| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm Dear Dover, I have no issue with anything you say, where it's a matter of opinion. And I believe you are totally honest when you relate to us that there is something about the "sound" of the direct-drive turntables with which you are familiar that... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? You are correct about the proper order of drinks. I drank the wine when we were at dinner in a restaurant near to the jazz, and I drank the vodka later while listening to music. (In the US, they make you drink "something"; or else you pay the cove... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric et al, I own not only a used P8 ES but also a van den Hul version. Have you auditioned the latter in your system? Does it have a hope of competing with the creme de la creme? If not, can Axel make it sing?I have just had the revelation (af... | |
| Just bought a Pioneer pl 41 As long as you already own sneakers, you did good. | |
| Cartridge gain overload - please explain There seems to be an underlying assumption that the Whest phono stage is a truly balanced device. It may have XLR input or output jacks, but I find no evidence anywhere to say it is balanced. For that matter, the same holds true for the ARC, altho... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Larry, I comprehend one or two sentences in your reply to my questions, but much of it I do not get.Let's take this paragraph:"electrically speaking there will be no FR change with cartridge loading R....if there is... it may have to do with ... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Larry, I know from reading information on the Jensen transformer website that a small RC network can improve the flatness of the frequency response when one is using a SUT, but can you defend your apparent statement that a cartridge with a 5R inte... | |
| has anyone had any problems w/ Jasmine phono LP2.0 Nikola, You can pay several hundred USD per piece for REL or VCap teflons, not to mention Deuland caps. Or, you can pay a few bucks or less each for the same value caps. So I think you would admit that price is an object when a manufacturer select... | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback Makes sense, because now I think I recall that Jean was one of a few guys who did not like the idea of a titanium idler wheel. Wonder what happened to Mirko. He was making quite a few products for Lenco, Garrard, and Thorens TD124, up to and inclu... | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback "Mirko" was his name. He no longer seems to offer his products via eBay. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm I looked it up and now know Techdas is Japanese. "Techdas" sounded German to me. | |
| Direct drive vs belt vs rim vs idler arm This is the way of the turntable world: manufacturers have made their choices between hi and lo mass and hi and lo torque, and between direct-drive and belt-drive (and idler-drive). Then comes the technical justification for what each has done. Te... | |
| Jean Nantais Lenco Reference mk. ii user feedback Is this the titanium idler wheel that was being made by someone other than Jean and sold as such on eBay, etc? (I cannot recall his name.) Does it use an O-ring to contact the underside of the platter? I thought about buying that idler wheel, but ... | |
| Trans Fi Salvation direct rim drive turntable Either way, your system will be "groovy". | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dover, I feel like a politician. You quoted me out of context and from a post I wrote two days AFTER I retracted the putative assertion that there was a relationship between the two cartridges. (I say "putative" because I never intended to present... |
