| Ortofon's new A95 - titanium SLM cartridge 01-22-15: DiggoryWhy do people keep on calling the Ortofon Windfeld the Winfield? It's not a pack of cigarettes.01-23-15: Pcostaortofon.comTheir spelling.No, it is a reading issue. The Ortofon site reads W I N D F E L D.There is NO "I" after the "... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Ct0517,As you know the ET2 is a very tweakable arm. I run slightly higher torque settings on the 4 arc bolts and for this reason I loosen them slightly before adjusting VTA. Your analogy of car wheels is rather odd. In over 35 years of running the... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Merry Xmas to all.Richard - congrats on the new ET2. Are you going to mass this year ?Ct0517 - when I do VTA adjustments I always loosen the 4 bolts slightly to release pressure on the arc block, and then retorque. Indeed if you loosen the bolts t... | |
| SME V problem O holter - this is very odd. I've never had this happen. The arm rest from memory is clamped to the pillar with a cap screw ( just under the arm bearing housing ). If the whole arm is turning ( including both armrest, bearings and pillar etc, then... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Fleib/Peterayer/LewmHaving set up 100's of TT's when I was a high end dealer in the 80's, it became readily apparent to me that suspended TT's with the motor fixed were not speed stable - particularly noticeable on solo piano pieces. Some are wors... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm - There are no sides here. I am reminded of the old doctor who unfortunately misunderstood a lady who wandered into the clinic and complained of acute angina. I have been fortunate to acquire an exceptionable turntable that still outperforms ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm,To clarify a few points -My comment that the best DD I've heard thus far is the SP10mk3 is based on listening, not torque numbers. The Krebs modified SP10mk2 is in my view easily outperformed by a well set up Garrard 401. The L07D has always ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lewm, Since this thread was started I have had further opportunity to listen to a Garrard 401/Raven/Zyx, Technics SP10mk2/Raven/Zyx ( both before and after full Krebs mod ) and Kenwood L07D all in the same system. The Garrard 401 presented a more ... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lohanimal, It is more a function of the error correction systems used in direct drive TT's. Like digital, they have inherent jitter that destroys the time and phase relationships of the music signal. This results in soundstage aberrations as well ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib,Thanks for posting the link to the article on phase response in MC's/MM's.It does go a long way to explaining differences of opinion, listing preferences and system attributes will play a significant role.Here is an interesting video that hi... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners I also happen to believe based on my compressors versus current setup from years ago, that there are advantages in a constant air psi being delivered by a quality pump versus a cycling off and on compressor which is like letting air out of a ballo... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners PegasusYou don't get steel more elastic than with a perfectly pointed unipivot interface. Then think "it" as an elongated point and you see something like a short subminiature "string" at the end of the point - quite elastic, like a very small pie... | |

| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib - It is interesting to note that the high frequency 2db rise at 20k with the Grace F9 is greater than any of my moving coil cartridges ( Dynavector Karat Nova 13D, Koetsu Black ). Certainly the F9E I owned with original stylus was a little t... |
