| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa Let me preface by saying that the Terminator replaced a SME V and it was not even close. Now the SME V is not a Schroeder, but for the Terminator to outperform a veteran arm is, to me, impressive. And I also plead guilty to not appreciating many o... | |
| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa The present setup with the Lino C and Lightspeed Passive Attenuator is on paper diametrically opposite to my previous rig, MFA Luminescence A2. Both Fremer and the TAS reviewer called the Lino on the warm side of neutral. However, for me coming fr... | |
| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa A Lino C 2.0 + ZYX Ultimate 100 ( impedance 4 ohm ) is my current setup. The adjustable gain is set at +12db which achieves approximately 75 db with the 4 ohm input. Rob at Channel D had cautioned that using the highest gain may cause distortion d... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @sgunther The brass manifold is chrome or nickel plated with a satin finish, so no worries there. | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @sgunther What is the size of your tank? I have changed from a Rena 250 ( ? ) pump to a more powerful Enhiem 400 due to surge tanks mods. 20 liter and 25 liter tanks filled with cotton / paper balls are placed in sequence to a 5 liter empty tank... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @sgunther There are plenty of testimonies from long time Terminator adopters here, especially the early threads. @spiritofmusic gives a succinct reply. I came to the fully updated Terminator from a SME V arm. And the improvements in vinyl playbac... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Andrey's email : music.from.vinyl@gmail.comwebsite : https://www.musicfromvinyl.shop/Be warned: shipment from Moscow could take up to 1.5 month or longer. XLR cables I ordered from Andrey took 3 months to get to East Asia. Pay extra and have him... | |
| Remember the year and first vynil you ever bought? 1975, Captain Fantastic And The Brown Dirt Cowboy. Aside from the high quality of pop music, the entire album package of posters and booklets of cartoons, lyrics, and with cover art from Alan Aldridge inspired by Bosch. It was one of the best exam... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update I’d like to start a different line of inquiry into the Trans Fi arm ——cartridge compatibility. For a few months now, I have been researching my next cartridge purchase. Right now a ZYX Ulitmate 100 is in service. And with all the help and input fr... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update @dgarretson Thanks for the Fabco info. I was a bit lost as to what to look for. Correct me if I’m wrong. It looks like a three-way valve. The turn knob is opposite to a open valve where a future Weiss gauge could be inserted, and the tubing passe... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Hi Terry, where are you putting the pressure gauge ? 0.5psi right before air enters the manifold?It seems a gauge is really required for me now. I’ll look into you recommendation. Regarding long run of horse acting as surge tank. I spoke to a fri... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update Here's Vic's lightening fast response:" Hi Albert Interesting with the surge tank cascade. I have had several people fallow this path & report back positive results. Here is my test for air-flow: Position the stylus above a stationary reco... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update So Ledoux, the benefits audibly of adding extra tanks outweighs the theoretical disadvantages of having to run a higher pressure/air flow The benefits are clearly audible, and not subtle. I just sent an email to Vic regarding increased pressur... | |
| Trans-Fi Terminator Tonearm: 2019 Update The pump that came with the Trans Fi was a Sera Air 275 R plus with output of 4.5 liters / min, or 270 liters / hr. I am assuming that 270 l / hr is max output. Until the smoothing tank was added, the vol dial on the Sera was at 50%, even with the... | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine The venerable J Gordon Holt reviewed the MC 2000 for Stereophile in 1985. The cartridge, if NOS, would be at least 20 years old. My interest with this super low output cartridge is due to a recent acquisition of a current mode phono stage, Channel... |
