| Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment I think Syntax has taken shots of Dertonarm's first production unit.The first run won't ship till March and my one will be in the first shipment.I think it looks beautiful and knowing Daniel, I'm sure it will also work as promised.If it does......... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You don't get 23 templates.......you can choose 4 out of 23 (or probably 30 by now).Anyhow.......I think it looks promising and I've put my order in for the first production run.I'll let you know how it compares to the Mint when I receive it.In an... | |
| Pre Amp with top class phono stage? The Halcro DM10 preamp has a superb phono-stage with fully adjustable loadings and capacitance values for MM/MI cartridges as well as handling the very lowest output MC cartridges.Expensive and hard to find but that wasn't your question?Oh.....and... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Professor,Your 'ramblings' are greatly anticipated as there are generally incisive and valuable clues and hints contained therein.As to trying the 155LC stylus......?What with the Empires, the Technics, the FR-6SE and the 3 Signets vying for ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric,I well remember the days of the Supex and you are right......it heralded the 'end' of the MM and the invasion of the MC.I clearly recall at that time, visiting the home of the famous Garrott Brothers where they demonstrated, via remov... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Every once in a while a piece of equipment will be inserted into your system that will cause a paradigm shift in your point of referenceOr so the parable goes?……….Over the past year, I have had so many of these that I’m becoming groggy.From a ret... | |
| EMT 927 vs. Micro Seiki 5000 or 8000 - different? Dear Thuchan,You are a very lucky man and as Soundlistening correctly states.....there are very few on this earth who are ever in a position to hear just one of those famed vintage turntables in your possession?......let alone compare them side by... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Sorry Nandric,My bad. Didn't read carefully enough.Your set-up should sound wonderful I imagine. Pity you have no System pics?Cheers | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Nandric,Do you know the weight of that particular armpod and what do have it sitting on.....eg spikes or other? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob,As Lew and Ralph intimate, I believe both turntable and arm pods should be 'coupled' in the same way ie all spikes.I don't believe you should have spikes on the arm pods and pliable footers on the turntable OR vice versa.Assuming you are conf... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Timeltel/Raul, The first group of cartridges, you find pleasing, the other you relegate to cartridge perdition. Very interesting indeed.........? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul,Following on from the Professor's restrained repost to your Signet analyses, I find that you prefer the Signet TK10ML to the TK5/155LC?Here is my reaction to the TK10ML The TK5ea displays most of the typical Signet traits I hear with the TK3... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Received my FR-5 cartridge from Japan yesterday and have been listening to it all day in the Orsonic headshell on the FR-64s tonearm with the Victor TT-81.Whilst its sound is similar to the FR-6SE, to me it is hardly a 'refinement'?What the FR-6SE... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, please test the FR at continuous 95db SPL at seat position with around peaks on the 102db for at least 20-30 minutes and see what " happen "Can't do this Raul and stay healthy. My wife would put her favourite cleaver to good use.I liste... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System I use just 3 tiptoes Chris.Rigid de-coupling like spikes are far easier to ensure levelling with 3. With 4 you'd probably find that only 3 are making solid contact.With isolators that use rubber or other 'giving' substances, 4 can often make conta... |
