| Found Great Seller - Plinth for Technics 1200 GAE That’s a base not a plinth. The plinth is the bit that supports both the platter and tonearm. That's so funny. For those of us for whom English is our first language, a plinth is a base - example being the square base under the greek columns. ... | |
| what kind of grease do I use for my SOTA Sapphire bearing? It is a very heavy, tacky oil they are using. Maybe, but if the gentleman has the original inverted bearing with the sapphire cup, then if I recall correctly that bearing used white lithium grease. @fosolitude check with SOTA before you wreck... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum I have some NOS Talisman S and recently when I took them out to have a look at the styli I was shocked by how clean stylus/cantilever interface was compared to current even top of the line cartridges. I could not see any glue at all - the micro r... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum @mijostyn Given the disappointment of possibly having to write off an $11k a cartridge that you wanted to enjoy for some years, I think your comments have been very even handed and if Mofi follow through you have done a favour for the rest of us... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum It is a shame to see such a anti third party service type, publicly and regularly spread their doubt on the qualities of the end result of the work completed. Say what. Is this self parody or dissociative amnesia. Most of what you posted was d... | |
| A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum In my view the Distributor should have offered to have the fault evaluated by the factory. If it was a manufacturing fault - then they should come to the party. If they felt it was a user issue then they could stand by their warranty. If I was th... | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? @islandmandan @lewm For Dynvector arms use the markings for the counterweight as per the manual for initial placement then do the fine tuning of the counterweight from there - gently back and forth from there - you'll see when its right from m... | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? @islandmandan That's great to hear. FYI the Dynavector Cartridges prevalent at the time of the 501/507 series launch were medium compliance. You can get more performance from your 501 by fine tuning the position of the rear counterweight. If ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I posted: " the unit can’t be overloaded by any cartridge " situation " due that’s headroom is a huge one, " but you as always looking words or whatever just trying to hit me but as always you failed again. No I pointed out exactly what you p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? All the active and passive parts that we choosed are running at no more of 60% of its capabilities under any condition. That is a very low overload margin by any standards. 40/60 sees an overload margin of only 67%. Some of the components in m... | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? @asa The silver Audioplan cable I use specifically for MM & MI cartridges never went into production - too expensive to produce. | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? @islandmandan I have a multitude of arms/cartridges & TT's. Fyi when I had a hiatus from audio I ran a Shure V15vmr in a modified ET2 - superb results. Also like you I have a Dynavector 501 - the Shure V15vmr sounded very good in that arm a... | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition Apparently, all 250 LP12 50th Anniv tables are now sold! Obviously they priced it too low. Ivor must be devastated. | |
| The new Linn LP12 50th Anniversary edition I don't like the new rounded style - it looks cheap. They should go back to the original classic scandi look - square edges and fluted plinth of yore. My new Apple M2 is probably better built and likely sounds better. | |
| Shindo Vosne Romanee / MC240 / Linn LP12 / ProAc & Altec - DAC? @soundandmadeira91 Shindo uses 16ohm versions of the altec drivers. Altec drivers such as the 604 originally came in 16ohms, but later on changed to 8 ohm drivers. For your Altec 19 stay with your MC240. Best I've heard the Altec 19's was with... |
