| Removable headshells 101 Nice one Nadric :-) I was sucked into the MM thread for a while, now I listen the carts I like and all but one of the MM's sit in my cupboard arguing over who might get played next. I have no idea how someone can make decisions on the full merits... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Interesting discussion. One thing for sure, do anything in an audio system and it will sound different - headshells are just another variable. I have 3 types of Ortofon from their mid range, top of the range and wooden one as well as two cheap hea... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Very true Syntax and I thank you for getting me back to this train of thought. I was getting OK but not brilliant results with the Phantom / dyna XV-1 in the last qtr of the LP using MintLP Baer version. I thought my Dyna XV-1 was almost worn out... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Curio I have both the MintLP for the Phantom and use the magnifying glass and the designers Graham geomtry sounds better IMO. I believe the MintLP tractor for the Phantom uses Baerwald geometry. Bob Graham does not. That would be the primray reaso... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I wonder what number I am. 007 would be good :-)I am interested in how the Uni tractor's " Phantom" specific jig works. The Graham alignment jig gives better results than the Mint when you use a magnifying glass. I am more excited to see if the Ex... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Are there any launching dates of Raul' s tonearm and Dertonearm's turntable? Do we see something in 2011? Now that would be something to see :-). Derts table using Raul's tonearm being aligned with Dert's universal protractor. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? HI Nadric, It does spindle diameter as well." It further incorporates 3 spindle adapters to accommodate and perfectcenter every spindle diameter from 7.05 to 7.20 spindle diameter without "play". WE should probably start posting in the Uni Protrac... | |
| Hovland HP 200 vs. Cary SLP 05 I listened to the HP-200 a while back and it sounded good. Please be aware that the volume graduations are a joke and IMO not good enough for any high end pre amp. It was easy for one setting to be too low and the next too high. The conrad johnson... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul One distinct advantage Derts protractor does have is that he has produced individual aliignment templates for tonearms like the Exclusive EA-03/10, FR 64-S, 66-S, Ortofon - all of which are based on the geometry specified by their designers, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm. It will be interesting if the mods approve my post re Dert's universal tractor. Expensive yes, looks impressive yes. At least he has put his money where his mouth is. Will be interesting on any user reviews (other than Syntax). Anyone buying... | |
| Ortofon A-90 Tonality Question The A90 sounds just like what is it is being fed. I owned the HRX for about 4 years and could never get rid of the slight leanness in the midrange, leading edge in the upper mids and lack of richness compared to my TNT V-HR. Your Koetsu has been ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Funny, I seem to be gravitating the other direction at the monment. Due to me borrowing a ESC rebuild of a Linn Troika, I had to move my main MC phono in order to play my Linn/ARO with the Troika. This was my ultimate table/cartridge combo in 1988... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halrco Sounds like the FR tonearms must give out pleasant sounding resonances and distortions like tubes that many people prefer to listen to music with, including yours truely :-) BTW, how do you listen to all your tables/tonearms with only two p... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi All MM phono stages with the ability to change capacitance are far and few between, so most are fixed. If you could choose one value, what would be as the best compromise for most MM carts out there. 100pf, 200pf or ??? a bit like 100ohm seems ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Why would you want to stop talking about FR tonearms if you have been asked. You have not been censored in the past and you clearly have an opinion based on using them. I am more than happy for you to discuss more about how full of resonance... |
