| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Hi Tketcham>>> To what level of "top" phono stage are you referring? <<<Simply the best, - second best I already have.>>> ... is the Jadis the "top" level you were originally asking about? <<<Raul got this, he i... | |
| Nitty Gritty Mini-Pro cleaning machine Hi Shazamyou say...>>> The solution pump on the top arm doesn't always work well... <<<You can say that again! I had to replace / repaired that 'thing' until I got tired of it. It's made from the top of a hair-spray bottle glued ... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Johnbrown,you say...>>> ... requires you to align zenith via the cantilever-not the cart body <<<Well, yes I guess by only using the mirror from below, right? It still can be tricky (that Jubilee's cantilever is tugged in-betw... | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice Hi Dfelkaire.: cart break-in (the rest is more 'complex' or call it woo doo).All I can share is that I simply have noticed that MM carts take for some reason some break-in time. In fact much older broken-in? carts taken out of the system seem to t... | |
| Nitty Gritty Mini-Pro cleaning machine Positive point, I had one ---- BUT, it is not the most sophisticated or robust of machines.I gave up on it after some troubles, though due some to my own fault (I used it after all).I now have a Hannl MERA and the cleaning is only one-sided, and t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel,>>> Regarding the V15VxMR, the cartridge seemed so designed for a specific voice, I had difficulty pinpointing VTA <<<In my case it needs to be negative (down arm) VTA/SRA from my normal spacer ~ (1/2") 12.7mm to ~ 8,7mm... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Goatwuss>>> Does this still look to be too far forward in the head shell? <<<YES!I'm pretty certain it will be further in with the original VPI alignment.Next!Some of these type Ortofons have a propensity for the cantilever g... | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice Hey! Patience, just a little. Now you got the VTA closer, and now it will have to run for a bit.I often found myself 'through the baby out with the bath water'.Any of those MMs likes at least a couple of hours to settle in. Maybe your friend's 'Bl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltelone more thing, very important to know: Did the SAS want a different SRA/VTA?As background, I running into trouble with the large negative VTA on many of these older carts on my SME-V due to the conical fat-end of this arm touching warps i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltel,sorry I'm a bit slow maybe, but can you make it a bit more easy for me.So what was the progression again on the **V15 III only**. Starting with ??(you mentioned 3 styli), then MR, then SAS.I only get the M97xE part, which is relating t... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hi Goatwuss.one more thing for you to know here: That track in one of Dougdeacon's **specials** (there are of course some even more critical ones in his arsenal. I have one, SXL 2248).He says it took him years and $$$$ to get it COMPLETELY sorted,... | |
| Killing sibilance distortion - VPI & Jubilee Hello Goatwuss,my man you get 10 out of 10 for your error report!!!!My broad-band sux, but I know that track like the back of my hand ---- and I share your problem. A bit of a repeat story, (must have waited for your animated picture story :-)Firs... | |
| Ortofon 2M Red Not Happy Need advice Hi,there we go, as Almarg says: >>> on what I recall reading from way back when, VTA/SRA needs to be set for it with the arm **considerably down** (i.e. down at the pivot end). <<<The same I had presumed, and then I was just goin... | |
| Dedicated phono-pre for MM only? Well Lewm,thank you for sharing. Now with 3 'tables why not give a NICE MM a try and let us hear what would be your finding. It could be most interesting (didn't say rewarding... :-) to have another take by someone of your long standing anlogue ba... | |
