| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus F 9 Ruby has sapphire cantilever. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus On the other hand, like I said earlier, there is nothing "wrong" with deriving mono by internal bridging, in my opinion. Some purists might argue that cancellation of the signal produced by vertical displacement of the cantilever, in such a desig... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Goofy, I did not specifically mention the Cadenza mono cartridge. I was for a time interested in the Quintet mono. If you look at the language they use to describe the Quintet, you would think it is "true mono", i.e., like the Miyajima cartridge... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable Sorry for a bit of nothing, but you wrote, "AC is not safer than DC - that was Edison’s argument...." I interpreted that to mean that Edison argued that AC was safer than DC, which we both know was not the case. I had a feeling you merely made a... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Or you could buy one mono cartridge specifically for vintage (up to very early 50s or late 40s, I am guessing) original mono LPs with a 1.0mil conical stylus (if you have a large number of such records), and use a mono mode switch with a stereo ca... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable Cleeds, As I recall, from reading those very same history books, Edison promoted DC electrical transmission. It was Westinghouse and Tesla, who had left Edison, who promoted AC. Edison infamously electrocuted an elephant in order to demonstrate th... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus One reason for the use of exotic shaped styluses in modern mono cartridges is practicality. Most modern mono cartridges are actually stereo cartridges that are bridged internally to create a mono output in two channels. So, it is very easy for an... | |
| JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES I've become vintage while listening to vintage turntables and other vintage gear. It's a comfort. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Goofyfoot, There is a lot of information on this subject available on the internet, but no matter how much knowledge you acquire (and I do recommend that you acquire more than you have already), there will always be some gray areas and areas where... | |
| JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES My thought was incomplete. When I pack a delicate object for UPS or Fedex, or any shipper, I consider how a frustrated gorilla, given free rein to do everything except open the box, might damage the object. I allow for dropping the box about 6 fe... | |
| JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES By the way, I would blame the persons who packed the turntable, not UPS, for the damage. If done right, the QL10 should have arrived in undamaged condition. For one thing, I would not ship with the dust cover in place on top of the plinth; that ... | |
| JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES The lid is useless anyway, and should be put aside. There are a myriad of choices for new feet, any of which might outperform the originals. (Did they really break all 4 feet? That’s quite a feat.) I use the QL10 plinth but I have added at least 2... | |
| Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible GRG, A phono cartridge is a "reverse motor", in the sense that it converts the physical motion of the cantilever into electrical energy. A motor takes electrical energy and converts it to physical motion. That's the way in which the two can be v... | |
| Cartridges that get strings right? Further following on to Frogman's and Raul's posts, because of the complexity of the sonic signature of even a single violin, let alone a massed array of them, the aural sensation produced in a "live" hall may at times exceed the capacity of music... | |
| Turntable leveling +1 with Glen; level the platter surface and the tonearm mount board or achieve the same degree and direction of error for both. Forgot to bring that up. |
