| Looking For A Dialogue Around Using An Ortofon MC2000 In My Current System I have already suggested that you contact Intact Audio. Another source for a proper transformer would be Jensen in California. They may be able to custom build you a SUT with a high enough turns ratio to accommodate your MC2000. (Or maybe they eve... | |
| Onzow ZeroDust reportedly leaves a residue You do have to wonder when a warning comes from one company about using the products of another company in the same field of endeavor. Albeit, Wally tools do not market a competing stylus cleaner, so far as I know. If, in fact, they do, then all... | |
| Interesting information from Analog Planet on Stylus Cleaner Onzow Zero Dust. Mulv, I certainly hope you don’t “scrub” with magic eraser. I use it too, but down on the ME and up off the ME, preferably maintaining a 90 degree orientation of stylus tip to pad seems the only safe method. | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? .01uF HV ceramic cap across the switch. | |
| Strangest Phono Sound I Ever Heard Why worry about the tonearm? If I am following correctly, you’ve proven the problem resides with your preamp. | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable And you can measure the ”rise” between 5kHz and 8kHz? Because I’d like to see your data and your methods for measurement. I don’t insist upon the superiority of either silver or copper, but I think your premise is poppycock. Have you posted your ... | |
| Acoustic Signature speed change from 33 to 45 Ohv, as in all things, speed control is a matter of constancy not necessarily pinpoint accuracy. You would hear it I hope if speed was varying widely during the course of play. That’s speed “constancy” despite the variables of stylus drag, belt sl... | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? What turntable? More than one brand or type? When you say “off”, do you mean power off or just platter motor off? | |
| 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... |
