| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Hey Dave, that would be great. I will hold up on returning the stylus until I receive photos from you privately or here. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I've got a hand-held magnifier that should do the trick, maybe even without opening the clear plastic box. Anyway, there is low probability that I lucked out here. Just wishful thinking.My understanding is that LP Gear is taking these items back u... | |
| Best vintage or modern tonearms for Denon DP 80 So far as I know, none of the tonearms so far mentioned in this thread do not have interchangeable headshells. Nearly all "vintage" tonearms did. | |
| Best vintage or modern tonearms for Denon DP 80 IMO, and it's only my opinion based on little data, the tonearms under discussion here are all about the same in "quality". You would be better off, perhaps, to think what cartridge you will want to mount on your second tonearm, and pick the tonea... | |
| Inner groove "Rumble" Raul, How can you rule out the most obvious (to me) possibility that the platter bearing is worn or low on lubricant? He most lately said that the rumble is audible at all points across an LP. But he has lost interest, and so therefore have I. | |
| Best vintage or modern tonearms for Denon DP 80 I can't believe I am responding here, but unless you want to use two tonearms, why bother with a second tonearm that is at best going to be about as good as the one you have? (Which isn't bad at all.) | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Assume I open the box. How will I know I am looking at beryllium? | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? There is no such animal as centrifugal force. It is fictional. Any object in motion will tend to remain in motion in a line determined by the vector of the force that set it in motion. This is Newton's First Law, and the following is from Wikipedi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Audpulse. Fleib, I think, already told us as much. I was just wondering whether LP Gear may have had a mixed batch, some of which were genuine 550ML and some like the ones you and I and others were talking about. Mine is definitely a darke... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Nandric, they did originally come with their own subwoofers. But those would now be 30 years old, and they sucked in the first place, according to those who have heard them. Moreover, there is a bass amplifier built onto the chassis of the direct-... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Fleib, (Yes, my main speakers are SL 845PXs with drastic mods to the input stage of the spkrs.) As Nandric is fond of reminding me, I also have a pair of Beveridge 2SWs in my basement. For 6 months Bill Thalmann has been working on their direct-dr... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, I now recall that Kelly's issue with tubes was this very one of the problem of matching them in a balanced circuit. Mark went on to design and implement a balanced circuit wherein the imbalance is automatically compensated for. His own... | |
| Do 45 RPM records need higher anti-skate setting? Omsed, Point taken. Sorry.John, The tonearm is stationary, resisting the force of friction on the stylus tip which would tend to want to pull the tonearm clockwise in the direction of LP rotation. But I have privately wondered about a tiny centrip... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Fleib, Your argument about duplication of parts sounds exactly like one that I heard several years ago from someone who is associated with Mapleshade Audio. That was their argument against balanced anything. With all due respect, I guess this... | |
| Best vintage or modern tonearms for Denon DP 80 My DP80 is mounted in a slate slab, weighs about 75 lbs. For feet, I use three small cans of Mandarin orange slices in water, available at your local supermarket for about $6, total. To the bottom of each can, I affixed a Black Diamond Racing tipt... |
