| Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s Before we know it you will have your tonearm in New Zealand and your tt in Perth. Less tracking error that way :-) | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Chris,I agree with your perceptions and also am convinced that your isolated tonearm base goes a long way to explaining some of the improvement.An explanation for that reasoning is contained in a new thread i have posted "A Copernican view of... | |
| Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s I'm in total disagreement with the thought that the tonearm should be attached in any way to the 'turntable' or plinth.In fact, I disagree that the the 'turntable' itself is the most important part of the record playing hierachy :-)Blasphemy?Pleas... | |
| Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s Tsk tsk Lewm.I believe it was Raul who started this whole Project (at least for me), by stating that his Technics SP10 Mk2 or Mk3 sounded better 'nude' than in a plinth?So he has heard it both ways.......and you haven't? :-)But perhaps you will sa... | |
| Apocalypse Now?—Technics sp10 problem s Dear Banquo and Ct0517,Great to see you guys trying out the 'Nude Turntable' principle on the Technics SP 10 MkII. It seems your experiences support Raul's proposition that the 'Nude' SP10 may be better than or at least equal to, a plinthed one?Ph... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Shane,4 of the 6 arms have balanced XLR terminations so I don't have to worry about connecting a bunch of grounding wires.I simply have all the plugs ( with colour-coded electrical tape distinguishing the various arms), lying beside or behind t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I have 2 turntables of different ‘persuasions’, 8 tonearms (counting the Hadcock GH228) and 18 cartridges and have been listening to high-end vinyl for 35 years.If I understand correctly, Raul is proposing that I can’t detect ‘distortions’ or ‘res... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Lew,The colour 'confused' becomes you. It is also the colour that suits me when it comes to cartridge/tonearm matching.As you rightly point out, the Empire D4000/III has very high compliance (30x10-6 dyne) yet sounds superb in the FR-66s........ | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nice informative posting Timeltel.As for choice of MM cartridges over LOMC being a form of "tone control"?..... Aren't all our individual choices in audio a form of "tone control" or at least a striving for a combination producing a synergy which ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Hi Lew,I'm surprised this 'Nude Turntable Project' has escaped your eagle eye for so long?As I've said during the postings, I don't presume to extend any of my findings to idler or rim- drive decks as the mechanics of those are quite different to ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Chris,It's interesting to hear your conclusions on the 'nude' Technice SP10Mk2.It seems to indicate, as Raul has been urging, that people should at least try things before arriving at conclusions....especially if trying is relatively easy?I w... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The Empire 4000D/III coloured?Yes.......just as coloured as that Boiullabaise from the Old Port in Marseille whose aroma and taste still remains viscerally 40 years later.Just as cloured as the blues, pinks and whites of the cliff-hugging structur... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? if listening blind, lots of people would say it is an MC cart."Dear T_bone..........not in my books. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Frogmen, what arm are you using for the 4000D/III? And what turntable?Unlike Mab33, I don't believe the Empire needs much of a positive VTA?I run it almost parallel with beautiful balance throughout the range.I track it at 1 gm although it can pro... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Jonathan,I said "refreshing".....not 'strange' :-)And thank you for your contribution. Well said.RegardsHenry |
