| Klyne 7PX question Nandric, How do you like the Klyne in comparison to your other high end solid state phono stage? I find my tweaked 6LX to be first rate as a linestage and therefore great when coupled with one of my preferred tube phono stages. But as a stand alo... | |
| why do some turntables have multiple tonearms? Interesting to note that this thread lay dormant for seven years. Maybe because the possible responses are so obvious. The OP's question is almost in the nature of a troll. Anyway, my response is "Duh!". | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Or add a resistance in parallel with the 300K resistor that would bring the net resistance down to 100K. 150K ohms would do it. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Pani, You could replace the 300K ohm resistor with 100K ohms, or have Dave do it for you. Then the cartridge would "see" a 250 ohm load. Easy, peasie. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks, Peter. I will look forward to seeing photos of the DP80 mechanicals in the DN308-type plinth. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Peter, You seem to have taken a very different tack with the DN308 as compared to the DP80, in terms of the design philosophy behind the two very different plinths. The DN308 plinth seems to have a hollow interior, whereas the DP80 plinth (from p... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Cool_jeeves, When you went from 100 to 30 ohms load, was there a subjective loss of gain from the cartridge, which is to say, did you have to turn up the volume a bit in order to get the same sound pressure levels in your room? I ask because I th... | |
| What kind of lamp to use with a stroboscopic disc? Thanks for telling us about the app, brf. I would never have thought to check for an app. If you are too non-tech to go that route, the no-brainer solution is to buy the hand-held, battery powered strobe from KAB. Along with their strobe disc, ... | |
| GLANZ MFG 610LX Could it have been frozen in the arctic tundra, next to a Wooly Mammoth? Another victim of climate change? Perhaps the cold temperatures preserved it as new. | |
| When is it time to consider adding a SUT? andrei, I have to disagree with your statement that adding a SUT is not equivalent to adding another component, although you do make a good point that phono stages with enough gain for a low output MC usually use an internal gain stage to boost th... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Audiolabyrinth, No, I have never owned a Technics SL1600 or any others in the SL1200 lineage. But I also don't try to match cartridges with turntables. What counts is the effective mass of your tonearm. Read up on tonearm effective mass and... | |
| Adding mass to a tonearm Kombi, I think you can find the consensus of opinions by reading the above posts. If you want to save money, of course you can just add mass to the headshell. (There's no law of man or audio against doing that.) Raul and others mentioned the pos... | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? emailists, That is indeed remarkable longevity for a stylus. Is there anything special about a strain gauge design that would reduce wear on the stylus? I can't think of a reason related to the technology per se. | |
| When is it time to consider adding a SUT? I agree with audio_d. Why add a component, along with ICs and connectors, in the signal path of a cartridge with a very low output voltage, when that is completely unnecessary? But should you insist upon doing it, you would run the output from t... | |
| ZYX Ultimate with carbon fiber cantilevers -- listener reviews? Vindanpar, "Nice", I can understand when applied to a pair of shoes, but "astounding"? Nah. Ferrari's can be astounding but not shoes to wear while driving them. I don't think the price of a Rembrandt is analogous to the price of a high end cart... |
