| Dustcover Blues Like you, Mike, I was joking. I wouldn’t have a chance trying to change your point of view. | |
| Sony PS-X50 - MC cartridge advice please (and general MC cartridge advice) Take Jason’s opinion of MM cartridges and the reasoning associated with his opinion with a wheelbarrow full of salt. There are many MM cartridges that outperform many MC cartridges, although he hasn’t named the best ones. And Grado are not the onl... | |
| Acoustic Signature speed change from 33 to 45 Ohvy, I don’t know why you keep saying speed constancy is not important. It’s the major job of the TT. Not the only job, but the most critical, in my opinion. Who among us uses a TT primarily to record from, these days? | |
| Dustcover Blues Direct drive. Cover off. | |
| Strangest Phono Sound I Ever Heard Check the tonearm leads where they pass near the pivot. You may have drag there. Also check that the arm wand is not fouling the cue device. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable Mijostyn, do you now or have you ever owned a Reed tonearm? | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable Oldhv, was only joking but I genuinely have not liked silver plated wire. I’ve never seen “copper clad” wire in any guise. You make a good point about cartridge coils, and in the case of ZYX cartridges that can be purchased with either silver or c... | |

| Dustcover Blues That statement was probably incorrect. Apologies to Mijo. But I still don’t think he should attempt it before acquiring a thorough understanding of RIAA. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable +1 for Erik. Silver or copper but not silver-plated copper, please. | |
| Dustcover Blues To cover the dust. | |
| Dustcover Blues Whatever you decide, my advice would be not to try to introduce the filtering externally with your digital filter device. It has to happen in conjunction with transduction of the cartridge signal. | |
| Dustcover Blues Thanks, Ralph. All Atma is saying is that a strain gauge needs a little EQ in order to correct for the RIAA pre-emphasis standard used to cut all LPs. I don’t know whether the SS SG phono stages account for this but I’d be surprised if they don’t... | |
| Dustcover Blues Dear Raul, That’s a very interesting article. The author makes a good point that using the term "fast" when describing a woofer is specious, because the "speed" required to reproduce very low frequencies accurately is within reach of any well desi... |
