| tonearms with VTA-towers for true "VTAF" Hi Larryi,you mention something VERY interesting >>> For that, the only somewhat easy to implement way to mitigate the problem is a long tonearm. <<<An aha, moment?! - But is it not, that if e.g. 1.5mm arm-up on a 9" arm is requi... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli Hi D.thunder and lightning, there we have it, and I guess all works just the way you put it.Like buying a new car and then wanting to fit old (white wall?) tyres.Thank you for clarifing this matter.AxelPS: and then some time, if you try, you get w... | |
| tonearms with VTA-towers for true "VTAF" Hi D. & Gregm,well, well, well, ask for a sausage and get the hole pig :-)I'm aware of the VTA vs. overhang influences, even before D. rubbed us all up on Egyptian geometry as applicable to tone-arms.But, as we (maybe just me...) are now start... | |
| Where to insert the step up transformer Hi Cucurellomaybe you want to have a look into the thread: "Clearaudio Stradivari " http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1245164397I put some stuff on trannie loading and such, it may fill in some of what you are pondering about.Also,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltelnope, I ordered my SAS from LP Gear. That came by Raul's kind initiative, and I'm told it has been shipped. I'll keep you posted on the listening impressions. BTW, I also find 1.1g VTF best with the MR. It shall be interesting to see wh... | |
| Clearaudio Stradivari Hi Rccc,this cart has:Output voltage: 0.7 mV (at 5 cm/sec) or some say 0.8mV ?Coil impedance: 50 Ohm (DCR)The first item to look at with any step-up is phono-pre overload. 0.7mV with 1:10 step-up (20dB gain) = 0.7 x 10 = 7mV or maybe 8mV as to whi... | |
| Where to insert the step up transformer Hi,as Dertonarm said, THE BEST is to have the trannie right inside the phono-pre ---- unfortunately most often there's not enough space unless you want to dismantle the trannie.Of course that would give you the least capacitance issues with the ou... | |
| Quiet Tonearms/cartidges?? Hi Albertporter,I'm about to, it's in for repair or exchange for a new one. Depending on the outcome I consider to sell it.I'm using the V15 III with 35MR stylus right now and I get more detail AND music... then with any of the MCs I used this far... | |
| Where to insert the step up transformer Hi Cucurello,are we still value added, not loosing you? I hope it'd still of some use to other folks.Almarg asked:>> What is "reasonable" after the capacitance on the secondary side is multiplied by a factor of 1000 or so would be dependent ... | |
| "Cut from the original master tapes" Hi,I'd go with most that's been said above, if not a little voice tells me: How is it, that often more then one party claims they used THE master tape?!And how about, that there often are 2 - 3 claims of being in possession of the master?I have a ... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli Hi All,Doug says:>>> ... Yet we heard the difference when VTA happened to be just right and it began to annoy us when it was off. <<<That is also exactly my experience, no argument at all, including the annoying thing when it is ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Timeltelyou may want to look up: "VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli"http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?eanlg&1244713018 Find some more insights and entertainment on the VTA subject.I measured the VTA on my V15 III agai... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli DerTonearm,I have an SME V, you'd recall and I use hardwood spacers, my shelf would start to look like a 'Baukloetzchenkasten' :-)>>> Changing VTA becomes a matter of 15 seconds. <<< maybe with a Micrometer VTA arm, yes.Doug,:-).... | |
| Where to insert the step up transformer Hi AlmargI think you read this too fast...*** The +++capacitance+++ of this interconnect is 'reflected back' to the primary You talk now of IMPEDANCE --- I spoke of CAPACITANCE! And as it so happens THAT works the other way round, I hope we can ag... | |
| VTA setting for 'parabolic' and 'elliptical' styli Hi :-)I think Raul is seeing the light, bless you man! >>> ... I focus and give more time to the music <<<Maybe something to re-learn for a lot of us 'perfectionists' and count me in also.Not so sure about DerTonarm's approach an... |
