| My Dynavector DV Karet/Ruby stylus is sideways Dear Nandric, "+/-175E". Does this mean that in certain cases, Axel pays you 175E after he fixes your cartridge? (Could not resist, sorry.) | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic This may end up competing with Raul's thread for longest on the website, but it also competes with the now defunct TV series, "Seinfeld", in that the subject is "nothing".Thuchan, I have to disagree with you. At least in theory it should not be be... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? The only thing I take away from the above few posts is that I agree with Raul on the notion that a high quality digital source is very valuable to use as a reference in order to know what is happening in our analog rigs. For many months I was with... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? I must amend what I wrote about the Lenco vs 927 "shootout". Jean had nothing to do with it and candidly admitted that he was not even present. I think Jean had compared one of his creations to some other model of EMT, maybe a 930. (I found this i... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Ct, I have to agree with Bydlo. I read that "review" back when Jean published it on his lengthy Audiogon thread. There was not much in the way of objectivity. Good as Jean's Lenco turntables are, it is a stretch to say his comparison to the EMT 92... | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? So you're really comparing a turntable/tonearm/cartridge/built-in phono stage system to a bunch of other turntables with other tonearms and cartridges. But can you say what turntables you have side by side with the EMT927, besides Caliburn and MS?... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Raul, I take your point. Syntax, Another story. I have a neighbor with a different brand of megabuck belt-drive turntable. I will not mention it, because I do think it is a very good sounding high quality product. I was in his listening room when ... | |
| Soundsmith re-tips received today I just received my Grace Ruby with the select LC stylus and new ruby cantilever, from SoundSmith. I am anxious to get it up and running. | |
| Why will no other turntable beat the EMT 927? Thuchan, It would help if you would list the turntables that you have actually compared to the EMT 927, in the "here and now" (as HP used to say). What I mean is not to rely on remote memory of how this or that turntable sounded.I know you have th... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dgob, Sometimes I go for humor ahead of substance. Just kidding. We all know where I stand on the issue of plinths. I have done the work to reach my conclusions, so I feel ok as regards my own preferences and my own system. However, I am beginning... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic Raul, You tend to use the term "distortion" to describe any factor that results in a deviation from perfect reproduction (whatever that is, and sadly it is often subjective) of what you perceive to be in the grooves. In that sense, I agree that el... | |
| Simple & Cheap Way to Cut Turntable Vibrations Nandric, I went out to buy canned sauer kraut in water and decided, right there in the supermarket, that the Mandarin orange slices would be better, because there was more water in the cans and they are heavier. Turns out, the canned sauer kraut i... | |
| Brinkmann vs TW Acustic I think we can all agree that it is possible for a turntable to be "Timeline speed accurate" and sound bad, for other reasons. It is also possible for a turntable to be slightly inaccurate for speed under load and still sound great.Dear Raul, Your... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Guess what. I don't hate digital, and I too just purchased a new device, an Oppo BDP105. I bought it to replace my highly tweaked Sony SCD777ES, which I have owned for a decade. But, alas, the Sony developed a fault that no one can fix. The Oppo w... | |
| Transfiguration Proteus Thanks for your insight, Raul. I have not heard either the Orpheus or the Phoenix, but I know the general feeling is that the Phoenix is very good, too. I acquired my interest from having heard the Temper many years ago, an excellent and very neut... |
