| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not +1 on Audio Note silver Litz wire, if that’s what Frogman meant. But I would not pay a small fortune for it. Audio note tends to be over pricey. | |
| Upgrade from Sumiko Blue Point #2 But I almost guarantee that the Clearaudio is made in Japan. | |
| Sony PUA 7 to re-wire or not Good tonearm for the TTS8000. I'd say go for it. | |
| Upgrade from Sumiko Blue Point #2 In my opinion, any of those mentioned so far will outperform your Sumiko BPS. It might help if you explicitly state your budget for this purchase, but it's not rocket science in any case. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Level II is upgrade of F8. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus F 9 Ruby has sapphire cantilever. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus On the other hand, like I said earlier, there is nothing "wrong" with deriving mono by internal bridging, in my opinion. Some purists might argue that cancellation of the signal produced by vertical displacement of the cantilever, in such a desig... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Goofy, I did not specifically mention the Cadenza mono cartridge. I was for a time interested in the Quintet mono. If you look at the language they use to describe the Quintet, you would think it is "true mono", i.e., like the Miyajima cartridge... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable Sorry for a bit of nothing, but you wrote, "AC is not safer than DC - that was Edison’s argument...." I interpreted that to mean that Edison argued that AC was safer than DC, which we both know was not the case. I had a feeling you merely made a... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Or you could buy one mono cartridge specifically for vintage (up to very early 50s or late 40s, I am guessing) original mono LPs with a 1.0mil conical stylus (if you have a large number of such records), and use a mono mode switch with a stereo ca... | |
| Need to adjust the speed every time I turn on turntable Cleeds, As I recall, from reading those very same history books, Edison promoted DC electrical transmission. It was Westinghouse and Tesla, who had left Edison, who promoted AC. Edison infamously electrocuted an elephant in order to demonstrate th... | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus One reason for the use of exotic shaped styluses in modern mono cartridges is practicality. Most modern mono cartridges are actually stereo cartridges that are bridged internally to create a mono output in two channels. So, it is very easy for an... | |
| JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES I've become vintage while listening to vintage turntables and other vintage gear. It's a comfort. | |
| Mono Reissues and the Conical Stylus Goofyfoot, There is a lot of information on this subject available on the internet, but no matter how much knowledge you acquire (and I do recommend that you acquire more than you have already), there will always be some gray areas and areas where... | |
| JVC TT101 QL 10 PLINTH ISSUES My thought was incomplete. When I pack a delicate object for UPS or Fedex, or any shipper, I consider how a frustrated gorilla, given free rein to do everything except open the box, might damage the object. I allow for dropping the box about 6 fe... |
