| Is this stylus worn out? Visually detecting stylus wear is a tricky business and your photos aren't useful for such an evaluation. You want to look for "cat's eyes." Shure has an explanation here. | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers I had a pair of ADS 320i speakers in the B-pillars of an '82 Trans-Am T-top with a Nakamichi head unit. The stereo sounded great. The car was fun for a while but was really just a bucket o' bolts. | |
| Single Ended vs Balanced Output Gain A differentially balanced design will yield a 6dB higher output than it will single-ended. | |
| Remote Maintenance I put factory remotes in storage and use a simple single Logitech Harmony remote for everything. It will run for quite a while on inexpensive rechargeable batteries. | |
| Tonearm that surface mount without cutting a hole? lewm The info on the DV507 Mk2 states: "A fixing hole with a diameter of 29 mm is needed to install the DV507MKII on the turntable board ..." So, it is not surface mounted, requires a "fixing hole" Wow, good catch, @lewm! I sta... | |
| Tonearm that surface mount without cutting a hole? lewm ... Fair point about the cost of the named surface mount tonearms. I guess the least expensive conventional pivoted type would be the Dynavector DV505, which although long discontinued ... It looks like the Dynavector arm is still ... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other rauliruegas This is not about taste is about facts. Correct. That’s why you’re mistaken when you claim "it’s a design for other kind of LP recordings but not for the ones that comes with the RIAA curve." In fact, the strain gauge system ... | |
| Better Sounding Systems, Objectivists or Subjectivists? udnh The “objectivists” use is a misnomer here. It suggests these “folks” have “all the facts”. They don’t ... That’s true, actually. The term is really shorthand for "those who claim to be objectivists." I think a better word for ... | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon lewm Possibly MD didn’t have time in the lead up to publication to delete the SME V from their catalog. The SME announcement was fairly recent. SME stopped selling its arms separately more than three years ago. see: SME has stoppe... | |
| New Transrotor TRA9 tonearm coming soon audioquest4life Too bad SME is no longer in the individual tonearm market. Perhaps, they wanted to reign in tonearm sales to increase SME turntable sales ... It looks as though that has changed. If you check the latest Music Direct catal... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other rauliruegas Dear @cleeds : I think you are wrong or have a misunderstood. No, I've actually heard the system. While the strain gauge is not a perfect complement to the RIAA curve, it's close. If you think your conventional phono c... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other rsf507 @cleeds when you say regarding the SM strain gauge "I’ve heard the Soundsmith system and while it may not be to my taste" what did you not like about it? I heard the SM strain gauge at Soundsmith - using a VPI HRX table and ... | |
| Why recordings made before 1965 sound better. bdp24 @onhwy61 has it right. Done correctly, Dolby does NOT change the original tonal structure (timbre) of instruments or vocalists. It takes the original signal and boosts the high frequencies for recording, in playback reducing the high ... | |
| Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other okogear The spindle is purposely not threaded so not sure how a lightweight clamp would attach or work. There are clamps that rely on friction fit to secure the LP. I think the original was The Pig clamp but there are others - KAB makes o... |
