| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm That " vitriol " you posted is not vitriol but and opinion against your several times " insult " to LÖFgreen that obviously for you and dogberry is just ok and not for me. Re-read my post about. Raul, this is a bit unhinged. Are you suggesting ... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm Lew, I meant that with the bearings being aligned as they are, any up and down motion will involve not just moving the bearing that allows vertical movement, it will also mean moving the horizontal bearing. So moving both ball races instead of one... | |
| Discuss The Viv Lab Rigid Arm I'm half regretting waking up this thread, especially as some find it hard to be civil. The fact is that I have not yet seen someone who has owned an underhung arm say anything bad about them. Those who do own one, seem to be unanimous in their p... | |
| Thinking About Selling and Replacing My Pop/Rock Vinyl Collection 50+ years ago I started to buy music, and as a kind of distinction from my brother I chose to buy it on cassette. Well, we all make mistakes! Much of it was bought over again on vinyl, then on CD, then again as SACD, and now I'm back to vinyl as ... | |
| 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. |
