| VPI Classic hum Can anyone here explain why the Classic motor, when you turn it by hand you can feel cogging, just like a stepped attenuator. I have never noticed this before on any other tt motor. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, you are so modest, I thought you left Yugoslavia to distribute peace and goodwill.. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - be patient - "they cling to their own point of view, as though everything depended on it. Yet their opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away..." | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm - thanks for that confirmation, fortunately I haven't binned the Orsonic, although I came close. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, few more suggestionsLoading resistor, using nude ( or nacked as some might say ) vishay's generally will lower the noise floor and remove gunge. Also an old trick we use to do with Decca London cartridges, which liked to be loaded at 22k... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thucan - thanks for the update. My only suggestion would be if the washer is rubber, to provide a metal spacer/washer alternative to fix the end of the arm tube to the rear face of the headshell, such that if a tonearm has slightly oversized tube ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, Interesting discussion on the wood properties. Some of the tonearm manufacturers should be articulating this. I can see some of the advantages you point out. I generally follow the Goldmund mechanical grounding concepts, getting unwanted... | |
| Analog upgrade advice. I have a friend who had the Rega 5. The power supply and the Groovetracer bearing & subplatter upgrade took the performance to a point where it sounded better than the more expensive P7. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? With regard to the Arché SRA headshell - from the pictures there appears to be a couple of weaknesses - it only has a single bayonet ( undersized too, I'm very particular on size ) and there appears to be a gap between the body of the headshell an... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Timeltel, I am no guru. My main experience is MC/Arms/Decks having been an importer and retailer around the advent of CD. Typically in this era we would have Sota/Linn/Roksan/Pink Triangle/Well Tempered /Townsend /Oracle in the shop at the same ti... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks Lewm, I've often wondered if my Orsonic is a dud one. I know you prefer Stevenson, but I've reinstalled the Dynavector to run the Nova17D and I made a jig to ensure the pivot to spindle was spot on. Using the Garrott Bros protractor, which ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? SticheNandricWe have all agreed that handbags should be left at the front door. No more posts on "D" or "Bavarian mafia" - it's boring as all hell. If you still have issues you need to discuss, talk it over with your therapist.If it will help mayb... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Orsonic headshell :The Orsonic AV101b I have is most definitely original, not Chinese.The Orsonic AV-101b that I have is crap. It has a single bayonet that is too small and allows the headshell to rotate as you tighten it onto the arm, it doesn't ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thucan - go and wave your handbag somewhere else. We dont want the vitriolic diatribe from the headshell thread invading this thread. This thread is read by many new audiophiles and is a great reference for MM research.Raul - ignore everything oth... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Slaw - With regard to the aluminium plate/acrylic. I would not run the plate, it's added resonance. I have moved away from metal spikes, and if I use them I radius the tip so it is not a sharp point. I say radius, as in rounded, NOT flat. The idea... |
