| Cartridge Setup - Where to buy tools? On another thread, someone linked to this scale on eBay, here. I have a very similar one from the same seller I believe and it works fine.Mint LP is great but if you want cheap just print out a free protractor at vinyl engine and fiddle with it fo... | |
| Tonearms With Horizontal Cable Exit the epa 100 mk2 has a horizontal rca exit, like the 500 series; the mk1 has a 5 pin din terminal, I believe, and exits vertically (like Pryso said) | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges the requirements of friendship and justice are different but in this case, Halcro, they seem to coincide? 5 155lc (sic!--you must really like it) styli for you and none for Nikola, if it comes to transpire, seems at once an affront to justice and ... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges the 155lc stylus is still available here. That's where I bought mine. Since it's still ready-to-hand, you can go ahead and give one of yours to Nandric, Henry :). | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? After a long separation, I reunited with the 20ss the other night. It was like seeing an old friend, one who brings along to share a nice aged bourbon. | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges but brocoli certainly is not a phono cartridge and needs no accurate/precise alignment/set up.Tell that to Alain Passard who owns a 3 Michelin star vegetarian restaurant. | |
| Nude Turntable Project I would think that even if everything is rigidly coupled the vibration will be changed and possibly delayed in time depending on what it is traveling through.The designer of the Onedorf turntable (which uses a separate armpod) said the same thing ... | |
| Nude TT / Armpod question Depends on how strict you mean by "strict distance relationship between the arm pivot and the spindle center?" I have a separate 15lb armpod and I tested the theory that alleged movement. I aligned my cartridge according to the Mint lp protractor,... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges I seem to have inadvertently found myself in the middle of something. Rest assured that I don't know enough (nothing really) about integrated headshells to take sides either way. I will say that I am surprised by how good the cart sounds given the... | |
| Electronic stylus force gauge question Q: Can someone explain the problem with my stylus gauge; it's acting wonky when I take a reading for my cart at 1.75g?A: Why on earth are you so obsessed with tracking at 1.75g?I'm no logician, but I believe informally we can call that a non sequi... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges Dear Nandric,After I mounted the sony, I wanted to see how close it was to the Mint LP's arc that I have for my arm. Even Ray Charles could see that it was off.Dgob: oh, I wasn't trying to imply anything about your set up; I'm sure it sounds divin... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges I just received a Sony xl33 w/integrated headshell. The owner's manual asserts that on a Sony tonearm overhang error of +/- 3mm (!) is not a problem for it's "practical use". Either Sony is crazy or else they have a loose conception of practical u... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Halcro:Your issue is way beyond my ken to diagnose, but if it were me I'd be on the look out for audio gremlins.Seriously though I hope you find what you're looking for. | |
| Nude Turntable Project "So I discovered that this does not solve my particular problem and..."Droll, Henry, droll. When you said you have a feedback issue, I assumed it was something subtle. A blown stage is not subtle. What on earth could it be? | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Bill knows the sp10 circuit but he's unfamiliar with the Victor. Consequently, it would take him far longer to diagnose a problem with the latter. And since time is money, he told me he couldn't afford the time it would take to fix it. This sugges... |
