| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review I agree with the general principle that basic upgrades (like buying a better sounding cartridge or a better sounding anything) are generally a better way to go, in terms of pleasure per dollar, to spending on tweaks (like the Enabler or the SR PDT... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review Chakster, correct me if I’m wrong but the subject of this thread seems to be the OL cartridge enabler, not your personal obsession with certain MM cartridges.If the OP switches to the Hana, which is said to be excellent by those who have heard it,... | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Blue Point Special. | |
| Should I keep the Turntable or sell it? Don’t buy new from foreign dealer on eBay.And BPS is not the best option, to put it as diplomatically as I can. | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? Mijo, Besides your insistence and your claim that the Last products "smell" like Freon, you have presented no evidence for your claim beyond your observation that it evaporates without leaving a residue. I guess we're going in circles, but many s... | |
| Origin live Cartridge Enabler - a review Miller, Do you really, really, really think the SR PHT makes a "significant" improvement in your vinyl reproduction? Sorry for the off-topic diversion. Based on Mijo's description of what the enabler is and is supposed to do, which really ought ... | |
| advice for mono cartridge In practice, who is going to have more than one mono cartridge mounted up and ready for use? Only a mono-phile who hates stereo, and there's not many in that category. So most of us will choose one mono cartridge and live with it. I already men... | |
| advice for mono cartridge I see your point for 78s and late 1940s and I don’t know about 45s of the 50s, but I own nothing in any of those categories. 0.7 mil or exotic nonconical stylus is fine for my needs. And I do insist upon 2 channels of mono output, however it’s ach... | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? It can be kept in the liquid phase when under high pressure, but I agree with your basic point as regards Stylast. | |
| advice for mono cartridge Chakster, To answer your questions:(1) I am not really sure your assumption about compliance applies to ALL true mono cartridges. The fact is that vertical compliance in a mono cartridge is irrelevant, since the motor does not respond to vertica... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Hi thuchan,are you still also using the TT101?if one is going to make a declarative statement about clearaudio vs 927, is it too much to ask that at least the cartridge should be held constant, as well as all downstream equipment? This is coming f... | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? Moreover to benjie’s comment, how does the suggested experiment “prove” that stylast is Freon? There are any number of liquids that evaporate without leaving a residue. I haven’t used stylast for several years. I was skeptical of the idea to use m... | |
| An evening with the Whest PS.30RDT Special Edition Hi Slim,Just reading your post. It's odd to me that no one pointed out the fact that even your unit (a few steps down from Whest's most costly) has an outboard supply, back when this thread was active in 2010-11. I haven't been to the Whest webs... | |
| Real world life expectancy of a high end cartridge? Elizabeth, Have you ever done a side by side comparison? One with Stylast and one without? Of course, you'd have to own two identical cartridges. | |
| advice for mono cartridge That’s valuable testimony. A dichotomy arises because if you switch cartridges then that brings into play the fact that you’re comparing two different cartridges. The mono cartridge might just be better than the stereo one. For each of us the outc... |
