| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Raul,please give me the answer from your " music lover " point of experience about using (always well set-up) a Windfeld with 'Nude Ortofon Replicant 100' stylus (fine-line, yes?); 16CD compliance, or a SPU Royal with the same stylus but 8CU compl... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Thanks Detlof,gives me comfort to have someone not restricted by some 'correctness', which as you mention appears to be more part of perception than I might have appreciated.That's quite SOMETHING! Like try argue with the crowd about Mozart and ch... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi Peterayer>>> The biggest problem with the SME V design is the difficulty of adjusting height. Every time I try it, the arm column moves slightly out of vertical because the VTA screw is off centre and I have to recheck azimuth <<... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Hi KipdentI'm so pleased all seems back on track. The social responsibility to rationality prevailed :-)As to:>>> does anyone want to pipe in about my question regarding NOT cleaning new vinyl at all as a choice to minimize noise? Any opi... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Hi Mike,>>> I believe an apology it owed to this thread. <<<About what? Not steam cleaning and having come to the conclusion a RCM is ones preferred method?I don't get your apology idea.But it's also fine to have all steam-cleane... | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Thanks Detlof,come to think about it, this phenomena is NOT just reserved to speakers alone.I had even some tube pre-amp do this, differential design using 6H30 you might know. No power amp ever, they can just get boring or annoying, but never wit... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Daniel,thanks great information, all make a lot of sense to me.Axel | |
| Influence of stylus shapes on distortion Hi Stevechaminteresting, I see where you are coming from. I had a 'special' Dorian (re-tipped with a Gyger Special, boron) and it was very highly resolved. Now some experts would say --- too much. Giving you some 'information overload' not conside... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Thanks Daniel,now what about that D-103 I mentioned? Lightweight body 4.8g , Low compliance ~5CU in a 'modern' medium-mass arm?Axel | |
| "Frightening" or "Relaxing" sound quality? Hi DetlofI think I'm fully with you, and it is what I, or some other contributor, might have earlier on described as "goose bump" factor. All composers mentioned (all of my own choice) only make real SENCE if that happens. That is just great!Maybe... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi Daniel,let me get used to this now --- and welcome once again "In der Loewengrube">>> A stone-bodied Koetsu <<<Yes, I hope you'll survive that one. I get your point, and if only for one reason: the other end of that spectrum t... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hi DerTonarm,cart compliance is a major input parameter in the calculation of arm / cart resonance, yes?So, I'm trying to figure were we are regards the maths part of it. Unless you are saying, a medium mass arm with a higher weight cart becomes a... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight Hallo Dertonarm,you have a point I guess, so that said --- I use damping and had arms that had no facility for damping, so how to prove the point?What I can say, in my current set-up when I use damping, it is WITH GREAT CAUTION, lest you kill the ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Crem1I can see your fear-factor in spending money on some dud cleaner. I did, but look at the price of the most expensive Nitty, please!? Nowhere near 2k, nowhere near...There are different quality products out there, yes --- like with every thing... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Hi Kipdentwhat your are telling is practically a 1 for 1 story I could relate (Just not in the very lucid and detailed description of yours)You mention 'stubborn' particles causing pops or ticks. For the ones raised above the groove surface I foun... |
