| The Palladian-A step beyond Last night I had reason to unbox my UNItractor (or whatever Dietrich calls his first and most elaborate protractor) in order to align a new cartridge, and I once again was able to appreciate its elegance. It is not a simple device, but I like wha... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Did anyone else get censored for relating a story about what Groucho Marx said about Doris Day? No, I don't think so. Just me.Geoch, I am not quite sure what you are trying to say, but your prose is lovely. Except I think it's "whiskey-tango-fo... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Chakster, Do you mean to say that the JLTi has an inherent input capacitance equal to zero? Even if it's solid state, I doubt that that is the case, but perhaps if it uses a differential cascode input topology, the capacitance can be very ve... | |
| Arm Upgrade Suggestion? I do not understand, nor will I ever understand, why folks pose questions such as this. ("What tonearm, what cartridge, what turntable, etc, etc".) It is an open-ended invitation to confusion, or did you think that 40 eventual responders (or may... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Chakster, Just so you know that life is not so simple, MM cartridges respond to load capacitance as well as to load resistance. Sometimes you can can compensate for the lack of one by using more of the other. Anyway, I don't recall where I picke... | |

| The Palladian-A step beyond Big fan of that Acutex, here too.Every time I go back and forth between the SoundSmith Grace Ruby and the LPM320STR, I change my mind about which I like best. | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop Neither Mikey nor I are perfect. He wrote (among many other words):"Were the stylus perfectly aligned with the cantilever, cantilever perpendicularity to the record surface would guaranty minimum crosstalk and correct setting of azimuth."He left ... | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop folkfreak,Crosstalk will depend upon the angle that the distal end of the cantilever, where the coils are mounted in the case of an MC cartridge, makes with the stationary magnet structures that thus create the stereo signal. That part of the car... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Thuchan, I hope you did the right thing and also sent along your torque wrench. Raul can send it over to Nandric when he is sufficiently torqued. | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop folk freak, "Sounds best" or measures best?Because THAT much tilt indicates rather poor quality control during cartridge manufacture or inaccurate measurement of crosstalk. Since Air Tight cartridges are hardly in the budget category, if I owned... | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop Thanks for your response, Benjie. | |
| What is more accurate , the fozgometer or the diplay of the oscilloscoop Benjie, When you say you were "way off" doing it by ear, what do you mean? Do you mean that the azimuth setting that sounded best to you was way off electrically, as determined by Feickert or Foz? Or do you mean that when you adjusted by Feickert... | |
| The Palladian-A step beyond Nandric, I am relying upon my memory of what was available to audiophiles of the 1970s. The Mark Levinson pre-preamplifier was nothing but a separate phono gain stage that did not "do" RIAA equalization; all it did was to add gain to the output f... | |
| How to go about getting a new arm board for a new tonearm Sort of an extension of what Nandric said. If no satisfaction from VPI, find a good machinist, tell him what material you want for your armboard, give him your present armboard for sizing, and let him make it. Good choices are acrylic, delrin, a... |
