| Victor UA-7082 Arm, Rubber Washer at Rear Counterweight Tube: Sag/Repair/Fitting Damage. I have had my UA7045 apart at the counter-weight, so I can sort of follow your description of what you found, but I'm not totally clear. In my case, I could not get the mating metal pieces apart, which you need to do in order to replace the rubber... | |
| Lamm phono stage LP2.1 Deluxe with low output ZYX MC cart Who said "people" can't hear differences due to loading an MC cartridge? Speaking for myself, I simply advised the OP that the fixed loading afforded by his particular phono stage would be fine. He has no other choice without spending many $$$. ... | |
| Cartridge loading Raul, You could make a useful contribution to the thread by describing why you (apparently) think Ralph is incorrect in his statement that low resistive loads on an MC cartridge can impede its ability to trace HF. And by the way, in the American/... | |
| Lamm phono stage LP2.1 Deluxe with low output ZYX MC cart For most MC cartridges, as Chakster said, any load resistance above 100 ohms will certainly "work". People do argue about how a particular load resistance "sounds" with a particular LOMC cartridge. If you will read the contentious thread on this... | |
| SME 3009 II Unimporved -- "Thin" Sound The OP elicited a lot of good comments. None of us is inside "widebrow"'s head, so none of us can be sure what is "missing", as far as he's concerned, from the results of this experiment into analog. I can only offer my personal opinion. When I r... | |
| What's Worth More on the Open Market - Your Records or Your Audio Gear A friend just sold his LP collection, around 2000 LPs, for $20,000. I was flabbergasted that the selling price was so high. However, his system easily cost more than $100K. Assuming he can re-sell his gear for ~$60K (60% of retail), the system i... | |
| Vinyl cleaning and alcohol I also advocate a distilled water rinse after cleaning with my own mixture of isopropanol, non-ionic detergent, and water. Otherwise, I do believe the detergent can leave a residue. I heard an improvement when I added the pure water rinse step. ... | |
| The Arm/Cartridge Matching Myth The problem with your conclusion based on your observations is that you can have no idea what the actual compliance of your Shure cartridge is at this point in time. By now, it may be a low compliance cartridge which is actually a fairly good matc... | |
| Should the Tone Arm be Removed When Installing Cartridge? I guess according to Miller there would be 3 categories among us: audiophiles, sensible persons, and Linnies. We know the latter group are irredeemable.i see merit in mijo’s approach, if you have an easily removable arm board and a non-removable h... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? Chak, If you say you are not the person selling the Victor cartridge in the eBay ad posted here by someone else, I will believe you, but the use of the English language in that ad is very reminiscent of your phraseology, and you are located in St ... | |
| Should the Tone Arm be Removed When Installing Cartridge? millercarbon, I am not certain of your intended message. Are you disagreeing with me, in that you think the tonearm should be removed to install a cartridge? I've never ever even considered doing such a thing, but if I did, I would then be very ... | |
| Should the Tone Arm be Removed When Installing Cartridge? Does the tonearm have a detachable headshell? If so, I see no reason to remove the whole tonearm in order to install a cartridge. If not, I still don't think it's necessary. In fact, there is some advantage to leaving it mounted because you can ... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? I apologize, Mijo, if it seems I am picking on you. It's nothing personal, and you seem like a nice guy who just believes differently from me on many audiophile issues. But here is the result of a Google search for "titanium bicycle forks". Ther... | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? Yes, I guess that's why the SR71 Blackbird spy plane was made of titanium; it's soooo rubbery. | |
| Cartridge, Compliance, try what in my JVC UA-7082 Arm? The seller could be Chakster himself. Not that there is anything wrong with that, except.... |
