| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Nandric, Thanks for filling in the model number of the preferred Ikeda tonearm. I've never seen an Ikeda arm of any type, but in photos I don't see any evidence that they incorporate damping any more so than the FR tonearms. But I reckon the arm... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 In my post of 01/31/17, the one preceding Dover's last post, I should have written "because of", not "even with". It is because I am using a lighter than OEM headshell and a very lightweight MI cartridge that the CW has had to be moved so close t... | |
| What's been playing on your turntable and what turntable is it ? Upstairs, Monk at the Blackhawk on a Technics SP10 Mk3 with Reed tonearm and ZYX Universe cartridge.Downstairs, Sarah Vaughn, any of several different LPs, on a PTP Lenco with slate plinth, Dynavector tonearm, superbearing, and Phoenix drive syste... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Dover, Your logic is impeccable. My memory was not, and anyway I should have thought more about what I wrote. The actual case is that even with a slightly lighter than OEM headshell and even with the Acutex (lightweight) cartridge, the CW is very... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I responded to K's post over on his own thread. Suffice to say I too am very grateful to JP, for his work on my TT101 and eventually for replacing the so far no problem MN6042 in my Mk3 with his discrete circuit. I've posted here on my interacti... | |
| Technics SP-10MK3 Turntable and JP Jones Replacement Chip for MN6042 Furthermore, JP is a godsend to all of us (not just Technics owners) who admire the finest direct-drive turntables of yesteryear (sorry, Lone Ranger fans). I have a Victor TT101 that I bought cheaply, because it was "broken". For 3 years thereaft... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Haha! You're probably right, 2channel. I plead guilty to letting the exchange degenerate into a mano a mano. However, someone wrote very early on that the FR64S is generally considered to be far superior to the FR54, and I, for one, assumed this... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Fleib, It's telling that your only example of the move away from Rule by Law is the actions of Greenpeace. As for the rest of your random shots, where did they come from, and where are they going?Anyway, we are all under stress right now, and per... | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 Ok. This is absolutely, positively, for sure the last time I will respond. I do not perceive that the FR64S causes any sort of audible distortion when used on my Victor TT101 with the Acutex LPM320 cartridge. I have heard the Acutex in several ... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond I can only think that someone served Trump a bad taco, somewhere back in his childhood. And he's still vomiting.Meantime, yes to live music. Dynamics and more dynamics. | |
| Fidelity Research FR-64 vs. FR-54 I bow to your exclamation points!!!! | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I agree with sbank that the 17D to D3 series (I own a D3) has or did have a reputation for being a bit "clinical" sounding, which usually indicates a "rising top end". But I think we all have to be careful how we use the term I put in quotes. A... | |
| Lyra Kleos SL How are you measuring SRA? The way most people do it (by eyeballing a magnified photo), there is a large margin for error.When you say you "matched both channels" using the Foz with SRA = 96 degrees, what exactly do you mean? Did you match them f... | |
| SUTs and Resistive Loading Questions If you must use a SUT, you can either place a ~200R resistor on the primary side and no added resistance on the secondary side (47K only) or a ~43K resistor on the secondary side of the SUT, in parallel with 47K, to achieve a net 100R load. Howev... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Also, it seems based on the appearance of the various graphs that in the case of the Lyra cartridges vs the Dynavector Karat 17D3, you are comparing measurements done at least two different ways; the Karat graph looks exactly like the package inse... |
