| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The issue I have with the Magic Diamond saga is that people are presuming it is a reworked Denon 103 but there is no proof. Even if it was, we have no idea of how much rework is done and at what cost.As far as I recall the original Van den Hul Gra... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Chris, hi there,Thats exactly where I ended up with the Shure V15 - 1 lead weight far far out. I think with the electrodampening of the lateral tube motion and decoupling of the beam in place, even low compliance cartridges benefit from least weig... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richardkrebs,A simple dynamic load test you might want to try if you havent already done so, is to hold your finger against the rotating platter while playing music. I'm not sure how relevent this is - the force reative to the incremental change i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - I'm surprised you have time to post given the number of cartridges awaiting your attention. I have a Reto Andreoli moving coil preamp sitting on the shelf, but alas no cartridge. Will be interested to see what you hear. My old Denon 103 ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There is no such thing as a conical stylus, a conical stylus would gouge your record out.There is a spherical tipped stylus.Now there is an interesting summary or explanation of Reto Andreoli's theory on why spherical tipped stylus are more approp... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The mouse and the elephant :Nandric due to the size of the contact of the stylus, the record groove is about 1/6th the size of a human hair, 1.5g tracking force equates to roughly 340lbs/square inch. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lharasim - My suggestion then, based on what I see in the video, and given the age of the deck, would be to get the power supply checked over and ensure it is in spec, check the electrolytic caps which can dry out. In my experience decent power su... | |
| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? Jonathan - apart from the hyperbole, I do like your gear, and the plinths look great.......cheers. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - if you would like to send me the Glanz & Astatic, I would be happy to arbitrate in this matter and give a fair and balanced review. | |
| Garrard 301-Worth the effort? Jweiss/RadicalsteveYou guys crack me up."the best tweeter ever""the only speaker in the world made of solid wood""slate is perfect material for audio...doesn't ring""my TT101 is the most dynamic deck ever"None of which can be substantiated. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lharasim - I did read your response and had another look at the video. The "lurching" or "hunting" that I see occurs in the 1st 19 seconds before you put your finger on the platter. Did you have another finger on the platter out of sight ? From th... | |
| "Undo" biwiring? Eugene81, this thread doesn't need to be complicated. Your idea is perfectly fine. If you are happy that you are not going to biwire then shifting the wires internally to one post each for postive and negative is actually the best solution.It has ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Halcro - Breaking newsflash -This Fatbob could have the magnetic drive, where the belt drives a subplatter and it relies on magnets on the platter to "lock" to the attracting magnets on the subplatter. They say it reduces wow and flutter by a fact... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm We all know the TT in Halcro's video was the Transrotor Fatbob. I dont think it is representative of a true "high mass" or "high inertia" TT for the following reasons -Platter is only 11kg - even Brinkmann suggest minimum 15kgDrive belt is elastic... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Peterayer - that lurching almost disappears when he puts a constant load on the platter at the end which I thought was quite interesting. |
