| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? Raul knows a lot about SAEC tonearms. Maybe he will chime in. Or search posts by Raul on SAEC. | |
| SAEC WE 506/30 incoming. Anybody here with any experience with this arm? tkr, I cannot elaborate, because it seems to me that one or more of the SAEC tonearms is built for their own unique geometry. Some alignment mavens don't like them at all for that reason. Otherwise, your tonearm may be built for Stevenson alignm... | |

| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading Pindac, I apologize if my earlier post seemed overbearing. I do respect that each of us has a slightly different "taste" in SQ, for want of a better phrase. What I assumed is that your phono stage was designed to provide what we commonly think ... | |
| Silver Head Shell Leads fiesta, I think you may have it backwards. Aluminum is very apt to cause problems when in close contact with any of several metals. But I would have thought that gold would be less of a problem than iron or steel, bonded to aluminum. Anyone who... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? I paid $700 for my custom pure copper L07D mat. The L07D comes with a stainless steel mat. My copper mat is an exact replica, weighing only a few ounces more, and includes the threaded holes provided in the original for lifting it off the platte... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms Luisma, I am not anxious when it comes to cables. I long ago settled on what I liked well enough and have not felt the impulse to change or "upgrade" for at least two decades in my main upstairs system. In keeping with my finding that low characte... | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading Pindac, What are you saying? Seems you are saying that if gain is insufficient, then your cartridge doesn't sound its best. Which is almost certainly true. Clearly, the ECC81 (also known as 12AT7) substitution produced overall phono gain that wa... | |
| Phono Stage That's not Schiit You wrote, "I'm hoping to find a phono stage for >$1k..." Greater than $1K, in other words. But I am thinking you meant to say "less than $1K". In any case, you got a lot of suggestions for units hovering around $1K in price. Maybe that is b... | |
| Running LOMC with MM (47K) loading audioguy, There is nothing sacred about 47K ohms; it's become the standard for MM cartridges by default. In fact, many have found that at least some MM and MI cartridges sound best with even less of a load, like 100K ohms. ("Less of a load" mean... | |
| Refurbish Fidelity Research Tonearms Capacitance in a cable (speaker or IC) is associated with a low "characteristic impedance", defined as the square root of the inductance divided by the capacitance. (Hence, the higher the capacitance, the lower the characteristic impedance, also h... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? While I am sure that the M-S metal mats are very good, based on the accolades, the cost is more based on the mystique that now surrounds anything made by M-S in its heyday. That was my point. I had a new pure copper mat custom-machined for my Ke... | |
| ZYX Ultimate Dynamic cartridge Since a low output version Universe, of which I own one, has an output of 0.24mV at standard stylus velocity, I have to wonder what is the output of these Ultimate series cartridges. Does anyone know? I also own an Ortofon MC2000 that only makes... | |
| Technics SL1000 MK3 (SP10 MK3) performance/value VS modern turntables? "and expensive", not "and the expensive". Autocorrect on my iPhone. | |
| recommendation for a high end analog system So lose the dust cover. Mijostyn is in the minority who believe that the dust cover does more good than harm. I wouldn’t let the dust cover control my choice of tonearm. But better yet, make up your own mind based on listening. You might end up ag... |
