| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric/Raul - Dynavector Nova 13D fyihttp://www.hifido.co.jp/KWdynavector+karat+nova/G1/E/0-50/C11-60830-14311-00/My one is serial number 45, not sure how many made, but there was a "reissue" in the form of a Nova 17D with metal body a few years ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Hi Albert - no that sounds fine. The engineers modus operandi is that he overbuilds everything, which is great. I have heard the SP10 mk3 but unfortunately in a system, which although I have followed the evolution, I don't know what is doing what.... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Albert, I know the engineer well who designed the mods for the SP10mk3. Will be very interested to see your feedback. One point to consider, you may be better to get the bearing mod and review the impact before the electronics mods, or you will be... | |
| Multiple arms, multiple cartridges and geometry? Henry - for the arms you use that have detachable headshells, surely if you use a headshell that has slots, hence the ability to alter the overhang and alignment, then you can set each cartridge up and the only changeover issues would be tracking ... | |
| Tonearm Damping Good point Syntax, Wrigleys make a gum specifically for the Ortofon cartridge - its called Big Red. | |
| Multi Arm Table The Basis Debut is an excellent turntable, better than some of the alternatives proposed above. The Basis has very precise lockable arm boards that are easy to change over. Why dont you use additional arm boards - you should be able to set up a ra... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Wilfredt, one thing I would strongly recommend is to finalise your amplifier before making the final decision on cables. The acrolink are very good, very high quality materials, basic construction but quite musical. | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Charles1dad, yes I heard the Kondo it in a shop and it opened the soundstage up and sound much more natural than the Nordost, but when used in a known system at home even the MIT Shotgun 3.3 ( well down the pecking order ) highlighted the issues i... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE Wilfredt, prepare for a thousand different views. For me I value speed timing and coherence and I run MIT Oracle/Reference through the whole system. Cardas Golden Reference - sounded warm, coloured and confused, Kondo Silver - pleasant at low leve... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm, no worries. I think there is a lack of real info as DD manufacturers and vendors placed more focus in their advertising on the fact that it is DD. I know the SP10mk3 and Lo7D well and agree with your descriptions of the difference in sonic s... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Lewm, I meant DC motors. As far as I know the following DD's use DC motors - EMT948, Technics SP10mk2&3, Sony PSX9, Kenwood Lo7D, Exclusive P3. The Denon DP100 uses an AC motor. DC motors react to variable loads quite differently to AC motors.... | |
| Dynavector XV-1s vs. Transfiguration Temper w Ah yes Wilson Slamms/Conrad Johnson tube amps, not exactly greased lightning, it is always a matter of perspective. | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Doesn't this discussion on DD servos highlight the question, does a very high mass platter, with very high inertia, driven by a high torque motor with a belt, thread or fluid drive with built in slippage, such that the platter mass will drive thro... | |
| Turntable hum problem after demagnetizing Try this - get a piece of wire, strip both ends and connect one end to the grounding post on your phono stage. Then try touching the other end to tonearm, turntable subchassis, turntable spindle and turntable motor. As you go through these check f... | |
| Who owns stacked Quads here? My personal experience with stacked quads, driven by Quicksilver 8417's, was that I vastly preferred singles with the panels mounted on open stands that lifted them about about 15" off the floor with the faces more vertical. The sound stage was mu... |
