| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Dear Dang, I have not mounted a cartridge in several months, but it seems to me that my Feickert protractor, which is one of the older versions (assuming there are newer versions, which does appear to be the case), is designed for only one geometr... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm ds, Have you really observed such errors? I am putting myself in your shoes. In my thought experiment, I have a new tonearm, and the manual says to mount it so as to achieve a pivot to spindle distance of 215mm (for example). What measurement w... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm First of all, Hola', Raul!Second, Dang, are you saying that after setting P2S at 207mm (which is quite short for even a 9-inch tonearm), your cartridge could be perfectly aligned with each of the two grids on the Feickert protractor, including the... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Lordie, I'm sure I have a couple of hundred mono LPs. It seems like about half or surely 40%-ish of my favorite LPs are in mono. Which is why I am fascinated right now with the subject of mono cartridges. Once I finally buy one, I will probably ... | |
| How much difference if the tonearm is mounted 5mm Dear Dang,In some responses, it seems the responder is confusing pivot to stylus tip distance with spindle to pivot distance. If the spec for your tonearm is 212mm, spindle to pivot (P2S or PTS), then it is folly to tolerate a 5mm error in that p... | |
| TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER Cdk84, Since my policy for posting on this or any other thread is never to be offensive, your remark set me to re-reading all of my posts, because I had a feeling I might have been the one who offended you. Obviously, my remark was in jest. At t... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea signature phono stage sbrown, Yes, I noticed that they seem to have replaced all the 2uF output capacitors with 4uF values. I got this from poring over the photos on their website. Thus I cannot see whether truly ALL the 2uF caps are replaced with 4uF values. Perhap... | |
| TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER Sorry, Ralph. I was referring to the OP's original question; he is or was searching for a complete Mk3 outboard PS. There is a lot more to that than just addressing the difference in wall voltage between the US and (Eastern) Japanese standards of ... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea signature phono stage Cerrot, Take it from me that upgrading the capacitors in the Rhea, which is essentially the difference between the original and the "Signature" versions, makes a world of difference. If you like your Rhea now, you will feel like you bought a new u... | |
| TECHNICS SP10 MK3 POWER SOURCE / SPEED CONTROLLER That's lovely, for someone with a Mk2 or 2A. I am loving my Mk3, however, now with Krebs modification. Was listening to it all day today. Incidentally, if the OP is still alive and still cares, it is not out of the question that Richard Krebs migh... | |
| Aesthetix Rhea signature phono stage Corby, When you use the term "powered down", do you mean switched off, using the rocker switch on the rear panel, or to "Standby" mode? If the latter, I can understand why that would damage the circuit; there are still high voltages in the chassis... | |
| Any Herron VTPH-2 Phono Stage Owners out there? What is "infinite loading"? Surely there has to be a load resistor between the grid of the input voltage amplifier tube and ground; in the absence of any other resistors in parallel, and in the absence of a SUT, that resistor is the load seen by t... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game There's nothing in the paragraph you quote from Ortofon that settles the issue of how the Quintet, in particular, is constructed. I did read Fremer's review of the 2M Mono SE, and it's a top candidate for me; I agree it seems to have been designed... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game Johnny, You may be correct in your interpretation of the use of the word "strapped". The thought occurred to me as well. (Did you read Art Dudley's comments on how three different mono cartridges are constructed?) Do you KNOW that what you say abo... | |
| A new player in the quality Mono cartridge game And Haha, here is a quote from Ortofon on their "Quintet Mono" cartridge. Caveat emptor:"Quintet Mono uses a strapped output to deliver the same output signal from both sets of pole pins."Thus, even for a given manufacturer, one must read the fine... |
