Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Hi Slaw - here are a few suggestions for you to consider - Wiring loom - I would untwist the wire between the arm and plinth to reduce resistance. I would also place the anchor point for the cable on the plinth at the midway point of travel, not t... | |
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? In_shore - let me guess, you used the back arrow on a Mac ?? | |
Screw-down reflex clamps vs. record weights Some of the comments above demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of clamps/weights. You have to look at the total picture, in particular what is under the record.Example Record weights do little to bond the record to the platter, so they pr... | |

Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - thats very sad on the Shiraz. The original Van den hul modded EMT is still in my mind one of the great cartridges for reproduction of the speed and weight of a full orchestra. The Shiraz would have been very interesting. Why dont you che... | |
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? OK I refrained from answering yesterday but here goes my 2 cents -Curently own Meridian 508.24 - the only CD player I've ever owned.Players listened to in system - EMM Labs XDS1 - massive deep soundstage, very smooth, reasonably detailed, very nic... | |
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... |
