| Sony PS-X9 Jose', I certainly did not mean to cast aspersions on either the Basis turntables or the Verdier. They are both worthy. Mr Verdier passed away a few years ago, so the Platine may in fact start to accumulate some collector value or at least it ma... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? What I would want to know, if I was in the market for changing out wall outlets in order to change the tonal balance of my audio system, is what is the science behind ANY of the claims made by SR? From what I can see on the SR website as regards t... | |
| JVC TT-101 Won't Stop I'm too lazy to look at the video you quote, but the switch for "run" or "hold" makes no change to function quality. It only alters the read-out of the tachometer, in the ways that you have already discovered. I found the "run" display to be a bi... | |
| A Night with three phono stages Allnic 1202, ANK and GoldNote PH10 Thx, Ketchup. If 71 db is available, that would handle even an Ortofon MC2000 with .05mV output at the standard stylus velocity. (Ask me how I know.) My Steelhead maxes out at 65db and the MC2000 is marginal with that much gain. At those levels... | |
| A Night with three phono stages Allnic 1202, ANK and GoldNote PH10 Can anyone enlighten me? I found this sentence in the Gold Note ad copy on AA:"PH-10 can be set with 4 different GAIN levels [-3dB, 0dB, +3dB, 6dB] to match precisely the output level of any MM or MC cartridge." That would leave a 9db spread bet... | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important sbank, Thanks. I was too lazy to Google it. Raul, sorry. | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important Raul, Before now, I thought your favored alignment geometry is Baerwald. And isn't Baerwald equivalent to Lofgren B, not A? Surprised to read here that you strive for A.I think one reason this topic is controversial relates to a point that Raul ... | |
| Sony PS-X9 The Basis 2500 and the Platine Verdier, while they are both worthy modern-ish belt drive turntables, are not in the spirit of what we have been talking about, at all. I don't exactly know what just transpired regarding a turntable for sale on Yah... | |
| What are "true" balanced connectors The plus and minus halves of the signal can float with respect to ground. Or not. | |
| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) Chak, If the stylus on that ATN170 assembly needs replacement, then what is the benefit to having it at all to go along with a complete ML150 cartridge? You could theoretically rebuild the ML150 stylus assembly to the same SS level as rebuilding ... | |
| Heaviest Headshell? I remember the earlier Decca cartridges, the 4R and SC4E. They were big, heavy, and noncompliant. It is hard to imagine that those didn’t gouge the grooves, but they had a devoted following. I still own an SC4E, which I would not think of actually... | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important But you certainly don’t have to buy the analog magic hoo-hah or a smartractor, in order to have good tools for the job. | |
| Vinyl heresy-overhang induced distortion is not that important In my opinion, you need to set up the cartridge properly with very good tools, and then find out for yourself if you think it makes a difference. This thread is a collection of anecdotal subjective impressions. | |
| Heaviest Headshell? I am using an Ortofon LH 9000 headshell with my Koetsu Urushi. The headshell weighs 18 g. But it costs a lot less than $300. To that you could always add more weight by various methods as you know. Your cartridge must be remarkably low in compliance. | |
| Heaviest Headshell? Certain FR headshells can exceed 20g easily. You’ve glued 3 quarters to a 20g Ikeda? What cartridge? |
