| Finding Pure Water for Record Cleaning - very long smcg, Your post made me laugh. The idea of water "degrading". So I assume you perhaps refer to the container. But if it was/is made of glass, that too is unlikely. | |
| Stylus force digital scales Folkfreak, There are many digital scales on the market that feature non-magnetic weigh pans. You are quite correct that any scale with a ferrous weigh pan would give an inaccurate measure of VTF and might even result in damage to the cartridge su... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Dear Raul,I am very happy to hear that you and your family are OK, and at the same time, I am sad for others in your country who are suffering so terribly. I will do what I can to support them.Dear Inna, For me, the goal of the plinth is to elimin... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) My criterion for condition of a used LP is flawless surfaces on both sides, and they should reflect light pretty well, too. Early on in my purchasing of used LPs, I would tolerate a scratch here and there or other signs of wear, but that proved t... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Chakster, I don't understand your predicament, quite. Over the course of time, some of the best quality LPs ever produced came to us from Europe. In the good old days, my buddy and I used to look long and hard over here (typically at the now def... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor Thanks, Jmcg. My bad. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Inna, Yes, I grossly UNDERestimated the total cost for 100 really good tapes. Likewise, you horribly OVERestimated the cost for a like number of select LPs. I never ever pay more than $25 per, and by far most of my LP purchases are less than $10... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor Dear cetla, Whom are you addressing? Has someone offered to lend out a Feickert protractor for home trial? If you live in Wheaton, MD, you are welcome to come and take a look at mine, but I would rather not lend it out. I could show you how it ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Dear Nandric,Even if I never used the L07D, I would not part with it. However, I am not going to live forever, so perhaps you should become friends with my wife, who does not play LPs and whose mother lived to age 96. She will have a lot of stuff... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Before now, an SP10 Mk3 complete and in good to excellent working condition would have been worth about $10K to $12K, sans any plinth. I think the introduction of the SP10R into the market place will drive the value of the Mk3 down below the 5-fi... | |
| Audio-Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge Not surprising that an ART9 would completely crush a Grado MCZ. MCZ was noticeably inferior to Grado TLZ and XTZ, 30 years ago, to my ears in my system, of course. (I don't mean to sound snotty, but maybe I do. Sorry.) I still have the TLZ, bu... | |
| I have a Grace F9 Ruby and Signet TK 10ML on the way I have two Ruby cartridges. One still has its original elliptical stylus. The other one I purchased with no cantilever at all, at a suitably low price. (OEM stylus/cantilever carrier assembly was included but with no cantilever.) The cartridge bod... | |
| Great Experience with Feickert Protractor cleeds, Perhaps I misunderstand what you are trying to say in response to dang, but he is talking about turntables, not tonearms. In fact, there are at least 3 different "standards" for spindle diameter. As you might guess, it is critical for an... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor Raul, You equate tracking angle error with audible "distortion". I am skeptical that this is a valid assumption. (The key word is "audible".) If you are so sensitive to tracking angle error, why are you even bothering with pivoted tonearms? Yo... | |
| Dr. Feickert Protractor I am sorry to learn that your system is not accurate enough to allow you to perceive the obvious distortion that I heard when I set up the DV505 for Baerwald. I am joking, of course. But why would you say such a silly thing? Any alignment geometry... |
