The stylus and cantilever are cut from one diamond, whereas the Dynavector Nova 13D has a diamond cantilever with a Y shaped yoke into which the stylus diamond is glued.Lewm, your co... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? T_bone, unfortunately the Sony XL88 was a loaner and has long gone. My current stable are Ikeda Kiwame, Koetsu Black, Dynavector Nova 13D Ebony, Denon 103D & Shure V15V vmr/vxmr. Daily runner is the Koetsu Black. Agree with you on the Ikeda - ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew - Reto lives in Switzerland. Switzerland is made up of people of German, French & Italian descent. Main spoken language is German. However people speak whatever language works - I've sat in Tuscany many times listening to Italians starting... | |

| Analysis Paralysis on Phone Stage and MC Cartridge Hi - The phono stage is easy - check out the EAR834P Classic or Signature ( 900 & 1200 ) on audiogon. Covers MC/MM and is good enough for a turntable upgrade later. It has a very easy and musical sound. With regard to cartridge I would stay wi... | |

| Turntable speed accuracy Tonywinsc,For records with holes out of centre my engineer mate simply uses a thread file ( very small round file ) to open the hole up only in the direction you need to move the record to centre it. Then puts a marker on the label to indicate whi... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - great demo, no accent.I agree with Lewm on neutrality, different for different folks. We all know if we have a preamp with a dip at 3k say and we listen to it for a long enough, the ear/brain adjusts, and when you try something else that ... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Halcro - you are being disingenuous. The Fat Bob has a stretchy elastic band for a belt and furthermore the drive from the belt is close to the bearing. By not driving the circumference of the platter a lot of purchase from the puny motor is being... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy When I am playing Vladimir Horowitz on my turntable should I ask him to stop on the half hour Eastern Standard Time so I dont have to listen to the speed corrections ?Seriously though when I was selling Elite Rock Townsend turntables which used an... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy I haven't got perfect pitch and my friends tell me my timing aint that good, but I find piano recordings fantastic for laying bare speed and VTA issues. The words clangy and compressed come to mind when things aren't well, assuming the recording i... | |
