| The Palladian-A step beyond Now I am getting angry. The second of my last two posts has also been removed, and I received yet another warning email. The email states that the criteria for censoring a post are as follows:"Content may be removed for one or more of these reas... | |
| Vintage MONO Cartridge Question ? I don't think anyone would argue with you that using a mono cartridge to play a mono LP is superior to using a stereo cartridge to pay a mono LP. And no one would argue with you about WHY this is true. I also agree with you in principle that I... | |
| Vintage MONO Cartridge Question ? Cleeds, I don't agree with your gross generalization, but that's beside the point. The OP seems to want a true mono cartridge, and most of those are going to be "vintage" by definition. It might be more constructive to direct him to consider one... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Flieb, What I read, on the website of a dealer who can hardly be said to be unbiased, is that aluminum was chosen for the cantilever, because its resonances are higher (not "lower") in frequency, above the audible spectrum, compared to boron, etc.... | |
| Where is the significant point of diminishing returns on hi-end turntable? Dear mmporsche, I think the AF Lenco is one of several good choices available, and it is not crazy expensive, either. Good decision. I own a highly tweaked Lenco L75 myself, so of course I would approve. So it sounds like you've got both "ends"... | |
| Can I convert stereo to mono for a phono input Peter, Sorry for being so pedantic and possibly condescending. I am sure you know what's up much better than I do, since you've got the stuff in front of you. I speak as someone who endured for several years an evident channel imbalance (L>R)... | |
| Can I convert stereo to mono for a phono input I would think that the read-out of a recording meter is very unreliable as to assessing channel balance. First, the needle is bouncing around. Second, you have no way of knowing how the material was encoded into stereo, meaning the fault may be ... | |
| Can I convert stereo to mono for a phono input Dear Peter,I have read several long treatises on azimuth and how to set it and why to set it. Two such experts were Victor Khomenko of BAT and Brian Kearns, a "guy" who used to hold forth on the vinyl asylum and who seemed to know what he was tal... | |
| Can I convert stereo to mono for a phono input I am feeling intellectually lazy, but a superficial reading of this thread leads me to think that the OP may want to achieve EQUAL amounts of crosstalk, by the method described. That's OK, but keep in mind that equal crosstalk of one channel into... | |
| Technics EPA-250 Cartridge Matching Concerns Funnily enough, I had put my A500 up for sale. Now I am reconsidering. You've really got 15?! | |
| Squeaky turntable When you start-up or when you touch (the platter?) while spinning, there is a side stress on the spindle and bearing. Both events pull the platter to one side. It is possible that, after weeks of rotating, either the lubricant in the bearing wel... | |
| Technics EPA-250 Cartridge Matching Concerns Sorry, that's "A250" arm wand. There I go again. | |
| Technics EPA-250 Cartridge Matching Concerns Sbank, If JP says the two are identical, you can "bank" on it. However, if there is a problem, any good machinist can make you what you want if you give him the specs. One guy is Colby Lamb out in Oregon. He is an audiophile/machinist par excel... | |
| Technics EPA-250 Cartridge Matching Concerns Thanks to your post on VA, I found out after decades of ignorance that my Technics EPA-500 tonearm is actually identical to a Technics EPA-250, save for the nature of the arm wand. So, thanks for bringing up this question. | |
| Record weights melbguy, Why, pray tell us, is the Durand record weight "probably the best"? I actually think it is not a well thought out product (for reasons outlined below), but I would never say it could not "sound good" (which can mean anything to anyone); ... |
