| Which cartridge in a Nottingham Analogue? Surprisingly to me, no one has asked what is the effective mass of the Nottingham tonearm? That alone would be a major determinant of your choice of cartridges. Those on your list span the gamut from high to low compliance. (You want to mate a low... | |
| Micro Seiki MA 505 Arm - how good is it? Now he tells me!Sadly for me, I sold my MA505 MkIII long ago. Azimuth or no azimuth, I regret the decision. | |
| Anvil turntables Halc, Can you clarify what you mean when you mentioned a speed control issue: Are you trying to say that you could not get the platter speed exactly set to 33.33 or 45 rpm OR that the speed would not hold stable after setting? There's a huge diffe... | |
| 6SN7 tube question Cdrc, I agree with you only in the sense that there is no reason to expect that tubes purchased from two different reputable sources will exhibit different wear characteristics. As for "euphonics", tubes of one brand do indeed sound different from... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... So far as I can tell, 50ANV is no longer available, and I could not find that anyone is selling NOS ones these days. I got the impression, right or wrong, that ART7 replaces the 50ANV, in effect. | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... Thanks, Al. I am in need of a mono cartridge. Based on that table and other information, I gather that AT make at least two mono cartridges of interest. Has anyone here auditioned an AT Mono? I started reading this thread with a bias toward the AT... | |
| 6SN7 tube question There is a lot of lore built up around the various brands and types of 6SN7s. Most of all, if your Rogue came with GTA or GTB types, stick with either one of those types. (They have the same max plate voltage of 450V, whereas the GT types are only... | |
| RIAA vs Columbia vs Decca Vintage, Such a device as you propose would have to operate on an already RIAA-equalized signal from the phono section. That's a whole different kettle of fish from applying an alternative equalization curve within the phono stage circuit itself. ... | |
| Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ... I like what Pani said. My Ortofon MC2000 is relatively new to me and my system. I got that thrill of discovery when I first auditioned it (without a SUT into my modified super hi-gain Atma-sphere MP1 loaded at 47K). And I think I reported my resul... | |
| fabulous Technics EPC-100 series re-tip I would trust Axel. He seems to have done a great job re-tipping my Ortofon MC2000, another "heirloom" cartridge. It's easily the finest sounding LOMC I have ever heard in my own system. But my advice would be to adhere as much as possible to the ... | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision Logic is the hobgoblin of the audiophile mind. | |
| Woofer pumping WHY?? What? Your not angry at Doug, too? | |
| Help with Turntable/arm/cart decision You try to help a guy, and this is what you get... Sheesh! | |
| Woofer pumping WHY?? I totally agree with your assessment. In fact, I think there may be two separate issues: (1) the inherent defect in the tt, and (2) some sort of room interaction that is partially ameliorated by the granite shelf. At least, these dual hypotheses a... | |
| Woofer pumping WHY?? Matt, Take a second look at your own logic in your post of 08/02. If the woofer pumping in your system were due to "the records we play", then a slab of granite placed under the tt could not have much effect on the problem, because the source of t... |
