| Phono cable advice. Whatever you buy, this is what you want in a phono cable (or in any RCA to RCA cable for that matter, if possible): Since the cartridge is an inherently balanced device that is treated as single-ended when using RCA to RCA connection into a singl... | |
| Milky white deposit on cantilever/stylus of NOS Signet TK10ML, still in original box, etc. I have been trying to post some responses without success. So far as I can tell, boron is relatively inert. It does not oxidize readily, therefore. The item was in a factory sealed box or package all this time. I am wondering whether due to ch... | |
| Platter mat insanity Resomat, anyone? | |
| Platter mat insanity noromance, The intent of my post was not to suggest that you purchase a Resomat. I was merely trying to point out that possibly the inadvertant effect of leaving the strobe disc on your platter, thereby raising the LP off the surface of the mat, ... | |
| Platter mat insanity Have you ever heard of the "Resomat", made by Trans-fi in England? Contrary to most dogma, it raises the LP above the platter on a bunch of rubber tips. This permits the LP to resonate freely. That mat has a loyal following. So, maybe you are i... | |
| Audio Technica AT ML-180 Cartridge Advice Ya gotta love the banter on this thread. | |
| Best vintage DD turntables from the 70's and 80's? bimasta, Biggest difference between M-S DDX1000 and DQX1000, in addition to all the other differences you point out, is that the latter has a quartz-referenced speed control, whereas the DDX does not. A very important difference. | |
| Phono cable advice. Dollar for dollar, I have found nothing better than Anti-cables, at several different price points. Anti-cables only recently started making phono cables, by which I refer to cables terminated at one end with a Cardas DIN plug and at the other en... | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? bringgeld, I have had some experience with the Cary SLP98 in my home system. With all respect to the Cary, I would say safely that it cannot be in the same league with the Herron, given the number of experienced guys who adore the Herron. Same g... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Raul, Granted everything you just wrote above, and with all due respect, what is your point? | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Moonglum, You wrote: "BTW...your Triplanar has a connector at each end of the phono cable. All you have done is reduced the number of connectors not eliminated them."Without a doubt, what you say is true. Would you expect me to solder the tonearm ... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Never said anything about a 3012R. Never owned any SME tonearm. | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Henry, John is a mechanical engineer. I don’t think he has a degree related to electronics. Yes, he knows more about tonearm geometry than I or anyone else on VA or here. Period. If we must get into a pissing contest about who knows more about wha... | |
| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? Henry, Sorry, but in my opinion, you and John Ellison are wrong. "Wrong" in the sense that your and his analysis is very incomplete. "Signal loss" due to R is not the only thing to consider when comparing transmission along a single piece of wire ... | |
| Loricraft Garrard 301 to Dobbins Sp10 Mk3 - What can I expect ? Ferrari, thank you for the correction. After I wrote what I wrote, I started questioning myself also as to the identity of the motor used in the Kondo the Beat turntable. One glance will tell you that the platter is different from that of a Mark 3... |
