| 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... | |
| 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 ... | |

| 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... |
