| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi KirkusVERY insightful, thank you. I'll have to chew over all of this with my 'consultant engineer':-) But now one question: Common mode rejection, yes well... everybody points this out on the differential circuits, and nobody is running 20m or ... | |
| Loricraft and power cord upgrade? AlmargNo man, don't say that! I'm a gonna cry now with disappoint, heck, no man.Dang, now you got me wrecked. An' I thought I learned something really deeply important here. All these power factors an' that stuff, man.A. :-) | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi D.:-):-) thank you, funny how one can disagree, no.I get, you just also 'sunk' yet another highly regarded tonearm: The Breuer and the derived Brinkmann, right on, I say :-)Now to this other 'storage item', "the tonearm does not produce any sig... | |
| Loricraft and power cord upgrade? Wow,>>> I think you're getting more current to the machine with the upgraded power cord <<<Then we should need a dedicated power line with a high-end circuit breaker also, lest all is in vain, hm.A. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,yes, B U T most of these main-line pres simply use more C (150 - 500pF) to shunt (suck-out) MM treble resonance. As Kirkus (I think) also mentioned, it is BETTER to use higher input impedance to do the job.If loading that MM with a '~ cheap' ... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Goatwuss'y.s.:>>> Maybe the headshell on the VPI arm doesn't extend very far? <<<Must be the case then, not that I like it any much better though :-) sorry. But if that's it, I'll store that in my database.Next: "Setting zenith w... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Tom,>>> ... confused a bit by your comment that the 3160 has a jumper to change from 40 dB to 60 dB of gain.<<<That is not what I said, neither implied, since the 3160 has dedicated (like two seperate units) MM & MC stage(s) ... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Hi D.,>>> In general, the "heavy" tonearms do have plain advantages ..in power (read: vibration emitted from the cartridge during playback) handling..<<<A question: What about, the higher the mass, the bigger the "acoustic capaci... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,I think one thing might not be altogether understood by the audience, about these MM comparisons: your 'special' MM/MC phono-line-pre used.Without having the ability to change input impedance from stock/standard 47k, to 75k or better 100k, an... | |
| rega rb300 tonearm lift not working - fixable Hi Msiebers,you say:>>> ***Since silicone is not a damping grease, I believe the lift will drop like a rock***. Even if it did work, the bottom of the rega lift is open, and the silicone **will drip out.** <<<I think you ARE misi... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high :-)>>> D. in your four points you mention "dynamic balanced design" and "very rigid construction". Would you say the Schroder arm exhibits these traits? <<<Wat is sis? A leading quesion? Opening another Pandoras Box?A. | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi Tom,you say:>>> Just seemed like a similar question in that having phono stages designed specifically for the type of cartridge engine makes sense. <<<I have the idea that Raul will be the person to explain to you in his words... | |
| Loricraft and power cord upgrade? Oh ja?!>>> If you just have a stock power cord on your TV and it will fit, try it on that instead. <<<No, no, we need the hi-end version for this, so the picture will clearly be 1 - 2 foot outside of the box, and the depth percep... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Goatwuss,1. Mounting Distance, ie pivot to spindle distance is 223mm2. Effective Length is 240mmSo overhang => 240 - 223 = 17mm. That looks ABSOLUTLY normal. My SME-V e.g. has 17.8mm (Ja, ja, DerTonarm will love sat to se 1/10 of se mm :-)Th... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi Lewm,>>> With an MM phono stage, we should all be using a 100K load <<<Another reason for this thread's subject. I mean, WHICH phono-pre, of one-serves-all, has a 70k and/or 100k ohm input impedance option I ask? I know Raul's... |
