| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, Your Pythagorean theorem explanation seems flawed to me. If the cartridge is twisted relative to the tonearm then this explanation is irrelevant. If we assume the diamond is correctly alligned in the body, and the cartridge is angled to prov... | |
| which turntable to buy for $1500 best value ? SOTA - the refurbished units ex factory are good value. SOTA uses grease in bearing not oil. Critical thing in transporting a SOTA is the transit bolts that lift the platter/spindle off the sapphire thrust pad to prevent damage in transit.Replacin... | |
| Amp recommendations for Tannoy Canterbury SE I have been listening to Tannoy GRF Pro's and 15" Monitor Golds in Canterbury sized cabinets for over 15 years. In my view tubes are not the way to go - I've had Futterman OTL's, Quicksilvers, Conrads, EAR etc high power, low power , pentode, trio... | |

| SME 20/2 Finger Lift Hum Rsnoceanview - good luck, I know how frustrating this can be. | |
| Lyra Delos Settings Jonathan - Your comments are always full of nuggets ( gold ).Quick question, with my Marantz 7, it has enough gain ( and dynamics ) for cartridges from about .3 up. I prefer MC's that will run at 47k to avoid loading down and reducing the apparent... | |
| SME 20/2 Finger Lift Hum Lewm, not quite correct. Additional observations were I was explaining to the gentleman why touching the SME armtube did not induce hum - anodising.Provided additional options for insulation on the arm for aesthetics - get a painted one or use hea... | |
| Lyra Delos Settings Agiacco - you would be best running through all the settings yourself. Although this is tedious you will learn a lot and it is really the only way to find the optimum set up in your system. Even if you found someone with an identical system, if th... | |
| SME 20/2 Finger Lift Hum If the SME V arm tube is anodised, then this explains why it doesn't hum when touched- anodising gives a non conducting surface. The question here is what finger lift are you using. It would seem to me when you are touching the arm lift or cartrid... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, lightweight headshell suggestion - buy a few Sumiko headshells ( they have azimuth adjustment ) 14g and drill holes in them to reduce weight. I have the low weight Orsonic - it's useless - not particularly rigid on the dynavector arm. It's v... | |
| My Final Amplifier Purchase - What Would You Buy? Nightfall,The speaker Ralph mentioned was the High Emotion Audio Bella Twin speakers. | |
| Low vs. High Output MC Cartridges Hi - the answer is that the lower output requires less number of coils and due to the lower mass of the moving coils can be quicker than the higher output MC. The downside of the lower output is the requirement for a higher gain phono stage. Some ... | |
| Rebuilding a Benz Ebony H: Who can do it? When you bought this you were offered a rebuild program as part of the purchase consideration.You should be able to get a replacement cartridge for the cost of a rebuild if they cannot rebuild it as advertised when you bought it. | |
| Lyra Olympos SL: Discontinued? So we've been to the mountain, and now, we are promised the world .....but delivered an Atlas. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, - Grace 714 - I should have been clearer on "not particularly rigid". In the sample I've seen and set up there was a lack of rigidity around the headshell area. |
