Anyone ever listened to a vintage Victor Laboratory X1 cartridge Ps: he said everyone except Raul and Dover Thanks - I prefer to buy dodgy used cartridges from Japan directly rather than 3rd party resellers. | |

Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters Dover, I’m not quite sure what the argument is really about but my calculations suggest that a change in EL from 222mm to 225mm would increase effective mass by only about 2%. @lewm The OP wants to use an ARC protractor. As I pointed out ear... | |
Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters " Apparently you think its fine to set up tonearms with an accuracy of +-0.3mm " You did it not me,so don't put words in my mouth. Actually you suggested mounting the arm 3mm out of manufacturers specs. Here is your actual post. rauli... | |
Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters Who is way wrong with the numbers is not only you but OL too because 222 + 17.53 is not 239 or 9.5". One of my options that I posted puts the best number nearer to that 239 with a difference of only 0.1mm instead 0.3mm. Anyway, numbers just do n... | |
Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters No it’s not wrong because OL says a margin of +,- 2mm. In the other side we can change those numbers with out any negative consequence because 225 means longer EL and les distortion. This is poor advice. The OP expressed the desire to use an A... | |
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Steve Gutenberg recently reviewed a new Zesto Tube Phone Preamp, but he intentionally chose the MM one not the more expensive MM/MC one, but instead used, you guessed it, SUTs with it. The more expensive Zesto phonos use a SUT internally wit... | |
Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters @rauliruegas @neonknight At P2S 225 distance L¨fgren B gives you 17.53 that has no consequwences in your 17.5 desired overhang. Your numbers are wrong. The Agile manual from Origin Live sats - Centre of mounting hole to centre of platter... | |
Feel Silly Asking This Question Alignment Parameters I don't know why you folk don't read the manual. @neonknight Origin live Agile ( standard 9.5" arm 239mm ) has a recommended pivot to spindle distance 222mm. Overhang for Baerwald A is 17.3mm - offset 22.99 Overhang for Baerwald B is 17.75 - o... | |
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Jico SAS above - see the ridge around the top - some call it a micro ridge. Others call. it a microscanner. Have a closer look at the bottom right hand of your diagram "contact with records" there is a ridge at the bottom of the stylus. | |
Anyone ever listened to a vintage Victor Laboratory X1 cartridge I own the X1mk2 - it is a so so cartridge and the one to go for is something else. | |
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? If you own the cartridge body then the best is to fix it with boron cantilever and MR stylus tip and not SAS boron. The Jico Boron/SAS is a boron cantilever with a microridge profile stylus - is there something I'm missing here ? | |
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? You can buy SUT with a phase equalizer option. @lalitk Can you give me an example. Are you sure you are not talking about running a zoebel network as recommended by Jensen - this is designed to minimise ringing and distortion inherent in the... | |
Step Up Transformers….Are they Worth the Trouble? Several audiophiles on this " SUT's party " have any idea what I'm talking about when theyare so happy with those SUT they own that does not permits that the cartridge can shows at its best. That's correct. MC Step Up transformers are like can... |
