| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Dear JCarr, Touche'. The problem with my statement is that it was general and followed Audpulse's specific comment about a 47K load on an MC. Are you suggesting that the load resistor never has any impact on frequency response of an MC? If so, tea... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Duelands won't fit into my budget, let alone into my chassis'. Although I am a stickler for parts quality myself, where "affordable" (everyone has a different definition), my experience tells me that tweaks to the circuit itself (such as what you ... | |
| JC3+ Anyone? On "setting azimuth with a voltmeter".You need a high quality voltmeter and a test LP that has bands with signal in R channel, only, and in L channel, only, respectively. Preferably the frequency of the signal is 1kHz, but you will get slightly di... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Dear Dover,"As is always with audio it is a sum of the parts." Set that in stone. I totally agree and have operated on that principle for the last 10-15 years. A knowledgeable DIYer can dramatically improve upon almost anything commercially availa... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? The load resistor might affect frequency response but not gain. However, I too am wondering about Dover's claim that his 7C has adequate gain for "any" LOMC cartridge. I tend to think his unit must be modified, but he will tell us. | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Dover,That's a very interesting summary, and you certainly do have a lot of listening experience that enables you to speak with authority on the products you've listed, or at least it qualifies you to have an opinion. Did you sell the Klyne 7 phon... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Dear Syntax, It was the very rarity and cost of an original B60 that prompted me to "take a flyer" (as we say in the US) on the reproduction B60. In quality of construction and materials, I am not disappointed; it's beautifully made. So far, mine ... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Dear Nandric, You have my email address. Would you be kind enough to send your photos to me? Then we can "know" whether you and I, at least, are talking about the same item. I put the word "know" in quotations so as not to provoke a philosophical ... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? By the way, apart from the esthetics, do you have any problem using your sample of the B60? From your verbal description, it sounds as if the glitch would be an annoyance but not a real malfunction. But perhaps I misunderstand exactly what is goin... | |
| Anyone try the replica B-60 Fidelity Research VTA? Hi Nicola, I don't seem to have that problem with mine. But I would be interested to learn whether others have a had an experience similar to yours. Is there only one source, or are these replica B60s coming from more than one fabricator? I bought... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Hi Gary,I found your post of 9/16/13. I now know (once again) that your shield is made of mu metal and that the black stuff is auto interior material (which is exactly what it looks like). I probably also knew this 7 months ago, when you posted th... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Gary, I found on that thread or another DD-related thread that I first wrote about shielding the motor in my L07D, and you asked ME questions at that time. So I assume you proceeded from there, but to find out what exactly I am looking at in your ... | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Halcro, I would like to post those photos of my QL10 plinth here. Does that require first posting them somewhere on the internet, like Photobucket or Google photos? Or can I post them from my computer desktop? Thanks. It seems that I need to put t... | |
| Gace F-9 Cart I only own about 1800 LPs, so you may be right about the value of a Grace cartridge. As soon as I can find any connection between the number of LPs in one's collection and the value of a Grace cartridge, I will confirm. | |
| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? Thanks, Gary. So, basically because your mat is thicker than OEM, the peripheral ring works fine. I looked at your other photos, too. Under the platter I see first what looks like a EMI shield, a brushed silver metallic looking insert that covers ... |
