you'd been doing this for a living! Sir, yes Sir!Now this 'Hartmann' (Brakemeier?) dude also addressing them "human f#@&ing beings" from high-up his Olympus mountain - elevated demigod of... FR... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi D. :-)you say:>>> "- I certainly don't care. I have no questions - at least not in Audio." <<<Like that sergeant major: "I have no stomach ulcers -- I give them!" It's good to know, this is how it works.- Can't hear static vs ... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Todd,keep it up man! It will be one of the more interesting things to see how it all will end :-)Axel | |

| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi Kirkus,>>> ... assume the "perfect storm" where all the errors just happen to add up in the worst way.<<<"Monte Carlo" analysis, OK... the inventor must have lost it ALL then - worst case. BUT he did not consider any form of '... | |
| Riaa curve Hi Atmaspheregood points you make, Raul will have a field day :-)This also means, there is no way, but NO way, to do this RIAA circuit other then by a most tedious hand selection and soldering in/out process. In the case of your cutting lathe I've... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi Kirkus,as always, a thoughtful and well laid out response. As far as SUTs go, yes they need to be matched, well matched! But if done, they have some 'magic' of their own and can make an MC something more full of 'live' and vibrant.As to this RI... | |
| Brinkmann LaGrange & Base Rojo,I have my TT on a granite base on a hardwood/MDF/hardwood laminate. I think that leather is a very good idea, I use ~ 10 'bump-ons' in mostly irregular places. Alas, my TT is a SME-10 and not a LaGrange. The SME 10 has 'absorbers' in the 3 pi... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Syntax,I wonder what's its resonance frequency ---- would it need a 'sock'?? |
