| TW-Acustic Arm I have the killer - and it is a tonearm..... | |
| ZYX R-1000 Series Omega-S @Myles, Dan and Syntax, I guess that the output vs volume level position is more likely a matter of technical specs slightly different from the ones given by importer/manufacturer....... - in other words- the cartridge(s) (many ...) does actually ... | |
| Cart not parallel after Mint LP alignment? Apparently the MINT tractor does use a different geometry then the one the designer(s) of your tonearm had in mind. If it works fine with you and does produce the sound you were longing for, I wouldn't care too much about the optical issue....If i... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Don_c55 - I am sure that Mepearson did adjust the respective SRA with both tonearms.And then the respective SRA is a matter of the cutting angle of groove under track anyway. So the "SRA" should rather be set groove-compliant to the respective rec... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Ddriveman, Frogman I am familiar with the Ikeda 9 EMPL, 9R, 9 Musa and 9 Omega. They all have in common a very unhealthy correspondence between low VTF, high mass and a very special compliance (to say the least...).All the Ikeda 9 series cartridge... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Mikelavigne, Mepearson, as the "phase issue" related to stylus polished area deflection is coming up in this thread more and more, let me add a few comments.Yes, phase shifting and its impact on our listening experience is both - huge and little e... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Ddriveman, the original geometry of the FR-64s is largely due to the misunderstanding of this tonearm in particular among some audiophiles.When mounting the FR-64s at 231.5 mm distance, the geometry results in the following optimized parameters:- ... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Folks - it is not linear vs pivot. Why is there always this choose-sides-attitude and mind?I have owned most - not all - linear tonearms of the past 30 years.Most of them were good and a few were among the best.It is as little linear vs pivot as i... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Mepearson indeed deserves the applause he received. He conducted a great test in his set-up and with as few variables as possible.He reached a conclusion for his question and for his individual taste and surroundings.Some may jump on the carriage ... | |
| Which MM cartridge? Give the Nagaoka MP-500 a listen. And make sure the cantilever assembly (the whole plug-in) can't move the faintest. | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Given the huge distances between us, I still believe the very best and most promising option is one of the major international audio events. As these are ever diminishing in number, Munich as well as Denver seem to me the most suitable options. To... | |
| The pivoted arm experiment is over Peterayer, no - I have not heard the set-up in Mepearson home. My assistance was by email only and I couldn't verify the results. As for the Mint LP traktor tool - I favor the original aluminum Dennesen Soundtraktor as it gives excellent results w... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Dear Lewm, don't worry - I for one are married to a beautiful and shapely blonde. And any sonic impression is only a matter of the moment anyway.But -it will be fun.4-5 hours by car from Geneva - or 40 minutes by plane.Munich show is May 6th to 9t... | |
| Reel to Reel If you are serious about finding out the true possibilities of RTR and 2-track tape, get a Studer C-37 and a few early 2-track original reels from RCA, Westminster, Everest, Mercury and Columbia from the late 1950ies to very early 1960ies.Not chea... | |
| Is There An "Absolute" Best Cartridge? Raul, I can ( could...) provide a full differential balanced passive split RIAA phono stage with 100k AND 47k inputs for the MM/MI. Furthermore it has several transformers for all source impedances for LOMC and MOMC. So we would have another const... |
