| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Stringreen, Bob is a very reputable guy by all accounts I have read, I agree. But he does SELL step-up transformers. He would have to be a saint in order to provide a truly unbiased opinion. Anyway, the point is that the "right" answer is there... | |
| Listening impressions of two tonearm wires Robob, The problem you cite, regarding the difficulty associated with home trials, is one reason why I went heavily into DIY starting about 20 years ago. I make my own interconnects and AC cords, and it's very rewarding in the sense that I don't ... | |
| Momentus Footers Repair Needed Raul uses them, or used them, under the naked chassis of his SP10 Mk2 motor unit, which is not very heavy by itself. I agree; they are good feet.I don't know where you are located, but there are machinists in the US who are empathetic with audioph... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Raul, who is known for the MM thread here, owns an 801 and really likes it. Perhaps he would be able to help with the specs. But there is also no harm in just listening to the combination of 801 and Urushi. It's quite likely to be just fine. Si... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi I think if you re-read the posts above, you will find answers to at least some of your questions. (You seem to have added a few in this last post.) Now that you have made it more clear that you prefer to use the Liberty phono stage, I suggest you... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Sorry. I wrote: "Your internal argument seems to be based on wanting to provide less of a load resistance..." Actually, you want a higher load R which is less of a load. Hence the confusion of my earlier sentence. The higher the value of the loa... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Dear Quincy, Contrary to your assertion, the Urushi and other Koetsu's have a rather "high" output signal voltage, compared to many other expensive LOMC cartridges. It's from 0.4 to 0.6mV, depending upon which stylus velocity you use as standard.... | |
| Listening impressions of two tonearm wires My opinion is that words are words. In the end, one really has to rely upon one's own opinion of any audio gear, when installed in one's own system. I have auditioned many items once loved by HP. Through this experience, I learned that HP's desc... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Thanks, Nandric. I too do not subscribe rigidly to the "rules" about matching cartridge compliance to tonearm effective mass, but just like the rumor that the Urushi is a painted Rosewood, there is a rumor that the FR64S is a really good match wi... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi Nandric, Where have you ever heard or read that the Urushi is a "painted Rosewood"? That runs completely contrary to all that I have read about the two models, as regards their respective sonic characteristics. When it was introduced in fact, th... | |
| Getting The Most Out Of A Koetsu Urushi There are a lot of questions contained in your two paragraphs, and I cannot take the time to sort them all out, but I have owned a Koetsu Urushi for about 10 years. I have used it exclusively with a phono stage that has enough gain such that I do... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Larry, Some speakers DO suck, obviously. Madavid, You don't HAVE to do a damn thing, if it irks you. Among the rest of us, you will have launched yet another sidebar on what protractors are used, if any, how often one adjusts or checks adjustmen... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Madavid is now living under an assumed name in Uruguay or Moldavia.My feelings as regards the last few posts between Luiz and Chakster is that both are correct. Based on my admittedly limited experience there IS a big difference between "low cost... | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? "Whether", not "wether". Unless there's a change in the weather.Otherwise, this thread is just BS. | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? Next time you find an SP10 Mk3 in a dumpster, call me immediately and I will have it removed to a safe place in my house, at no cost to anyone.No, it is not anyone's contention that "all modern engineering techniques and materials have little to n... |
