| First, Fix Your Skull Hairy ears are also bad.Shape of ears and cartilaginous geography also.There may be a market for nanoquantum pinna surgery. | |
| Deciding on new TT and either a Zephyr MIMC vs an Audio Technica ART9 The notion that the lower moving mass of a moving iron type cartridge inevitably makes it superior to a moving coil type is appealing, but there are no real data to support it. I admit that I too find that I like the sound of most moving iron car... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? You do what you do, and I will do what I do. I just wanted to present both sides of the story. I haven’t change my opinion, which is based on real world experience. And I’m sure you feel the same way. | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? Dust covers are a strict nono for use during play. They’re fine for protection against dust when one is not listening to vinyl. They don’t protect against airborne vibration, rather, they amplify airborne vibration by vibrating themselves and then... | |
| How good is the Micro Seiki DDX-1000 Direct Drive turntable ? The DQX models featured quartz referenced speed control. That’s an upgrade vs DDX.The tonearms mount essentially on the footers, as in some other MS designs. That’s not good for isolation.The platter is very light weight compared to others of the ... | |
| At what price point do I run into diminishing returns on an MC Cartridge? Chakster and Edgeware, I own both an MC7500 and an MC2000. Just recently I was able to borrow a current-driven phono input for the MC2000; prior to that none of my phono stages had enough gain to make the MC2000 "live". And I don't own, nor ever... | |
| Cartridge loading Now try 47K and work downward from that value until you’re happiest. | |
| VPI's new "Vanquish" Ultra High-End turntable is a STUNNER! I guess that sums it up nicely. | |
| Turntable isolation platforms Miller has a right idea, IMO. | |
| Turntable mat options That must be it. | |
| Turntable isolation platforms I think if looks are important, Adona gives a lot of bang for buck. Otherwise, I would not spend big bucks. | |
| Turntable mat options Mijostyn, Please tell me: Since you cannot play a record without a cartridge and tonearm, how would you ever know when a cartridge and tonearm have "no sound". Compared to what? Or do you have the power to look at the groove patterns and thereby... | |
| Phono cartridge suggestions sought I am not sure I would recommend a vintage cartridge (many of the best of which will cost $1000 and more) to a person who is new to the hobby or is just now trying to upgrade for the first time. Because one cannot be sure of the condition of the s... | |
| Need advice on new TT Of the 3 you actually prefer, Kronos. | |
| Simaudio 810lp vs. Brinkmann Edison phono stage Raul, I have no comment on your other statements, but 600 to 1000 ohms is not really a problem for driving almost any amplifier one might want to use, including solid state types. Not many amplifiers present an input impedance below 10K ohms. Ev... |
