| Stylus force digital scales Cleeds,Imagine that you are the stylus tip. With the arm wand parallel to the LP surface, someone has set VTF for 1.5gm. Now imagine that you encounter a record warp that lifts you up in the air by a few mm during each revolution of the LP. Sin... | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? I am raising my hand.But I also run a ZYX UNIverse and love it too, on a different turntable. | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Pani, What happened? You were a major avid fan of the ART9.As to your present question, from what I hear about the Jelco, it would be an OK match with the A90. The thing to do is to decide what you want in a cartridge, the A90 or the Windfield. ... | |
| Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long smcg, Your post made me laugh. The idea of water "degrading". So I assume you perhaps refer to the container. But if it was/is made of glass, that too is unlikely. | |
| Stylus force digital scales Folkfreak, There are many digital scales on the market that feature non-magnetic weigh pans. You are quite correct that any scale with a ferrous weigh pan would give an inaccurate measure of VTF and might even result in damage to the cartridge su... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Dear Raul,I am very happy to hear that you and your family are OK, and at the same time, I am sad for others in your country who are suffering so terribly. I will do what I can to support them.Dear Inna, For me, the goal of the plinth is to elimin... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) My criterion for condition of a used LP is flawless surfaces on both sides, and they should reflect light pretty well, too. Early on in my purchasing of used LPs, I would tolerate a scratch here and there or other signs of wear, but that proved t... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Chakster, I don't understand your predicament, quite. Over the course of time, some of the best quality LPs ever produced came to us from Europe. In the good old days, my buddy and I used to look long and hard over here (typically at the now def... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor Thanks, Jmcg. My bad. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Inna, Yes, I grossly UNDERestimated the total cost for 100 really good tapes. Likewise, you horribly OVERestimated the cost for a like number of select LPs. I never ever pay more than $25 per, and by far most of my LP purchases are less than $10... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor Dear cetla, Whom are you addressing? Has someone offered to lend out a Feickert protractor for home trial? If you live in Wheaton, MD, you are welcome to come and take a look at mine, but I would rather not lend it out. I could show you how it ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Dear Nandric,Even if I never used the L07D, I would not part with it. However, I am not going to live forever, so perhaps you should become friends with my wife, who does not play LPs and whose mother lived to age 96. She will have a lot of stuff... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Before now, an SP10 Mk3 complete and in good to excellent working condition would have been worth about $10K to $12K, sans any plinth. I think the introduction of the SP10R into the market place will drive the value of the Mk3 down below the 5-fi... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Not surprising that an ART9 would completely crush a Grado MCZ. MCZ was noticeably inferior to Grado TLZ and XTZ, 30 years ago, to my ears in my system, of course. (I don't mean to sound snotty, but maybe I do. Sorry.) I still have the TLZ, bu... | |
| I have a Grace F9 Ruby and Signet TK 10ML on the way I have two Ruby cartridges. One still has its original elliptical stylus. The other one I purchased with no cantilever at all, at a suitably low price. (OEM stylus/cantilever carrier assembly was included but with no cantilever.) The cartridge bod... |
