| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance Whether exactly correct alignment could be achieved with the OP‘s situation is definitely a good question. I share your opinion that most headshells would not have that much adjustability room. But that is different from saying not to do it becaus... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance What will happen, if you use a 240mm P2S distance where 250mm is recommended, if you do nothing to compensate for that error, is the null points will move farther apart from each other. If the tonearm is designed for an algorithm like Stevenson, ... | |
| $10K budget? Look no further, EMT 948 NIB As long as you know that the SP10R is a modern turntable just recently introduced by technics which uses a coreless motor. I was not referring to a1970-vintage SP 10 or an SP 10 Mk2. Now the old SP 10 Mk3 probably is on par with the SP 10 R. So l... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance Why would moving the cartridge forward in a headshell with elongated slots “look ugly”, and who cares? | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance I know I’ll get hate mail, figuratively, but anal attention to alignment is overrated in my opinion, as regards the effect of slight misalignment on audible distortion. | |
| $10K budget? Look no further, EMT 948 NIB Bill, just fooling with you. | |
| $10K budget? Look no further, EMT 948 NIB Watch what you call “humdrum”, buddy, especially if you’re interested in broadcast idlers. I’d take an SP10R over that 948 any day, and for less money brand new with warranty. | |
| Favorite Platform for Linn LP12 Paul, I think you described why some might not like the Linn pretty well, in your second paragraph. It boils down to fussiness plus the high cost of the most necessary factory upgrades. | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance If the slots in your head shell, presuming you are using a head shell, are long enough you could possibly make up the deficit by moving the cartridge forward in the head shell and twisting it slightly with respect to the long axis of the headshell... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? This is for Brad1138. So sorry if I confused you. I did suggest you might want to try the 47K ohm loading, but I also said "if your phono stage permits it", which was to say if your phono stage can provide sufficient gain absent a SUT. I should... | |
| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? I once had the experience of hearing a modestly skilled sax player perform in my listening room, standing between my pair of Sound Lab 845PX speakers. Now THAT was a real lesson in comparing live sound to reproduced sound in my system. I was actu... | |
| Analog upgrade: Luxman EQ-500 Phono preamp + Hana Umami Red Cartridge + REED 2A Tonearm Just to clarify, the optional loading offered on the Luxman, 2.5 ohms vs 40 ohms , or whatever, does not refer to the net input impedance of the phono stage. I think the values derive from the turns ratio of the built-in SUT. And the values refer ... | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? Now try 47K, if your phono stage permits it. | |
| how much were cassettes in the 80s and 90s? did they get cheaper as the 90s went on? $2 to $5 | |
| Herron VTPH-2A vs Rogers PA-2 Phono Preamplifier I think my thinking is in line with MC's here. There is no piece of audio gear that could not be picked apart by a hobbyist competent to read a schematic and understand the circuit. Even those FETs could be substituted by a knowledgable engineer... |
