| tonearm/cartridge matching, mass/damping/tweaking Hi Mickey. Actually, I have a couple of MMTs. I'm selling one and keeping the one I have mounted on my old but trusty Oracle Paris.

| tonearm/cartridge matching, mass/damping/tweaking Glad things worked out so well, Mickey. May I trouble you with a side-issue question? There has been a good deal of debate about the tonearm geometry of the Jelco 750 arm (mostly on other forums). May I ask if you mounted the Jelco in the same hol... | |
| How can anyone afford this ? I think there's a chance you may have been brainwashed by audio publications, websites and forums into believing that the only systems worth having are those that cost in the megabucks range. This is simply not true. A modestly priced system can g... | |
| Troubles with Sound-Smith return communications? My interpretation of the Soundsmith's situation: Peter Ledermann is extraordinary in what he is able to do with carts and turntables. His work is absolutely first rate, and he is very fair in his business policies and practices. The problem is, he... | |
| 1st time buyer: Paradigm vs Revel vs B&W vs ? One reason not to buy used is that it sounds like you've got a local dealer who demonstrates nice gear and whose continued existence you might want to invest in. Just a thought.-Bob | |
| Tips for fine tuning a VPI Scoutmaster Very good info on VTA here (be sure to read Risch's followup post for correction of a critical typo):http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/vinyl/messages/1240.htmlThe Fremer video is good, especially since he demonstrates setup with a VPI arm. He shows... | |
| It,s Impossible On a related but also OT point: Why do people use the comma in place of the apostrophe? I'm not trying to be critical of Dmhafmer, because I've seen many people online do it and am curious. Is that the practice in other languages? A computer thing... | |
| suggestions on MM to MC upgrade Gxleetw,Like you, I listen almost exclusively to classical music. And while these observations may apply to nobody but me, I'll share them for what they're worth.The moving-coil carts I have (Shelter 501 MkII and Benz Ace S (low output) are breath... | |
| AT440mla, ortofon 2m red, or JICO SAS tip for mx97 That's great to hear. It's nice when things work out like that, isn't it? Happy listening.-Bob | |
| How to use magic eraser to clean stylus? Hold a piece of magic eraser underneath the stylus. Press it firmly against the stylus and scrub back and forth vigorously.Hehe...just wanted to make folks cringe a little.Disclosure: Do NOT do this. It's a joke (see "Hehe" above).-Bob :-) | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Dhunte21, you should be aware that there is a wide variety of opinions on the differences that cables make. Many maintain that they make little or no difference at all, as long as they are well made and not faulty in some way. Before dropping big ... | |
| My Venture into Hifi with Vandersteen Model 1 Someone with more exact knowledge, please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the only way to tell if they are 1B or 1C models is to look at the serial number. If there is a B or a C at the end, then they are either 1B or 1C models. I hope... |
