| Tonearm recommendation Hi Nandric,In a literal sense the arm does not follow the groove, or only as much as the cartridge body. I agree, it's the stylus that tracks/traces, the groove.Considering different aspects of record player functions, it's usually simpler to redu... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul, I think your patronizing attitude about others' knowledge on this and other subjects, is not appreciated, at least not by me. Mine is not a general recommendation. It is specific to Crazy Bill's two low compliance carts, and possibly a third... | |
| Cartridge Question Srafi, Paraneer has the right idea. Both the cueing height and arm height are adjustable. Remember to defeat the anti-skate while resetting tracking force. If these procedures are not in your manual, or unclear, get back to us. If you bought a us... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul,You're looking for subjective proof? How bizarre. Crazy Bill has 2 low compliance carts and you start talking about one that resonates at a very low frequency, a high compliance cart on a heavy arm. This is supposed to refute some unstated... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul,> "Mantain frequency resonance value, between tonearm/cartridge, in the range of 8- hz to 10 hz is something that many of us always are looking and is something all of us want it."The recommended range is 8 to 12 or 13Hz.> "Now, what ha... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul,"Dear fleib: why is the best team those cartridges with that 66?, maybe I'm missing something and always is time to learn so some " light " from you can help all of us."Sorry, I didn't see your post. Those carts are very low compliance. A low... | |
| Tonearm recommendation The arm and cart work as a team and for the Rosewood and 103r you probably can't better the FR66s. If you want a mono cart, I suspect the same goes for the Miyajima Zero. With a removable headshell it would be relatively easy to switch carts.I wa... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Interesting. There are quite a few things to figure out and it would be easier to incorporate them in the initial build, then to add-on later. If I want to bolt the motor unit to the structure I should embed threaded inserts and have space benea... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, Thanks for the tip, I figured as much. Does your new design change the attachment of the motor unit to the base? I was thinking of bolting it on and using compressed sorbothane washers.It will be awhile before I can get it together. Right... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, It seems to me that w/o a suspension, the advantage of a chassis or plinth coupling the parts, is lost. Instead of the chassis being a rowboat it's the base supporting the structures. If vibrations are affecting the motor unit they are more ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Lew, I think that would be near impossible and might be better without the coupling. Isolating the motor unit from the arm would eliminate vibrations shared one to the other. On the other hand, outside energy hitting the platter or plinth would be... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, I wasn't sure exactly what I am doing with the TT81. I can get an old Victor plinth relatively cheap, but I've decided to copy your design, with changes of course. Other things have come up and it hasn't been to the tech yet, but it runs ... | |
| It's Back - Technics SL-1200 MKGAE Aluminum top plate, magnesium arm w/VTA OTF, 4 layer cabinet, more inertial mass than an SP10 MK2, coreless motor.Out to beat a Scout jr. ?? Might beat a Classic w/SDS. | |
| Replacing stylus on a AT 150XML Check to see if you have the stylus seated properly. When you look from the side does the back edge line up with the back of the cart?When you look from the front or back, is there a space between the plastic and metal body, or is it snug?It soun... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,It was J Carr who mentioned the Ortofon MC3000 as being an outstanding air coil design. Is the 3000 better than the 2000?They are similar. BTW, is your 2000 MKI or 2? They're different. More so than the Victor X1 MKI and 2. The 3000 also has... |
