| Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp @raynhis65gto This is eye-opening! I have some noise coming from mine, so I'm definitely going to do a thorough cleaning of the sockets, and take a look at the exposed contacts beneath the base plate as well. I'll add that part of my noise iss... | |
| Fosgate Signature Phono Preamp @ffedde , how did it turn out?? | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Just wanted to update this thread. Mike at Dynavector was VERY helpful regarding this issue. He worked with me to get a replacement Dynavector phono preamp into the system, and there have been on issues since.After such a great service response fr... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? @chakster , I’m sorry if you interpreted my experience as a request for others to praise my re-tipper. I think everyone should form their own opinion, as I have done. Just to clear up any confusion readers may have from Chakster, I am not requesti... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? From my correspondence with Joseph:" I saw your question on Audiogon. Yes, it is possible to remove the Namiki Micro Ridge diamond from the square hole on the end of the 17D3 cantilever and fit a new one. I have done so, myself, so I know it is p... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? @lewm the re-tipping I had done did not include a cantilever replacement, just the stylus. And you are correct that the stylus he attached is not the exact same as the micro-ridge originally used. I'm sure the character has changed somewhat from t... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? @chakster , I don’t performing any re-tipping services, so I’m sorry I can’t answer your question about how.My only experience with re-tipping Karat cartridges was through Joseph on my 17D, so you’re right I can’t guarantee that he can also do a 1... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? @chakster , np. Just wanted to make sure you knew they had expired. It's why I post up links to Google Drive, so they can be accessed months/years later. | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? I just wanted to chime in, as a commenter in one of the relevant discussions linked to above. I had my Dynavector 17D (original) re-tipped by Joseph Long, and it sounds incredible.If you're near KY and would like to see the craftsmanship in person... | |
| Dynavector Karat 17D3: retip for $500 or get something new? @chakster , none of the links to your images are working | |
| Anyone hear of the Black Cable Tie tweak? I have a feeling Geoff is experimenting not with the technical side of sound reproduction, but the perception side. “Listening” to music, at its highest level, is primarily a function of two things: 1. The pressurized waves of air in the room2. Th... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? And on that note, anyone near enough to Louisville who would like to hear this re-tipped cartridge, feel free to contact me! Chakster included! | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Also, may I remind everyone, this is a HOBBY. It’s just a fun thing to do, a cool thing to enjoy. There’s really no reason to be negative about this work without having heard the results, especially since it’s all about the music, am I right? | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? I understand your concerns.I am trusting my ears on this one, and it sounds incredible! I doubt the added mass of the glue would change the sound. This went from a broken cartridge to an absolutely beautiful sounding one, and I have no regrets. Th... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? @lewm I don't follow. My name is Dusty Segretto, and I have a pretty easy internet trail to follow if you'd like to know more about me, and who I am. Also, feel free to message me directly if you have any concerns about my identity. (What an odd t... |
