| Graham IC70 v. Furutech Silver Arrow Tobes Your comparison of phono cables between the step up transformer and the phono stage is irrelevant because the signal coming off a moving coil cartridge is current not voltage. Your step up transformer converts the signal from the MC from hig... | |
| Mc Anna , Lyra Titan or DynaVector XV 1s If it were my system, I'd start by replacing the Cardas GR ( cardboard colourations in the upper mids ) & Transparent speaker cable ( hifi sounding, not natural ) with MIT Oracle right through, which optimises timing, coherence and harmonic st... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric -if I was looking for criticism, yes I would say the bass is slightly "fat", but it is quick and without loss of information. The female vocal roughness, cant hear that. Thucan - how do these vintage arms work without antiskate ? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, just to clarify my comments on the FR64 - "highs go on forever" - I dont mean extended or highlighted. I am talking about the natural decay of each note. I'm sure others will have their own views, but if I was to try and describe a "resonanc... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? FR64S arm resonance - I am not getting any resonances that impair the playback from the arm thus far. I am getting more information, better harmonic structure and the decay of piano notes, bells, etc goes on forever, seemingly free from interrupti... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, The Dynavector Nova is a medium compliance cartridge - 15-18 cm/dyne and only weighs 9gm despite the Ebony body, so should favour the Dynavector arm if anything. I agree comments are subject to this tt, arm, cartridge, phono, etc....Raul, as... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, I was keen to get your view independently, but since you asked.I removed the Dynavector Nova 13 from the 501 and mounted it in the FR64S.The FR has opened up and fleshed out the midrange, bags more info through the mids than the Dynavector 5... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, thanks. I'm not generally a fan of silver, but it doesn't seem to be doing much wrong in this instance. I have put in a MIT phono cable ( my owned stripped out version ) which may help. Ikeda himself recommends a copper arm cable with his... | |
| What is the best amplifier for Tannoy Kensington ? Ignore the last comment, Tannoys are time aligned thorugh the crossover point, this is why they are so coherent. To biamp with different amplifiers with different transfer functions will destroy what these speakers are about. I own several pars of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm,I managed to pick up a mint FR64S, silver wired with B60 VTA base on the weekend. I fitted it yesterday - I would encourage you to try your FR64?? out. It produces quite a different result than the Dynavector arm.PS I thought the inline solde... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, My suggestion was not to replace the fuses with wire. It was to replace the fuses with "fuse wire" which operates the same as a fuse. Fuse wire can be purchased in the same values as a "glass" or "ceramic" fuse.Fuses - You can also eliminate... | |
| Ear Speakers-AKG Q701's or Sennheiser HD 598's??? I can highly recommend the Final Audio Muramasa VIII - they are outstanding. If these are a bit pricy they have some cheaper options which are excellent. Some are available through ebay.http://final-audio-design.com/en/lineupFailing this have you ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 10-21-12: RnadellThis is a response from Roger Modjeski re: fuses. Rnadell - excellent post that everyone should read.So, how do you make your own silver fuses. Simply wrap the right size silver wire from post to post of the fuse holder and solder... | |
| high torque AC motor ugrade or kit Not sure on torque, but the turntable is quite good. The rigid plinth, no suspension, helps with timing in my view. You need to find out what the motor actually is, there are plenty of speed controllers for ac motors out there. VPi SDS for example... | |
| high torque AC motor ugrade or kit I think you had better do some research - I used to import Rocks and they all had AC synchronous motors, to which you could add the Merlin power supply.The original arm would get sticky bearings, they are loose inside and there is a fix, but I'm n... |
