| Russian Tube Preamp, No Return, Here I go again What’s done is done, and I wish you the best of luck. But for $400 or $500 there is a lot of good vintage equipment that you can buy right here in the USA with known brand names and known quality. I am just saying. Not unlike the stuff you already... | |
| Question on VTF (What should i adjust it to?) Mijo, We don't disagree, but I was not referring to involuntary reflex arcs or the manifestations of mental illness. I mean, when your wife asks you, "Does this dress make me look fat?", you have to wonder why she thinks it might. I was really w... | |
| The end of LP collecting???? This thread is now 16 years old, and I alone have purchased several hundred mint condition used LPs during the past 16 years, to add to my now 3000 LP collection . I haven’t paid more than $12-$15 for any of them. Well, maybe I paid as much as $20... | |
| Question on VTF (What should i adjust it to?) Funny how "low" VTF gives a "lighter" presentation, while "high" VTF (within the recommended range) gives a "heavier" presentation. And yet some people will argue there is no such thing as subconscious bias. No insult attended toward you, noroma... | |
| Do you let the turntable spin when putting down record and attach the clamp. Since for a DD turntable, there is no momentary sound quality degradation associated with operating the on/off switch, I do off my DD turntables between LPs. For any of the ones I own, they are back up to speed in seconds after re-start. I use a S... | |
| Question on VTF (What should i adjust it to?) If you hear mistracking on transients or complex musical passages, then tick up the VTF about a tenth of a gram. Otherwise, what compels you to worry about it? Also, what tool are you using to set VTF? If you use the classic Shure SFG, it is no... | |
| Micro Seiki MA-505 variants - any oracles around? totem, Got some references? Thx. | |
| Back To Static! Mijo, what happens with the label-less LP? | |
| Micro Seiki MA-505 variants - any oracles around? Now that this thread has been revived, I wonder whether anyone has knowledge of the origin of the L07J tonearm that was supplied with the Kenwood L07D turntable. The L07J has a look to it that has always reminded me of the micro seiki MAX tonearms... | |
| Pivot to Spindle distance Lofgren and Baerwald published their papers on tonearm alignment in around 1940, when the only records were made of something other than vinyl and all were mono 78s. And most people still owned wind-up Victrolas with megaphone speakers. | |
| Pivot to Spindle distance Elliot, In the end, it's effective length that counts, along with headshell offset angle. Since effective length is the sum of P2S + overhang, since different designs feature different headshell offset angles, and since there are at least 3 diffe... | |
| Pivot to Spindle distance fsonicsmith, I admit to being overly inquisitive at times, in my search for clarity, but on this thread, all I asked for was the OP to explain the very vague term he used to indicate he was satisfied with his alignment despite the known 5mm error ... | |
| re-tipping Dynavector17D? Good try, Chak. But it's hopeless. Could it be that "Markusthenaimnut", "Shooflyshoo", and "heyitsmedusty" are one and the same person? No offense intended to those 3, as they are more likely to be separate individuals who did not read the OP. | |
| EL 34 tubes I think there is an amplifier or tube-related Forum where you might get a response from persons more obsessed with amplifier tubes. EL34s are power output tubes, not used in phono circuits. And, as you can see, it will be a matter of opinion. | |
| Pivot to Spindle distance Mark, You wrote, "My P2S distance is off by about 5 mm (over). But my cartridge seams to be aligned pretty good." Define "pretty good". Thanks. |
