| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? Chakster/Nandric - I have used the Neutrik Profi - they are garbage in terms of sound quality - I have a bagful to prove it. The newer range of Klei are a new design and better than the earlier Eichmann bullets. The Klei and WBTNextgen are both go... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? PS. No need to do the Jonathan Cleese imitation. But do bring the parrot with you.Lewm, The gentleman you are referring to from Monty Python is John Cleese, no such person as Jonathan Cleese with respect to Monty Python. Cheers | |
| Benz Refs stripped screw hole Using a larger bolt is a recipe for disaster.Try wrapping some plumbers tape over the bolt - this may be enough to get some purchase on the thread.Alternately, why not send the cartridge to someone like Soundsmith to effect a proper repair. Should... | |
| High mass vs Low Mass Turntables - Sound difference? There are few modern linear arms made with air bearing just like air-hockey.On the contrary there are many -Eminent Technology, Air Tangent, Cartridge Man, Bergmann, Kuzma, Walker, Zorin, Terminator just to name a few.I never had any kind of probl... | |
| Has anyone tried resistor loading the primary of a MC SUT ? Pani, You are wrong about Ralphs comments.Loading the primary can induce ringing in the transformer. Loading the secondary "dampens" both the transformer and cartridge. The results of loading are quite variable and unpredictable - depending on car... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thuchan has the Denon DP100Mhttps://audiocirc.com/2015/04/15/denon-100m/ but is in the process of selling it....🤔He’s not a huge DD fan and may even sell his Victor TT-101...😱Halcro - The first owner of my Final Audio Research VTT1 turntable (thre... | |
| Distortion mystery -- MC cart mistracking? / transformer / head amp input saturation?? What do you mean by "low gain setting".The ANS2 has 2 IMPEDANCE settings - L and H.L is for ultra low internal impedance cartridges and has HIGHER gain.H is for higher impedance cartridges and has LOWER gain.According to audio note the H setting i... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I explain ( trhough an Agon post. ) in precise way that that picture that shows the cartridge mounted in its dedicated headshell was only to use it in my ad for sale Agon listing. Raul, why would you mount, advertise and sell a cartridge mounted i... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Nandric,I'm not convinced "we all think in the same way". My professional life includes overhauling businesses and business processes. Believe me, one of the most powerful ways of removing "blockages" in businesses is by showing people how to thin... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 RaulMy MC pre eschews the use of circuit boards, has no wiring, every component is soldered to the other components in free space ( in a 3 dimensional array to minimise component interaction as is done in the Mares Connoisseur ).For your next buil... | |
| help determining which Audience Phono cable matches best to my Lyra Kleos cart? Hi - the internal impedance of your Lyra Kleos is 5.4ohms. Therefore the optimum would be the Low Z cable.Cheers. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Raul -2 further thoughts on your system. You will be pleased to know that like you I use outdated bipolar devices for optimum LOMC amplification, mine designed and hand built by Reto Andreoli. It is vastly more transparent and than anything else I... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Raul,It is possible your preamp is quite good. ’State of the art’ unlikely from what I’ve seen. For a start the casework and circuit board physical attributes utilised in the Essential in of themselves induce significant hysteresis distortion. You... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners bh80231I indeed have 2 aluminum wands and yes, running LOMC’s - Ortofon Quintet Black (boron cantilever), Ortofon Quintet Mono, and an AT33PTG/II.I have had different wraps on them in the past, and stuffed foam inside too (what is your stance on t... | |
| The value of of the sealed record. Several years ago, I visited the Mobile Fidelity retail store in Sebastopol, CA (now long gone) and bought several albums right out of the display bins for $13.99 each. I kept them sealed for about twenty five years, and recently sold them to a re... |
