| Recommended FR 66 service @chak, congrats on the 66FX and be sure to tell us the sonic difference with the 64FX. While I own both 64S and 64FX, I can’t help being interested in the 66S and 66FX, despite their insane market prices. There MUST (or should, if we leave out col... | |
| Which cartridge for Graham 2.2 arm? To Buy a worn MC cartridge is nonsense, even the worst Koetsu Black cost much more than your limit. Garrott Brothers, who rebuild cartridges for decades, claimed the original Koetsu was poorly made! I’m wondering how people can recommend a worn/us... | |
| Which cartridge for Graham 2.2 arm? Look at Dynamic compliance measured at 10Hz If you see a Japanese cart then most likely the compliance is measured at 100Hz ! If so you must convert it to 10Hz, to do so simply x 1.7With $500 budget you’d better look for MM or MI cart than for MC.... | |
| Analog Upgrade - Where to start? 1. Direct Drive. 2. Phono Stage based on an LCR network.Yeah, this is it! | |
| LYRA DELOS CARTRIDGE TOO BRIGHT, THIN AND SHRILL SOUNDING IME, there is no component (nothing) that sounds "bad", "horrible", "wrong" out of the box, and turns into a good, great, fantastic after x hours. The real character is audible within the first hour. After that it is only about smoothening out a... | |
| HiFi News Test Record Azimuth If you are going to adjust azimuth "visually" (Chakster), then you really ought not to have a tonearm with azimuth adjustment capability, because in most tonearms, the default position of the headshell will already give you 90 degrees of azimuth... | |
| HiFi News Test Record Azimuth First of all adjust the azimuth visually (without test record). | |
| Tonearms for reference 78 RPM system Technics SP-10R So you bought the most expensive tonearm :) I’m sure you will be fine with any low compliance cartridge on your 66s, I have 66fx. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? What was that? | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 I think it’s the wrong thread to discuss MC vs. MM again... Cartridge is not a girlfriend (not a wife), so you can have as many as you wish at the same time if you like them. It’s funny how some people trying to find a cartridge that combines ever... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 Raul, that is sort of a wishy-washy answer. There are quality levels in all categories. My point is there are MM and MI cartridges that out perform some LOMC cartridges. Absolutely, no questions about it. I’ll tell you more: there are MM cartridge... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 I’m not sure what are you trying to prove me? I have 20-30 years ahead to improve my system, but you guys are already retired, glad you are not broke at your age and still thinking about the sound.I remember we discussed his phono stage long time ... | |
| Who needs a Diamond Cantilever...? 💍 It’s not funny Dover, because all your passage has nothing to do with unique cantilever used exclusively in Bluelectric MM cartridge that cost $10 000. And if you are so concerned about damper then his silicone damper will last forever, even if I ... | |
| Which Tube Phono Pre Amo? You can look for Solid State design based on MOS-FET transistors with tube-typical harmonic distortion characteristics! Not necessary to buy tube phono stage. | |
| LYRA DELOS IS AMAZING!!!! The most stupid threads on audiogon are the most popular, but basically it's just an opinion of a stranger. Audiogon today is just a FAQ message board, people normally post here when they have some problem with their gear. How anyone can "ruin the... |
