| 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... | |
| "Straight" talk I agree that improper adjustment of azimuth can result in suboptimal listening, but I fear also that improper adjustment of azimuth often results from either improper use and understanding of devices used to check crosstalk or use of faulty measur... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, "Acerbic" means "No Serbs" or "Without Serbs", obviously.I am glad that I lined up with Dertonearm in thinking that possibly the MC2000 might benefit synergistically (means 1+1=3) from being matched with its dedicated SUT, the T2000. I'd... | |
| My new Idler - but is it an idler ? Kudos to you for the effort, but one could say that there ARE commercially made "modern" idler drive turntables, if you count all those add-on rim-drive systems. I guess TT Weights and Trans-fi made or make "from scratch" rim drives, as well. Gr... | |
| Why we upgade To upgrade is to live. I thought everyone knew that. | |
| koetsu I own a Koetsu Urushi. Which I like. Unlike other cartridges in the Koetsu line below the level of the "stone body" Koetsu's, the Urushi has some low bass and extreme treble. Otherwise, the Koetsu sound is a midrange sound, once again excepting ... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Audiofun, My Mk3 was Krebs modded by Bill Thalmann in Springfield, VA. I think it was a worthwhile upgrade, and I am not sure how the smell of linseed oil, assuming I were to remove my platter and sniff, is necessarily a detriment to the listening... |
