| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Not I, but wow wow wow, it must be the greatest thing since... my last fetish. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don't you guys wonder what happened to Raul? I do. I hope he is OK, and I look forward to his next thread: "Who needs MC cartridges, when we have MM?"But in my book, Raul (and the rest of us who contributed) has "given" me MM cartridges. Were it n... | |
| Grace Level ll Given the wonderfulness of my Ruby, I would be curious to listen to an F14. The nomenclature is still a bit confusing to me. There is "Level II" and within Level II there are F11 and F14? Is that correct? I've never heard of these cartridges maybe... | |
| Best cartridge to reduce hum under $400 USD What Mofi said.I would shield the motor. The cartridge is a good one. Shielding may take some time and effort to install but would be cheaper than spending on a new cartridge that will at best be as good as the one you've got. I suggest you get sh... | |
| Grace Level ll Can you provide more information? I've never heard of "Grace Level II". I own and enjoy a Grace Ruby. Thanks. | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable I for one would not hold Spirit to the letter of his "15X" statement, just to its "spirit". This is coming from a cynic who does not believe there is much to be gained by spending any more than $30K on a turntable, and I would never spend even tha... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Spirit, Do you mean to say that the Salvation with all the upgrades PLUS the Terminator are sold for a total of $5k to $6K? That truly does sound like a bargain. Also, Harold or Spirit, you now make it sound as though the magnetic field DOES opera... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Audiofun,I think the choice of turntable has very little to do with the cartridge. The cartridge to tonearm match is by far much more critical. To that end, the Koetsu will work best with a high mass tonearm. You can have the Reed built with any o... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable What is the cost of the Salvation with all these upgrades? 15X that amount is probably some considerable stack of greenbacks, like must be well over $30K, maybe $50K or more. I've never heard any turntable at that price point, let alone in my own ... | |
| Turnable database with TimeLine Dkarmeli, If the KAB locks in at slightly LOWER than correct speed, as you say above, that means my Lenco was running even faster than the KAB revealed it to be, because, as noted, the KAB indicated overspeed, not underspeed. Which means my friend... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Harold, Were you quoting the Salvation literature? If so, don't you think they misspoke? The platter never contacts the plinth in any turntable ever made. So I assume he just meant to say that there is no contact between bearing surfaces, but... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Dear Sal, I should hope there was NEVER any contact between "platter and plinth". You must mean "platter and bearing", as in the platter is magnetically suspended. But that only takes care of contact in the vertical plane. In the horizontal plane ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, I think you are searching for a mystery where there is none. We have been told twice that the cantilever is "something special". We need look no further than that. Somethingspecial is an alloy of "something" and "horsefeathers". You have to... | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? I don't want to start a ruckus, but if you want to experience a "good idler", you might also consider a Lenco. AF has done many Lenco re-plinthings. | |
| Are there other Artisan Fidelity TT owners aorund? Audiofun, Since I already have a Mk3, can you give me some idea about the cost of the plinth-ing? (I would not need any of their rebuilding services; my unit was NOS when I bought it and then Bill Thalmann massaged it thoroughly in all the same wa... |
