| MY SONIC LAB Cartridges I find that the three or four of my 20 or so cartridges that I like the best tend to sound quite the same to me if I were to close my eyes. And I like to think that this is because I am drawn to their neutrality more than anything else. In other w... | |
| $10K budget? Look no further, EMT 948 NIB Agree with Mike L. I would ditch the EMT tonearm and the built in phono stage. Then it would be interesting to compare it to a Mk3 or 10R in similar livery. | |
| MY SONIC LAB Cartridges JPerry, Eyes closed, could you distinguish among those 4 cartridges? | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance Dear Raul, I don't understand what you want me to say. I can only say (again) that my experience with underhung tonearms using zero headshell offset angle suggests that precise adherence to any algorithm that posits minimizing tracking angle erro... | |
| If I could afford, I’d purchase 100% Oswald Mills Audio gear This is Richard Krebs’ turntable wearing a new dress. The new dress is made of cast iron. Powerful motors require powerful magnets. I am curious what happens to the magnetic field in this situation. I hope Richard and Frank Schroeder are getting a... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance The thing is that an under hung tonearm will yield massive amounts of tracking angle error when the stylus is not located at its single null point on the surface of the LP. Way more tracking angle error than is developed in a properly aligned over... | |
| Spindle-To-Pivot Distance I always wonder what sort of (mono) systems were available to Baerwald and Lofgren in the late 1930 or early 1940s, when they published their analyses, and how their work applies to modern stereo gear. Yes, geometry is still geometry, I know.TomWh... | |
| 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. |
