| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib, Many years ago my friend took his bog standard L07D over to Richardkrebs who at that time had a heavily modified Goldmund Studio. Despite the Goldmund having had many power supply and other modifications and an ET2/Monster Alpha cartridge a... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? 07-13-15: RichardkrebsFleib.To add a little more to your question. I took a lot of notes when upgrading a customers LO7D. One surprising observation is that the motor stator is rubber mounted via grommets. Such that it is possible for the stator ... | |
| MIT continued experience Zd542The MIT has multiple articulation poles across the frequency range. As you go up the price range you get more articulation poles. These are points where the phase, time and energy settling times are congruent. I would assume that in the biwir... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib - both the Final designer and Goldmund have clearly stated their design goals. In the Final design their goal is to dump excess energy from the stylus/record interaction to ground as fast as possible. They eschew any form of soft materials -... | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Fleib - please explain what doesn't add up. If you read my post I referred to the Goldmund platter, not mat. There is no difference between your post and mine.Here is an example of the vagaries of mats - my final Audio VTT1 has a 16kg aluminium pl... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm - With the various mats the L07D stainless & Micro 180g Copper were very close on the SP10. It is possible the differences may be more to do with mass & the actual surface profile than anything else, since they are both high impedance... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lewm, You might like to try a copper mat on your SP10 if you haven't already. In a direct comparison of the L07D stainless mat, Boston, and a few others - the copper mat came out as the most complete in my experiments.A word of caution - for DD tu... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-04-15: RichardkrebsWouldnt your process potentially take the spindle out of parallel with the record surface? This would mean that the tracking angle would change as the cartridge traverses the record.Richardkrebs, "tracking angle" does not app... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt - In your methodology for levelling the arm the stylus has friction or resistance imparted even by the smooth record. A better way to check the level of the bearing tube (and the efficacy of the lead out wires ) is to add enough mass or mov... | |
| Koetsu Jade v SPU classic v FR 7 fz cartidges Nandric - to answer your question I use the heavy Orsonic 101B ( with the slots for cartridge mounting ). Here is my Orsonic....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXzmZ10Q2kE | |
| Koetsu Jade v SPU classic v FR 7 fz cartidges Halcro, Comparing the structural rigidity of the Orsonic to conventional headshells is nebulous really. One is a set of torsion bars, the other a flat plate. Both have resonances, just a different set. As far as the FR S3 headshell goes, it is a s... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Bigalt, I run the wire straight out of the arm tube, looped under the bearing spindle/armlift rod to a teflon block on the the side of the TT (this is mounted behind the lift spindle and halfway along to minimise wire tension when playing. The wir... | |
| Koetsu Jade v SPU classic v FR 7 fz cartidges I have tried the Orsonic 101, Ikeda, Audiotechnica Technihard, Audiocraft and the original FR headshell in my FR64S with a variety of cartridges including Koetsu, Dynavector Nova 13, Ikeda, FR1mk3, Victor X1 and many others.With the Koetsu the Ors... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? 05-25-15: PrysoLew, one possible exception regarding what "specs" tell us. Most MC cartridge specs show a rising high end, often above 15K. Some perceive that as added detail, others as objectionable brightness.I believe that may be a basic differ... |
