| 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... | |
| Denon DK300 Dust cover Broken My point is that you can protect your turntable from dust, when it's not in use, by any of several methods, including just cover it with a disposable cloth. But while you are playing an LP, at least I and many others have found that the typical l... | |
| Cartridge loading Raul, with due respect, I don’t think you took the time to understand what I wrote about damping. Since then, Ralph, Dave, and a third person have pretty much corroborated my idea, although all 3 explained it at a more sophisticated level. Thanks ... | |
| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? Chakster is not operating from a USA-centric prospective. | |
| Inner groove distortion solved! What's the point of getting anal about anti-skate, once one has arrived at a value that avoids grossly audible distortions? Every single LP will be different at the minute level, and no LP will be exactly like any test LP. Joey, I'd say, if you'... | |
| Question about TT Power Connections I don't know that it's a given fact that power cords make an audible difference on turntables, but if that is your belief, then I don't see a problem with using an IEC connection, although I tend to avoid them when I have the option of hard-wiring... | |
| Best tonerarm match for Acutex M320 III STR cartridge I love the Acutex 320STR III, and I have used it on my Dynavector DV505 and (believe it or not) on my Fidelity Research FR64S, where it really should not work because of the high compliance/high effective mass mismatch. I did use a lightweight (8 ... | |
| Assistance Identifying an Ikeda Cartridge Ok. Do that. | |
| MM Cartridge for music on the heavier side Chakster, I wish I knew where you shopped if you can find NOS Pickering, Stanton, AT , etc vintage MM/MI, at any price with such ease. | |
| Assistance Identifying an Ikeda Cartridge I sent a photo of the cartridge with the kanji label to my son who lives in Tokyo and is a scholar in Japanese. Here is his response: "I think it says “Tsuji” which is just a family name. I can tell you it has no functional meaning in terms of w... |
