| Phono 1:1 Input Transformers - info sought... The 1:1 input transformers might also be used to invert phase at the input of the phono stage. (I notice that the ad copy mentions phase inversion as a feature.) Actually, by using the transformer input, you can do both: convert an SE input to bal... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? SAEC, the company known for tonearms, has been out of the business during most of the most modern era of obsessive copper wire-naming and the wild claims associated with that practice. | |
| Phono 1:1 Input Transformers - info sought... Most likely they are using input transformers to create a balanced input from what is internally a single ended circuit. | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Had I seen that ebay ad, and I did do a search on "Acutex" but it strangely did not come up, I would have purchased that unit rather than sending my damaged one to SS, as I just did today. I had a worn out LPM315. So I stuck that assembly on the ... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Holm-zie baby, Your options have been stated over and over again. They range from (1) changing the wire between the DIN plug and the box, which was your original question to (2) changing the wires and then experimenting with different ICs to find... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Pani, Which version of "Nantais Lenco" do you own? I used to own one, too, and I used to follow Jean's meanderings on various websites. He was or is constantly upgrading his ideas on how to improve the base table, so his work has a temporal qual... | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? Hi Timeltel, Nice to hear from you. In all prior experience with the LPM320STRIII, I had it mounted in its headshell adaptor/coil housing, rather than in the Saturn V, but in a lightweight headshell, probably carbon fiber type. In a fit of stupi... | |
| Who Is An Expert On Acutex Cartridges? I dredged up this thread, because I am once again listening to an LPM320STRIII, this time in Acutex's optional "Saturn V" headshell, which really is the lightest possible headshell, running it in my Lenco in a DV505 tonearm. I had never tried the... | |
| Solid State Phono Stages Seems like you will have to buy about a half dozen phono stages in order to appease the crowd, and then listen to them in your system in order to make your own decision. I am being only half facetious. Sometimes you really do have to buy several d... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? We agree, Raul. That is what I was trying to say. There is basically "nothing new under the sun" when it comes to turntables, although our ideas about what constitutes optimal design and construction have evolved or become more sophisticated over... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Pindac, You wrote, "If the OP wants to replace the Cable used for the PIB - 1, the method when used will add one more set of connections and disruption in the signal path." I beg to differ. He is already using the box, so changing the wires betw... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Yes, but what I and others are saying is he is better off getting rid of the box entirely. Just go DIN at the arm base to RCA at the phono stage, which can very easily be achieved and would cost no more than buying RCA to RCA conventional interco... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Pani, Can you try to put into words what you heard from the 927 that was so superior to any of the other TTs with which you compared it? You seem at one go to be saying that the 927 "beat" the Technics and a Lenco but that those are turntables yo... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? If my post makes no "sense", read it again. Or if you want to query me, please ask a specific question about my post; I will be happy to try to respond. Now you ask me what do I think is the "perfect" TT, which was not the central subject of my p... | |
| Tone arm plug in RCA cable? Talk to AntiCables. They can make any cable with any plug you want even assuming the OP has a miniDIN, whatever that is. It is always beneficial to reduce the number of physical connections in the signal path, noise or no noise. |
