| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Kuzma’s rationale for the very high effective mass of the Safir essentially boils down to the notion that any high end modern TT will be sufficiently isolated from very low frequency disturbances, like footfalls, by its isolation mechanisms. There... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Mahler, if you look at the last sentences of my 06-05 post at 11:26 AM, you would see that I asked the question just as you did using different words. Thx. | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Elliot, I did check that Yamaha integrated you cited. It does have a built in MM phono stage and might be a reasonable option if she wants more than just phono capability. It would also obviate the need for self powered speakers. Thx. | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? But once one admits that 92 degrees is not necessarily optimal, then it becomes a matter of adjusting SRA to please yourself. The fussiness of doing that would detract from my listening pleasure much more than does the possibility that each LP is... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? FWIW. the Holy Grail for SRA is 92 degrees (an angle), not 92%. This was an estimate of the angle made by the cutter head and based on the notion that one wants SRA to exactly replicate the angle of the cutter head when playing an LP. Some gurus h... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Elliot, To me, an output of 300mV is not "line level", which is why I ask my question. It is possible, if not probable, that the built in amplifiers in these small self-powered speakers are very sensitive so as to be driven by a signal at 300mV. ... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Guys, thanks for all of the informative responses. Mijostyn, Luck has no role in this. She is a nice young person who is probably much less fussy than any of us. After all, she has no prior history with vinyl to use for comparison. We met her fo... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Never bothered me a bit. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" By the way, the ethanol will evaporate away over time on a shelf at room temperature. Wizz didn’t mention that. So if you’re anal about the ethanol concentration, you’d best make a fresh solution for each cleaning session. I personally will contin... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Mijo just wants someone, anyone, to live out his dream of owning a Schroeder LT. Yes, a 12 inch TP will be different from a 9 inch TP; its effective length will be 12 inches. The possible sonic differences with any particular cartridge are possibl... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Thanks, I hadn’t been aware of that oddity about the 11" Kuzma. I guess I should have been alerted to it because you did mention the mounting distance in an earlier post. But if the distance from the pivot to the spindle (aka "mounting distance") ... | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? FWIW, so far as I know, the SP10 mk3 and the SP10R have identical relationships between the platter location and that of the surrounding rectangular escutcheon, and I had no problem mounting a 10.5 inch Reed tonearm on my mk3. So I don’t know why ... | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" Here ya go...Everclear To be both truthful and scientific, I wouldn't advise it. | |
| The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation" When you’re back on line, my question was why do you insist on ethanol vs propanol? | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? Elliott (and anyone else), I am not recommending used equipment of any kind for this novice. I may suggest the idea to her, but I doubt she’d be interested. If I suggest a specific used item for her to buy, I’d then feel responsible if a problem a... |
