| First Moving Coil (MC) Cartridge Acquisition For $1000, you might want to consider the Audio Technica ART7 or ART9. The former has much lower output than the latter, but either might work with your Herron 2A. I own an ART7 (.12mV output), and I have more than ample gain with my Manley Stee... | |
| Anyone know what's up with Shelter Japan? Saw them in stores in Tokyo as recently as last June, which may or may not prove anything. Maybe they’re concentrated on the Asian market. Or maybe there is a problem with US distribution, or both. | |
| "Cars are Cars" by Paul Simon...are my channels reversed? I’d start at the cartridge pins, first of all. | |
| "Cars are Cars" by Paul Simon...are my channels reversed? I don't happen to own the particular Paul Simon album in question, but you might try playing some albums that feature jazz trio or quartet. In such an ensemble, the pianist is typically on the left and the drummer on the far right, with the bass ... | |
| "Cars are Cars" by Paul Simon...are my channels reversed? You are the best qualified to determine whether or not your channels are reversed. Did you check your system from front to back, for that problem? What did you find? If there's no obvious error in your hook-ups, and if other vinyl sounds correct... | |
| Vinyl cleaning and alcohol I remember some of those threads. It turned out that some guys actually use undiluted alcohols. I'm not sure I would recommend that or do it myself. I have always used a solution that is about 10% pure ethanol, laboratory grade, not drug store bo... | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? That was funny. | |
| Which phono section to buy: match table or cartridge? Buy the best phono stage you can afford. Matching to the brand of either your turntable or your cartridge is absolutely unnecessary. However, if I am correct in my belief that the Maestro is a high output MM cartridge, this means you only need a... | |
| Tonearm ...... Acos Lustre GST-801 ..... Yea/Nay Glass shelf??? Why? | |
| TT, 12" Tonearm. Who tried and ended up preferring 12" arm? Chak, I’m surprised the 3P is so light. My 10.5 inch 2A in red cedar is at least 12g. I never use any FR headshell in the 64S. Much of the mass of the 64S is due to the OEM headshell. I tend to use a CF headshell that weighs about 9 g. But your po... | |
| Best tonerarm match for Acutex M320 III STR cartridge For what it's worth, yes, my Lenco is in a slate plinth. It is further modified in many other ways. You could say it is a custom turntable that uses the Lenco motor, idler arm and wheel, and platter, and even the platter was treated so as to dea... | |
| Lyra Atlas SL Cartridge Magnet type?? Here in the US, one can buy small neodynium magnets at any good hardware store. I bought a pkg of 3. These are about the size of a dime. The magnetic field is so strong that one cannot easily get the magnets in the stack of 3 apart from one anot... | |
| Cartridge loading No, you have a big problem. Not me. Wanna go back and forth on this? I cannot imagine why you think I hit on you simply by pointing out a possible mechanism for one effect of loading on an MC cartridge. I was trying to make a neutral contribution... | |
| Cartridge loading On my post to which you responded (today at 1:18 pm), I was typing on my iphone, on which I am prone to errors. Perhaps the grammar of my sentence confused you, and I was unable to edit it because Dave (Intactaudio) posted before I could make a ch... | |
| Cartridge loading Raul, it may shock you to learn that my credibility with you or lack thereof is not a matter that concerns me a great deal. We disagree on many many things, and you know that. But you have absolutely no grounds to say that a 47K load on a LOMC c... |
