| Re-tipped cartridges I know someone who sent a Benz to be retipped. Retipper replied no wear, but diamond mounted askew ex factory. Retipper remounted the factory diamond - now sounds better than new.Re the work involved - I cant see how it is easier to change cantile... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold - sorry I posted at the same time as you. I would expect a cracked diamond to misstrack - probably on one channel only. This is not sibilance.Brightness is not sibilance either. You can have sibilance ( my definition SSSSSS's ) without brig... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold, Fleib et al - This saga is a guessing game to no avail. We need Harold to describe what he is hearing in order to identify possible causes. If he has sibilance but the cartridge tracks fine then .... . If he has mistracking as well as sibi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold - could you please define what you mean by sibilance. I had a friend called Sybil and she accentuated her SS's but never mistracked or sounded harsh. | |
| what Fi? The question should have been -What do Low Fi Mid Fi and Hi Fi have in common ?The answer - nothing to do with music. | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517 - I last used my ET2 with a Garrot modified Denon 103. Also used Koetsu Black & Shure V15VMR.As far as springs go, I really didn't use the spring effect at all. I found that even with low compliance cartridges, when you reduced the hori... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Halcro - If you removed the stylus guard, it would be a lot more attractive to me than my V15Vxmr. Not into the gold bling though. If the marketeers got hold of it it would be the Shure Stealth 140 with proprietory resonance controlled body... | |
| Koetsu Urushi I would recommend a Shure M95ED. The M95ED cartridge has the added bonus of the Side-Guard Stylus Protection System which responds to accidental side thrusts on the stylus by withdrawing the entire shank and tip safely into the stylus housing befo... | |
| Hookup wire for tube amplifier? Atmasphere some great tips thanks.Most audiophiles would get more benefit from going to solder school than fussing about copper or silver. I have even heard significant improvements in interconnects from well respected manufacturers that have been... | |
| New Delos cart Jaspert I agree. Listening to a cartridge on a Naim based system and Technic SL1200 for a day or 2 is no basis for making sweeping statements on a particular cartridge. The Delos is excellent, but will show up system issues. In most systems I've h... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Yes that's right. | |
| Office partitions as sound panels Here is some useful information -http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/tweaks/messages/17/174817.htmlHere are some of my thoughts for your consideration - Most dedicated audio rooms I see are overdamped. The outcome is people have chosen brighter sound... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The new Clearaudio's have been available here for a number of months. They have been selling off the old Maestro's for $600 new. The major claims here were the stronger magnets and less resonant bodies on the new v2.Thucan - against the general tr... | |
| New AMG tt just arrived. Lewm - fyi I was corresponding with DJ Casser of Black Diamond Racing quite a lot during the past year before he died, and interestingly he was adamant that the move to platforms that had curved sides, either concave or convex, did indeed dissipat... | |
