| Ok, what just happened? My turntable journey...thus far. Nice throw. | |
| Cost to Rewire a Tonearm? Hum. | |
| Cost to Rewire a Tonearm? If we are talking $1500, I completely agree with you, Chak. On the other hand, I would want an experienced pro to do the job for me, if I were to farm it out to someone else. (I can do it myself, too.) So a really qualified tech here in the US m... | |
| Matching cartridge to phono pre amp. pF!? To the OP: Are you saying that the specs for the Lehmann say it has 100pF of capacitance at its inputs? If so, you need also to add in the capacitance of your phono cables. Any phono cable is likely to have an intrinsic capacitance of at least ... | |
| Cost to Rewire a Tonearm? Maybe in Russia. | |
| Matching cartridge to phono pre amp. pF!? pF = picofarad, one-trillionth of a farad, the unit of capacitance. “Pico” = 10 to the minus 12 power. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Without a doubt, “Audio” magazine was a gem among all hobbyist publications. I only wish I had saved all the issues. Every time I re-read an article, I am reminded of important points. The Gordon Holt era issues of S’phile are also worthy, althoug... | |
| Cost to Rewire a Tonearm? If you pay someone else to do it, you are also likely to be paying a premium for the wire itself. The Audionote silver litz wire alone, for one example, may cost you more than Chakster's estimate for the whole job including labor, if the tech acq... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above I have not made any measurements, but 45 rpm singles were produced with a very wide diameter spindle hole. Out beyond that they had a rather wide run-out, I thought so as to trigger a changer mechanism, either in a juke box or on a home record cha... | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? I might point out that 3-4 of us delivered the same opinion as MC, prior to MC's post. Anyway, it's a comfort to know we are mostly in agreement. | |
| Can you run the HANA SL MC at 100 ohms? Glad it worked out well. | |
| Turntable versus tonearm versus cartridge: which is MOST important? Many of us have had the experience where a medium or a budget priced cartridge sounds excellent on a very expensive turntable with a high-quality tonearm. I am among those who have had this experience. Therefore I would say the tonearm and turntab... | |
| SUT Advice - Which Ones Are The Best? JCarr, thanks again for yet another great help to SUT users. The only SUT-maker that I have dealt with personally are Jensen transformers in California, and yes those guys really know what they’re doing and what they are talking about, and they of... | |
| Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above Mijo, this is not meant as criticism, because many of us do it, but you talk about “harmonic distortion “ when you are actually referring to tracking angle error.I am not sure that anyone has ever shown that the two are linearly related. Can you a... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear best-groove, For what it's worth, I referenced MF's review in my response to Mijostyn only with respect to MF's description of the construction and how dampening (or damping, if you prefer) was achieved. I made no mention of MF's opinions about a... |
