| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable All I can say is that I will surely have a listen to the Salvation, if the opportunity arises. I would guess that leveling is an issue related to the Terminator, rather than to the Salvation per se. So far as I can tell, there is nothing about the... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dear Dover, You are probably correct, and the discrepancy is probably one of semantic nature. Maybe the Goldmund spec is "per minute", for example. That would make the GP Monaco much faster than the Goldmund, which we agree it should be.But I do t... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I recall riding in a 64, the first year, and the almost unbelievable effortlessness of the acceleration. I tend to like the 64-65 for their smaller size and possibly lower weight.Some time in the foreseeable future I will be visiting my son in Tok... | |
| Has anyone replaced tubes in Aesthetix Rhea ? Dear Sbrown, Was just passing by and saw this old thread. With regard to your chosen tube complement, just be certain that the "second gain stage" does not lie within the RIAA network, because the electrical characteristics of the 5751 are not ide... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Sarcher, Have you tried listening to the SP10 Mk2A in the GTO? What year is that, 64, 65, or 66? I don't think it's a 64. Yes, I like your system, too, and the fact that the ANV works well with it would suggest it will work well in mine. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Acman, The main reason why I bought the Mat2 was its weight; it is more nearly the same weight as the original rubber mat used on the SP10 Mk3, and I wanted to be sure not to compromise the servo feedback system on the Mk3. However, now that I hav... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge What about the Omega? When I first saw it years ago, I thought the purple ball out front was the height of gimmickry. ("Lapus lazuli", indeed.) Since then I've heard the UNIverse and gained high respect for ZYX as a result.I want to add a top flig... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hi Acman, I may have said I can hear the effect of the Boston mat, but I do prefer it at the moment to all the other mats I have around here, on the Lenco and the SP10 Mk3. The "effect" is a good one. I do use the stainless steel platter mat that ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Jlin, Assuming that the "RMS" specification is made, you are correct, but over my lifetime of looking at cartridge specs, I am not sure I can say I have regularly seen that. Nevertheless, good point.Raul, That AT looks like an exciting combination... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Thanks, Doug. I searched for info on the 4D/Atmos and found your and Paul's review of same. You apparently hit the nail on the head, because all other reviews cited the same virtues and deficiencies, pretty much, for the 4D vs the UNI. I would con... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm "Ultrasonic". I don't doubt you for one minute, but WTF does "ultrasonic" mean in this context? Stereophile reviewers are notorious (in my mind anyway) for uncritically re-stating just about any pile of BS given to them by the manufacturer of a pr... | |
| Cartridge find Audio Technica AT155LC - any good? Caveat Emptor. It seems one doesn't know whom to trust in this apparently shady business of internet sales of vintage phono cartridge styli. Bluz Broz is another company that has misrepresented product, in their case it was Acutex styli. Are there... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge HEREThis is what I meant, the R1000AIRY3G sure looks like a UNIverse, but then again, there is a family resemblance among all ZYX cartridges. | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Thanks to all, and I was especially hoping Doug would respond. First of all, I cannot be right or wrong, because I was making no assertion; I was merely asking the question. Second, Doug is correct; I may have been thinking of the dual names given... | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Oh yes, I meant to add that the gibberish you (Dover) quote from the NVS website does not really tell us for sure whether it uses a servo mechanism. Could be that they are talking about the ways in which they assure the synchronicity of an AC sync... |
