| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Lewm - the in line solderable fuses in the military link above that Raul provided look like an interesting option, particularly in tube power amps that use fuses to protect output tubes. Elimination of additional connections and push fit joi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - when I was in the business in the 80's I heard a full home theatre system in the US - Infinity IRS V's for the fronts, IRS 1B's for the 2 sides and IRS V's for the two at the rear. Top Gun was the movie of the day and I was lucky to get ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? a) $43b) $43 less the marginal tax rate of your businessc ) $43 plus or minus freight and sales tax differentiald ) $2500 actual savings, assuming the purchase of said audiophile fuses saves another trip to the therapist.e) All of the above | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Solong your experiences with the Raven are flabbergasting. My Final Audio Parthenon, built in the 70's, using an AC motor/20kg platter, has infinite control of speed at both 33 & 45, and the amount of torque applied to the motor is fully adjus... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fuses - You can also eliminate fuses and all the push fit connections and additional joints by just soldering in fusewire in series. Anyone try this ?Raul can you confirm your best Virtuoso with boron cantilever - does this sound any different to ... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Thanks Dev for the informed comments. They tally with what I've heard in terms of the superior speed, articulation, noise floor of the Micro 5000 v the Raven AC1. | |
| Tannoy Differences Gwng8, the Pass 60.5 should drive any of those speakers easily unless you listen at exceptionally loud levels in a large room. Typically a pure class A amplifier of 60 watts would be the equivalent of a 200 watt power amp. Of those recommended I w... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Dear poppycock, the two tables in question are the TW AC1 and the Micro Seiki RX5000. You own the TW AC3 and the RX 1500. There are significant differences between the RX1500 and the RX5000. With regard to the comments above, it would be helpful i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - you misrepresent my position on MM's. I dont think there is a definitive answer on which flavour has most "distortions" as you like to call them. They all have different strengths and weaknesses. I have been consistant in that I prize speed... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Maril55 - The verdier platine comes with an option to use a ball and thrust plate. Essentially this means the platter is grounded, and provides an energy path to ground for unwanted energy or resonance. In this mode the magnetic repulsion is still... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - re FR-7f (Axel version) - thanks for clarification. Hopefully someone will compare the new Ikeda with cantilever to the FR-7f at some stage. It would be interesting to know if they are of similar design or whether some new developments ha... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro - one of the original co-designers was either Australian or moved to Australia. I imported the 1st CLS into NZ. The first few came from Aussie to get over import restrictions and then later we imported directly from the states. I think they... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Let us address the myths espoused above -I have a friend with a Micro Seiki. Wonderful table but it does need tweaking and labor - almost constantly. He has the table down well over 50% of the time as he waits for parts, etc. Finding parts are bec... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? If you send the FR-7f to Axel.....for €179 extra, you will have the best LOMC anyone has ever heardDo you know everyone, or is this the collective "we" ? or the royal we ?Glad you like Mr Ikeda's early designs.By the way I agree with you on the CL... | |
| Upgrades to Analog System Atmasphere MP3 is a very highly regarded full function tube preamp with outstanding phono stage, Convergent Audio Technology is another. You could pair this with a reasonable solid state power amp eg Gamut D100 ( $1500 used here now ) and get a gr... |
