| New 55,000 Euro tonearm @optimize It is good to know that we have a humble expert here that we can lean on without owning and living with a houdini or SAT cf1-09 I presume. We have many posters here on audiogon who are experts on products they have never heard. Th... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Deciding whether or not to buy the 55,000 Euro SAT CF1-09 tonearm when you buy the 150,000 Euro SAT XD1 turntable....the epitome of First World Problems. You might be better off finding a forum for Technics 1200 turntables, the epitome of third... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm If you balance a stable balance arm so that it floats horizontally, lift it an inch or two, let go and it will swing up and down until it finds its stable balance point. It will find the same balance point every time. If you do this to a neutral ... | |
| Tonearms for a Luxman PD-444 Ludicrous to put a copper mat on the Luxman PD444. The motor has been designed to reduce the mass load on the bearing by.generating magnetic levitation within the motor. The addition of a copper mat - if you use something like the Micro 180 at 1... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Whether you agree or not with the veracity of Fremers reviews, he has had an immense impact on the resurgence of vinyl after the digital onslaught in the late 80's, particularly amongst the baby boomers - we should be thankful. I think AP & S... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II @atmasphere I gave up when Raul confused cantilever material with cantilever motion ( see quote from Raul below ). The reality is that any change of loading will possibly have an impact on "tracing the groove". The Shure white papers explain th... | |
| Victor TT 801 I am not interested to amp repair in Japan to do a turntable repair or maintenance ..... by my ability I know how to do it myself. @best-groove Obviously you don't, otherwise you wouldn't spend all this time on audio forums asking the same qu... | |
| Victor TT 801 AMP Repair Studio in Japan can do a complete rebuild on JVC TT-801’s - see here for example http://amp8.com/amp-etc/record/victor/tt-801.htm | |
| I finally got a record cleaning machine. First thoughts. I must be living a charmed life, because I use neither, and I have LPs that I have been playing for 40 or 50 years Last week I took a couple of baroque records to a friends place to listen to his new Van Den Hul Grand Cru and top of the line VD... | |
| Has anyone puchased from Virusa recently? ViraUSA appears to be the same business otherwise known as GRGAudio. There appears to be many complaints such as this Purchased this Technics EPC 100Mk 3 ED Cartridge Dec 25th. When it showed up it was a different serial number. The suspension ... | |
| Is SUT needed for a low output cartridge with a Gryphon Pandora & Legato phono module? @cycles2 68db is plenty of gain for your Dynavector which has 0.3mv output. The Gryphon phono, particularly your version, which is the latest, is superb. No need to look to complicate matters. Gryphon's most famous product, their first, was a... | |
| Connecting Audio @rpaudio There's nothing to stop you running an interconnect from the Pioneer pre out to a line input on the Rotel preamp - so the Rotel pre/power will pick up any one signals from the Pioneer. Question is - why do you need to use both ? | |
| Precision Motor Controller @ira2000 Micro had both a DC and AC motor available for the 1500 series TT's. Model RY1500D is DC servo motor. Model RY1500A is an AC motor - these are quite rare. I don't think the controllers will work in either case. You might get an impr... | |
| Is SUT needed for a low output cartridge with a Gryphon Pandora & Legato phono module? Waste of time in my view, SUT's are so variable both in quality and matching you'll be opening a pandoras box (couldn't resist). The Gryphon phonos are very good, no need to look elsewhere. I used one with an ultra low output Ikeda ( 0.15mc ) - ... | |
| Voltage regulators and input impedance Well, it’s not that the bass will roll off, although I guess it would at a barely measurable rate since the midrange input Z is stated to be 23K ohms, as that once you get below a ratio of 1:10 for output Z vs input Z, you start to lose more sign... |
