| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? PS. My remark about the Anna derived from one of your recent previous posts, wherein it seemed that you placed the Anna in high regard. I infer that I misunderstood you. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I did not know that MF had published the results of his listener poll. (I would not call it a contest, exactly.) Thanks for the URL. Yes, John Ellison, on VA, pointed out that the length of the cut was shorter (or longer?) for one of the 10 downlo... | |
| TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive FWIW, More than a few tonearms are made by Jelco to be sold under other brand names. I've never owned a Jelco or a Jelco clone, but many speak well of their better efforts. I am not familiar with the tonearm, but why do you say it is "silly".If yo... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle John, What do you think is meant by the first sentence in that article you referenced?:"Adjusting the cartridge for optimum SRA may alter the VTA away from optimum. Or vice versa."I usually think of VTA as a useful surrogate for SRA, but I guess t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Raul, In the above post, in the second paragraph, you seem to be ranking the Ortofon Anna as being above many of the other expensive LOMCs currently available. Were you aware of those digital downloads created by M Fremer, where he played the s... | |
| Review Almarro 318B It is of no consequence to the goodness of the amplifier, but the 6C33C is not a double triode. There is a single cathode, grid, and plate in each glass envelope. There are indeed two pairs of filament pins, perhaps because the tube sucks up 6.4A ... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle On the subject of stylus overhang:If the pivot to spindle distance is set exactly right, meaning +/-0.3mm of the recommended, because that is the best anyone can do, then it seems to me that small errors in overhang (say +/-1.0mm, but I would have... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Dear Raul, Perhaps I am mistaken but was there not a time when you expressed the opinion that small errors in overhang do not make much audible difference, may not even be "important"? I thought that was your position vis a vis that of Dertonearm ... | |
| installing the SME V tonearm in the Technics SP10 Manitunc et al, I believe it is the square escutcheon that surrounds the platter and is part of the chassis that will get in the way, not the platter. The square also makes mounting of many tonearms with side pillars to adjust VTA difficult, awkwa... | |
| Pass Labs XONO's hum sound Do any of these devices have switching power supplies, perchance? | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Yes, but "timing" per se is the job of the turntable. The turntable provides the "X-axis" for the music, which is time. Who could argue that correct time is not important? Not me. | |
| Stylus Rake Angle None of you explained the mechanism, only why it is a good thing. I agree it is a good thing. After thinking about it last night (what I do in the dark before sleep), I decided maybe it has to do with how music is encoded in the groove vis how the... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle Peter et al, If you hear an effect of VTA on timing, I don't doubt it. I just wonder why that would be so. I certainly believe that VTA adjustment makes a difference, and I do pay attention to it in a non-anal way. However, I never thought about i... | |
| Stylus Rake Angle "Adjust for proper timing between fundamental and harmonics."Since it came from Frank Schroeder, who is widely regarded as a guru in all matters vinyl, this simple statement sounds brilliant and true. Now, will someone please tell me how "timing" ... | |
| Rhea vs Pass XP-15 Almarg's remarks make good sense. I note that the "Signature" version of the Rhea uses coupling caps that are twice the value of those in the non-Signature version. (4uF vs 2uF, respectively.) The larger caps would go some distance to ameliorate t... |
