| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? tomic, I've got the SS ruby cantilever/OCL stylus in a Grace Ruby, AND I've got an MP500. Grace is terrific, could live with it, but MP500 is a bit superior, IMO. I'm also living with an Acutex LPM 320STRIII (whew!), a Koetsu Urushi, a Stanton 9... | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? If you want to minimize use of an expensive MC that needs to go to the factory or to a re-tipper or to be discarded apparently, when the stylus is worn out, then it seems to me you want as a daily driver a cartridge that has a user-replaceable sty... | |
| A Question: What makes for Good Vinyl? Classic Records were very iffy toward the end. I have the Miles Davis 5-LP set that includes “Workin’”, etc. some of those LPs bear gross distortions not found on the originals, most of which I also own. | |
| Vinyl Lovers-- Cartridges!!!! Do you have a daily driver? Among the data for cartridge life span that are bandied about with no supporting evidence, 1000 hours seems pretty good. Usually it’s a subjective judgement unless you are using a microscope for visual evidence of wear. You will like the MP500, an... | |
| System Advice I don't understand. No power cable does not mean you need an aftermarket PS just to get the thing to run. If the TT has an IEC jack for AC (a socket with 3 prongs in a recessed space), you can go to any hardware store and buy a proper AC cord for ... | |
| Turntable Rumble/Feedback IMO, it’s never a great idea to put springs or any other flexible foot under a speaker, particularly a subwoofer. | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series Ditto to what mofi said about graphite mats. You’d have to make a deliberate effort by squeezing the mat and LP together and then twisting one against the other, clockwise then counter clockwise in order to do any such damage, if even then, the su... | |
| New Jilco Clipper cartridge....Interesting The ad copy is dated 2019 yet the text mentions 2021. The price seems high for the mediocre specs, but it does look cool. My guess is it wouldn’t dislodge 103 fans from the 103. | |
| Linn LP12 turntable What's a "Machined Radikal"? | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series I don't disagree with anything you wrote about the desired function of a mat, but my question was why does the mat have to be glued to the platter? The glue itself forms a boundary between the mat and the platter, which may or may not reflect ene... | |
| A Question: What makes for Good Vinyl? My own experience is different. I’ve got many LPs based on digital masters that sound fantastic. And I’m somewhat phobic about digital. | |
| New Sugar Cube is picking up hum from phono stage What cleeds said, plus have you tried disconnecting the ground wire between components? And obviously check the cartridge grounds. Both channels? | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series I own or have owned a DP80 and Technics SP10 Mk2, 2a, and 3. What do you find to be so different among the rubber mats supplied with those TTs that would lead you to conclude that the Denon DP80 mat is superior to the Technics mats? I didn't hear ... | |
| Turntable Mats for Technics Grand Class, "G" Series Why does the mat have to be glued to the platter? Seems to me you’re better off with nothing between mat and platter, for best energy transfer. If the mat slips in the absence of glue, I’d consider a record clamp or weight to push the mat down fro... | |
