| Low internal resistance mc phono cartridges Haniwa is the one I was trying to remember. Less than one ohm. Thanks, V. | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets Apparently you did not read the posts that describe double-sleeve jackets where you can put the album cover in one slot and the LP in its inner sleeve in a separate second slot. Thereby the LP is secured behind, not inside, the album cover, and yo... | |
| Rhino High-Fidelity record jackets There are solutions to be found in the “outer vinyl sleeve” thread. I suggest you read it. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus I have all 3 of those “Play Bach” LPs. They were great fun but I haven’t had a listen in decades. I should pull one out for a spin. | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus Shoulda mentioned Chick Corea re Bach. I would love to hear those two playing together or to have Bach hear Chick. Anyway, we were blessed to have Chick in our audiophile lifetimes. As to the plethora of mono cartridges available these days, I do... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Since my LPs are all snug in their respective storage racks, I’d have to add about 50% more new storage space if I were to adopt that system, but there is no danger of that ever happening. As most probably know, most purveyors of high quality used... | |
| Durable record vacuum cleaner recommendation? A 15A fuse on a 120V line is not doing anything in most homes, because most have 15A circuit breakers at the fuse box. And that’s a shitload of current . You say the motor was blowing 10A fuses? | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Doesn’t that double the horizontal shelf space required per LP? | |
| 2020 update : JC Verdier La Platine Mr. gray, Do you live on Hokkaido? Our son lives in Tokyo, and we visit him every year, usually when it's relatively warm on Hokkaido. So we have visited Sapporo and the. surrounding area on three separate occasions. Hokkaido is a beautiful plac... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? I tried that and probably hundreds of others have too. In my opinion, the results did not adequately compensate for the annoyance. Nor have I ever perceived that significant dust accumulates on an LP via the open end of an album cover. If that’s ... | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll Imintohifi, you make a good point. ESLs are insensitive to damping factor because they don’t generate “back EMF”, which is a reference to the voltage that is produced by motion of the voice coil with respect to the magnets, in electromagnetic woof... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Mold is everywhere. whart, because of semantic differences among words like “sleeve”, “envelope”, “jacket”, and “cover”, I am not really sure what it is you do, but anything that reduces the static charge that results from removing a vinyl LP fro... | |
| Outer Vinyl Sleeves, is it a good idea? Nothing but a nuisance in my opinion. If you own a thousand or more LPs, do you mean to tell me you don’t want to risk wear on the album cover from pulling an album out of a record rack? If so, that means you’re likely playing only a select few LP... | |
| Mono Cartridge Stylus Bach's work is in my mind the forerunner of modern jazz piano music (Brubeck, Peterson, Powell, Monk, Walton, Evans, etc). Which is to say that any cartridge that does well with Bach ought also to sound good with piano jazz LPs. Don'tcha think? | |
| KT88 vs 6550 vs ? for warm midrange - using Cronos Mag lll Flabby bass is about damping factor as much as anything else. Don’t expect a tube amplifier to drive a 4 ohm woofer without “flab”. |
