| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,Never heard the 100. IIRC, Raul expressed his preference for the 200 over the 100. 200 is clearly more refined than 300, but I like the 300 for rock and roll. The presentation/stage of the 300 is huge; it reminded me of the Acutex 420str. Don... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners The last acutex 420 str I saw fetched an astonishing price . Any bets on how much this one will go for? At any rate, a good opportunity for those who have been searching for one. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? One thing for certain is I don't know the first thing about motor oils. Here is what is available from Redline (from their website) as far as their race oils go:20WT Race Oil (5W20)30WT Race Oil (10W30)40WT Race Oil (15W40)50WT Race Oil (15W50)And... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Ok, I'm game. I'll buy the RP XPR 05w-20 race oil and re-run the test(s) with the same weight Redline. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Over time the bonding can loosen and the damping rubber ring will come lose, without this material the platter is better suited to announce the second coming.Thanks for the tip, totem395. Upon inspection, the adhesive securing some parts of my rub... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I hear less noise - especially less 60 cycle hum.That's exactly what I wanted to hear from you, Aigenga. Thanks. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Did you measure a "lowered sound floor", or is that a subjective judgement based on listening to LPs?The latter, Lewm. It was the proverbial, "I could hear things (on very familiar records) I never heard before" bit. I did buy a mechanic's stethos... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I agree with Halcro’s assessment of the thin Jico mat. I have about 8 leather mats (some are diy) and I’ve tried many different configurations (stacked in various order), and the thin Jico one comes out on top (so far). The Jico mat extends over t... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm,I've taken off, and put back on, that bottom cover more times than I care to remember. But the most memorable thing about that experience is just how tight the fit is in there, especially the power cord. So, even though it didn't cross my min... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I'm guilty on both counts, Ct0517. I used to rest my turntable/arm atop a pneumatic isolation platform. Sounded great...until it didn't. The platform would lose air, the et2 would register it and then spit out inferior sound. I put up with this fo... | |
| Which headshell to use? About Audio-Technica headshell with fixed screw holes: Yes there are no slots to move cartridge in headshell but on the backside of the AT Technicard or Magnesium headshell you will find at least two sets of mounting holes. The most important thin... | |
| Which headshell to use? If I had money burning a hole in my pocket, I'd be tempted to try this headshell. Evidently, inspired by the Orsonic. | |
| Which headshell to use? kk...could someone please reccommend an appropriate headshell.I don't believe with a headshell there is a standard of appropriateness that is independent of the overall sound it plays a part in making. That is to say, the appropriate headshell is ... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I asked the seller: it comes with an aluminum armtube. (No affiliation.) | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Is there an acutex 420str bubble I don't know about? Economists will be dumbfounded by this phenomena, but those of us who have listened to it on an ET-2 can perhaps understand. Me, I just wish I had bought more of these toy like carts at pre-bubb... |
