| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster,Right you are. I remember Raul declaring the MF2500 the best MM/MI cart in the universe, and any other universe for that matter. Page 207:**Dear friends: No doubt, the JVC X-1MK1 is not anymore the second best MM/MI but the third best.I... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro,One thing I've been meaning to ask you, do you know why your 101 sounds better without the metal cage around the motor unit?I don't have a plinth or stand alone design for my 81 yet so I can't try it, but I also can't come up with a reason ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Thanks guys, maybe it's enough to convince him, although I'm reluctant to take responsibility. I think he said he has a Grace unipivot, it should be good enough for great results. Quite an impressive list of carts replaced by ART9. You have me dro... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Thanks Oregonpapa, That doesn't help for a 16g arm though. I think Pani said a SME M2-12. Not sure of the mass, but that would be a bit closer.Regards, | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I still don't have an ART9, although I plan to get one. I have a question for ART9 owners. It has to do with compliance which is listed as 18cu @ 100Hz.On what arms are you using this cart?I'm asking for someone on another forum looking in the $1K... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Raul,**Richar obviously don't take the " road " posted here:" People don't know what it means anyway. Imagine a turntable going from 70dB S/N to 90dB !! You could pretend to rewrite the laws of physics with some doubletalk ..... "that IMHO is... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dover,Seems I made a mistake. I gave you an opening to spout further, but I think you would have found the opportunity anyway. The problem is, I don't believe you, about the SQ of your table and how it relates to speed stability. It's not that I ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dover,You're way out of line posting your belt drive BS on this thread. It doesn't matter how good it supposedly is, it's inappropriate.Like your bit about absolute speed and the rotation of the earth, it doesn't make sense. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Richardkrebs,Why don't you just make stuff up like most manufacturers? People don't know what it means anyway. Imagine a turntable going from 70dB S/N to 90dB !! You could pretend to rewrite the laws of physics with some doubletalk about externa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griff,Regarding Jico and SAS - I'm not sure about the development of the original SAS stylus and its application, but a Shure replacement stylus might have been it. The SAS tip looks identical to a microridge or microline. I believe tip dimensions... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game If we're talking microgroove - reissues, mid '50s or later (my assumption), then a mono record is no different in that respect than a stereo LP. You're making this more mysterious than it is. I've given you this Ortofon link before:http://ortofo... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Lew,I plainly said the reviewer is a dumb ass, whoever that might have been. I'm going by what you said, not having read the review myself. The Zero will damage a stereo groove or they wouldn't have put that caveat on their site. The cart does ha... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Johnnyb,No argument. The presentation is definitely better. It's as if you're hearing the recording as it was meant to be heard. Like me, only more so, Lew has a number of acoustic jazz discs in mono. My comments are made with that in mind. Given ... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Lew,Accidents happen. Go to Miyajima site and read - The cartridge of the vertical axis concentration method plays only a monaural LP. It cannot play a stereo LP with this cartridge.When it played a stereo LP with this cartridge, a sound is that a... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Plinko,How do I know? Your mean frequency is exactly 3150Hz. The VPI is 3154.5. I forget what the Victor is, but I remember it's not 3150. Have you seen the Victor with the Timeline? It spins at exactly 33 1/3 RPM with any load. How do we expl... |
