| Very Impressed with my new Technics SL-1200GR TT The first SL1200mk2 has never been designed for DJs, it was a hi-fi component that was adopted by djs and became a dj standard for professionals. DJing changed a lot in the early 80's, previously used Thorens belt drive were replaced by Technics d... | |
| Denon Dl 103 cartridge soundsmith question What you call "warmth" is low and high frequency roll-off of the conical tip that can't even extract what's on the record. You have much better tip and superb cantilever now for correct reproduction, but for some reason you want the sound of AM ra... | |
| ZYX Compilance I can't because i no longer use ZYX since i discovered better cartridges for my needs. But i told you that you can buy Reed with lower effective mass if you will look at shorter cocobolo armtube (10.5 or 9 inch) or just different wood for armtube... | |
| Buy High Pass Filter or KAB RF1? Your calculation is wrong. Your nagaoka has 6cu dynamic compliance only when it’s measured at 100Hz just like all japanese cartridges. For your calculation you must use dynamic compliance measured at 10Hz (not at 100Hz), this is a problem if you d... | |
| VTA Cartridge Tonearm tube must be parallel to the record surface when the needle is on the record. This is the starting point. | |
| ZYX Compilance I do have a Zyx cartridge & in my manual it simply says ’Compliance’ it does not state whether it is Dynamic or Static or what it is measured at either 10hz or 100hz, hence the reason for starting this topic.If the compliance is how you have c... | |
| Very Impressed with my new Technics SL-1200GR TT Everybody knows that Technics build like a tank and made in Japan while some other similar looking turntables are made in China like a plastic toys. You’re owing an iconic turntable that does not need service for the next 30 years, this is Technic... | |
| Tubes sound like a broken lightbulb When i was shopped for some rare NOS i was looking for matched pairs or quads, tested by the seller on professional tube tester and by ears too. Blind deal is risky, i hope you can return for refund or replacement. | |
| Sony Pua 7 help @knollbrent i told you about the situation, George need help, i hope you can scan it. I only took a picture like this. | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? You need a very well shielded phono rca cable from your tt to your phono input. There must be a third line just for ground (wire). As i said it's a bad idea to use unbalanced phono cable for longer than 1,5 meters (even this is too much). What is ... | |
| Best Way for my TT to reach my Pre-Amp!? If you're so concerned about capacitance of your long cables then you'd better buy an MI cartridge that is NOT SENSITIVE to capacitance at all ! This cartridge is Grado (for example). My Signature XTZ continue to impress me every day even against ... | |
| Cat jumped on turntable Retipping KARAT is bad idea, all those people can do is to drop a huge amount of glue to fix the new tip, but look at the original Karat Ruby or Karat Diamond. Do you see any glue around the stylus tip ? Dyna cantilever is short and not available ... | |
| FR66s vs Ikeda IT-407 CR tonearms Santa came early this year with some stuff i could only dream about. This is Ikeda IT-345 dynamic balance tonearm in rare matte finishing. Another pearl is a brand new Miyajima Kansui cross-ring MC cartridge in Tanzanian hardwood (known as ‘mpin... | |
| ZYX Compilance @dolphytrane forget about static compliance, only dynamic compliance is what we need to choose the arm. Vinyl engine is a source with a lot of misinformation when it comes to data. ZYX dynamic compliance is 15cu (horizontal) and 12cu (vertical), b... | |
