| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? well he recommended the 20SLa but NO the TK7 or the 5.Well that's settled then!Out with those vile Signets.Raul.........while you're at it, could you please post all this 'expert's' other recommendations so that we may know which cartridges to buy... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak I suggest that you remove your outer rim weight and actually listen to some music.Perhaps you might hear something?If not......please carry on. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,As we have all concluded long ago........there is no 'right' or 'wrong' in audio?It's just interesting that a great many lovers of, and converts to, your MM convictions, are hearing quite radically different qualities to the same cartrid... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak When you try it in every table and find it is universally bad then may be you can talk. As this is an impossible task for any component in audio, you are effectively canceling all comments henceforth.Sounds slightly 'idiotic' to me? | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Syntax and Rccc are probably right about some vacuum tables. They seem to be a different kettle of fish.......I've heard the Basis Debut Gold and the Continuum Caliburn which seem to suffer no ill effects?I would really like to comprehend a scient... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak You're right Chris.Three weeks of un-fulfillment without being able to pinpoint a reason is frustrating.The strange phenomenon is that the 'sins of omission' are not instantly audible when one inserts the outer ring into the system?The return of t... | |
| A $300-$400 turntable tweak Like a vampire sucking the blood from a human victim, the outer rim weight sucks the life and soul from the vinyl.It seems like such a logical thing to do.........flatten and couple the record to the platter......that it is bewildering to me that ... | |
| Micro Max 282 vs. Exclusive EA-10 What's with these Picasso faces all of a sudden? :^)The eyes and mouth in 'full frontal' with the nose in 'elevation'?Or is that the nose that has been flattened sideways by all the punches? :-)) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I also didn't expect you to like the Signet TK-7SU as you liked so much the AT-20SS and the Signet TK-10ML.Both these cartridges sounded thin and rather flat to me with a recessed midrange (which for me is a killer in itself) and a rathe... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Daniel and John,I accept that the majority of tonearms in use today are 'fixed' to their turntables and cannot be adjusted.The accuracy of the positioning of these tonearms vis-a-vis the spindle to pivot distance is often not the greatest and... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment It does beg the question, though, of why one would need to know the mounting distance, as the Dennesen principle allows correct alignment with any existing and unknown mounting distance. If the distance has been set wrongly for a particular arm, ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? there is always not only one solution but manyI think Raul, that even you would have to agree with Thuchan here?At least in the world of audio? | |
| A warning to all about HUGE Subwoofers Enough so that I know that it can crack concrete and after playing with it a while i genuinely have realized this has the potential if unleashed to destroy a house.And another unsubstantiated 'urban myth' gets disseminated on the Internet. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Eckart,Welcome to 'The Dark Side' :-)The Empire 4000D/III is a fine cartridge with many likable traits IMHO.There are also many other vintage MMs out there which bring other strengths to the table (pun intended).There is a thought, sometimes ... | |
| FR-7F and overhang All you can do is ensure that the spindle to pivot distance of your arm is correct. Overhang should then be correct.With the Fidelity Research arms you will have no problems as the cartridge was really designed with these arms in mind. Just ensure... |
