| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul,Of course Dlaloum and others have contributed greatly on this Thread, to our discussion and knowledge about MM cartridges....and cartridges in general.But let's face it....this is a rather esoteric Thread (albeit the largest in A'Gon his... | |
| The best of the DACs When it comes to audio.....I don't let DACs, transports or computers enter my listening room.I am a strictly analogue (vinyl) buffoon.But I just need to say that Mezmo's post is one of the most erudite, educated and convincing statement.....it has... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nikola,My mother told me not to trust Serbs who attempt flattery?So I have a dilemma.......she told me to trust only the Aussies and the Dutch?! :-)RegardsHenry | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm As I do the tests with the 1350Hz Test Tone.....I can graphically see the frequency on the iPad App moving backwards and forwards equally about the 'mean' frequency.......so that the average mean frequency comes in very nicely on the Data......but... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I am beginning to suspect the accuracy of the Feickert Platter Speed App and/or Adjust 7" Test Record?As I mentioned previously......every time one does a test on the same turntable with the same arm and cartridge....slightly different results app... | |
| Vandersteen 2WQ The issue with the 2Wq sub is the first order low pass filter. It effectively forces one to use them in pairs and place them close to the main speakers. I think it's a High Pass Filter allowing everything above 80Hz to pass straight through to the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Who is Phillip Holmes?Are you as sick and tired as I am, of reading the same shallow, uninformed drivel that masquerade as 'Reviews' by the majority of audio writers today?I was browsing through Dagogo last night...and stumbled upon a reviewer I'd... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Lespier,Your results for the tt101 are interesting but more telling (as you have multiple arms) would be to place the smaller feickert test disc on top of a (heavily modulated?) 12" lp and play the lp with one arm and the test disc with another. T... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Ha ha,Never seen or heard of that idler before?In fact......didn't know that Fidelity Research made ANY turntables? | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dover,Techdas looks interesting........if not 'Classic' material?..although I was surprised to see no comments on its 'sound' from anyone at CES?Can't wait for Fremer's review coming shortly and I can see Thuchan having one if it's positive?I simp... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm One thing all this testing has shown IMHO......is that the performance of belt-drive turntables in general.....and the Raven AC in particular.....can be surprisingly good?Just study all the test data in comparison to the TT-101 (which is demonstra... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richard,I did try a Micro Seiki Cu180 copper platter mat as a replacement to the original rubber mat on the Victor TT-101 DD deck.....and heard a definite improvement.The trouble was not audibly discernible with the servo correction mechanism....a... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Richard/Lew,I have added no mass to either the Victor or the Raven turntables.In fact....I am playing the TT-101 WITHOUT the standard rubber mat. A 1mm thick sheet of pigskin being the only separation between vinyl and aluminium platter.With the R... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dear Tony,Thanks for all your feedback and interest.Surprisingly.......Ketchup and Richardkrebs who requested the testing I provided due to their keen interest.......have gone silent? | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Hi Tony,My 'dedication' is made somewhat easier by the free Feikert App and Test disc you recommended.The 'Test Procedure' is quite easy and quick to perform.A few questions you might help me with:-1. The Mean Frequency on the TT-101 seems to be M... |
