| How are you playing your precious MONO Vinyl? AI claims that the correct stylus for these pressings is 0.7. Oh, brother. AI is a real FU mess. It gets many things wrong. It's worth using for research; however, "don't trust and verify first" is key to claiming as fact anything it has to say... | |
| fozgometer v2 @lewm Actually, the Foz works really pretty well, iff you make sure the test record sits perfectly flat. I had Acoustic Sounds send me a replacement of their test record – used for the Foz – that was dish warped, but I also use both a 750 gr reco... | |
| fozgometer v2 Over the years I've used mine often enough. Every time I change a tonearm or change a cartridge. I have the original (not a V2) I bought as an open-box special for $200 back in 2012. I've gotten good use out of it since. Maybe there's a local de... | |
| Was anyone else caught out by this? TechDAS is now taking orders for tonearm bases to mount this bad boy on an Air Force turntable. | |
| Help with cartridge choice for Linn LP-12, Ittok turntable @daveyf Yes, I’m aware of how the Lyra suspension works. That’s a matter of getting the VTF right, but I set to within the suggested range and fine tune by ear. I track both my SL and Mono at 1.65 gr. I still contend setting up a Lyra is no more... | |
| Help with cartridge choice for Linn LP-12, Ittok turntable @daveyf Correct VTF and Azimuth are concerns for any cartridge. That's not something unique to Lyra. I give my Dynavector just as much attention for setup as my Lyras. I use a Fozgometer for azimuth adjustment, but that doesn't work for my mono ca... | |
| Help with cartridge choice for Linn LP-12, Ittok turntable @daveyf I’m curious. Why is a Lyra Delos any more critical to setup compared to other cartridges of that caliber? And what tools does that need compared to others? It seems to me if one can properly setup a cartridge of that caliber otherwise, the... | |
| Kirmuss users, what do you find? Told her about the gunk built up on the needle when using the Kirmuss fluid. She said, "there's too much Propylene Glycol in your surfactant solution then". LOL. Kirmuss got busted! He never would tell anyone what's he's a "doctor" of. Apparen... | |
| Kirmuss users, what do you find? @lubachl whether it is the Kirmuss unit or whatever, there is no way the unit can add gunk to your record. Water and alcohol cannot physically deposit anything on your record. I am not sure what is going on with the cleaning process in your c... | |
| Kirmuss users, what do you find? I have a Kirmuss machine and also had the problem with globs of junk on the stylus when I followed his procedure to the letter (including studying his Youtube video). I decided the whole Dr. Kirmuss thing is B.S. and overly cumbersome. Now I use ... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation @syd7865 Your system is rather different from mine, so we may have different experience with the Innovation and Master Innovation. I don't care for the sound of CA cartridges. I had Talisman V2 originally with my Ovation, and went to Concerto V2. ... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation @pindac I'm going to step away from this debate about it. I'm not trying to save money, and what you are trying to sell isn't what I am upgrading anyway. | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation @pindac It seems you’re assuming the upgrade from an Innovation to a Master Innovation is just about adding two more plinths. That’s part of it, but not what the upgrade really brings to the table. The significant part of it is the use of two plat... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation @pindac Are you suggesting I fashion and add more Panzerholz plinths to a Master Innovation, which already has four, each with impregnated steel balls to add mass and lower resonance? What footer/separators are you talking about? I'm sorry, you're... | |
| Clearaudio Innovation [Wood] vs Master Innovation @pindac I don't think I understand the point of your post. Are you suggesting a modification of an Innovation turntable, or adding more plinths, or creating a base to put the table on, or what? |
