| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners 06-04-14: RichardkrebsThe arm IS rigid at audio frequencies, however it is sensitive to supply pressure irregularities. These are two completely different phenomena. Richardkrebs, your interpretation of Bruces email is interesting.Could you explai... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Richardkrebs,From your explanation I conclude that you are putting an argument forward that the more components that are in the process that are inherently unstable, then based on mathematical probability you are suggesting that this may increase ... | |
| How long before your cartridge warms up? If you read the fine print on your cartridge manuals, some manufacturers actually publish temperature and/or humidity guidelines. A friend of mine found the Shelters mistrack here depending on the season, whereas the Benz tracks fine all year roun... | |
| Eminent Technology ET-2 Tonearm Owners Frogman et al,There are many reasons why different tubes will affect the sound.Depending upon the velocity, the air is likely to flow chaotically, forming vortexes and eddies as it moves down the pipe, it is not necessarily laminar.The geometry of... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jcarr - The Sony my friend Warwick Mickell reviewed for TAS in 1983 was described as X88D, not XL88D. Warwick, who was living in Japan, was loaned the cartridge directly from Mori. He describes a precariously long cantilever (diamond) that made hi... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Sjy425/AudiofunRichardkrebs criticism of the Ultra 5 may be a result of changes he has made to his Technics and Eminent Technology ET2 tonearm, both of which have substantial changes from standard and bear little resemblance to the original design... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, The Jasmine phono uses J-farts to amplify LOMC's, giving the MC input 70db of gain exclusive of line stage gain. I find them a little too coarse and noisy for my taste. With cartridges around 0.12mv unless you have very high gain, clean a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Highphonics have very very low output (0.12). They are very arm sensitive and phono sensitive, so I suspect it suits Dgob's solid state phono. Ex Denon engineers, has some semblance to the Denon DL1000. They need a very high gain, best I've he... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? 05-13-14: RichardkrebsDoverSlick 50? Never. I use Motul as you well know.You have a very short memory. Prior to using Motul, back in the 80's you were recommending the use of Slick 50 oil. At the time I was a high end dealer and we found that Slic... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Richardkrebs,From your lack of answers to the questions I raised, I can only assume that you agree that the issues are valid. 05-12-14: RichardkrebsDoes Artisan Fidelity provide before and after resonance plots for their plinth and bearing drain?A... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? A few points on the subject of the Krebs mod -The krebs website has a legal exclusion for any damage incurred in doing the mod. ( see my post above )The mod is not reversible.Richardkrebs has acknowledged in his post above that some SP10mk2's have... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Nandric, Not to forget we have holy water down here as well. Australia is not far behind but has yet to discover the veracity of the LOMC ! Lewm - Correction - in last post Duellunds = Vcaps(copper). Duellunds wont fit in the M7. | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Lewm/AudpulseMy standard Marantz 7 (1996 reissue) has enough gain for the Dynavector Karat Nova 13D, albeit with a little tube noise at louder levels. This Karat Nova 13D however is not standard. The original output was 0.12mv. When Dynavector reb... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Back to the B60 : Alternative VTA adjusterAn alternative solution to easy and fine VTA adjustment is to tap a machine screw into a block of aluminium or bronze that slides under the arm lift cradle. I had one made years ago with a fine thread : 1/... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Lewm - I had a spring cleanout of surplus gear about 18 months ago. At the time I had sitting in the cupboard unused - Garrard 301/401, couple of Rowland amps, Quicksilvers, Dynaco Mk3's, various preamps and a pile of other stuff. I was also sitti... |
