| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC To the OP, I would not be too quick to blame perceived sibilance on the new cable. There are a myriad of other causes, such as VTA, VTF, the cartridge by nature, etc., that may contribute to or cause sibilance. It’s possible that the superior per... | |
| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC Sleepwalker, So we can agree not to “scare” people. Your point about letting people experiment for themselves was exactly mine. I wondered whether you were quoting me in fact. The OP just needed to know that he would do no harm to his system by... | |
| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC Just try it.if you like it , it’s good.Sleepwalker, in theory you’re correct about the importance of shielding, but in specific cases it adds nothing except unwanted capacitance. You generally cannot have “ultra” low capacitance AND shielding in t... | |
| Vinyl vs high def audio i.e. 24bit / 96 or 192khz I’m wondering how that conductor was able to correct a musician on a note at 12,000 cps, when there is no musical instrument that produces primary tones at that high a frequency. the very top key on a piano is only eight or 9000 cps. So although ... | |
| Question for Platter spinners regarding IC There is absolutely no possible way to harm anything by trying one pair of ICs versus another between the tonearm and your phono stage. It is sad, however, that a company like audioquest, which makes audiophile interconnects, does not list the cap... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Would like to have MF2500 Astatic | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I knew the highly regarded MM and MI would disappear from the market, back when we were in the “cartridge of the week” phase of this thread, so I was buying any that interested me back then, especially NOS. Spare NOS OEM styli too, when I found them. | |
| Why do these Zyx Fuji and Airy 3 have such a dark sound? Jace, You may be with the OP emotionally, but your experience has no bearing on his. After re-reading this thread, because your post bumped it up to the front, I note that no one asked the OP about his Rega turntable. The lesser Rega turntables ar... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? It amazes me that I can learn something new every time I visit this thread. I’d never heard of the 4000DV, but I have a real soft spot for MI or IM cartridges. Travbrow, I like the 320s way better than the 420, but keep in mind that after 4-5 year... | |
| Realy new cartridge ? I’ve seen this post before but maybe not the same poster. Use common sense that applies when you make any purchase in this price range. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Travbrow, sounds like Empire followed the Acutex program. The Acutex 300 series are induced magnet types (with titanium cantilevers and nude exotic styli); Whereas the later 400 series are MM. I’m still very fond of the 320 models; I own both an L... | |
| How low of the cartridge output the Allnic H3000 can handle? Not many here have extensive experience with the H3000, evidently.why not ask the US distributor? Are you using the low output version of the ZYX cartridge? If so those cartridges have about the same output as a platinum version Koetsu. So there s... | |
| Phoenix Engineering Roadrunner Otherwise any similar size and shape magnet would probably do. | |
| stanton str 8 80 ? And I’m just saying please read my post with a more open mind. The tonearm is not “short”; it’s designed to underhang the spindle. All such tonearms can be shorter than any overhung tonearm and do function just fine. The geometry is not “unknown”.... | |
| stanton str 8 80 ? Chakster originally you were critical of the Stanton tonearm because of its short length and lack of headshell offset angle. I am saying that the tonearm fits into a class of underhung tone arms, and that such tonearms have a great deal of merit ... |
