| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Don, J Carr is like Zeus? (Assuming you meant "lightning", not "lighting".)Send him over to fix my TT101, in that case. Jonathan, please bring Aphrodite so I have something to occupy me while you are working magic.(I too thank you for posting here... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dear Mapman, my experience suggests there's more to speed control than watching those built-in strobes. But I agree that cost of the tt is no parameter by which to judge it, either. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dev, I apologize. I should not have stuck my nose into the conversation between you and Win. Win is more than capable of defending himself, if he should choose to do so. I guess I took some umbrage at the tone of your questioning, rather than the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Update on TT101. The seller was correct; it's broken. I've got a bunch of capacitors lying around here from repair of other DD turntables, so I will begin to replace those and order more as well.I also notice that of all the high-end direct-drives... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Gary. After posting my questions yesterday, I did recall that you, along with Halcro, are a long term owner of a TT101.Today I should get the platter, and then we'll see. I am debating with myself whether it is wise even to start it up, kn... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Dev, In case Win has lost interest in this thread, I would take up his defense. As he told you, each table is hand-made by him (not ever by OMA; his association with OMA was terminated a few years ago, but they never built anything related to the ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Aigenga, You wrote, "when you first power-up the TT-101 let it warm up for 5 or 10 minutes before hitting speed selection. It would also be good to spin the platter in both directions to loosen up the bearing and wake up the speed sensor."Wha... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Dear Omsed, This is not a university class or a peer-reviewed forum. Anyone is free to contribute in any way he or she prefers. I can say for myself that when I try to explain something, I am in essence stating my own reasoning of the problem for ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Halcro, I am very impressed with the quality of the construction of both the TT101 and the 7045. They are both beautiful pieces of industrial engineering. My fingers are crossed, too. It would probably be most prudent to check the DC voltages ment... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Ralph, Yes, but wouldn't you think that a 45 rpm version of any LP would have relatively lower groove tortuosity/modulation than the comparable 33, because the music signal is allowed more "room" at 45 rpm, per unit of time. Thus, I thought the OP... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Tubed1, My Grado TLZ is still here. Early on after I started following this thread, I got it out of mothballs for an audition. The results were not as stellar as is my memory of the performance of the cartridge. I had concluded that the suspension... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? And this was offensive to the Polish guy.Horse walks into a bar.Bartender says, "Why the long face?" | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? No Nikola, My FATHER's father came to the US from Poland. Oddly, he too was a tailor. I really know nothing much about that side of my family. My father was the strong, silent type. My maternal grandfather was in fact Rumanian. So, in total we hav... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? John, Yes, I just misunderstood the language of your first post on Alexandrovitch. I later figured out what you meant, and there is no disagreement with our earlier conclusion.I hate to discuss the origin of the skating force, but I love it too. S... | |
