| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop folkfreak,Crosstalk will depend upon the angle that the distal end of the cantilever, where the coils are mounted in the case of an MC cartridge, makes with the stationary magnet structures that thus create the stereo signal. That part of the car... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Thuchan, I hope you did the right thing and also sent along your torque wrench. Raul can send it over to Nandric when he is sufficiently torqued. | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop folk freak, "Sounds best" or measures best?Because THAT much tilt indicates rather poor quality control during cartridge manufacture or inaccurate measurement of crosstalk. Since Air Tight cartridges are hardly in the budget category, if I owned... | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop Thanks for your response, Benjie. | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop Benjie, When you say you were "way off" doing it by ear, what do you mean? Do you mean that the azimuth setting that sounded best to you was way off electrically, as determined by Feickert or Foz? Or do you mean that when you adjusted by Feickert... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Nandric, I am relying upon my memory of what was available to audiophiles of the 1970s. The Mark Levinson pre-preamplifier was nothing but a separate phono gain stage that did not "do" RIAA equalization; all it did was to add gain to the output f... | |
| How to go about getting a new arm board for a new tonearm Sort of an extension of what Nandric said. If no satisfaction from VPI, find a good machinist, tell him what material you want for your armboard, give him your present armboard for sizing, and let him make it. Good choices are acrylic, delrin, a... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond What I want to know is, why are Nandric’s posts always double-spaced, whereas the rest of us only get single spacing? Could this be a hangover from his days as a professor? Does he want to leave room for us to take notes?It is interesting to read ... | |
| Idler-wheel drives Did anyone notice that Jean's post dates from December, 2003? So, did Jean himself post it or did some anonymous idler fanatic post it? (Speaking as an idler devotee myself.) And if it's a copy/paste from the original "da thread", why does it b... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond To keep this on track, Halcro, did you use a torque wrench on your cartridge screws? The tension on cartridge screws can certainly affect sonics, for all the reasons you and others reiterate. If one were to draw conclusions regarding the efficac... | |
| Klaudio ultrasonic cleaner - Only using distilled water? Fellow enthusiast Rushton has published in Positive Feedback, here on the Analog Forum, and again on Vinyl Asylum, that he is using a home-made ultrasonic cleaner and his bath contains isopropanol and a nonionic detergent, diluted in distilled, de... | |
| Can an old Thorens Table be "Over Dampend" to the point where sound is adversely effected? Dear Raul,I was not even thinking about "massive turntable platters" at all.For what it's worth, I was talking about the overall structure in the most general terms. Re "lead" (the metal, Pb): I think constrained layer damping works very well bas... | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop Azimuth adjustment makes very little difference to channel balance. Azimuth adjustment is done to minimize crosstalk. In so doing, one can target ether of two goals: (1) Equal crosstalk, L to R and R to L, or (2) Minimal crosstalk without regard... | |
| Can an old Thorens Table be "Over Dampend" to the point where sound is adversely effected? This is one of those discussions where only a few of the participants are in learning mode, and the rest of us find an opportunity to trot out our own pet beliefs. Such is the nature of this hobby, and it's fine. So, here's my opinion: You can d... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Folkfreak, Thank you for taking the time to post your very early observations. Sadly, the cost is such that one cannot casually "check this cartridge out". It's more an act of faith. After you put tens of hours on the Palladian you might then wa... |
