| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Interesting comments on changing the Effective Length input on the arm's set-up geometry?Those with a Fidelity Research FR-64s tonearm will know that the manufacturer's recommended spindle to pivot distance is 230mm.This is precisely the figure I ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Regards Raul,As I mentioned previously, I'm very much in the 'no rubber washers school' when it comes to removable headshells.That presumes of course that the headshell is structurally well designed and has a 'machined' surface at the mating face ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I still believe the key to the improvement was and this is gut feel only 75% isolated armboard and 25% getting the sp10 out of its plinth. Isolating and mass loading the armboard I feel was key. I have the same gut feel.The isolated and heavy arm... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Dgob,Wonderful post and illuminating descriptions.For newcomers to this thread and the sceptics out there, it would be good perhaps for you re-cap on what plinth you had used with the SP10Mk2 prior to 'nuding' it? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor,A swing at the ball??........I'd say you damn well hit it outta da ballpark? And we don't even follow baseball down here. In cricket jargon.....I'd say you hit for six!But you say add a touch more impedence for the 7SU?.......no can... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? There was a thread recently that asked "What is your favourite cartridge?"Amongst the 'usual suspects' of Ortofon A90, ZYX UNIverse, Koetsus etc Audiofeil proclaimed the Signet TK-7Su his favourite.This interested me as my favourite has recently b... | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Daniel,Interesting?How about unipivots?Do they like low compliance cartridges in your opinion?CheersHenry | |
| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment Dear Daniel,Interesting comments on arms with knife-edge bearings?The SAEC arms with double knife-edge bearings enjoy quite an enviable reputation amongst the 'vintage' fraternity with Thuchan even ranking the 12" versions competitive with the FR ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,It's good to read that we both hear the same things again :-)The sound level I meant was a general 90dB with peaks of 95dB. Soft passages were down at 85dB.Dgob, have not heard the albums you mention but will keep my eyes open.....thanks... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,I don't think you would have the albums which best illustrate the distortions I hear with the rubber gasket.The most demanding and realistic concert grand piano music I have ever heard recorded is the Liszt Sonata h-Moll in B Minor by Da... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel,I know better than to argue with your ears.....or Raul's?So I accept your conclusions without question :-)CheersHenry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul and Professor,I tried rubber gaskets on 3 of my arms with 3 different cartridges.Little difference was found on most 'easy-listening' music but never did the rubber 'add' anything of value to my enjoyment.However on the most demanding ma... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? replacement gaskets which (AFAIR) were a three-layer laminate of lead-copper-lead.Oh how I wish these were still available?The problem with rubber gaskets is that rubber, of course, allows movement....or as Raul calls it....."damping"????But 'move... | |
