| Just bought Technics SL1000 MK3 need to buy/borrow platter removal tools If you're referring to using an adhesive surface under the Boston Audio Mat1 or 2, I presume you used double-sided tape. Which is what I did on my Lenco platter to fix the BA Mat2. My only reason for doing so was that I feared the mat could othe... | |
| Cartridge new or used ? To answer the actual question, none of us is qualified to judge the difference in appearance between a new stylus and one that is lightly worn. No matter how powerful the microscope. That takes experience and skill. Also, most brick and mortar dea... | |
| Anyone in or near Ann Arbor? I gather you are connecting the unknown phono stage to a line level input on your Allnic integrated. Yes? If so, it's highly unlikely that your apparently odd result has anything to do with the interface between the phono stage and the Allnic, a... | |
| Micro Seiki MA-505 variants - any oracles around? Wow! Impressive knowledge of that subject. I once owned what was at least a Mk II version and foolishly sold it without ever having used it. I would only add that for the Japanese, "S" is not always an indication of silver wire. For example, the... | |
| FR64 cartridge suggestions I will hold off on bothering Colby, if you think Tien will get it done. How do I get on his "list"? | |
| FR64 cartridge suggestions Rich, You can buy silver cartridge leads on eBay. They are a product of either Yamamoto or Oyaide; in other words, the source is reputable. No need to purchase an entire headshell. In fact, I don’t know of any of the better Japanese-made headshell... | |
| FR64 cartridge suggestions Forgot to say, happy new year. | |
| FR64 cartridge suggestions Nandric knows this through my personal communication with him, but after I stated that my B60 was functioning perfectly, I found out two things about it: first, mine also can move back-and-forth a few millimeters in the horizontal direction, but t... | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? By the way, if you don’t like the idea of an extra pair of ICs in order to incorporate the KAB filter, you could hard solder the device in-line with your preferred phono ICs. That would satisfy even a purit zealot. | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? Louis, with whom are you arguing? None of us is against the idea. Many older phono stage designs, especially from japan, DID incorporate a rumble filter. So if you really want that feature, find one of those. American products from around the 197... | |
| Mounting a cartridge Do you own a stylus force gauge and any sort of protractor for establishing geometry? | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? What I said. | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon Invictus, Your and Chakster’s zeal for MM cartridges over all else is in my opinion just as misplaced as is Raul’s recent conversion to the religion of the moving coil cartridge. Your blanket statement that any cheap MM can outperform any high-en... | |
| Kuzma/Koetsu feedbak?? Orenstein, sorry if I muddied the water by mentioning the Doehmann and the Kronos. I am completely out of touch with the prices for the Kuzma models that you are considering, but I suspect that both of those alternative turntables are way more ex... | |
| Why don't all phono preamps include a rumble filter? There are many purist types who would reject the notion of using a rumble filter for just the reason that you suggest in passing. Which is to say the filter can degrade sound quality. After all, the simplest filter you can construct would be a p... |
