| Garrott vs Soundsmith @nandric I'm happy to save your time, enjoyThis an interesting case, indeed I never ever heard that a cartridge designer can use one single hair from a dog's mustache as an important part for his cartridge, lol | |
| New TT for ~$1500 Dont buy a direct drive table unless you have at least $ 10,000 for the deck only.and if you have $10k buy Technics SP10R (just the drive)then read a little bit about the drive and buy SL1200G with the same motor for $3999 (for compete turntable w... | |
| What should I do? It sounded really good, and I was impressed. Got it home, and carefully installed it last night. I listened to it for about 2.5 hours. It is really good, but I don't think (at this point), that it's that much better then my old cartridge ... | |
| Ikeda 9 Cartridge Squeaking Nearly all IKEDA cartridge on this page, except new with cantilevers | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith So this is not his ’’shop’’ or company. @nandric The shop owner is his cousin The owner of the Swiss hi-fi shop "Dietiker-Humbel" is Andreoli’s cousin Bluelectric - this is correct brand name, i’m not sure who’s the owner, but Magic Diamond, S... | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith And let's spread the lights on Reto Luigi Andreoli premium MOVING MAGNET cartridges under his brand BLUELECTRIC. As i can see in this post from 2015 they were new at that time. This is when Bluelectric made MM pickup for the first time!Here is a... | |
| Tonearm mount to the plinth vs arm board vs rotating arm board vs isolated tower Chak, To your knowledge, is Toho still in the business of selling those accessories? The Torqueo stuff is beautiful (like a seashell, apparently) but not as substantial as Toho’s. @lewm No, not anymore, they are gone.Toho also made their strange ... | |
| THE GOLDEN AGE OF TURNTABLES! But turntables? No my friend. That is now. If the "golden age" is now, i understand why we must pay almost in gold for those modern and ugly belt drive high-end turntables | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith @nandric Yes, it was in 2007, the original post i'm quoting is here | |
| Ikeda 9 Cartridge Squeaking I think the problem is your light mass tonearm (with golf ball suspended in silicone fluid for damping) that you’re using with low compliance cartridge. Even if the arm is longer than this WTR (10g) i think the mass is still not enough for Ikeda c... | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith You may like Mr. Andreoli's opinion about Spherical stylus @bukanova :) I found it on audiogon archive: Below is a letter to Positive Feedback Online regarding Mr. Andreoli and his work. I read your comments about the magic diamond cartridg... | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith @bukanova that’s cool, glad you can read Russian, i can’t read Lithuanian :) Mr. Andreoli story is very interesting, but he’s not Garrott even if he learned from them. His cartridges are not affordable for "normal people". But i really like his at... | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith I see for the first timein your Russian ''literature'' that he produced an MM cart. Nearly$10000 for this 'Shake Streamer'' . ''Shocking Shake'' so to speak. This is probably because of the Garrott Brothers background. I highly recommend to ... | |
| Garrott vs Soundsmith Dear chakster, I first thought that this story was written by Reto Andreoli, the third (youngest) brother. At the age of 15 andspeaking only German he went to Australia with the intention to learnthe art from the masters. He was accepted and learn... | |
