| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi Detlofto answer your questions the man is listens to both, digital and analogue. (and prefers analogue, as I do also)His analogue is a Transrotor Z3, with the Transfig. Orpheus (L), and a Allen Wright phono/pre-amp with a special stepped attenu... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi Atmaspherehaving learned a lesson from Jeff Roland? I think you have a point not doing both. Look at Krell, I think he is trying this again, and the results are at least questionable to some folks... (include me).I do not know "M-derived crosso... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi Detlof,I had a most interesting discussion on the subject to day with a speaker designer, call him 'elitist'. I guess he wouldn't mind to be called that, good for him :-)He knows EXACTLY what this is all about, and he immediately said: Only a s... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Hi Johnbrown,I truly do not intend this to be some 'navel gazing' :-)I initiated this thread after there was quite some discrepant information coming about in some of the other related threads on set-up and arm geometry.It was Frank that made me s... | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Excellent Emailists!Thank you. That's the sort of feedback that is of interest.You mention stylus swapping, which sounds like MM, is that the case - just to know for interest?Raul, his holding some of this information off, I think :-)He has loads ... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi Atmasphere,you guys selling "frightening" or "relaxing" speakers to each other? Flat impedance 'curves', ha!? Lines please!! Straight! 300B to go with the deal, so to scare the hell outa ya :-)Cheers,Axel | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Hi Raul,thanks, I'm genuinely relieved. But as you can see, the way to ask a question can create a sort of "idea" already. So, I guess you are on the same page, that useful findings (trial & error, experiment, listening) CAN help, as in your c... | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Hi Raul,you say:>>> Axel, do you realy want a true precise/absolute answer or only to have an idea <<<This sounds like bad some rhetoric to me, as you know that we can't have any enquiry -- "true precise/absolute" -- according to... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Oh my,if a s2mh is a mute issue to you, so why do you bother at all?!Isn't it YOU that is now promoting a particular arm concept, which then makes this enquiry NONSENSICAL?Sounds like some ego trip to me. Closed case for you, fine. I was just tryi... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Hi Dan_edyou say:>>> If you change the cartridge, all you need to is move the cart in the mounting holes until the stylus hits the arc again <<<You obviously didn't take note of, that we are talking about a SME V in my specific c... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi Mrtennis,I think you are so close! It actually depends completely on the "consonant or dissonant" quality of your cables ---.:-)Axel | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Raul,please explain...>>> In your thread you want to " aisle " the stylus shape against distortion and here like in other audo devices the stylus shape is not an aisle factor<<<aisle = gangway, passageway, walkwayaisle factor = ?... | |
| Mounting hole-to-stylus variation / tolerance Hi Dan_edI'm not all the way with this adjustable p2s (pivot-to-stylus) protractor. It obviously is not the 'fixed type' that you warn about below.>>> So, check your numbers before ordering a custom protractor. <<<The issue with ... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi Raul,>>> Usually when the cartridge does not " wiggle&jump " that cartridge/tonearm set-up performs extremely well. <<<I couldn't agree more!What I describe is just my finding, and agreed like always --- there's yet someth... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi Peterayer:-) nice to hear you are not A -purist- :-)I think you got it pretty well down, in my estimate, by your comment:>>> I wonder if this is about relative cantilever movement between low versus high compliance cartridges and the s... |
