| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, If I am understanding your post correctly, you are saying that you have not heard the MC2000. Is that the case? Or do you mean that you never heard one with its original cantilever/stylus? | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Pani, Will you like the 10R better if the price is more than $10K? Some will. I find it pointless to argue about what the price will or won't be. Whatever it will be is what it will be. Also, haven't you changed your tune just a little bit? W... | |
| "Straight" talk Stringreen, I am basically agreeing with you about the value of correcting azimuth. On the subject of the Foz and its wonderfulness, I am not qualified, because I do not own one, and I do not fully understand how it works. I do know however, that... | |
| My new Idler - but is it an idler ? Yes, I agree that the larger the diameter of the idler wheel, the better. The set-up of the Trans-fi would seem to dictate that energy from the motor can enter into the plinth, but Vic is a very smart engineer. I trust he knows more than I do abo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Very interesting post, Chakster. Perhaps Nandric can tell us what Axel used to do with MC2000s. I certainly do not know, but your point (that re-tipping would probably change the cartridge) is well taken and one of which I am not unaware. (This l... | |
| "Straight" talk Stringreen, Fact is, if one is going to be truly anal about maximizing the listening experience for each and every LP, then one would be constantly fiddling with tonearm parameters. Maybe I should be embarrassed to admit it, but when I am in a li... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Analogluvr, The compliance to effective mass match is not very restricting as I see it. Based on the equation, the resonant frequency is inversely proportional to the square-root of the product of mass X compliance. Because we take the square-roo... | |
| "Straight" talk folkfreak, Perhaps I spoke to soon. I agree with you; I read the rest of the piece by Durand, and he does get it right, or at least I agree with the gist of it.If you’re using an instrument to set up azimuth by measurements of crosstalk, rather th... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Nandric, I hope you know that my original definition of "acerbic" was only meant in good fun. I want all the Serbs I can get, especially based on what happened with the Croates (Croatians?) Also, there are some good looking female Serbs out... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nothing. I have to post to get to this page. | |
| "Straight" talk Folkfreak, At first reading, I find a few problems with the blurb on the Durand website. First, correct azimuth is ideally as they say, with the stylus perfectly centered in the grooves (however vague that is). But most cartridges are not perfec... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Thank you for your response. I know for sure that you have heard the MC2000 "both ways". Therefore I take it seriously that you say the dedicated SUT for it is not a sine qua non. (Nandric will translate; he is a scholar and a lawyer.)By the... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Aha! Creating my post above has taken me to p. 254. Bueno. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I find that I am now unable to get past page 1 of this thread, which is now about 254 pages long. Is anyone else having difficulty? This post is inserted in the box at the bottom of page 1. I don't know whether it will show up on p. 254 or p. 1... | |
| "Straight" talk I've been all around the block with azimuth, aided and abetted by the fact that I own a Triplanar, which was once one of a very few tonearms that allowed precise adjustment of azimuth (albeit while messing up zenith). (Nowadays, there are many to... |
