| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? MC, It's interesting that you quote Isaac Newton's laws, call people "Einstein" as a form of sarcastic insult to indicate he or she is not brilliant, and use a famous photo of Einstein as your icon. Yet it was Einstein who displaced Newton's Laws... | |
| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? Elliot, I am still stewing, because you said “Lew’s thing is ugly”. My wife refuses to comment.The ugly truth is none of us understands the physics well enough to judge the Enabler out of context, where context is one’s own ears and one’s own audi... | |
| Pickering XSV 3000 replacement stylus- are they worth it? As you know, Chakster, the magnet is in the cartridge body, not the stylus assembly, so I wonder why you’ve mentioned it. Also, WHY don’t you trust LP Gear? | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? If you use one turntable, I don’t disagree. | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration The lunatic billionaires in NYC are typically not New Yorkers by native standards and typically don’t actually reside in their mega-expensive apartments. Of course we know that one bona fide native NYer who is a self described stable genius and bi... | |
| Pickering XSV 3000 replacement stylus- are they worth it? I believe there is a discussion elsewhere on this forum about Pickering XSV replacement styli sold in the USA. I think the vendor is LP gear. The LP gear product bears a Shibata stylus. In my opinion and in the opinion of several others who contri... | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? I might add that even though I still stand by the Manley Steelhead as being a great unit, for your particular system, I think you should look at truly balanced phono and line stages. As mentioned elsewhere, I use my steelhead in a completely separ... | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? To my knowledge, Lamm does not and has never made a true balanced preamplifier, either phono or line stage. But I am not a Lamm aficionado, so I may be wrong. You do have to be careful when you shop for balanced equipment. Many manufacturers will ... | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? If you have SL speakers driven by Atma-sphere amplifier s, I strongly recommend a balanced phono linestage. Of course the Atma MP1 would be logical. The atmosphere amplifiers really do come alive when driven in balanced mode. I would not spend big... | |
| Cartridge ISOLATION; What Say You? The suspense is killing me. Does Peter Ledermann advocate using the enabler? Or what does he advocate after having demonstrated vibration in the cartridge and tonearm? I agree with Ralph. But then I will be chastised for using logic rather than ex... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation I know. | |
| Is the Manley Steelhead still relevant? There are many reasons why you may experience a "washed out" SQ with higher volume levels, in your system. But keep in mind that a volume control is an attenuator; it is not adding gain as you turn up the volume. It is attenuating the output of t... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation A bridged stereo cartridge becomes a “horizontal generator”. Signal produced by vertical deflection of the cantilever is canceled. | |
| Technics SP10 MK3 Restoration I made slate plinths for several of my turntables, or I should say I had them made on a one by one basis, using Pennsylvania slate and a York, PA, Waterjet shop to cut the slabs. The total cost was always less than $500 per. Here we’re talking abo... | |
| Mono cartridge recommendation andysf, Sorry about that. I guess I was thinking of a chart on their website, not necessarily a written essay on the subject. The Japanese are notoriously poor with English. Even English teaching in Japan is poor. From what I can gather, the t... |
