| LONDON Decca, Tzar DST and similar cartridges I have the London Decca Referencehttp://i.imgur.com/KNDkQoV.jpgand Jonathan Valin fairly nailed it in his review late 2008http://www.theabsolutesound.com/articles/london-reference-phono-cartridge/I don’t hold with all the current theories and folk... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Are you referring to the ground added to the pcb board or the external cage connection point? The ground wire attached to the PCB did nothing to mitigate the RFI/EMI interference.With the Faraday Shield (metal shroud) in place and the ground wire ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System 2 1/2 years since the last contribution and yet nearly 1.3 million views...😎In the time since my first enthusiastic proclamation, I realise I may have been a little cavalier in my concentration on the arm-pods at the expense of the platter/motor i... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Totem,AFAIK....Victor made black and brown pigskin mats.Mine is jet black...🤓 | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Peter,Victor made a special pigskin mat for their Laboritory Series DD decks like the TT-101 http://imgur.com/UnMbyr3 I was lucky to find one 3 or 4 years ago but they are really scarce.The closest sounding alternative I have found is the thin... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My experiences mirror those of Fleib and Griffithds.I have two Victor Z1 and one X1/IIE bodies and stylihttp://i.imgur.com/kdZ6QOZ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/W0EFgRB.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/DOtiqTR.jpgI have the original elliptical stylus and cantilever ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, in those times I found out in Europe the last and only one in the world NOS MK2 stylus Perhaps mine is the illegitimate 'forgotten' one from Japan?http://i.imgur.com/DOtiqTR.jpgFrom where incidentally.....they were all made and sold initially 😜 | |
| New format, dislike..... So how do you post photos now?It used to be cumbersome before but now it seems to be missing entirely.Most other 'modern' Forums have easy ways to add photos from your computer so that they appear within the Post as you view it.A real missed oppor... | |
| MRA : Myth or Menace? I agree with you Moonglum.Always clean second hand discs......rarely clean new ones.I also want to thank Mofimadness. Like Davt I too thought MRA was Martians Randomly Attacking and was about to vote for 'Menace'.... | |
| What vintage speaker might you use today I've heard many speakers over the forty years I've been listening, but none has recreated the magic delivered by the original Martin Logan CLS electrostatics driven by valve electronics. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Sorry Dover,I did mis-read your Post. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Whilst we are talking up the benefits of SOME vintage DD decks in relation to speed consistency and low wow and flutter.....it is not to say that surprisingly good results can't be obtained from certain belt-drive turntables.Here is the Frequency ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? A good point guys...I recall on another Forum where someone used the Feikert Speed App to measure a CD player (a theoretically perfect 3150Hz sine wave) yet it produced a frequency response chart very much the same as the TT-101 albeit with slight... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dover has comprehension problems (as well as others) with both my statements and those of Markus who designed the Feickert software.The spikes in the generated sinewave are NOT "speed corrections generated by turntable error correction".They are s... | |
