| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Chakster, I am not sure I get your point. Who is it that confused the graphite Boston Audio record mat for the carbon fiber Yamamoto (or Oyaide, or etc) headshell? In addition to my two Yamamoto CF headshells, I also own the Oyaide one, just to ... | |
| So many great golden era DD tables out there, what do you recommend for $1000? bigkidz,I looked up the Sony 8750 on Vintage Knob. Some photos suggest it has a coreless motor. Do you know whether it does or not? If it does, then maybe it might be a stealth L07D, as you suggest.I don't think anyone would say that a Yamaha GT... | |
| Cartridge upgrade for vintage TT - MM or MC? Nagaoka are excellent, too. | |
| Cartridge upgrade for vintage TT - MM or MC? Please ignore or take with a grain of salt what Roberjerman says about the inductance of MM cartridges. True, the inductance of a typical MM is 1000 to 10,000 times that of a typical MC, but that is not the sole determinant of HF response. If it w... | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators In my opinion, playing LPs under a dust cover induces more sonic degradation in the form of coloration than a tick or pop as forms of noise. In my opinion based on personal experience, of course. The sweep arm idea is an interesting one, however... | |
| Is ground noise really normal? If so, why? Intermediatic, Tonearms (and the vast majority of cartridges) are indiscriminate. You will have four wires from the headshell plug going either to a DIN plug out or some similar output plug. If there is a DIN plug or some other similar type of t... | |
| Is ground noise really normal? If so, why? Ralph, First we need to determine if the OP is truly experiencing noise due to bad grounding. I'm not sure. But in balanced mode, I've never had any audible grounding issue, no matter how sloppy I might be with grounding the tonearm or turntable... | |
| Cartridge options for current gain phonostages (47 Labs) I know nothing about the Phono Cube, but what Chak says is interesting. In voltage world, 75db gain ought to be more than enough for even the MC2000. I can't imagine what cartridge needs 90db.pcosta, What you say about the 75db vs the 90db versi... | |
| Amazing Service from Galibier Turntables Thom is one of the best guys in this business, in all ways. | |
| Is ground noise really normal? If so, why? If you truly own an Ayre P5Xe, you are missing out. You have a true balanced phono stage, and you should be connecting your cartridge to the input in balanced mode. To do that optimally, you want a true balanced phono cable, which is a cable tha... | |
| Vinyl “Pops & Clicks” eliminators I think you can try out a Sugar Cube in your home listening environment before you finalize a purchase. So you can become your own source of expert advice, which is always best. | |
| Cartridge options for current gain phonostages (47 Labs) I've done a bit of studying on "current-driven" phono since you started this thread, Pani. Do you or does Chakster know what is the input resistance/impedance of the Miyabi cartridge that makes it such a good candidate for current drive? Cartrid... | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. My secret is that I buy headshells in Tokyo where the prices are about 33% lower than eBay. | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Nandric, I know that we both think clearly, at least. | |
| Testing the Yamamoto HS-4 Carbon Fiber headshell. Serbians are particularly acute, I hear. |
