| SME tonearm rewire - holy cow You left out a major point of interest for me and others like me. In your new wiring, do the leads go directly from the cartridge pins all the way to the phono stage? And is this a change from previous? Because that sort of modification generally ... | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Sorry, June Christy, not Julie Christy. I think I was mixing her up with the British actress of the same era. | |
| Mono vinyl, how do you know if really single channel mono or if stereo recorded to mono Elliott, I have two recordings of Julie Christy's "Something Cool", both on Capitol. One is stereo and the other is mono. If you listen carefully, you can detect that Julie does not even sing the songs in exactly the same way on both LPs, and th... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 I forgot to mention that Davey was right to point out there is no analogy between the value or cost of vintage Ferrari race cars and the SAT turntable or tonearms. I think the masochist in me just loves to tell that story. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 Davey, I can't agree with you that stratospheric product pricing such as we see with regard to SAT is going to ruin the hobby. On the contrary, I see it as one more sign of life. For youngsters or first-timers who want to play vinyl, SAT is a to... | |
| Matching Cartridge + Headshell + Tonearm combination In terms of the resulting resonant frequency, yes. | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 davey, I think your point or what is driving your responses is that you are angry/upset/unhappy with the prices. Life is too short for that sort of fretting, so far as I am concerned, but you are entitled to your huff. I am more pissed off that ... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 First, let me say that my opening remark was not meant as a condemnation of the SAT products per se just on the basis of their very high cost. I try not to do that or think like that. The turntables and tonearms might be very very good, maybe th... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor Luis, I don’t know what you mean when you say the Feickert is “not so good“ for cartridge alignment. Can you elaborate? Because unless you are very anal about the process, I find the Feickert to be excellent on all counts. And because I am admitte... | |
| Has anyone heard the SAT XD1 What is your question or problem that others might comment on? When it comes to the SAT, nearly every one of us is in the same boat with you; we could never afford it, nor would we afford it (just on principle) if we could. | |
| Acoustic Sounds Series I wish I could find my copy of the Coltrane/“Ballads” LP. It’s out there somewhere in my collection. | |
| Placing turntable on top of fireplace mantle? For me, a fireplace mantel is at least as stable as one of those Target wall shelves and likely to be much more so. Plus, it is anchored into the chimney, the most structurally rigid part of most houses, certainly more rigid than a typical stud, ... | |
| Placing turntable on top of fireplace mantle? How about just put the freakin' turntable there and listen to some music? (No disrespect intended, Chayro.)Or, you could hit it with a hammer, pour water on it, wait for 100 mph winds to blow across your chimney, light a roaring fire and feed it w... | |
| Placing turntable on top of fireplace mantle? Go for it. All the naysaying is based on pure speculation and worst case scenarios. Let us know how it actually works out. | |
| Synergistic PHT... any other PHT heads here? With acid, VTF is moot. |
