| MULTIPLE ARM TURNTABLE Nkonor, I would ask Manley regarding other changes between the v1.0 and v2.0 of the Steelhead. The layout is different, in addition to the motorized volume control, but I don't know about anything else.Doshi Alaap is quality for sure. My only be... | |
| MULTIPLE ARM TURNTABLE I own the Manley v2.0 and like it a lot. I use it to drive a pair of Beveridge 2SW speakers via the built-in direct-drive Beveridge amplifiers. You'll need no separate linestage, unless you want multiple high level inputs. The Steelhead only ha... | |
| How many LP's djf1, Your small-ish LP collection is merely a correlate of your age. At 55, I surmise that you came into the hobby at a time when LPs were considered de classe'. Keep on buying, is my advice.As for the TransFi, without a doubt that would be my ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jessica, Re sibilance with your "new" AT15Sa, maybe a smidgeon more VTF would cure or at least ameliorate the sibilance on forte passages. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Not to be a nitpicker, but the Stanton 980LZS has about 10- to 100-fold lower inductance than does the typical MM cartridge, along with much less signal gain. Yet you've always maintained that you prefer the HZS (high output) version, with ... | |
| Tonearm microphonics Clearthink, You wrote, "A microphone converts sound to an electrical signal by employing the use of a diaphragm. A cartridge is actually a tiny electrical generator that uses a stylus/cantilever to create the signal using a magnet and coil and th... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Trust that UPS will find a way to deny any culpability at all. Zero. It's simply NEVER their fault. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Peter is on to something. Look under the bottom of the bearing well. There you will see a large slot-head screw. The screw has the bearing thrust plate built into it and adjusts the spindle up and down, but if the screw is in too far (clockwise ... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms I know. I am a terrible person. | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms Raul, After posting, I saw your earlier question to me, up the thread. The chosen headshell offset angle and the suggested P2S distance do give a clue as to the intention of the designer regarding alignment geometry. If you are willing to twist ... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms Raul, I respect your opinion, but I don't necessarily do everything as you would do it. For my 505, I do not use the Dyna spec; I use Stevenson. Stevenson allows the cartridge body to be parallel to the long axis of the headshell and seems to so... | |

| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I believe this is the second time that someone has cited that article in Audiocircle only to be reminded that all the principles are right here on this thread. I am the guy who gave Thuchan (aka Eckart) the chip for his TT101. I gave him two, in... | |
| Curved and Straight Tonearms One internet guru who refrains from posting here these days gave a qualified recommendation for Stevenson alignment, as follows: If your LPs are "vintage", meaning original pressings from the golden era of the late 50s and 60s, he saw a merit in u... | |
| Fm tuner I scanned through all of the above. No one mentioned my Luxman T110 tuner. Decades ago I went from a Marantz 10B to this Luxman, not because I expected it to outperform the Marantz but because it is great (enough) sounding and remains stable ove... |
