| Curved and Straight Tonearms What "game" was changed by Rega pick-up arms?I agree that the modern trend is definitely in favor of straight pipes. | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? FWIW, I use an aftermarket DIN to RCA phono cable on my FR64S with solid silver wiring. My FR64S has the "silver inside" decal, so I thought it would be interesting to go all the way with silver. An eBay vendor sold me the wires for a very reaso... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms Somehow, the OP's actual question about pivoted tonearms with straight vs curved arm tubes (or "wands") got completely lost as the discussion turned to turntable and speaker mass. But most of the main points were made.(1) As others mentioned, if ... | |
| Koetsu surprise It is said that the FR64S and 66S are great matches for the Koetsu cartridges. It is also said that the FR headshells are not so great, so I would consider finding another headshell to use with the FR/Koetsu combo. But high tonearm effective mas... | |
| Vintage DIN phono cables, any good? The Kenwood L07J tonearm on my L07D turntable pretty much mandates that you use its supplied cables, because of the one-off connector built into the base of the L07J. Inside is what Kenwood deemed to be state of the art Litz-type wire, in around ... | |
| Audia Flight FL phono vs Avid Pulsare There are many excellent phono stages, both tube and SS, that may provide the incisiveness you seek. I would not agree that only SS phono stages can sound "incisive". (There is another discussion around what that term means applied to a phono sta... | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. You are known to me as a polyglot. This is why I did not mention any specific language. I would not know which language you consider to be "native", the language spoken by your parents, perhaps. Serbo-Croatian? If ever there were two peoples di... | |
| Audia Flight FL phono vs Avid Pulsare Pani, Is it my imagination or do you change gear a lot? Not that there is anything wrong with that. My point would be that by being the good listener that you are and also by auditioning quite a wide array of very good quality equipment in your ... | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. Nandric, There must be an equivalent in your language of "the devil is in the details". | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. The question, Nandric, is why you think the Lord gives a darn. For me, it's is there a Lord at all. | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. Vindanpar, I don't think that you should conclude the situation is hopeless. Are the two units plugged into the same electrical output or into different outlets? Make sure they are plugged into the same outlet. Also, try using a cheater plug to... | |
| Any Allnic users out there? Hum problem. I have long wondered about the philosophy behind marketing the HA3000 as an add-on to the H3000. The latter unit is revered for its very high quality built-in amorphous core SUTs that also offer quite a bit of adjustability. Why create the idea... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I had a moment of doubt myself. Google seemed to indicate "Jonathan", but my instinct told me "John". I obviously chose Google over instinct. Today Google agrees with you and my instinct as well. I don't know what I was looking at yesterday. D... | |
| How good is the Obsidian plinth of Technics SP10 ? I guess here is where I pipe in to say that I commissioned the construction of a slate slab, 19x23x3 inches, to fit the Mk3 chassis. I had a hole cut right through the slate large enough to allow me to position just about any tonearm. Then I had... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? PS. No need to do the Jonathan Cleese imitation. But do bring the parrot with you. |
