| Audio technica AT6006R tonearm lifter Falls off to the outside or the side away from the spindle aka in the direction of the AS force? If so, then maybe you can glue a stopper to that side of the lifter arm. Or just dump the lifter. It does not damage the stylus to ride for a few extr... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? I saw those Klipsch spkrs. Nice. I’ve mentioned them to the person I’m advising. Anything sold new in Tokyo will work off their grid. That’s not an issue, thankfully. | |
| Phantom Supreme to 4Point-14? Whether any or all of the tonearms on your list qualify as an upgrade is such a difficult question to answer, especially since the cartridge/tonearm mating is such a critical factor. I've got 5 turntables up and running with 5 different tonearms. ... | |
| Complete vinyl system, TT to speakers, for $1500? That thing is cool! Something anyone should have in case of a nuclear attack. (This in response to the Audio Technica Sound Burger.) Dogberry, I don’t want to be responsible for advising her to purchase used equipment that may fail or be defectiv... | |
| 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") ... |
