| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,No problem and thanks for the suggestions. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Given the fact that you have heard your Technics through the Essential 3160 and with full range (velodyne supported) speakers, I know that you fully appreciate what I am missing. Ironically, when I had the funds and opportunity to buy an AKG ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbow,Thanks for your kind words of sympathy. I was also surprised when VdH could not repair it: even more so as I had also had them refresh it originally. I even tried a specialist company over here (Expert Stylus & Cartridge Company) and t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Pryso,I really empathise with your friend. You are correct about the associated frustration and even though I now have a beatiful but useless P100c Mk4 sitting in its box I would reiterate that it was/is the best performing cartridge that I have e... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman3,Sorry but the Empire 750Ltd was one of the cartridges that I sold on eBay. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Banquo363,Commiserations on the demise of your Empire. If it helps, and working on the old adage that "misery loves company", I would mention that I recently lost my Technics P100c Mk4 cartridge. This without any evident impact of any personal dys... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Nandric,If you buy some aluminium plate (eBay often has various thickness of these at very reasonable prices!) you can make a variety of interchangeable arm plates for the top of your tower(s). The carftsman is therefore only challenged with drill... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Nandric,If you go down the route of Halcro (which I am more or less planning to do) with the arm tower design, you can offset your mounting hole to be nearer to any desired edge. This removes all concerns about tonearm length. This will also apply... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris,Sorry, just one other brief thought. If you look at the details and approach of the Equarack people, you'll see there is a major concern about mass loading/weight of component to get the best out of viscoelastic supports. As I mentioned abov... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Chris,I failed to notice that the original suggestion was to try the rollerblock "juniors". These should indeed be far more stable under mechanical interactions than the normal rollerblocks (which I use). Nandric is correct that you'll have to suc... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Geoch/Chris,I'd be careful about using Rollerblocks beneath an arm tower. The ball bearings are not secure enough and movement when lifting and placing the arm would almost certainly create ongoing alignment problems. In fact, the only place that ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Geoch,I see your reservations and hope you ultimately resolve them to your satisfaction. However, in line with Ct0517's comment, I would stress that your ssuggestion that "our limited knowlege about interactive materials & mechanics & that... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Pryso,Apologies, it should have read: "Mighty oak trees from small acorns (rants) grow".I tend to be posting before 7am local time and I think this is affecting things. Apologies and thanks again. | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Pryso,Thanks for your valued reflections. I think they develop another dimension of Raul's reference to the distinction between the close mic'ed recording (as relayed to the home stationed audiophile) and the sitting position of the live spectator... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Raul,Just to add that I am aware that I have drifted somewhat from your response in my reply but would note that my comment is based on my slight preoccupation with acoustic spaces and psychoacoustic factors. I think the issues of distinct venues ... |
