| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Dear Nandric, I do refer to the MC2000 that I bought from you. I thought you told me it was re-tipped by Axel with one of his last assemblages (cantilever and stylus) that either resembled the original or was per original Ortofon spec. If it IS ... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today I think we went over this ground before the repair. I also have my MC2000 mounted on a DV505, using a CF headshell. Mine was retipped by Axel, with original aluminum cantilever and original or original shape stylus, which I think was press fitted ... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Dover nicely summarized your options in the very first response to your question. The subsequent posts delineate your best specific options in alternative tonearms. The choice for a course of action yours. you could ask yourself what is the penal... | |
| Received The MC2000 Back From Expert Stylus Today Why did the cantilever need repair? The original stylus is press fitted. Was he able to do the same with the new one? What tonearm? Thx. | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. "It’s amazing the amount all of you know.." It’s also amazing the amount all of us don’t know. Like why an outboard pod is not advisable, especially the pods shown in those photos. I don’t argue that it cannot be done well, but the doer must be so... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. I did mention earlier that the Triplanar and most if not all Reed tonearms are surface mounted, such that no new hole is needed for a vertical shaft that needs to penetrate the mounting board. You would only have to drill usually 3 small holes fo... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. I apologize for raining on the Mijostyn parade, but in this video, where the narrator is trying to demonstrate the importance of having the pivot located at the level of the LP surface (minutes 20-25 or so), he is really comparing the condition "h... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Mijostyn, If, instead of insults to my intelligence, you would point out to me what minutes in the video explain the physics behind having the pivot in the plane of the LP, I would watch that part of the video. I don’t need the part about the wond... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. The major argument against mounting the tonearm on an outboard pod is not the fact that pivot to spindle distance is subject to variation, if the pod is inadvertently moved in relation to the spindle, although that certainly is a major secondary c... | |
| Looking for a tube phono pre Based on the quoted information in bold print, one cannot have an opinion about "electronic azimuth adjustment", because there is not one word of explanation contained in that paragraph. Lots of hi-gain phono stages use cascode input circuits; I ... | |
| Looking for a tube phono pre What the heck is “electronic azimuth adjustment “? | |
| Sota Eclipse packages for VPI tables. Unless the VPI platter has the same mass and distribution of mass that is characteristic of Clearaudio platters with the mag lev feature, I would be very cautious about making such a big change to the bearings of the VPI. Anyway, there is probably... | |
| LINN LINTO NOISE Raul, Good to know I could shut down my 3160 before amplifiers, but I will continue to do the normal routine; amplifiers first. It's not a hardship. I took a look at the Stereophile review of the Linto. Apparently it has a switching power suppl... | |
| LINN LINTO NOISE Luigi only wants to know whether other owners of the Linto have had a similar experience to his. Since my dear mom often used to call me Luigi, I am empathetic. Personally, I’m a belt and suspenders kind of guy. I mute the preamp and then I alway... | |
| How to choose an upgraded tonearm. Reed tonearms and the Triplanar are all surface mount designs, so it is possible you could mount one of those without having to drill any new holes, except small ones for screw fasteners. You’d have to analyze on a case by case basis. |
