| US source of Panzerholtz? @nandric it's a German name for the material as far as i know, in Russia nobody use such name, but we have something similar under completely different name, unfortunately the difference is not like Vienna and Wien (i love that city BTW). It is si... | |
| US source of Panzerholtz? Very interesting. Is there any other name for this material ? | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question @artemus_5 you’re right, your internal resistors are 47 000 Ohm, your parallel RCA plug resistors are lower (100 Ohm and 470 Ohm) for MC. My modified JLTi has internal resistors of 500k Ohm, so i can use 100k Ohm or 47k Ohm with parallel RCA plug ... | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators playing records with closed dust cover is such a weird habit | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. @lewm I am not sure I get your point. Who is it that confused the graphite Boston Audio record mat for the carbon fiber Yamamoto (or Oyaide, or etc) headshell? "Pure carbon in the form of graphite. True carbon-graphite is not "graphite" as in car... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. First of all: here is a shop in Japan, it’s official Yamamoto distributor, not only for his beautiful tube amps, but also for the headshells that international buyers can purchase without tax (VAT) directly from Japan. | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Now let me compare:1) Yamamoto Carbon-Fiber headshell Carbon-Fiber turntable mat Another Oyaide Carbon-Fiber headshell Looking at all those pictures do you see some similarities ? The structure of Carbon-Fiber is the same, just like this sheet. 2)... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? @hagtech Is there a reason golden age DD turntables became golden age? Or conversely, why did the high-end move to belt-drive? Thoughts? Could you please recall Japanese turntable manufacturer who has moved to Belt Drive from Direct Drive ? I c... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for vintage TT - MM or MC? Some people never learn, spending years and years on this forum and discovering some truly amazing cartridges (mostly vintage MM/MI or MC) they always advice inferior Nagaoka, Grado or Hanna. Why? I just don't understand it. Instead of some killer... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. I want to make it clear, you guys are talking about different materials ... Carbon-Fiber, Pure Carbon, Carbon-Graphite, Graphite etc ... I remember headshells from OMA (Graphite) and from Thomas Schick (also Graphite) and they are different. Not t... | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question Yes, mine is not the latest, but just previous (without special power supply). Anyway, i asked joe for a mod. I can go higher than 47 000 Ohm for my MM (mainly 100 000 Ohm). But for MC it is nice to have many optional RCA plugs with different load... | |
| Ortofon Concorde Gold- How it sounds ? Awful muddy sound, just like any Concorde for professional use. It has bonded elliptical stylus, low compliance for high tracking force. This is really not a cartridge anyone need for home use (no matter what kind of music), this series is profess... | |
| Grace Level ll @wrm57 Now I find the F-14 to be a terrific performer, with all of the naturalness that I perceived in the F-9 but none of the drawbacks. No doubt. Thank for your comment. The stock F14 is much better cartridge than F9 for sure and the price di... | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question I also have JLTi phono, so all you need is cheap RCA connectors to solder some cheap resistors and you can make many with different value to try what you like. Now you have 100 Ohm and 47 000 OhmYou need something in between such as 500 Ohm, 1000 ... | |
| DIY Phono Loading Plugs Question Buy Vishay Naked Foil resistors from Texas Components on ebay (it is the manufacturer), this is the best audio resistor in the universe for reasonable price, not a snake oil ! Actually ZYX recommendation is not more than 1000 Ohm, but more than 1... |
