| Dustcover Blues @mijostyn I'll let you in to a little dirty little secret - its the arm. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable Actually the most significant difference between the Reed 2G and 3P is that the horizontal motion bearings use a sapphire cup and needle point in the 2G, but in the 3P the horizontal motion bottom bearing uses magnetic repulsion. This allows for a... | |
| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage @nandric both the kuzma and moerch have at least 4 counterweights of different weights which are combined to optimise their mass and position. By my maths that equates to 24 combinations in each case the helius has 3 counterweights plus 2 smal... | |
| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage @nandric there are plenty of tonearns that provide multiple or adjustable mass counterweights . examples I have owned or set up are Kuzma 4point, sme, zeta, helius, moerch to name a few. Unfortunately many audiophiles who claim to be expert ... | |
| If you were looking for a direct drive turntable ... I would recommend a new Rega P8 with Rega cartridge. Easy to set up, use and outstanding performance for the money. If you purchase with a Rega cartridge, you should be able to order it pre set up and ready to go. See Fremers review of the P10.... | |
| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage @nandric It is very simple. Audiogon provides an excellent forum for audiophiles to discuss and debate all things audio. The issue is that Audiogon can only exist if funding permits, and I assume that some of their funding comes from sales commi... | |
| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage @nandric nandric 3,806 posts 11-16-2021 7:12am I own two and just listed one with B-60 replica on the German site ''audio-markt.de''. The arm for 2000 euro and B-60 for 700 euro. You might have a better chance of selling your arm if ... | |
| Ikeda 407 Tone Arms - New or Vintage @chakster the arm can be used with high compliance cartridges with stock counterweight and with low compliance cartridges with optional W250 heavy counterweight. You have got this ass about face. The key to using the arm with a high complia... | |
| New cartridge selection: help wanted I would suggest buying a Goldring MC ( excellent value for money ) that matches the Audiomods very well ( I put that combo on a Platine Verdier I sold ) or Audiotechnica ATM33Ptg and put the extra money to a new phono stage.I have a friend who ha... | |
| Fidelity Research FR7F history/changes @totem395 You have to understand that in Russia nothing ages. When @chakster looks in the mirror each morning he sees a young 17 year old man, hasn’t aged a bit in 50 years.Of course on the several occasions when Dynavector rebuilt my vintage Kara... | |
| Fidelity Research FR7F history/changes I have never owned a vintage phono cartridge that actually had insoluble problems due to aging of the suspensionCant dispute that statement - perhaps you could try cleaning your cartridges in an ultrasonic bath. | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? @lewmWhat I wonder, however, is why Dover is so intent upon discrediting these vintage turntables. It’s all very well to love and prefer whatever it is that you own over all other TTs, but why does that require that all other solutions to the prob... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? @jpjones3318I think you misunderstand the point I'm making - I'm not saying the Technics is "computing" - I'm saying the speed measurement and correction system is built on old technology. Your own improved chip replacement circuit has already de... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? @jpjones3318Hi Dover, The Technics "Quartz Locked" units utilize PLL motor control.So you believe the frequency generator, speed and phase control circuits meet current state of the art performance do you, even though the SP10 uses 70’s chips and ... | |
