| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Fortunately, the ambient temperature in most of our listening rooms probably does not exceed 1000°C. | |
| Nature of Koetsu carts The Rosewood line of Koetsu cartridges was always known to have a mid range prominent sound. So in my opinion all the responses above are correct. The other models of Koetsu cartridge that are in the same price range or more expensive than the Ro... | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 My point was that a slight sag of the CW on a Victor UA7045 (I agree with you; only a few degrees) confers an advantage vs a sample with a perfectly straight rear end, in that the sag places the center of mass of the CW closer to or in the plane o... | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth Raul, I am surprised that in your post above, you seem to be saying that the platter mat should be "seen but not heard". That's a good goal, but in fact we know that the platter mat is always heard, even if it is heard to be neutral, which is the... | |
| Technics SP series mats? S Bank, You actually put a 4 kg mat on your SP 10 Mk 2? The entire platter of an SP 10 Mk2 weighs something like nine or 10 pounds and of course 4 kg is nearly 9 pounds. so you doubled the mass that had to be driven by the motor and supported by t... | |
| Running a LOMC in MM setting? If I understand correctly that the issue is too much gain via the MC inputs of the Korakotta, then what is saturating is the input stage of whatever is being driven by the Korakotta. There's no problem with the Korakotta except too much gain (for... | |
| Does anything better Jelco arm ~$1000 Chakster, In your post above, you wrote: "If the counterweight is in line with the armwand then you’re fine (on the bad samples the counterweight is bent down)." I am surprised that someone who is such a consistent champion of the Victor UA tonea... | |
| Reed 3P dealer I forgot that I knew that Steve Dobbins is or was a dealer for Reed tonearms. Thanks for reminding me. He is a very nice guy, I agree. | |
| SP10mk2: OMA Graphite plinth vs.Dobbins plinth I would keep in mind that the "CU" mats made by M-S are expensive not merely because of their association with M-S but also because they are made of copper, which is very expensive these days. I recently had a copper platter sheet made for my Ken... | |
| Reed 3P dealer Would you care to name the dealer that has "stock" of Reed tonearms? I kind of want a 10.5-inch 3P with red cedar arm wand and cryo-treated silver wire continuous from headshell to phono input, balanced wiring. What are the odds? | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? Opus, I respect your opinion, but you do realize that you are the one who is in the minority in your dislike of the M – S tonearms. The value of the tone arms in the used market place is a testimony to the fact that both of them are very highly s... | |
| Jelco Easy VTA on the Fly Does anyone here care that someone has co-opted this forum for the sole purpose of selling a product? If you don’t care, I don’t care either. | |
| Reed 3P dealer It would be impossible for any local dealer to keep up with the variations available on Reed tonearms. I think I once counted that there were six types of wood, at least three different finishes, and other options for wiring. If you calculate it ... | |
| How tight do you tighten a record clamp 8.7 Newton.meters of torque. No more; no less. | |
| Micro RX 5000 Renaissance? At least the arguments keep the thread up front for a longer time, which leads to an opportunity for more arguments, which leads to lengthening the life of the thread and the number of posts, which is kind of entertaining. And sometimes informativ... |
