| Stylus not tracking and sounds terrible Most modern automobiles can go at least 10,000 miles between oil changes. Just so, it is no stretch of the imagination to think of a phonograph cartridge as a motor. It converts mechanical energy of the cantilever into an electrical signal. As in... | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part Based on my prior experience with re-tooling for Fidelity research and technics products, I guessed earlier that it is metric. 25 threads per inch is just about one thread per millimeter, which is a standard for metric. The thread pitch is 1.0. O... | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part Ummm... Chak, I was just trying to be funny. And I partially disagree with that definition of "thingamajig", having heard and used the term since the 1950s. It refers to an object the correct term for which one either cannot recall at that momen... | |
| How many turntable’s have you owned? Hold it, Dave. Turntables only. | |
| Need RCA loading plugs Steve, Does your Einstein provide two pairs of phono inputs that are in parallel with each other, electrically? That's the only case for which the simple solution offered here would work, simply. Otherwise, you would have to piggy back one RCA p... | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part I am becoming unstable just reading this thread. Or maybe the correct term is "de-stabilized". But then, I am not a "stable genius".Having spent a great deal of time in Tokyo, owing to the fact that our dear son has chosen to make Japan his home, ... | |
| KD 500 w/ Grace 707 arm. Stylus type. Guys, the tonearm the OP is going to use does not afford azimuth adjustment. That is what he is talking about. So he therefore believes he should select a stylus shape that is relatively tolerant of inaccurate azimuth adjustment. He could do two t... | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part That's a very kind offer from Chakster. | |
| Roadrunner reapearance For the record, I thought Mantis was talking about driving a wall wart and controlling the motor with the wall wart on the output side of the PE-sourced gear. This was based on my initial misunderstanding of the verbal diagram posted by Mantis. T... | |
| Roadrunner reapearance Depends upon what is going on with the wall wart, but in general I would guess that a wall wart is not compatible with the Phoenix engineering system. | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part I typed the word “BY” when I meant of course of Buy, in my post above. Most likely this happened because I am speaking into the phone, rather than trying to type with my big fat fingers.Dover, I certainly could be wrong, but I think the OP is look... | |
| How many turntable’s have you owned? Is it that you just wanted to be able to say that you started a thread on this forum? | |
| Help me with a Fidelity Research FR64 part It’s likely to be metric.You could by a thread gauge and possibly luck out with a standard metric pitch. A caliper will give you the diameter. | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Ideally, the input impedance for a "current driven" phono stage would indeed be zero ohms, but that is impossible to achieve in the real world (because the signal voltage would be completely lost to ground). As a result, most present at least a 2... | |
| New Gold Note PH 10 Uber, I think that ("wasting" a grand) every time I buy something audio-related, because I already have SOOOO much stuff here. (For example, I just spent slightly upwards of a grand on yet another vintage phono cartridge, when I already have 3-4 ... |
