| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul is correct about our different priorities.....but there are also the differences in our systems and the way we hear?Whilst Raul and I agree on many things.......we definitely 'hear' differently when it comes to certain cartridges.I for instan... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Did I really call you a "little man from a little country" Nikola?Haha............I must have had a sense of humour in those days?! :-)Love you too......Lew?......not so much.....:-) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman,The No.3 stylus assembly transforms the TK-7Ea into the TK-7SU...... The Shibata stylus as opposed to the TK-7LCa which has the Line Contact.It's a very close call IMO between the two of them.....but ultimately I agree with you.Both of these... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? As my good friend Nikola announced........4 months ago I discovered my Dynavector XV-1s had suddenly 'lost' its stylus?How? When?......WHY?!What to do?So I sent him to the inimitable Axel Schurholz hoping for a simple re-tip?Back came the reply...... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Raul,I've also heard good comments on that JVC arm.The plinth for the QL-10 is also a cut above the average.....although the armboard does not look like it would suit a 12" arm?Time to go 'nude' methinks?!Regards | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Lew,What you are hearing when you 'tap' on the shelf.....is the effect of the structural stresses within the shelf.These stresses differ throughout any material depending on methods of support, locations of maximum and minimum bending moments, loc... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dover,This is one of the best bang for the buck upgrades for TT's of all persuasions in my view and well worth the time and effort. Amen.The audiophiles I really feel sorry for are those who live in modern high-rise apartment buildings like those ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Dgob,Unless you have the turntable and armpods located on a solid wall-hung shelf.....structure-borne feedback is likely to be a problem.Every suspended floor (even concrete ones) will suffer from this to some extent.If I had to locate my TT on... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? JVC QL-10Someone in the US got lucky today.Hopefully he might contribute here?This one looks like a beauty? | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Lewm,As you know, Henry, a shelf will be put into oscillation, by energy put into it. I know no such thing.And your common flaw of argument is precisely these types statement of false 'universal facts' without the provision of any scientific evide... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Hi Fleib, Many scientists believed the Higgs particle exists, before there was evidence to support that.True......but there were observable phenomena which could only be explained by the existence of 'something'?This lead to a 'thesis' to explain ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Nikola,Philosophy,science and mathematics share many admirable qualities.Lewm asks me if I can't 'imagine' two structures on a shelf reacting differently to each other?Yes......I can imagine such a thing.But I can also 'imagine' a man flying?... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul,I hear 'gravity' every time I release the tonearm lifter and every time I adjust the VTF.Bad example.......Regards | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Raul,Your examples are ones that are 'detectable' but perhaps not explainable?If you cannot detect something......how is that different to its non-existence?And just saying something exists but is 'undetectable'....is no proof of its existenc... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dover,Are you going to fully nude the Raven ?I am fortunate to have the Raven side by side with the 'nude' Victor in order to crystallise my thoughts on this matter.And you are correct........the 'shelf' or 'platform' upon which the turntable and ... |
