| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Harold, When you say you use 20pF of capacitance, I have to assume you are ADDING 20pF to the inherent capacitance of the whole circuit from cartridge leads to phono input. Since the inherent capacitance is typically 100pF to 150pF, depending upon... | |
| Goldmund Studio - still relevant today? The Studio is "relevant", but I personally was never impressed with it. The Studietto was a real dog, IMO. These are just my private (now not so private) opinions. The T3F is a derivative of the Rabco tonearm, better quality construction, perhaps.... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven Apparently my response to Syntax 48 hours ago did not "stick". Syntax's system is posted, so it is indeed possible to discern what he likes. Sorry about that. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? My next mod to my Silvaweld phono stage, which I use for MM cartridges, will be to install a rotary switch to allow switching among different load resistances and to add capacitance. At the moment, I am using 100K fixed load in the Silvaweld. I ma... | |
| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven Syntax, Please tell me; what DO you like? I certainly know what you don't like. | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable The problem for me is that in extolling the virtue of every new tweak, it can sound as if the prior iteration was not so great, as in "massive elimination of bass smear/euphonic colouration". This makes me wonder what the tt might have sounded lik... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Small point: As I understand it, the L07D platter is not completely suspended via Maglev. Rather, the load is only partially dissipated in that fashion; there is still some vertical force exerted on the bearing and thrust pad. (I never have pushed... | |
| Repair or Sell for parts, Luxman PX-100 First, there is no need to ditch the whole table because of a glitch that only involves the tonearm. There are probably other tonearms that will mount on the plinth, if not in the same place where the built-in tonearm mounts, then possibly on the ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Harold, You are welcome to dissect the wonderfulness of the L07D and attribute that quality to magnetic levitation of the platter, but I think that misses the point. IMO, the L07D is transcendent because in its design every aspect of construction ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? I personally use other peoples' opinions only in the grossest way, as a guide to what I might NOT like. Which is why I usually don't even ask. This is because my brain already knows what it wants, and I've already spent decades taking my brain to ... | |

| Modified Lenco vs TW Raven Nantais does a great job with the base Lenco L75, for sure. But you might also consider other after-market Lenco modifiers. The DIY alternative is also pretty easy with the Lenco, because you can buy an excellent plinth, and all other stuff is mer... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Audie, There are many many things that could be done to upgrade a 7C. First of all, replace the selenium rectifiers with Schottky diodes, but in doing so, you need to be sure that the voltages don't change much. Then you can upgrade the filter cap... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Doron, I misunderstood. Some people like olives and some don't. That's cool. As for me, I have yet to hear any box speaker I could live with, knowing that I could also have what I do have as an alternative. (I don't use the term "panel" speaker, a... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, Never having heard one of these devices, I share your skepticism. However, Audpulse apparently has heard the 12AX7 version in his or some other person's Marantz 7C, and he's evidently impressed. That's all we've got to go on. Like you, I've... |
