| VTF gauge Chak, I just looked it up out of my own curiosity and because I could have bought either one last time I was in Tokyo. So there must have been a reason I chose the DS3.DS3 sensitivity .01gDS1 sensitivity 0.1gDS3 more sensitive. | |
| VTF gauge If Chak says so, DS1 must be superior to DS3. 1.6g measured by the DS1 must sound better than 1.6g measured by my DS3. Mea culpa.Mijo, most of the better digital scales come with one or more test weights included. I’ve never seen an error greater ... | |
| VTF gauge Harold, I don’t know what to tell you as regards your experience with the DS3. Your story sounds like a case of magnetic attraction between MC cartridge magnets and the weigh pan of the DS3. Ive tested mine for that problem, and it passes. Otherwi... | |
| Turntable resonance normal? To paraphrase an ancient borscht belt comic’s punch line, so don’t tap it. | |
| VTF gauge Although I paid much more for my Ortofon DS 3, too blue, I am sure you are fine with the Riverstone. Good for you. I bought the Ortofon when I was in Tokyo last spring, and I felt I needed to buy “something” so I could say to myself I got a barg... | |
| VTF gauge By the way, the Shure SFG is among those scales that are faintly magnetic. I own two of them and both misbehave with LOMC cartridges. | |
| VTF gauge The Shure SFG was for decades all we had available. In that regard, surely it is an audio classic. You may want to put it in some sort of Hall of Fame. That would be OK with me. However, now we have inexpensive digital stylus force gauges that are... | |
| Ok guys Scaf, first of all, if you listen to cassette tapes, you shouldn’t be here. But yes; leave them uncovered. | |
| Ready to pull the trigger on a DD turntable: Technics SL-1210GR or Pioneer PLX1000??? +4 | |
| Phono Stage Gain Question Table jockey inferred that you are using a step up transformer into the low gain input of your chinook. When I read your original post, I don’t see that. If you are not using a step up transformer, I am quite surprised that 45 DB is enough gain fo... | |
| Phono Stage Gain Question With the volume control at 1 o’clock you’re not even pushing it at 45db gain. The attenuator is in fact reducing the available signal voltage so as not to blow your head off. So you’re fine.Would help to know the output of the Kiseki cartridge. Is... | |
| Ok guys For my part, I apologize if my last post was a bit rough on Mijo. Everyone should always do what sounds best to that individual. I guess I made my dust cover decision years ago and am now too old to change. | |
| Ok guys Richopp, I did not endorse Kenny G. I included him in a list of things about which people disagree vehemently. If you must know, I regard his music as a particularly brutal form of torture.Mijo, you have an inordinate dust phobia. I am glad your d... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Auto correct got me in that last post. I meant to say, “I THINK what we have here is a failure to communicate.”The quote is from the movie “cool hand Luke”, for those of us who are old enough to remember it. | |
| Ok guys So, suspension per se does not determine the benefit of a dust cover, based on noromance’s testimony. I’m not keeping track any more, but I think there are 3 who use a cover while playing LPs. The rest of us are on the other side of the fence. If ... |
