| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Let's not become hysterical about Raul's honest evaluation of the Acutex 420.FWIW......I happen to agree with a much of Raul's statement.Raul doesn't like the Signet TK3, 5 or 7 series of cartridges and in these cases....I disagree with him :^)I i... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Atmasphere is quite correct about constant speed and soundstage.There are many audible benefits with a turntable which does maintain constant unwavering speed which are unrelated to pitch.With most turntables.......when the music becomes loud, and... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Oh....OK.You mean it was the Fat Bob in the video of the Timeline?I agree.......not a very impressive performance for a turntable?But it makes the point about 'stylus drag' very convincingly? | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Sorry Dover,I'm confused?Are you saying that turntable link by Hiho is the Fat Bob? | |
| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? Not only is it a very fine cartridge able to compete with the very top MCs IMHO........but its stylus assembly is compatible with many of the top Signet MM cartridges and with its Line Contact stylus profile, it can provide the sound required to s... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Dear Nicola,You disappoint me. I thought you were such a thorough compatriot who lets nothing escape him and now I discover that you did not even 'click' on the video Link I previously attached for the Timeline?In it, you would have seen.......abo... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Nice shot Hiho,Never seen that turntable before?Intrigued by the armpod cylinder. Seems like it may revolve for different length arms and has multi-way fixing options?For the record Raul.....the Victor TT-81 was $300.00 but I doubt that it was abl... | |
| RFI from steel TV bracket? Hi Ralph,The interconnects were running under the steel bracket.......not draped over it.The speaker leads are on the floor well away from the bracket (as they have always been).I just re-routed the right channel interconnect to along the floor aw... | |
| RFI from steel TV bracket? I unhooked the cables from the cable TV......no change.I then suspected the 2 metre long Cardas cable interconnects running on the shelf behind the TV and just under the steel brackets and plate.The right-hand interconnect runs right across this '... | |
| RFI from steel TV bracket? Last TV was plasma. No hum.This TV is LCD......hum.But it hums with the TV completely unplugged so I don't see how it can be the source? | |
| RFI from steel TV bracket? Yes I unplugged the TV and also tried it in different GPOs.....even a power conditioner. I even disconnected the 'sound-out' of the TV from the preamp. Hum still there.Interesting thing is that the hum is from the amps and not the preamp as when I... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Interesting Link Professor, on bearing friction.It shows Teres.......believing in 'stylus drag' before he could accurately prove it exists via the Timeline?Many pertinent comments there possibly requiring amendments to views held by some only 2 ye... | |
| Turntable speed accuracy Now D and Syntax,That photo just needs more explaining?Are those speakers available at Audio Connection? :^) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Griffithds,That article was like a thunderbolt to me when I read it.Glad you also appreciated it?Thanks Fleib for the compliment. Your thoughts on cartridges, together with David's.......have been invaluable to me.Dear Lew,Well said. I believe Rau... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi David,Here is the link to the full Peter Moncreif articleHEREI hope you appreciate it as much as I do?On the question of DD turntables.......I don't believe they are all created equal and are thus a panacea for the problems of 'stylus drag'?As ... |
