| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa The current drive depends not only on the internal resistance of the cartridge but also on the input impedance of the phono stage. If you investigate, the phono stages said to be of that type actually have quite a wide range of input impedances am... | |
| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa The Mutech, like the aforementioned Haniwa cartridge, ought to be auditioned using a current-driven phono stage. I bet the results would be staggering with a good example of that type of phono circuit. Fremer used the BMC MCCI when he reviewed th... | |
| The Mutech RM Kanda Hyabusa I don’t know which Transfiguration cartridge this might be comparable to, but the very low internal resistance with the relatively high output (although still in the low output category) reminds me of another Japanese cartridge that has been on th... | |
| FR64S tonearm overhaul luisma, True balanced phono stages, other than the MP1, are not that uncommon these days. Oddly and sadly, more so among solid state devices than among tube types. I guess I wrote up the balanced idea mostly because some dealers propagate the no... | |
| FR64S tonearm overhaul To mate with the DIN connector on the base of the tone arm, I would advise just getting the phono cable you like best. And there is no limit on how much to spend on that cable, because in my opinion the tonearm is that good. If your phono stage pe... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? All I said in response to your post, is that the OP asked for info on one specific turntable.He did not ask for suggestions on what to buy. And yes I confess I am a little tired of reading that you suggest a SOTA turntable for everyone. On the ot... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? There are many companies that do a superb job resurrecting and improving upon the original Garrard 301 or the 401. This is also true of the Lenco idler. My personal bias is in favor of a tweaked Lenco over a Garrard, but what I like makes no dif... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? Separating the tonearm from the plinth has many issues. You can find a whole thread on this subject, if you search here using the word "Copernicus". I and everyone else who posted there said about all that one can say about arm pods, up and down,... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? Thanks, Chakster. Working on my cell, I didn’t see that page on their website. That pod does not inspire my confidence for many reasons. I do like the model where the arm is mounted on the plinth much better. And I did notice they are partial to I... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? Mijostyn,If you would stop selling Sota turntables on this website, maybe then you would be able to evaluate some other brand of turntable on its own merits. If you don’t like idler drives, and we know you don’t like unsuspended turntables, then o... | |
| Torqueo - any info or updates? The text on the website is not very informative, while on the other hand it says a lot. Only from the photos, it seems that this is an idler drive turntable, with the motor driving two idler wheels, one on either side of the motor shaft. each idle... | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. I just realized: logarithmic progression; 1,2,5. | |
| Don't buy Allnic H1201 phono stage new. Pretty tricky. Allnic is skipping 1203 and 1204 and going straight to 1205. Cool! | |
| At wits' end with radio through the speakers! The ferrite rings might help. Let us know. Short of moving to West Virginia, you might try enclosing your phono stage in a sort of faraday box. It’s impractical to do a true faraday box, but you might encase it in shielding as much as that is poss... | |
| SUPER Staticy Record??? Antinn, I take your point about “wetting”, but my point was that it takes a fraction of a second to charge up an LP even after it might have been discharged by wetting, and sumadoggie might be inadvertently doing something conducive to charging AF... |
