| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I guess the questionable part is whether the bearings being aligned with an offset headshell is going to make the rest of the experiment invalid? | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Oh well, I'll have to entertain myself some other way! | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I’m considering an experiment. The double-podded standalone tonearms have served their purpose in cartridge comparisons and are currently unused. It would take the drilling of just one extra hole in an SME 309-type headshell to mount a cartridge w... | |
| Find the Problem This problem isn’t present with my digital sources (Pioneer Universal player, television, even Apple TV playing old compressed iTunes files) . Do you mean you don't have the issue on your main system, or that digital sources in the basement are... | |
| MC-MM-MI CARTRIDGES . DO YOU KNOW WHICH HAS BETTER QUALITY PERFORMANCE? REALLY? I've never experienced mistracking with either the Jubilee or the Reference! | |
| Would changing to a MC solve my problem? I think lewm was referring to the V10. | |
| Cartridge and phono stage matching I don't see that a LOMC would be quieter because of its lower output - which will just be amplified more further down the chain to end up with the same volume at the speakers. However, some cartridge designs are said to be relatively insensitive t... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @total111 But what happens when we print a doc, then scan, then print again? Are the two prints same? This sounds like a zen koan, but thinking of a printer as a digital to analog converter is an interesting thought! | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? There again, in the late 1980's when I was buying CDs they were $25CDN, which an inflation calculator tells me would be $56CDN today, so used vinyl seems a but more of a bargain! | |

| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? @tubes4good A lot more if I had an unlimited supply of FIM purchased in the last century. The cost of film has risen many times the cost of LP's. My film freezer: A day without exposing and developing a film is a day wasted. | |
| Yamamoto HSA-01 headshell/head amp For the curious, here is the manufacturer's page. ¥72,000 or $458USD. It says it can be used with almost all arms (taking that headshell), which probably implies that the overall length of the headshell is the same as usual, otherwise it might me... | |
| Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ? Yes and no, respectively. I measure the value (to me) of my turntables, cartridges and phono stages in terms of pleasure, not just sound quality. There are recordings that I have on vinyl, CD, and SACD, and it's nearly always the vinyl I choose. B... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records @pfmaudio It was very clear to hear the distortion. Can we post in here an audio file? Yes one can be linked, but the file itself must be hosted elsewhere on the web. @antinn You remind me of something: the reason I bought a Loricraft many yea... | |
| ultrasound record cleaning machine damaged my records If it was only the cleaned records sounding off, one can only explain this by wondering if they were not completely dry, or even whether psychacoustic factors came into play somehow? (I mean no disrespect with the latter, we are all susceptible.) ... |
