| Question on FR 66s As Thuchan has mentioned......the FR-66s is possibly the most 'universal' tonearm ever designed?The only modern arms which I have found to equal it (and the FR-64s) in this respect......are the Continuum Cobra and Copperhead.I have directly compar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Acman,It's really becoming harder and harder for me to actually choose a favourite cartridge these days.......as many of the ones I have, are so closely matched and appreciated?I agree with you that the AT150ANV is very very good......and is av... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Thank you Thuchan,Very well explained......Now......if only I can hear one myself?RegardsHenry | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Is it possible we are back to "people hear different"?I know many audiophiles who can't tolerate the sound of digital reproduction for a period of time.I have also read the writings of many reviewers and contributors to Audio Forums who are simil... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? is that an answer?Not really :-)You are saying that the EMT sounds better because it basically IS better?But for those of us who haven't heard one and are unlikely to........how does its presentation differ from say......your Micros or Continuum? | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Thuchan,Can you please describe the 'qualities' of the EMT 927 that you hear....and how they differ from other high-end designs?Is it purely an idler-drive distinctiveness or is there something else? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My take is that digital mis a lot more accurate, " natural "/non-colored and lower distortion alternative where we are nearer to the recording and nearer to the live event.My take is......that this statement is one man's opinion.And perhaps just a... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? I think you will find that Thuchan has listened to more of the modern designs (including owning one of the best...Continuum Criterion) as well as more of the 'Classic' designs.....than most people on this Forum.And that includes Reviewers. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Roscoeiii,It is the Signet TK-7LCa.Unfortunately.....as there were fewer than 999 samples ever produced and those that were are over thirty years old........it is almost impossible to find one with an original Signet Line Contact stylus in usable ... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I'm fortunate in having two turntables......the DD Victor TT-101 which keeps perfect speed via the Timeline regardless of record clamps, weight of record, type of cartridge and VTA......and even regardless of whether there are no arms tracking the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Unlike Lew.......I DID invest heavily in some of the top MC cartridges for 20 years.From the Symphonic Line (aka VdH Grasshopper) to the Koetsu Urishi 52nd Anniv to the Clearaudio Concerto to the Clearaudio Insider Gold to the Lyra Helikon to the ... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic The funny thing is nobody seems to get the point that Dev had a Raven or 3, went to an old Micro. Do the Raven owners club seriously think someone would upgrade to a turntable that sounds worse ?Yes Dover.....that is a 'funny thing'.There are many... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System 'Hank' is purely an American epithet for 'Henry'.Whilst I would have preferred it whilst growing up.......in Australia, it simply doesn't exist.Although we do have a certain eccentricity in knowing the famous actor Tom Henrys who appeared in Sleep... | |

| Chemistry question on aluminum There is little chance that any aluminium used in commercial audio products is in its 'raw' state.....ie...unprotected.At the very least, a chromate coating is the cheapest but anodising is generally the most economically available product and is ... |
