| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Raul, tears are running down my cheeks ...........What great display of humanity and earnest strive for the better in mankind.Unbelieveable - I never thought I will ever (even not in virtual reality...) meet such an almost holy audiophile sou... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear Axel, dear Frogman, I will illustrate in the list of my "picks" the point of the unamplified instruments in live space.Stay tuned - I will be back tuesday night with my list and a few words about each record on it.Cheers,D. | |
| Fidelity Research cartridges Hi Steve, the XL55 and XL88 Pro cartridges are very interesting cartridges indeed. I had 2 samples of each during the past 6 years.However - they do have little in common with the FR-7-series ( or FR-1 MK7..... I have found the original data-sheet... | |
| the perfect tonearm FYI - the Ikeda IT-245 was sold (in limited quantities however...) in the USA in the late 1980ies and very early 1990ies as the Rowland Research Complement tonearm (together with the Ikeda EMPL named as "Rowland Research Complement" too). As it is... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Audiofeil, you're right - it was Frank !Cheers,D. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Axel, ..."The man has the best tonearm, best woman, best system, best ears, best education, best audio knowledge, best superlatives... well."Well - the tonearm/cartridge combination which gives the best result so far - yes. Best woman - in my... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear All, as the question about the "ultimate goal" just came up again:- It is not about ultimate sonic quality of a pressing. We do need a careful selected group of records which shall serve as a "common ground" to link and desvribe all sonic imp... | |
| the perfect tonearm Dear Atmasphere, very interesting. Would you please enlighten us all why the Graham is "incompatible with the Grado cartridge line" ?I very much look forward to learn the technical background for this incompatibility.......BTW - you should clarify... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Raul, sorry - I can see little to no answers in your system set-up. Owning and mounting dozens of mostly vintage tonearms and cartridges doesn't imply answers. It looks rather like collecting for the joy of it.Which is perfectly fine.I do not... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear Axel, I love "Graceland"!!Haven't listened to "So" for more than 15 years.Graceland does indeed have an excellent wide range of very different tracks and Ladysmith Black Mazambo's two pieces do add extra spice and most impressive a capella.A ... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear all, sorry for the side-kick with Raul again.I apologize.It was off-topic.I will supply my suggestions ragrding some of the records I can recommend serving for this project on tuesday.A sunny sunday to all,D. | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high I sincerely think, that todays prices for the top-flight tonearms aren't so bad. I was browsing through the price lists of the early 1980ies and we had several tonearms back then who demanded a very serious price tag too.In adjusted buying power w... | |
| Why is the price of new tonearms so high Dear Raul, the one depressing thing is, that it is no fun to pull someones leg and then you see you still have to explain the sense to him.Cheers,D.P.S.: by the way Raul.... how about Syntax's question some posts back whether you can give some inp... | |
| Establishing a common analog listening bias Dear Raul, you are so right - thats why you hardly ever write a full sentence about any of my remarks .......What a p(i)e(a)ce of mind.....Regarding your "Ferrari" - you should consider having a driver training soon.Cheers,D. | |
| the perfect tonearm Dear Mickeyc8, get a Graham 2.2 on the used market and enjoy analog life. Its most universal (although I hate the term regarding tonearms...) and will give excellent results with almost all of todays better cartridges. Furthermore it is the one to... |
