| Tonearm recommendation Wrm, I grew up, to age 9, in Woodmont, CT, which is a tiny blue collar suburb of West Haven. I remember my friend's father digging clams on the beach to feed his family and lobstermen catching lobsters only 50 yards off-shore. Those were the day... | |
| Need Klyne Audio SK-2 manual for dip switch set up Have you tried to contact Stan Klyne? He is located in the state of Washington, and I think you can still contact him from the Klyne Audio website. He worked on my 6LX only a few years ago and was very helpful with related information. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Hi Almarg, I was very interested to read your remarks comparing the ART9 to your SS re-tipped Grace Ruby. I use an SS re-tipped Ruby (top of the line OCL stylus) regularly on one of my two systems. What struck me is that your list of the ways in... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Note: "Made in Western Germany". So that step-down transformer is at least 25 years old. Not that there's anything wrong with that. But this is to say that I don't think it's fair to dismiss ANYTHING made in China as "crap". I've got two 117V ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Aigenga, Vibrations and EMI can come from the power transformer more than anything else. It would not be much of a trick to re-mount it outside the chassis on a separate base. And you might be able to do it with the rectifiers and filter capacit... | |
| Any comments on Synergistic Research Atmosphere So, Nyame, are the Level 3 interconnects 50% better than the Level 2's, which you already rated with 5 stars, based, I guess, on cost-effectiveness? As you noted, Level 3 costs 50% more than Level 2, so to be even more cost-effective than Level 2... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Thanks, Raul. Please don't confuse the fact that I own a DV505 with the idea that I believe it to be "the best" of anything. I really think most audio equipment is flawed in one way or another and that it is our job to put pieces together that w... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Golly; I was really typing fast. Should be "affixed", not "a fixed". Should also be "Kenwood", not Kewood. | |
| Tonearm recommendation Raul, It would be helpful if I can boil down your idea into one or two simple sentences. Is it your thesis that one should standardize on one and only one geometry, Baerwald, because it offers the lowest average tracking distortion across the LP ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Dear Peter,Forgot about the rotor, which would be a fixed to the bearing/spindle assembly. Thanks. My Kewood L07D is built like that as well, perhaps this is common to all coreless motors that more or less copies of the original Dual coreless mo... | |
| Tonearm recommendation Yes, the UNI is "pricey". My only beef about cost is that, at that cost, it does not allow measurement of P2S with any accuracy. When I brought this up, after purchase, I was offered the opportunity to buy an accessory which fills that void. How... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? PBN, Was reading your instructions to Aigenga with interest, since I think I may have a go at cleaning and lubricated the bearing in my unit, once I get it back. Seems to me that loosening the plug, which I assume means turning it counter-clockwi... | |
| TTW turntables On a business level, he seemed to feel, or he wanted us to think, that he could not make a profit while also keeping up his high standards for materials and machining. He refused to compromise on either, or to lower his prices, and so chose the o... | |
| TTW turntables I think they are still in A business, just not the audio business. You might try to contact him through his "other" business, but, sorry to say, I do not know the name. | |
| Tonearm recommendation My point was not about whatever is the "correct" geometry for a DV505/507, because I don't know what that is, except it's likely to be at least close to Stevenson. My point was that twisting the cartridge/cantilever in the headshell such that the... |
