| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Off-topic to Halcro and Aigenga: My particular TT101 does have an internal jumper so it can be used with 100V, 120V, or 220V, and even 50Hz or 60Hz AC input. I figured it out yesterday. Perhaps it was one of those made for the US military, as Aige... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? To my observation, this is one of the design elements that distinguishes the vintage Japanese tonearms from "modern" ones. The vintage tonearms seem to disregard the length of the stub that mounts the counter-wt, and some of them are quite long. M... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Tony, I never worry about inertia, except my own.Peter, I think the total inertia is the sum of the inertia of the tonearm in front of the pivot plus that of the stub and counterweight and anything else behind the pivot. I think what you are refer... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Well, "glue-ish" was a pun on "Jewish". Darnit! Now, if you read it again, perhaps it will make you laugh.Don't worry; I know my limitations. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? But, Peter, Raul and I were at odds on the subject. Whilst out for my evening constitutional, I thought of an additional advantage of 12-inch arms vs 9-inch: The former makes it easier for the cantilever to work against bearing friction at the piv... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I am a little disappointed not to have had some positive feedback (some "LOL"s) for my revision of Tubed1's bartender joke. Especially from you, Fleib, and from Halcro. In any case, I made myself laugh, if no one else. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Does anyone remember what cartridge Raul was last waiting for? That would be the new "WOW". I guess he will identify it in due time, and if we behave. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Raul, As I understand it, the principle potential disadvantage of a "long" tonearm, e.g., 12-inch, vs a conventional tonearm, e.g., 9-inch, is the fact that to take advantage of the superior tracking angle distortion available from the former... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1, Do you mean to say that the bartender did not ask "Which one of you is glue-ish?" | |
| VTF issues Mwilliams, There are guys who can repair tonearms with problems such as the one you describe. My guess is that there is something amiss with the dynamic balance system. On Vinyl Asylum, you could try Jim Howard, who posts as "Tubesforever" (or som... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Raul, You wrote, "Lewm, the transducer is the cartridge not the cantilever and that's why we hear what you are saying. So what?"Couple of things: (1) To say that the cartridge not the cantilever is the transducer is a semantic argument. And i... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Ecir. The proof will no doubt be in the pudding. I will report back.Thanks, too, JCarr. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, Re your questions to JCarr, we are all familiar with the fact that if one is standing very close to the turntable, one can typically hear faint music emanating directly from the cartridge. What is the source of that sound, if it is not in fa... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, The Boston Audio Mat2 has edged out the SS300 on both my SP10 Mk3 and on my Lenco. But the SS300 still ranks as "very good"; I've been using it on the Denon DP80. Interesting you remark that the DP80 and TT101 are similar. They certainly do ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks to Henry and Gary. The TT101 works exactly as "advertised" by the eBay seller. It spins very fast, faster than 45, even. The speed is no different when one selects either 33 or 45. There is no read-out on the digital tachometer, except for ... |
