| MM or MC cartridge for Mm input on Preamp The MM input on the Steelhead can provide anywhere from 50 to 65db of gain, input to output. Input resistance and capacitance are adjustable on the front panel. So nearly any cartridge can be accommodated. Do you have an owner manual? | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm To comment on the observable design and construction of a tonearm without necessarily speculating on its putative sonic character is no sin. If it is, we cannot have a conversation, since there are very few products, let alone tonearms we’ve all h... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Just for the record, Larry, I did not use the word ”should” in reference to the desired location of the pivot and CW to the LP surface. I only said, or intended to say, that those are two theoretical goals of a modern design. I probably should hav... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II I repeat, stay away. | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Dear Raul, I recently posted a URL from Wiki that contains a figure which I thought is instructional in understanding Lenz' Law. Some describe Lenz' Law as the electromagnetic equivalent of Newton's Third Law of Motion. My opinion-less post with ... | |
| New 55,000 Euro tonearm Using only the photos attached to the review, it seems that neither the pivot nor the counterweight lie in the plane of the LP surface. Nor is the CW obviously decoupled from the pivot. Those are all commonly accepted good practices observed by ne... | |
| Cartridge Loading.....Part II Figure from the Wiki page on Lenz Law. I was driven to read about it after Dave mentioned it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenz%27s_law | |
| Is the Walker LP system necessary if one already uses a good RCM? I didn't know you were so angry, in general. Synergistic Research pisses me off much more than Lloyd Walker ever could. But SR has staunch supporters. | |
| Where do you buy your vinyl? New vinyl from Music Direct, Acoustic Sounds, Tone Poet, etc. Used vinyl from vendors that appear annually at the Capital Audio Fest, where I can personally inspect the LP before purchase. Never from eBay unless I am "feeling lucky". Or when I ... | |
| Is the Walker LP system necessary if one already uses a good RCM? I wish I were as certain of most anything as you are of everything, Mijo. Yes, I laugh at demagnetizing LPs, yet there are some who swear it made their LP sound better. And there were claims made that tiny bits of ferrous material do get into the ... | |
| Koetsu Urushi stylus shape Following the advice of Raul, I finally sent my Urushi off to Expert Stylus. In my opinion, they were very professional from start to finish. They determined that the OEM cantilever and suspension were in fine shape and did not need work. They the... | |
| Michael Fremer leaves Analog Planet Next stop, "Forbidden Planet"? | |
| Is the Walker LP system necessary if one already uses a good RCM? Look out for that dust. | |
| Could I use my analog hifi system for commerical bar? I hope you will hear from guys who have actually done what you propose, but my gut response is that you may be better off, and spend less money, if you adopt gear that is expressly made for the purpose. Cheap speakers, many of them as needed to f... | |
| Is the Walker LP system necessary if one already uses a good RCM? I knew Lloyd Walker for a few years before his death. He was a very engaging and interesting guy, and I enjoyed my brief encounters with him. But don’t separate Lloyd who made the world class Proscenium turntable from Lloyd who marketed some devic... |
