| Feedback blew my phono stage? Wouldn't you be better off to sell it whilst it's still going. What happens if the designer gets run over. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul - Some time ago you asked me about retipping the Dynavector Nova 13D. Last time about 10 or 12 years ago Dynavector rebuilt mine and said last time, no more generators available. Now fortunately as a special favour they have rebuilt the Nova ... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review I have no issue with Fremer stating a turntable sounds dry - it is only an opinion and voiced in the context of his system and room. Where I do have an issue is his statements that the VPI Classic is the most speed stable belt driveThe Classic 3 i... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517Fyi the Final Audio TT uses a 35mm thick slab of superplastic zinc ( SPZ ) for the "plinth" - weight of plinth exclusive of platter/bearing/armpod/arm is approx 40kg. The inverted bearing and armpod are bolted directly to this slab. Info is ... | |
| Valve phono or valve linestage? Halcro - we have the same issue here in NZ. The last Aesthetix I saw here was sitting in at a workshop awaiting repair, for which Aesthetix wouldn't provide any circuit diagrams even to the official distributor here. So my advice is if you are spe... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Why would you go to Ogura to buy a micro ridge diamond. The microridge profile is patented by Namiki Precision Jewel Company, and as far as I know Namiki still manufacture this. Namiki also used to make cantilevers and complete cartridges... | |
| Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review Well I hope this post doesn't put the kiss of death on it but I have a Final Audio Parthenon VTT1 turntable built in the 1970's before the big Micro's & Melco's even existed. It weighs 70kg+, with defined energy paths using copper, aluminium, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric - boron cantilevers used to come in both tube and solid rod. The Technics EPC 100 hollow boron cantilever was formed on an aluminium rod, and then the aluminium was removed with acid to leave the ultra thin boron cantilever. So yes you can... | |
| Fuses that matter. Al, Silver vs steel - could there be some other explanation such as susceptibility to noise, audiophile fuses could be better constructed, merely changing the fuses will wipe/clean the contact points and reduce resistance.An old trick is to replac... | |
| Audio Research SP3A-1 or Conrad Johnson PV11 Bob, you may be interested to know that prior to producing his own preamp, Mike Saunders, the QS designer, used the SP3A with his QS monos at home.'From my experience the QS pre has a very direct sound, the SP3 more old school, but top/bottom end ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project The Nude Turntable Project is a modern fairytale based on an adaptation of "The Emperors New Clothes" by Hans Christian Andersen. Everyone looked at the new NTP with wonderment, but could not see that in reality it wore a cloak of many colours tha... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Lewm, My take from his description is that he unmuted the preamp when MC was selected with the volume up and a MM installed - hence this probably blew the phono stage.Now the feedback he referred to in the other thread could be any of physical, ac... | |
| Glanz moving magnet cartridges I'm afraid gentlemen that we have officially landed in the age of mediocrity with regard to cartridge build quality, no matter what price.Note the recent experiences of Fremer with the Lyra diamonds being mounted incorrectly. From my experience yo... | |
| Feedback blew my phono stage? Henry, What does the low frequency feedback sound like - is it a quick or slow pulsing sound or a constant sound. What sort of frequency would you estimate. | |
| Nude Turntable Project Victor 101 - Could you get rid of the flimsy bottom cover completely and mount the nude deck via an inverted tripod ? It doesn't look particularly rigid from the photos.Potentially could you remove the internal transformer and some of the electron... |
