| lush cartridge under $1500 used(?) Do you care about output voltage? There are many very good MM or MI cartridges that can be said to be "lush". Do you care about compliance? Need more info. | |
| AC power supply for Nottingham Analogue If you can still find a Phoenix Engineering power supply floating around, go for it, with or without the "Roadrunner" device that allows you to lock on to platter speed. (But do also get a Roadrunner, if you can find one.) I'm using these with m... | |
| Why does unplugging/replugging TT leads from tube phono pre-amp reset dead channel? None of the glitches you discovered leads to an easy explanation for what you experienced, in my opinion, but it's good that you found them. And it's even better that you are now able to listen for longer periods without that aggravating problem,... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, Please give me a break. In recounting the history of the SR71, I was only intending to inform the group about this important piece of aviation history. I've had a fascination for the SR71 ever since I saw photos of it and read about it ... | |
| Soundsmith Aida vs Hana sh The OP wrote "SH". I guess it was my mistake to start referring to it as "HL". Thanks for the correction, oharchie. Happy New Year to all. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, The "spy plane" to which you refer is the SR71 "Blackbird". I have seen one at the Air and Space Museum here in Washington, DC. It's a beautiful piece of art. Perhaps the titanium came from Russia, but the Blackbird could fly higher and... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, What is "sh***t"? I cannot think of an obscenity that starts with SH and then has 3 letters and ends in T, in English.Nandric, The titanium spy plane to which you refer is the SR70, also known as "The Blackbird". I have seen one at the... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Ghosthouse, You wrote, "Only on the final application above the spindle do I hold the trigger, move the gun away from the TT and then release it while aimed at the carpet or whatever. I do it quickly too...no reason for concern about quick discha... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Am I correct in surmising that most of us are using the "hold the trigger in then release slowly as you move the gun away from the LP" method? Seems like ghosthouse does. Yesterday, I searched Youtube for videos like the one cited above. There ... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Islandman, We differ in the sense that I do think a Zerostat can work to do the job for which it is intended. My only point is that I don't know whether MY Zerostat is still working after more than 40 years, and I certainly don't know if a Chines... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Dear Andy, Thanks for the lecture on how to behave on audio websites. I would have rather thought that it is fun to behave as if we are all friends to begin with, and we are sitting around having a discussion over a hypothetical beer. In my expe... | |
| MM preamp I am not sure what you are getting at. There is no way to get around the need for RIAA correction; that's what any phono stage does, MM or other. The only alternative to using an MM phono stage (meaning a phono stage with gain sufficient only fo... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Yes, I am now running the ART7 into a Manley Steelhead which directly feeds the direct-drive amplifiers of my Beveridge 2SW speakers (and also the outboard woofers that are Transmission Line types driven from a Dahlquist low pass crossover, at ~80... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? To Gromitinwa and the OP: I apologize if you found my response to be offensive. I was only having fun. I use a white Zerostat that I bought in England in 1972, still to this day. I often wonder whether it still works, because when I do occasio... | |
| Zerostat: Old is Gold? Do you seriously think anyone knows whether a new Xerostat made in China works any better or worse than one made in England a decade or longer ago? A scientific comparison could be made, but I doubt that it has been made. I await other responses. |
