| Anybody familiar with magnetic drive by GST 801? Hi Nicola, Can you zero the magnetic VTF and then apply VTF only by sliding the counterweight? That's one way to deal with your problem without really fixing it. But there are some who prefer the passive method for VTF anyway. Sorry I cannot help ... | |
| A Copernican View of the Turntable System Dear Henry, I just stumbled upon this revival of your interesting thread. I think in your post of March 6 you have accomplished a well known rhetorical ploy; you've raised a "red herring". My argument (and Dover's) was never primarily about plane ... | |
| Walker Audio Proscenium Black Diamond V Ditto on Lloyd. He keeps it real. | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? I saw a piece on TV the other day about Liz Taylor's jewelry collection. It may have been on display locally or up for auction or something. She had some of the biggest sapphires in the world. (OK, no cracks; I'm hip.) Imagine how many cantilevers... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Thanks, Fleib. Had forgotten about the Dynavectors. The Karat Ruby is a very nice cartridge in fact. And I believe the 23R was a flavor of one week of this thread or one of those old unobtainium Dynavectors was at any rate.You're thinking of a "fi... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Dear Audpulse, How can a cartridge that describes itself as "MC" be totally innovative and unlike anything else we know about? An MC is an MC. I pose this question in order to trick you into telling us more about it, of course.I think there was a ... | |
| Nude Turntable Project Dear Aigenga, Your listening is the final arbiter of whether any change is a good one, but I would only observe that by using a "spongy" washer where once was a solid washer, you have to some degree decoupled the motor from the rest of the chassis... | |
| Suggestions Please-Sound coming out of one speaker So if the phono stage is built in to the linestage, then the thing to do to prove that the phono stage is at fault is to switch the leads between preamp and amplifier. If that switches the problem from one speaker to the other, then the fact that ... | |
| Suggestions Please-Sound coming out of one speaker I don't know why I am pursuing this, but Jea wrote, "The sound you said you could hear faintly through the bad channel of the phono preamp could be nothing more than cross talk from the good channel." I agree with Jea, and that was a good thought ... | |
| Suggestions Please-Sound coming out of one speaker Because of the vagaries of the English language, there is always the chance I am not understanding exactly what you did to investigate this problem, but I will say it is VERY highly unlikely that all the tubes in one channel went dead coincidental... | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Raul, two posts up from this one, you do say that you swapped the cartridges between the two tonearms with no significant change in your results. Correct? | |
| Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC? Ditto to what Dave and Raul wrote. I periodically get ambitious and do things to improve in one way or another the circuitry (most often the power supplies) of my audio equipment. You would be surprised to learn how much difference a better power ... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge You will not catch me ripping LPs to digital. Syntax notwithstanding. I would never spend the time, in the first place. Nor do I see the point unless storage space for LPs is in very short supply. CDs, yes. CDs should be ripped. Jwm. Not familiar ... | |
| Alternative names for "ZYX UNIverse" cartridge Jwm, Can you describe the components of your system? Thx. | |
| Cartridge for my system? Your wisdom is needed Well said, but I think most Grado cartridges, if not all of them, are based on the moving iron principle, not MM. At least the best ones are. To the OP, you may want to look at the very long thread on MM and MI cartridges here. You will find more ... |
