| VPi HW 19 jr upgrade Guys - for suspended turntables the bearing/arm are mounted on a subchassis. In the case of the VPI it is a "floating sub-chassis" - it has either springs or sorbathane between the subchassis and plinth. The wooden frame and base are the plinth. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Lewm, unfortunately my Dynavector is not mounted at the moment but I will try this at some stage. The Dynavector arm has a 2.5 degree error built in at the outer edge of the record to accommodate the Stevenson - ie straight in headshell, assumi... | |

| Magnepan 3.6, 3.7 or Tannoy Westminister SE I prefer Tannoys as I listen to a lot of orchestral and to me the Tannoys produce a more effortless presentation of a full orchestra and a more seemless and coherent sound. If you do listen to the Tannoys though I would recommend you listen to the... | |
| MC versus MM. Which to choose. You guys are doing the gentleman who started this a great disservice. If he is still with us then we are lucky he hasn't given up on analogue and spent his money on CD.Jonathan Carr is absolutely spot on when he says "The tracking ability of a car... | |

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 - ... | |

| 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... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Raul, Since you have discovered a turntable that reduces distortions considerably over what you have been using, then surely that renders your views on the best cartridges moribund. You may well have written off many cartridges that you thought we... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I owned the Denon DL1000 along with the ebony bodied Dynavector Karat Nova 13D many years ago. On both the matched Denon carbon fiber tonearm and other arms it sounded very refined but was thin, lacked body, detail and dynamics. It was blown away ... | |
