| Removable headshells 101 Pryso,The forces transferred into the headshell can be large on a microscopic level 'if' they allowed to be magnified by poor structural design and/or rigidity.If you examine the design o the Orsonic headshell you will see that the bulk of the alu... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Greetings Professor,Glad that you find the Yamamoto Ebony satisfactory :^)Do you think the hard-wired headshell leads limit your performance options?If I did not know you better......I would say that I detect a slight cynicism in your comments on ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? You're right Hiho about the flimsy bottom cover to both the TT-81 and TT-101 and when I tried to support the TT on the three spikes positioned inboard of the edges.......the table was able to be rocked by grabbing the outer edges and twisting.Howe... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Couldn't't sleep last night Hal? :)Heh heh :^) Wow, looks like an electronic pizza with the works....:-)A good description Rockitman!Thanks for all the responses.Lew.....does the SP10MkIII look as complex inside as the TT-101?What occurred to me ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Daniel,I think he covered that aspect of speed control pretty thoroughly?You are simply saying.........'he's wrong, I'm right'?You offer no evidence nor counter any of his arguments whatsoever.This is surely not a way to convince :^)CheersHenry | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Dgob,I think you re-read the bit about 'speed consistency' and wow and flutter figures.Peter Moncreif agrees with you that these 'specifications' are easily attained but generally useless as they are 'averaged'?It is very easy to obtain 'averag... | |
| Removable headshells 101 Hi David,I would hesitate before jumping in on an Orsonic headshell.Sure.....they look sexy but on complex demanding material, it was distorting a treat.I swear I could actually see the shell convulsing whilst it struggled against the cartridge's ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Whilst researching the Rockport Sirius III I came across this treatise written by Peter Moncreif of the International Audio Review which for me, is the best description of the 'job' (and difficulties thereof) of the turntable I have ever read.BELT... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? TT-101Here is an image of the innards of a TT-101INNARDSand here is one of the TT-81TT-81As you can see.....the TT-101 is considerable more complex.Imagine trying to work on that if something goes wrong? :-)Here is a posting from a couple of years... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... I also second Daniel's appreciation of the Professor's contributions to this thread.I have found his encyclopedic mind....and faultless ears.....to be a guiding light for me in this honorable quest for analogue perfection :^)His recommendation of ... | |
| Cartridge Loading and Compliance Laws Jeremy,I think what Fleib is saying is to read what others post here as workable combinations.This will save you the task of testing dozens of cartridges yourself.What Fleib is also saying (and I agree wholeheartedly).....is that there is enough d... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Jeremy, Anyone care to recommend MM and MI cartridges which have great dynamics/attack (like a MC) with detail and tonality to boot? From what I gather, this is something only really good MC do well but thought there might be exceptions.It is not ... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Hi Fleib,The Decca London is the only cartridge on my list which have neither owned nor heard.......and it's position at the top is certainly not meant to indicate any ranking.The London had already achieved near legendary status in the late 70s w... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... Dear D,Do you mean.......be 'faithful' to a cartridge for the rest of our lives to the exclusion of all others?This was not a condition of the great MC cartridges and I don't think it's in the nature of a true audiophile to be 'monogamous'?Let me ... | |
| The greatest MM and MI cartridges .... To accompany my list.....I think I need to describe the state of high-end audio in Britain and Australia in the late 70s and early 80s.Here in Australia, Britain was the 'heart' of the 'renaissance' in high-end audio.The States were considered 'cr... |
