| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dimitri, thank you for your input. You undoubtedly have a greater understanding of the physics than any of the rest of us. However, you need to be aware that there is no common agreement about what is the proper outcome of using damping or not us... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Cleeds, with all due respect, can you consider the condition where there is no friction between the stylus and the groove? Can you tell me where the skating force would come from if that were the case? Are you capable of thinking this through to i... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Cleeds, The fact that you cannot see the forest for the trees does not make me wrong. Of course headshell offset angle and other reasons for lack of tangency of the cantilever to the groove are what results in the skating force but there would be ... | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Also centrifugal force, if there were such a thing, has nothing to do with the skating force. | |
| Does removing anti-skating really improve sound? Genez, Many others have noted, and I agree, that using a groove-less LP may be a good way to demonstrate skating but it is not useful for setting AS, because in real life the cause of the skating force is friction in the groove. Friction on smooth... | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? By the way, I have not owned an XLM since the early 1970s. I found it to be lacking. But it was all the rage for a year or two back then. | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? Chakster, but who are you to declare what is the value of this or that cartridge or tonearm? No one single person can do that. Your opinion is just one of many and has no more stature than anyone else’s with any expertise. In fact I can recall one... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus The force between the magic eraser and the stylus and cantilever should be equal to the VTF . Unless the stylus snags the magic eraser. But I don’t think that can happen, if you don’t move either the stylus or the magic eraser in the horizontal p... | |
| BP Audio amplifier (Nelson Pass clone)? How would they get hold of genuine Nelson pass printed circuit boards? Or are you simply saying they pirate his circuits, many of which are available in the public domain? | |
| ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER? I don’t know for sure where ADC cartridges were manufactured, but I do recall back in the 70s that the ADC XLM and itS progenitors were much much cheaper in the US than in Europe. In fact at one point when I had to go to London for a scientific c... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus I used LAST for many years with no problems. But then I got a very nice table top microscope. Examining the stylus tip after cleaning by various methods reveals to me that magic eraser is much better. However , I think it would be very dangerous ... | |
| Ugh....dropped the stylus on the platter Forgeddaboudit.Although this is a good excuse to replace that Sumiko. | |
| Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge X-axis, not y-axis.my bad | |
| Is a PTP Solid 12 (Lenco) worthy of a $5k cartridge Dodge, I bought my L75 NOS only about 10 years ago for $300. You can still buy a mint L75 for $500 or less. The motor will run forever, and if it doesn't, there's a huge source of information on how to rebuild them on Lenco Lovers website. Ever... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? For every phono stage I have ever examined, the "re-work" requires de-soldering the 47K resistors and then soldering 100K resistors in their place. That does require removing the top of the chassis for access. Gold Note understandably wants to di... |
