| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola,Not hearing any 'fatness' with the FR-7f(mod) in the FR-66s on the Raven......however, with my UNIverse in the FR-64s on the TT-101.....I am currently experiencing what seems like another half octave as well as a widened soundstage.The... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Oh yes In_shore,My MA-505s is my 'go-to' tonearm for any new MM cartridge I obtain......because it's so easy to find the correct VTF, and VTA which I can then transfer for this cartridge in all the other arms.And just like you......I also have onl... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola,Yes, Lew eschewed the 2mm difference in diameter as a negligible concern....and in truth...so did you?But the smaller diameter of the knurled plastic knob was only one of the differences I listed to assist anyone in their discovery....... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I never claimed that the Fidelity Research B-60 Base was the best VTA adjustment device I have experienced?That accolade must go to the Micro Seiki MA-505 device which uses an ingenious cam device which one operates by sliding a horizontal lever i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lewm, * On the original top circular plate there are no fixing screws at all. On the copies....with the knob at 6 o'clock.....there is a fixing screw at 3 o'clock (countersunk grubscrew on the good copies and surface mounted Phillips on the poor).... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The B-60 VTA Base is an interesting story.Fidelity Research originally made these for their big 12" arms like the FR-66s whilst the smaller FR-64s usually relied on manually loosening grub screws to lift or drop the arm.I don't know how many B-60 ... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? And thankfully, a beautiful looking arm at last.Makes the Kuzma 4 point appear as gross and ungainly as Quazimodo's goitre.Pity Frank didn't include a detachable universal headshell?I would have seriously considered this.....although if it has the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola,It's good to see you enjoy the FR-7 cartridge in the FR-64s arm.A match made in heaven IMHO.Dover....I also have the FR-64s with 'SILVER INSIDE LEADS' and the B-60 VTA Tower.I had one with copper wiring prior to this one......but I can... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Thuchan is right about neither table being a 'plug & play'.With the Raven in particular........I have found that its sound can change depending on how it is supported?If it sits on a stand located on a suspended wood floor.......it can be susc... | |
| Micro Seiki, or TW AC-1 Every single resonance/vibrations of any type pass through that arm board/footers.Raul has a point.....only if there is a direct connection between the 'footers' and the armboard support base?It is not clearly evident to me.....that there actually... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ooohhh Nikola,You are in for a treat.On your beautiful FR-64s......I await your verdict with excitement and apprehension?Regards | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear John and Dover,I think almost everyone who heard the original CLS over 20 years ago were similarly stunned?I remember listening to them in the Dealer's showroom on a Saturday afternoon with my friend Richard.On the following Monday morning he... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I had my FR-7f originally re-tipped to original specs through Dertonarm's Japanese Master in Tokyo.So I heard it with brand new conical stylus.When this new diamond spontaneously sheared one day.......I sent it to Axel.As far as I know.....I have ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I didn't know the early CLSs were built in Australia?How did that come about? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Lew,If you really want to hear the very best of what LOMCs can deliver....I have two suggestions.Firstly....the ZYX UNIverse which is .24mV and quite unfussy about arms (I used it with success on 6 arms from a Hadcock GH228 to the Copperhead and F... |
