| 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... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) I would say that adding another coil makes it a new and different motor, but it's a question of semantics. The basic design of a coreless motor suitable for use in a turntable has not changed since Dual invented it 60 years ago. If you look at t... | |
| Technics turntable making a mechanical sound, I think due to the platter wobbling slightly I really don't think anyone besides you can figure out what is wrong, since only you are there in the room with the turntable, and since there are several possible causes. I will say that if the platter really is wobbling, just changing the belt ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, If you want to debate the issue, I will take the opposing view. I have owned Sumiko Blue Point, Benz Glider (two versions), and Transfiguration Esprit. All in the HOMC category. I found none of these cartridges to be musically satisfyi... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? Chakster, I run the MC2000 directly into my modified Atma-sphere MP1, in balanced mode. The stock MP1 could probably handle the tiny voltage output of the MC2000, but my modifications to the MP1 included adding a bipolar transistor to the dual-di... | |
| Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm? I forgot to mention that I also own an MC2000, re-tipped by Axel under the auspices of a person who lives in Europe and who then sold it to me. The seller is near and dear to our hearts. I need to drag the MC2000 out of storage and give it anoth... | |
| So how many use MM cartridge and intend to keep it that way ? Sad about the price of the ZYX Universe series. The original UNI was about $4500 in the US. Then the UNI II was introduced as the new greatest ever, for about $8000. Now we have UNIs with really complex suffixes, for around $9000+. I bought my ... |
